dear_mun | Canon is most certainly Dishonored.

You would rather return to Dunwall?

[Of course...]

You return to Dunwall, Corvo. [He wants to go to back to his Void without getting pulled around in places like this! >:(]

Or are you happy here, without Emily, without trying to fix what happened? Ha ha. Do you think the Empress will be here waiting for you?

If it were within my power, I would. My duty aside, there is no happiness in this confinement. I will not say I miss Dunwall, but there is nothing for me here.

[A moment of silence. He's just watching you through his mask, Outsider.]

With such a vast array of individuals here, one would assume you would find at least one of them interesting.

I offer plenty of people my power, Corvo. I'd rather keep my eyes on you for now. [Until you start boring him to death, and then he will just find someone new to pester.] I know you won't disappoint.

It'll be interesting to see how you fare in this place.

I will survive the same as always, until my mundane sees fit to return me.

[. . .]

Though I fear that will not be happening in the near future. It would seem she has plans, though tentative they may be. [He was never one to take chances.]

[He crosses his arms. Stupid muns. He's the only one who should be playing chess with people.] You take my powers and go somewhere else.

[He doesn't know whether to be insulted or intrigued; it's a turn of events, but he's not the mastermind behind it, which is irritating.] What will you get up to there, I wonder? If you find others like the Pendletons? High Overseer Campbell?

It would depend on the nature of their presence. I have seen, endured much, but do not think that I have forgotten the late Empress' will- [It's easier to simply call her that.] -and the wisdom she imparted upon her people. Myself inclusive.

[So says Low Chaos Corvo. Sorry Outsider, not gonna be killing people left right and center.]

[It would be a pity, but that's just what keeps Corvo so interesting to him: all the merciless power, yet he spares so many the brutal death they may deserve.] Ah, the former Lord Protector speaks.

But would he be so casual knowing Emily is left in Dunwall with the crooked, visited in her dreams by a man with black eyes?

[OH NO YOU DI'INT.

His tone is low, dangerous. If this is a ruse designed to simply incite a reaction out of him, congratulations Outsider, it worked.]

You will visit her no more. She has seen and heard enough without you whispering absurdities into her ear.

[Just as planned! He is quite fond of getting under Corvo's skin from time to time.] I visit those I find interesting. [But who believes them? There's plenty of madmen who have claimed to have seen him.]

And if you're not in Dunwall, who is she to rely on? Maybe she will need some powers of her own, Corvo. To survive.

You will do no such thing, Outsider. Even without my aid, the Loyalists will prevail. They have the tenacity for that much.

[It's what he wants to believe, being stuck here and all.]

[Ah, the Loyalists. Isn't it terrible he knows everything, but doesn't say a word? But it's so much more amusing to watch Corvo bumble around for them without being aware of the motives. That's the best thing about Corvo. Framed and then used.] They do have tenacity. That much is true.

But do you have the tenacity to do what needs to be done to return to Dunwall? You have so much work ahead of you, Corvo.

[It's like you said, Outsider, there's always a little more innocence left to lose. Just make sure to tell him none of their real plans.]

I may have been given my title as Lord Protector, but even you would do well to not underestimate my abilities. Even the ones you gave me yourself.

[He isn't usually this mouthy, but he's being pushed, okay. >:I]

[So sassy! Who do you think you're talking to, mister?] Don't bore me with that drivel, Corvo.

I gave you those powers, and I can take them away... or I can make you miserable with them. [How would you like to be trapped in the Void for all eternity?! >:|] Bad things happen to people who get arrogant.

[Both are losing their tempers, wowow. Being trapped in the Void definitely doesn't sound fun, but just let him say one more thing.]

But did you not provide me these abilities so that you may witness what I may do with them? I was under the impression you merely observed.

[With your whale popcorn in one ~~fin~~ hand.]

[DO NOT POINT OUT THE OBVIOUS, OKAY, CORVO. He will take zero sassing from you today!] Oh, I never interfere. That doesn't mean no one wants you dead, Corvo. [Like the overseers, those filthy assholes.]

All humans need is a little push to send them on a spiral into chaos.

[HE DOESN'T EVEN NORMALLY SASS. He's actually a very pleasant guy to be around, if not quiet, you're just being a jerk, Outsider.]

Is this what you thought when you watched Daud from afar, knowing his actions would ultimately bring misery upon our capital?

[And then a shake of his head.]

Perhaps it is meaningless to argue what's already been done.

[Damn right. That's what you all get for hunting and butchering whales. >:(] Who is to say it wouldn't have happened regardless?

Who is to say misery wasn't already upon Dunwall from the start?

[Don't be so bitter. 8(]

No, I am certain that in time, the Empress would have found a solution to the rat plague. Dunwall would have flourished under her rule.

[She was perfect, best Empress.]

Edited 2013-09-15 02:36 (UTC)

[Oh ho ho, little did you know, Corvo, that perhaps this god right here had a little finger waggling in the rat plague situation.

Maybe.

THAT IS WHAT YOU GET FOR HUNTING WHALES, DAMMIT.] You have entirely too much faith in others, don't you, Corvo?

[NOT LIKE CORVO WAS OUT ON THOSE SHIPS HUNTING THEM THO..]

I believe [Or should that be in past tense?] in the Empress' will. In the Loyalists. In Emily's strength.

[He did teach her a thing or two about dealing with unsavoury folk, after all.]

Lashing out at others will solve nothing.

[Oh, Corvo, you're still amusing him with your sad, can't-really-help-it unknowing.

The Loyalist. He laughs, but to Corvo, it will probably seem sporadic in placement.] Just remember how much power you actually have, Corvo. How many people can you count that really believes in justice?

You may not be changing men's fates. You may be their fate.

[Through that mask, he's squinting at you, Outsider.]

What are you implying? That there are some not to be trusted? [Because that much he already knows... about the general populace anyway. It really is laughable that he trusts the Loyalists so blindly.]

[Really, Corvo. You are going to stand there and ask him that after the whole Empress execution, you being framed for it, and then your escape from Coldridge Prison.

This is why you are so wonderful to play with.] Can you look me in the face and say with certainty that there are some that can be trusted?

Canon is most certainly Dishonored.

You are most certainly wonderful
