Hey folks. PSA for you. Name's Lup, I own Affurgato. Congrats to those who've already met my fabulous self.

As a heads up: I'm a lich. Other terms include: undead, corpse-walker, monster, abomination. Someone screamed "The Raven's Misfortune" at me once and I thought that was delightfully poetic.

If you have a problem with this, you can eat my entire ass. If you want to BRING your problem to me, I'll be happy to set YOUR ass on fire.

Now, are there any deeply personal details I ought to know about you in order for us to be friends? Apparently I have trust issues and aren't accustomed to mortal cultural norms.

that's all, have a great day or whatever

Not especially, no. I'm still me; lich or not, what I became didn't change who I am. All it changed is how much power I have to protect what matters to me.

Plus I liked the whole not-dying-when-killed part.

[ She's got magic. She's got years experience hopping from world to world. She's got an ability and form to outmaneuver a permanent demise.

Yes, she definitely has a lot with how to protect what matters to her. ]

Cheating death is in your arsenal, but yeah. You got to do what you have to to protect others.

I can't fault you for that.

Good, because I won't accept fault on a wrong for which I've no regret.

I do appreciate the olive branch, though. Often it's hard to find the patience to explain myself, particularly to strangers, so I can get a little snippy about it, I won't deny that.

[ And they are, indeed, still strangers. It says something to her personality for being so forthcoming, though. Maybe she was hurt by someone, to have made this post. Maybe she had accidentally hurt someone else.

But she's taking steps so that it doesn't happen again. ]

You're not hurting anyone. So you won't find any trouble from me.

[ Not that he could do anything about that. He's powerless here. And even if he did have any power, it's likely it wouldn't be enough. ] Besides, not like there's a whole lot of us in Havenwell. Everyone's gotta get along and hold hands. The whole deal.

Are you offering to hold my hand, Nyx Ulric?

[nyxly]

[ Everyone's gotta do their part. ]

Dunno. Lich-ness isn't contagious, is it?

[ A J O K E. But thank goodness this is text because if he spoke this in his current mood, it wouldn't sound half as wry. Still, he's trying. ]

[necromanswers]

[Look at him try! She can play, sure.]

If it is, it hasn't spread a single inch in over a hundred years, so you're pretty safe.

[nyxly]

[ The definition of trying.

Also, done deal. ]

Count me in. You have my number.
