Have you had enough of vampires yet, Nexus? Really?

Good, because here is yet again Harvestman, carting a brand new bottle of whiskey in one hand and a full carton of smokes in the other, and he had yet another question for you all.

"Alright, let's say you get one chance to do the stupidest thing you could think of, and get away with it consequence

Roy considers this for a moment. And then he considers it another moment. And then he says, slowly, thoughtfully, "Kiss Major General Armstrong."

[fireburned]

"Sounds worth the effort," Harvestman replied, amused. "Can't do it any other way, huh?"

[whofavorfire]

Roy laughs. "I could, but then she'd consider it proof that I'm unfit for survival. And believe me, you do not want Briggs' Northern Cliff deciding you're unfit for survival."

[fireburned]

"Too damn bad. That's a lotta effort to go through just for one little kiss." Harvestman lifted the bottle again, half shrugging. "And a lot of liquid courage to go with it."

Pharaun grins slightly. He's done things that most people would certainly consider suicidally stupid - like, say, attempt to feed Quenthel to an aboleth - but at least he still has consequences.

"Slap the Spider Queen in the face."

[fireburned]

His eyebrows went up, but the only thing his voice conveyed was surprise.

"I wouldn't be going around slapping anything called the Spider Queen in the face, consequences or no consequences."

[berranyrmizzrym]

"Oh, trust me, she and her priestesses have caused me enough trouble that it's well worth it." Not the least of which was, you know, getting him killed.

[fireburned]

"People with names that refer to spiders generally come with trouble. And teeth.

So says the harvestman.

Illyria tilts her head to one side. The corners of her lips tug upwards; is she actually considering to answer such a question?

"I will raise my army from the dust in which they slumber," she answers, finally. "Does this satisfy you, vampire?"

[fireburned]

"Fucking shit!"

- Is the response she'll get, as Harvestman physically recoiled away from her, pulling his limbs in close. He didn't screw around with things like her.

"It's great," he added, flatly, as the memory of the anti-violence field kicked in. It wasn't much comfort, but it was something.

[revivedqueen]

"You know of me," she says. Amusing.

Annoying.

[fireburned]

"No, but I ain't fucking stupid."

Then again, maybe admitting that much was a mistake. Whatever it took to make her go away and lose interest in him, really.

Fish likes how you roll, Mr. H.

"I would grab a police officer's gun." He hardly needed a moment to think about that one. Perhaps it's been on his mind lately. "I mean, it's...they're always right there, waiting to be grabbed. I'd totally do it."

[fireburned]

"Oh. Tempting." It seems that Harvestman can relate to this one a little too well. Perhaps he is secretly five fifteen.

You know. In spirit.

"I think it's a trap, though. Why the hell would they make it so obvious if it wasn't? They're just waiting for someone to try it."

[thelivingend]

"Yeah, maybe...it could be like a Darwin Awards qualifier. That and resisting swerving into oncoming traffic, suddenly." Cue shifty eyes. "Not that I have ever felt the urge to do that. Of course." Of course.

[fireburned]

"On the scale of one to ten of the 'this could really fucking kill me' chart, I think oncoming traffic ranks higher." Harvestman still sounded amused (or, at least, entertained).

"But the dumber you know it is, the more tempting it seems to be."

[campjesus]

"Well... seriously? About a metric fuckton of E."

Brody has easily achievable dreams.

[fireburned]

"Wonder how long that ride would last if you didn't run the risk of overdosing."

Prime example of responsibility: this conversation.

[campjesus]

"Well, you said consequence-free... and the last time I saw someone have a really bad reaction they'd done, um, twelve at once. Like a dumbass."

Brody is the best at being responsible, he's a teenager.

[fireburned]

Harvestman, as a responsible adult, probably should know better.

Right.

"If you're going to do something dumb, why not enjoy it?"
