Has anyone here killed another person before?

[A voice answers quiet and succinct...]

Yes.

[desolavi]

... you don't sound very sure about it.

[strike_you_out]

I am.

[desolavi]

Why did you do it?

[strike_you_out]

They wanted a way out.

[desolavi]

You ... killed someone suicidal?

[strike_you_out]

Yes.

Several.

[desolavi]

[ maybe this kid is bullshitting. ]

You don't sound any older than me ...

[strike_you_out]

[If only there was a way to shrug over the phone...]

So?

[desolavi]

Seems kinda unlikely you'd get away with it for multiple cases.

[strike_you_out]

[Was that a twisted giggle?]

They tried to catch me...

[implying that it failed]

[desolavi]

[ ... faint rustling noises and he scratches cheek. ]

Was it fun?

[strike_you_out]

... Yes.

[Not always.]

[desolavi]

Nn. [ a moment of thought. ]

Do you wanna keep doing it here?

[strike_you_out]

[...Stop making him think.]

As long as there's a need.

[desolavi]

So -- if you hear about anyone suicidal, you're gonna go knock them off?
