[Red Fish is the party ship! yeeeeah!


...no, I lied. really, does anyone on this ship know how to have fun at all? like, really have fun? does anyone here gamble or go dancing or party all night long?

maybe the Red Fish just have fun in unconventional ways-- like reading, or sipping tea, or constructively beating the crap out of each other.

who needs a worlds-famous casino station when you have simple joys like that, right?]

[he considers this, for a moment, stepping over a tangle of roots, eyeing the dimly-lit path ahead of them.]

Hm.

[...his opinion is poignant and eloquent, as usual.]

[child_of_bhaal]

You wanna vague that up a little for me? I'm somewhat overwhelmed by your specificity.

[There's a little sass happening here. But it's at least good natured.]

[theboogieman]

[well, he assumes that the "Taint" is more or less an urge to destroy and murder things, given her background. vampires have a similar, rampantly-spread impulse. the Berserker line comes to mind.

so if she wants his thoughts, well. can't say she didn't ask for it.]

If you go crazy, I'll kill you.

[strangely, this is not the first time he's promised this to a crewmate.]

[child_of_bhaal]

I appreciate that.

[ She's serious.]

But it's not really an issue of sanity. More of morality versus instinct. The Taint doesn't make me mindless. It makes me not care that you're my friend.

[theboogieman]

[he narrows his eyes at her--though, honestly, it's hard to tell if that's because of the threat of losing morality, or the fact that she called him her friend.]

Vampires experience a similar degradation over time.

[--oh, nevermind, it might actually be the morality this time.]

[child_of_bhaal]

[The fact that he didn't argue, in Sye's opinion, means he doesn't disagree.]

Really? That seems a little unfair. The undead on Toril just start off evil. Apparently, directly in proportion to how good they were in life.

[theboogieman]

Hrm.

[he lowers his eyes back down to the path. he doesn't like it. any of it. he isn't sure how to explain what's bothering him, so he tries again--]

Don't run off.

[child_of_bhaal]

[Oddly that makes her feel comforted, a little calmer. She smiles at little at him, gives him the gentlest punch to the arm.]

Okay. You're the boss.

[theboogieman]

[he, in return, gives her a much tougher punch. he'll move on pretty fast after that, though--he doesn't want to stick around next to her and start getting worried or nervous or something.]
