So close to what?

The end of one nightmare, and the beginning of another, keh heh heh.

And that is something you wish to achieve?

Most certainly. The monotony of this one is only matched by the hostility of it's inhabitants. [Himself included, but that's beyond the point.]

Do you ever imagine kinder dreams? I do not know many who seek nightmares. {And complain over the monotony of them.}

I've no place in dreams. Nothing awaits me but flames and fighting, and this is how I prefer it.

You allow someone else to dictate your success.

[spoken like he knows exactly what's going on even if he doesn't.]

My success certainly is not what is at stake. However, missing an opportunity is inexcusable, and while I'd love to be the one pulling all of the strings, it would be folly to think that I am the puppetmaster in this particular instance.

We are all but pawns of the gods, but that doesn't mean we don't get to give them a little push now and again.

[I mean, how is he supposed to 'put in an app' or whatever it was muns did that allowed him to get out of his current world? That seems a bit out of his realm of influence.]

You are a pawn.

I rule my own board.

What planet do you hail from?

[He offers a hearty, if not foreboding laugh.]

So you are a god then? How interesting.

Planet? Mmmh, I hail from the Kingdom of Carim.

[ooc: Try as I might, I can not find any name for an overworld for Dark Souls. Lordran is where the game takes place, but it's made kind of obvious that this is the name of a fallen kingdom and not the name of the world. Also, I doubt a medieval-style knight would really have TOO much of a concept of a 'planet', aha.]

No. But I do not need them.

Not as you do... nor anyone else...

I have not heard of Carim.

[ooc: that's fine, i know the game is kind of loose with lore and whatnot.]

[As someone who is literally in love with a goddess, he is personally offended, but it manifests as another laugh.]

Truly, no one needs the gods, but they have a way of getting in the way.

[Quite literally. Unlike many worlds, Lordran is rife with gods walking amongst the living. And messing things up for them.]

It's a glorious kingdom, where there is the freedom to take the lives necessary to further your goals.

[in the way. how true.]

And what is your goal, that requires the extermination of life.

Mmmh, and that is the question, isn't it? Trying to gauge whether or not to just label me a murderer, how mundane.

I take it you are not aware of the Undead condition. Though I suppose my goal is ultimately just to meet a goddess... Or perhaps it's simply to put and end to all of this frivolous fighting, the wretched droves grasping for humanity as if it would save their souls. Keh heh heh...

[a long pause as he processes the stranger's words.

then:]

Undead?

[a stunning conversationalist, here.]

[Of all the... where was this one from where he could not even... Nevermind. Lautrec wasn't even going to waste the energy trying to express how flabbergasted he is.]

Yes. Undead. No longer amongst the living, yet not lying still as a corpse ought to? The curse of the Darksign? That thing, where people turn into beasts, lusting for the souls of the living?

... Just where were you from?

[stalker doesn't understand. dead is dead where he comes from... except in the case of some rare enemies...]

I am everywhere. The entire solar system, my territory.

[pause. then, demanding:]

By what means do you reanimate corpses.

[At this point, he just groans. What kind of a question is that?]

If we knew the method, then I'm certain we would stop such a blight. It's not my doing, in any case, just a simple fact of life these days. The Age of Fire is coming to an end, and many things are simply not explainable.

A bit inquisitive for someone who is 'everywhere', don't you think?

[TIME 2 GET SASSY]

You seem primitive.

Your armor is full of weak points. As if you have pilfered the makings of the Orokin.

[He cackles at that, better at handling insults than he is at educating inquisitive minds.]

Keh heh heh heh.

Getting defensive, are we?

My armor serves it's purpose. If an airtight defense were necessary, I'd be stuck in the onion suits from Catarina. And what of you? Some sort of artificial way to enhance your fighting? Pfeh. You must be from the East, relying on fancy tricks, smoke, and mirrors.

Primitive.

[He just clicks his tongue. He had only asked how one could be 'everywhere' and not know of these things. Guess he didn't have an answer.]

oooh dark souls! massive props

Aha, thanks! I'm a big fan of side characters whoops

i just started playing das1 last week! it's addictive

Ah, it really is! I just beat it recently for the first time, and I'm replaying now nngh

i think i'm about halfway through? sen's fortress is terrible

lol oh man sen's fortress! Once you get through it once it seems easier though, first time is hard

i'm gonna skip fighting the snake ppl and just try a suicide run... pro strategy here

LOL I went slow and killed enemies with arrows or pyromancy in precarious places

ahaha yeah i finally got to that secret bonfire... booking it did not end well

I found turtling it and screaming NO helps a lot in Dark Souls

that + staring in utter disbelief that i just lost all those souls is basically what i've been doing

Sounds like you are playing Dark Souls right. Apologies if I end up hunting you down in PVP ;P

see that would require me to run around as a human and not die after i kindle the fire hahaha

XD True enough! I generally just do Forest Covenant fighting anyway ;u;
