Who are you, to work with the Ascian.

[uber_marionettist]

Lol. "The" Ascian.

Who am I, though? Hm. That's such a loaded question.

Where I come from, I'm practically God. There's nothing I don't know and nothing I can't do; at most, it just takes a little cognitive elbow grease. I know there's like a 50% chance you think I've outed myself as a rich politician with a god complex, but I'm actually dead serious. Not to worry, though.

Here, I'm just some guy. Art's one of my hobbies.

You can call me Dirk.

[prayreturn]

[ ...So he's a Primal, she assumes. With a name like that and the boasting. ]

I understand.

[uber_marionettist]

[.......

Wait.]

What.

[prayreturn]

Dirk. I know this land alters our abilities and forms. And you may be from a different star then I.

But I doubt you are a politician. And I doubt your influence is as strong here.

[uber_marionettist]

Huh.

You're right about literally everything you just said. Which is a little uncanny, and makes me wonder what the hell you're missing because I know I basically didn't tell you jack shit just now.

It's also possible I'm missing something, but that's actually impossible. So it's gotta be something on your end.

[prayreturn]

My organization was made - in part - to deal with threats like you. Beings that call themselves Gods. While I have no influence or allies here, that will not stop me.

[uber_marionettist]

....

Yeah, okay. Something is definitely hinky but that's aight. You'll figure it out eventually. Or not. It's not really my problem what you decide to do. I mean, it sounds like you plan to make it my problem, for some reason? I literally just told you. Here I'm just some guy. But if you want to tangle with me, that's cool. I look forward to it. Might even be fun.

In fact. The more I think about it, the more this sounds like the start of a grand new something or other. I've been pretty bored. So yeah, here's hoping you'll make it worth my time.

Come and get me.

Wait.

Wait.

Hang on.

Before you get all fired up about stopping me from producing another movie or whatever.

It only seems fair to warn you: that has, historically, been a losing position. Stopping me, in general, is pretty much futile. Catching me is also pretty notorious for being doomed before it's even attempted. I'm sure to you this sounds completely nonsensical, but I'm actually being completely sincere. And more importantly, everything I am saying is both true and well-precedented. And in doing so, I have laden this exchange with a considerable weight of prior significance, thereby granting one of us a distinct advantage in the future.

Knowing this, you still choose to make an attempt at... whatever it is you think you're doing? I'm still not completely clear on what 'dealing with' 'threats' 'like' me is supposed to entail. But don't tell me. Finding out will be part of the fun for me.

[ She is not a primal slayer. She knows she's not. But in this land, everybody is depowered, and everybody cannot die.

She cannot stop him. But she can protect others. She... can stop others from being hurt. (She had to be stronger.) There is so much she could say.

But there is so much she does not type or say. She does not know how much he knows about her. (And how, technically, he knows more then she does.) ]

I know I am at a disadvantage. I also understand that you may work with the Ascian Emet-Selch to create more of a disadvantage.

I am prepared for such. As such, I shall not share my plans nor my thoughts - else there would be no point in planning.

[uber_marionettist]

Good. I'll leave you to it, then.

Oh. And by the way--

Your fursona's name is 'Argos.'

[prayreturn]

If this fursona is meant to be me, why would it not share my name?

[uber_marionettist]

Lol.

[prayreturn]

?

[She can wait all she wants, but there will be no reply.]
