6th Spell [Audio]

[taintedtalent]

Ya know, there are times I wish I could drink without it killing me. This would be one of them.

[This is the most melancholy Reese has ever sounded. After months he's still here, and the feeling that he might not actually get out of this one is beginning to creep up on him. More than that, more than any of that, he's lonely.]

Gettin' fuckin' tired of milk.

Comments

[yolonceler]

[Wow.]

Wow.

[That's intense.]

That's intense.

[... KILL CRIMINALS OH NO ONCIE IS SOOO GONNA DIE]

What sorta criminals?

[taintedtalent]

Killers, rapists, drug dealers, all the bastards that the law can't catch.

[yolonceler]

[What about super rich guys that own the law?]

That's a hundred times more intense than I previously thought.

[taintedtalent]

[Yeah he's killed a few of those too.]

Texas is a pretty intense place.

[yolonceler]

[Well fuck. Reese is suddenly high on his list of "people that should literally never ever know who I am".]

Yeah, no offense, but Texas is pretty much terrifying.

[taintedtalent]

It can definitely be a rough place.

[yolonceler]

Can be? How about is scary as heck all day every day?

[taintedtalent]

Just cause I've only told ya about the side I get to see. There's another side to it that's...

[He trails off, thinking about how he wants to put this.]

Let's just say that while it's got some bad to it, there's no other place I'd rather live.

[yolonceler]

[He doesn't know the feeling.]

That's more than a lot of people can say about their home.

[taintedtalent]

Ya think so? Sounds like a lot of people want to go home to me.

[yolonceler]

Before all the Keep shenanigans, I mean. People complain about their city, their state, their country, their family, their job, their friends. Their everything. That you've got a place you actually want to be is pretty unheard of.

[In his opinion, anyway.]

[taintedtalent]

Only the folks that hate their life.

[He's no shrink, but he's still a sharp guy.]

[yolonceler]

[Pause.]

Lots of people hate their life.

[taintedtalent]

That's their fault then.

[Blunt thy name is Reese.]

[yolonceler]

[WOW THANKS]

Truer words were never spoken.

[taintedtalent]

That's why I said them.

[yolonceler]

Are you sure you shouldn't be a philosopher instead of a vigilante?

[taintedtalent]

And stop throwin' lightnin' at people? Yer crazt Once-ler.

[yolonceler]

You can throw lightning?

[CONVERSATION COMPLETELY DERAILED]

[taintedtalent]

I can do a lot of things.

[Or he could.]

[yolonceler]

Things like what?

[taintedtalent]

Change the weather, create a duststorm, make rocks look like gold, and the like.

[yolonceler]

Thaaat iiis sooo cool! [HE IS FRIENDS WITH A WIZARD] What are you?

[taintedtalent]

I'm a wizard.

[yolonceler]

[... The Once-ler was not actually expecting that to be the case.]

That's awesome. Can you do wizardly stuff? Like turn people into frogs? Or is that exclusive to witches.
