To: Everyone

When I was only fifteen my closest friend learned the importance of manners. At present I respect him too much to repeat the tale. Though the shock taught him well, I hardly think I can claim credit for his education. He learned all by himself that his lesson was a simple one: if you intrude on a private space, you cannot expect the individual to let things be.

Our realms within the Horizon are supposedly an expression of emotions and desires. How many worlds exist that are akin to an expression of one’s identity? To visit another’s sanctuary is an honour and a privilege. One that many abuse and squander by entering without permission.

For some, they are the closest place to home. How can one rest knowing their only source of shelter has been intruded upon by nothing more than common knaves and scoundrels?

This leads unto the question I have for all of you:

Have you people never learned to knock?

Indeed. Though I might well perish of shame from agreeing, some people are better left forgotten.

What, your world never had people in it that made it a worse place, like overall? Mine did. Lots of 'em, all through history. We only remember 'em because of how terrible they were, how much they wronged other people. Mankind would've been better off if they never existed, and we only talk about 'em now to make sure the things they did can never happen again.

If y'all never had anyone that evil, you're lucky as hell.

[leitstern]

Do you honestly imagine I have never experienced my share of evil? My kingdom weeps because one man became a monster. It is nothing but a cruel joke my fellow citizens believe him to be their hero and saviour. The best thing for evil is to be forgotten.

[princessvegas]

Then why would you "perish from shame" at thinking that?

[leitstern]

Oh, my little turn of phrase was the embarrassment and shame of agreeing with you. We got off to such a flying start, after all. Two different souls that we are.

[princessvegas]

Wow, can I call 'em or what?

[ TOTAL DICK. ]

Let's make it real simple, then. You go ahead and die. Sounds like you'll be doing all of Abraxas a favor if you find the most toxic-looking potion you can and just down it like a jello shot. You don't have to be shamed, I don't have to talk to you, no one else ever needs to deal with you. I'm what you call a problem-solver.

Deuces, asshole.
