Extermination of Evil

[ex_fatalist246]

[Satoshi is holding a dagger. Specifically, Nathan's dagger. The powerful curse that ruled appears to have been made dormant by the seal he has placed on it.]

[Because he can tell Nathan likes alcohol, he will wait at the bar for him. So there you go, Plane: a tiny line-faced detective amongst bottles and bottles of alcohol with a very sharp, very threatening-looking dagger, going over some notes in his ever-present notebook.]

[Unfortunately, Satoshi isn't aware that the sealing hasn't gone exactly as planned. Oh well. He might work that one out later.]

That's a neat looking dagger, Hiwatari-kun! Is it yours?

[ex_fatalist246]

No. It belongs to someone here. I'm giving it back.

[endofruins.livejournal.com]

Oh my, and what would a guy like you need a big dagger like that for, hm?

[ex_fatalist246]

[What does that even mean? He can't bring himself to ask.] It appeared in my house. Something the Plane did.

[endofruins.livejournal.com]

Wow, that's really nice. It's super sweet that you carry it around with you now, too. Maybe one day I'll think of a gift you'll like enough that you'll carry it around with you everywhere, too.

[ex_fatalist246]

No, that's--[He is so startled by this statement that he doesn't even know what to say.] It's his. He wants it back. I had to be sure it was safe before I gave it back.

[endofruins.livejournal.com]

...his?

[ex_fatalist246]

The Plane took it from him and gave it to me without asking him.

[endofruins.livejournal.com]

That's pretty rude. Maybe they thought you'd take better care of it. You are a responsible kind of guy.

Does this he have a name?

[ex_fatalist246]

I assume so.

[endofruins.livejournal.com]

But you don't know it?

[ex_fatalist246]

[nods] He attacked me when we spoke.

[endofruins.livejournal.com]

Are you sure it's a good idea to give a guy like that a dagger? What if he tries to hurt you again?

[ex_fatalist246]

The dagger was cursed. He couldn't stop himself.

[endofruins.livejournal.com]

If it's cursed, wouldn't it be a better idea to destroy it?

[ex_fatalist246]

I tried. I couldn't. Sealing was all I could do.

[endofruins.livejournal.com]

What does sealing do?

[ex_fatalist246]

It means the curse still exists, but it can't activate. It sleeps.

[endofruins.livejournal.com]

Oh.

That means a curse is alive, right?

[ex_fatalist246]

Some of them. They don't all work the same way.

[endofruins.livejournal.com]

Is there a way to make a curse better without deactivating it.

[ex_fatalist246]

[He pauses for a moment.] It's not like you or a more advanced curse. This curse was a subroutine. It wasn't alive.

[endofruins.livejournal.com]

And you're sure about that?

[ex_fatalist246]

[Another nod.] I can tell the difference.

[endofruins.livejournal.com]

Okay! You wouldn't lie about something like that! Right?
