[unhooking the button at the back of her neck. even in 1920s fashion harrow still wears like an undershirt as a bra so it's fine. anyway yeah it looks extremely horrible it's just a sword wound directly through her back that looks deep but also scabbed over and not actively bleeding.]
Does it look like it's healing properly? I was trying to repair it before I came here, but the process will unfortunately stop now.
[ sighing so, so deeply. but molly isn't exactly precious about looking at gorey wounds, and figures Harrow doesn't want him to be, so he just makes a very disapproving face of her carting around here with grevious injuries and then pulling a its just a flesh wound on him. he doesn't prod a finger into it, but he does gently touch it. ]
Doesn't look infected - what in the hells happened to you?
Indeed, the usual suspect. The Saint of Duty. It irritates me to no end - there truly was no reason for him to keep up the charade, but the man is unfathomably stubborn.
...Unfortunately, yes. Even he is capable of being bested, and as you know, these places hold a great amount of power.
But what I truly worry about is - well, even if he were killed, he might not stay killed, being God. But I'm given to understand that our system's star Dominicus is directly tied to his consciousness. So you see, even if he were to survive, there is a rather high chance of his undoing meaning the death of every person living planetside in the Nine Houses.
Right. Well, unfortunately it's a good argument. And even more unfortunately, I've put so much work into keep Beauregard alive already once that it feels ridiculous to even risk it this soon after. So I guess we're taking it seriously.
[wincing, but more like a sulky teen. she has a high pain threshold.]
You know what I mean. I cannot refuse this - it is the lives of my House that hang in the balance, and I owe too deep a debt. But are you prepared to face what may be asked? If not, you were a fool to come.

Well, yes, I guess I'd consider the whole kidnapping thing important. Erm-- who was it, for you? You mentioned a large number.

It is God.

Suppose my question is, he's a very powerful guy, God, and all. Do you really think this place has that sort of ... sway?

You do understand what may be asked of you? "Entertainment."
no subject
I'm very entertaining.

No offense, but the fact that you're here means I absolutely made the right decision. Someone has to keep you from doing some stupid horseshit.

Don't be stupid. I know what I'm doing.

[ CLEARLY. ]
So entertainment ... got to be more than just murder, right? I mean. That has to get boring some time.
