Magic? Bloody magic.

No. Absolutely not.

Where's the challenge in that?

[notjustinthemirror]

Seeing if you can get the blood to spray in interesting patterns.

That's what I'd do if I could make people explode.

[hasstandards]

Probably a good thing you can't, then.

[... can you?]

[notjustinthemirror]

Says you.

[He looks down at his bandaged hands and tilts his head.]

Actually I think I could, if it wasn't for..

[He gestures to the mask.]

What are your other magically powered options?

[hasstandards]

Fire. Plants. Some other spells that belong in a magic book. As I said, I'm not interested.

[notjustinthemirror]

Apparently you haven't noticed that what you're interested in doesn't matter so you might as well pick something that doesn't suck.

Otherwise your mun might stick you with the ability to talk to animals and feel their pain, and won't that make hunting such fun?

[hasstandards]

[He grunts.]

She wouldn't.

[notjustinthemirror]

[ Oh now he's laughing. ]

Of course she would.

[hasstandards]

[He's looking less and less comfortable by the second.]

Wouldn't change anything. I'm used to hunting. You kill what you have to.

[notjustinthemirror]

Until it starts telling you about its family.

There might not even be hunting in this place. So then she'd have to think up something worse.

[hasstandards]

Of course there's hunting. There's always gonna be someone or something that's stickin' its nose where it doesn't belong, and someone's going to have to take care of it.

[notjustinthemirror]

People too?

[ Oh now he's interested. ]

That explains a lot about your personality.

[hasstandards]

What are you gettin' at?

[notjustinthemirror]

Nothing.

Touchy aren't you?

Well I hope you get stuck with something good so you can kill people in the way that's most amusing to you.

[hasstandards]

S'not about being amusing. I'm not some crazed gunman.

[notjustinthemirror]

Aren't you though?

[hasstandards]

No. I'm an assassin.

[notjustinthemirror]

And there's a difference?

[hasstandards]

Yes. I'm a professional. It's a job.

[notjustinthemirror]

Assassin or crazed gunman, at the end of the day the dead people are still dead people. I doubt they care the caliber of person who killed them.

[hasstandards]

The ones who hired me to do it do.

[notjustinthemirror]

They'd probably pay you a lot more if you offed the offending party in a creative way.

[hasstandards]

Being creative isn't being efficient. S'not that I can't make an impressive shot every now and then, though.

[notjustinthemirror]

Two birds with one bullet hmm?

Just as a passing thought, it's more illegal to get paid to kill someone than to just kill someone for fun. If those are the kinds of things you think about.

[hasstandards]

Oi, I already told you that I don't kill people for fun. I'm not some maniac with a gun.
