What makes you vulnerable and invulnerable, and why?

[ranuccio]

I'd like to answer that life makes you vulnerable, since the day you were borne, your fate in the hands of others, if you're poor or rich, orphan or loved, noble or gutter scum...and dying is the only cure for that...only, there's more than one way of dying. If a slashed throat it's not enough, then you can try dying inside

Yeah, c'n say that again. Y' just become another of the 'walkin' dead'. Easier t' be invulnerable when there's nothing there to be hurt any more.

[ranuccio]

Yeah, even though it doesn't really work at the end. Still...*shrugs*

How are things?

[stormybrendan]

Things... are.

How've you been doin'?

[ranuccio]

'm fine. Just been bought. it's..this guy..he's ..intriguing.

[stormybrendan]

Yeah? How?

[ranuccio]

Don't know yet. We just met once, and just had a chat. Wasn't expecting him turning up at all, to be honest.

[stormybrendan]

So y' know him? From before?

[ranuccio]

AS I said, not really. He showed me a painting he has, and we talked about that, mostly.

But it's good. Takes my mind off the other stuff you and I talked about.

[stormybrendan]

That's good.

*looks at Ran*

Y' seen him at all?

[ranuccio]

...just a couple of conversations. Not really good ones..it's as if we don't know each other anymore.

Something broken, you know?

[stormybrendan]

Yeah, sometimes goes like that, and it c'n be hard to just let it go... y' want so bad for how it was when it was good.

[stormybrendan]

*half raises hand*

Well, might see y' round. Hope it works out for y' with this new bloke.
