[ Hellboy winces at that. The way Anduin had handled it had been what he'd described as a kinder way, but it hadn't exactly been good either. ]

glad to hear it

you did the right thing
it was pretty impressive magic

[chrisisofaith]

[He relaxes a little at that. This would be fine, not like the last person who'd turned on him here.]

I'm a death cleric back home, i deal in dark magic and some healing.

is it rude if I ask why you have one stone hand? was it petrified?

you've no need to answer if you don't want to

[redrighthanded]

death cleric? is that like a necromancer?

nah that's not rude
I prefer it if people are up front about it

it's kinda the key to ending the world
long story
I have to look after it

[chrisisofaith]

kinda? they can be. I'm not, prefer to keep my raising to those who die too early than to use corpses or ghosts. clerics serve gods in my realm, mine's the goddess of death, so death cleric.

that does sound like a long story. one I wouldn't mind hearing, but with definitively more alcohol.

what do you do when you aren't a key-keeper?

[redrighthanded]

right
I've met a few necromancers, they're usually kinda weird
you seem okay though

paranormal investigator
though I'm sorta freelance right now
usually dealing with whatever those guys who like messing with corpses and ghosts dig up

[chrisisofaith]

there aren't many in my home region, but that seems right. Figure you've got to be weird to want to play with zombies.

you hunt ghosts and demons and like? Explains the river ghost.
that's fun and not too different from what I do, though I tend to go for those aiming to hurt rather than keep their own.

are you going to try and do that here too? You might talk to Jon Sims, he's into that.

[redrighthanded]

dunno
usually I don't hunt them, I just try to stop them pissing anyone else off
some guys just can't stay out of trouble

guess the death magic explains the scythe, is that a requirement of the job or what?

[chrisisofaith]

isn't that the damn truth?
and then you end up saving some of them and they stick around after. it's a whole deal.

No, it's not a requirement. the real secret? i liked the look. that's all. only requirement is the faith and probably the rhetoric.

do you fight with the stone fist in the arena?

[redrighthanded]

exactly! it's a whole thing

so you worship death? that's got to be an interesting gig

not usually
too easy to hurt someone that way

[chrisisofaith]

I worship a death god, the death and dying itself is more of a 'rules of the plane/make sure it does as it's meant to sort of deal i think

i've not been bored, so i guess there's that

probably for the best, just want to know what to prepare for next time we're throwing blows. no stone hand for you, no magic for me.

[redrighthanded]

you're really that eager to get into it again?
would have thought you'd have had enough of the sight of me
wouldn't blame you for not wanting to do that again

[chrisisofaith]

well you're wrong

1. i like a good challenge, and nothing you did to me couldn't be fixed
2. you seem a good person and i hate to lose one of those to city fuckery
3. you could always kiss it make it better, wouldn't say no it it

[redrighthanded]

well, I can't exactly say turn down any of that, can I

lemme know next time you're headed to the Arena, I'm working there now so we can try some stuff out

[chrisisofaith]

i mean you could, but i'd be terribly disappointed.

will do, might be a bit, got some at-home stuff to settle, but i'll be in as soon as i can manage next.


Just so you know and it's clear:
I look forward to getting to know you better, nothing's been broken or cut off

[redrighthanded]

no worries, I'll look out for you

thanks kid
I really do appreciate that

gonna make damn sure it never happens again
