[like most others, he was thinking about the impending black hole. he had never spent much time reading about space and all its wonders. he was well aware that all the planets revolved around the sun, and stars were burning balls of gas. but the power of black holes? he hadn't a clue. they sucked things in, devoured them and then... well, Asher

What? [he's not looking straight at the sphere, eyes turned off towards the side. It's obvious from his surroundings he's not in the Enviro-Dome]

[marredgoldfinch]

I... have a favor to ask.

[he's not looking directly at the sphere either, hating even having to ask]

[arches his brows, but still doesn't turn]

Well?

[marredgoldfinch]

I want you to kill me.

[eyes slowly flick over; he looks almost.. amused]

Wanna beat all of us to the finish line?

filtered;

[marredgoldfinch]

There's no guarantee that it would kill me. Even if it breaks all my bones, I will live... and I will suffer alone.

[a skeptical look; someone surviving a black hole?]

So you want me to finish the job beforehand.

filtered;

[marredgoldfinch]

That is what I'm asking, yes.

filtered;

[conniving_flame]

Heh.

[a moment's pause, and then:]

If it's what you want.

[marredgoldfinch]

[he looks a bit surprised]

... you'll do it?

filtered;

[conniving_flame]

It's not like I haven't killed a friend before.

You could even say I've had practice.

filtered;

[marredgoldfinch]

I'd ask, but I have a feeling you don't want to talk about it.

filtered;

[conniving_flame]

Nothing gets past you, Ash.

[but back to business]

You got anything to wrap up before the finale? Will and testament?

filtered;

[marredgoldfinch]

That's the problem I'm trying to overcome. Do I bother to say my goodbyes? Or do I just have you kill me, and to hell with it?

filtered;

[conniving_flame]

[shrugs]

Your call.

If it makes it easier, they won't have long to miss you anyway.

filtered;

[marredgoldfinch]

That's true.

I suppose... I will give it a day or two. Just to see if I find it worthwhile. Not like anyone is going to miss me.

[a little shrug of his own. a bit pessimistic, but the vampire doesn't feel friendly towards anyone... minus his soon-to-be-murderer]
