Biggs says I've been missing for a few days.  It didn't feel like that long, but going by the other journals, this sort of thing has happened before

There is nothing to tell, good sir. I suggest you consider the same.

[desig_survivor]

I beg to differ.

[hisbutler_bound]

Unfortunately, but it would be rather troublesome for me, if you opened your mouth... good sir.

[desig_survivor]

Threats already? And here I thought you had some veneer of class.

I am not an idiot. Do you think I've spent all of my time since then hiding and writing? If you kill me, everyone will know. If you kill my friends, everyone will know.

[hisbutler_bound]

I said, it would be rather troublesome for me, if you were to open your mouth. Not once, have I threatened you. Good sir.

Though, if I were to kill you, I would make sure it was clean. I wouldn't do it in a situation where you would be found. There is plenty of things wanting a free meal on a few scarce islands.

[desig_survivor]

Of course you haven't. And of course I don't read between the lines.

You're insulting me. Do you think my plan is just "they find Rogue's mutilated corpse and remember that he was talking about Black?"

[hisbutler_bound]

Of course not, good sir. I am not a... murderer. Obviously there should be a reason for their deaths.

My apologizes. It was not my intention. I certainly hope not. It wouldn't be much of a challenge.

[desig_survivor]

Yes, because when there's a "reason", it's not really murder, is it? Maybe they were ugly. Maybe they called you names. Or oh! Maybe they fought back because they didn't want to be killed!

Go ahead. Prove all my suspicions right. Prove that you're a psychopath with no regard for the safety of others.

Rogue, I don't know what you saw, or what you thought you saw, but is it really a good idea to go about antagonizing the man you warned me about?

Talking about secrets--any secrets--is the fastest way to get killed around here. Keep it off the journals.

[desig_survivor]

If he kills me, everyone will know - even if this entire page gets covered over, even if no one else had seen it. Better me than someone who doesn't know.

...but I did get carried away. Only fools bait a rancor.

[hisbutler_bound]

Good, I'm glad your very O so complex mind is catching on. Ah, how rude of me. Pardon my words, good sir.

Ah, but I am merely...

..a butler. One hell of a butler.

[desig_survivor]

I know you're an assassin and proud of it. You don't need to remind me.

[hisbutler_bound]

I am no assassin, Mister Rogue. Nor am I proud of what I've done. Though somewhat curious, not proud.

[stonyfaced]

Black, I have no idea who you are, and I don't care to know. However, proclamations that you are not a murderer of the meaningful pause variety is hardly trustworthy, and I'll thank you not to speak of the better ways of killing another citizen subtly on a public forum. Or at all.

And Rogue, I know you haven't been here long, but here's one rule. A person's past is their past. We don't posses the full story and nor do they, and that sort of thing isn't the sort of thing you ought to be divulging over the journals.

[hisbutler_bound]

Oh, my apologizes, good sir or madame. I seem to have gotten a little carried away. Make no mistake, it won't happen again over the journals. I have no intention of murdering anyone even with what was seen or not seen.

Unfortunate. But my past is my own, Mister Rogue. I prefer to keep it to myself.

[stonyfaced]

That'll be sir. The name's Stoneface.

If I didn't know better, I'd think that you deliberately misread me. Threats aren't something I want to see, on or off-journal, and I certainly do not wish to find Rogue, nor anybody else, mysteriously missing on some far off island as you had deliberated above. Do we understand one another?
