Tiresias Hades is not a particularly familiar face about this community, although anyone who has been here for some time might recognize him and anyone familiar with his rather infamous brood might at least notice some form of familial resemblance. Since his return from the dead and subsequent arrival in the community, he has made no real effort

I'd like to die in Phoebus' arms, but it is more likely now that I...that I will die by the hangman's rope or at the stake.

[aiming_blind]

Hmm. The most likely end is not always the one that we finally meet. *hope is not something he commonly attempts to foster but there are those occasions* And how would you hope to be remembered?

[gypsysorceress]

Maybe. Especially now that I'm here.

I would hope not to be remembered, except maybe as a hint in people's minds. If they remembered that they saw a dancer once, and she was good at it...that would be enough.

[aiming_blind]

Ah. Now there is something you have above many people - the willingness to be forgotten or at least not remembered by name. Admirable, really.

I prefer not to think about my death. It takes energy away from causing other people's. *yes, that is a smile and she is partly joking*

[aiming_blind]

*honest or joking, that is a statement he can appreciate* That was my basic opinion prior to being unconventionally executed. I suppose it still holds rather true.

[morgansorceress]

And did you suceed in causing those deaths? Was that the reason you were executed?

[aiming_blind]

Yes. To both. I'm afraid that very few people outside of my own family appreciated my practice in the art of death dealing.

*her attention is caught by the pistol (she has her own with her, in fact), but she stays to answer the question* Some glorious way. A pistol to my head, held by my own hand. Making some loud nice noise. I'd like little Thea Elvsted to be the one to find my body and I'd like her to faint. That would be amusing.

As for my eulogy, I don't quite care what Tesman thinks. He's so dull that his thoughts can't have much substance. I'd like Brack to remember me for the triangles, though.

Can I see your pistol?

[aiming_blind]

*he simply looks amused by the answer* I suppose, in a way, suicide is potentially a far more glorious death than some. I personally prefer the challenge of the escape, however inevitable the final end. Purposeful bodily placement, though, that is most definitely a worthy aspiration.

*he follows this by hefting the gun a bit* You can see but not touch. I'm afraid I'm rather neurotic where my guns are concerned, particularly this one. Not even my wife is allowed to touch it, save for when she buried it with me.

[hedda_t_gabler]

For me, if the end is inevitable, I'd far prefer the suicide. Taking control of it all yourself, you know? And the purposeful body placement can only be accomplished through suicide as well.

*she looks at it amiringly* It's a nice one. I can understand why you'd be so protective of it. And it's quite reasonable. There are few things I regret more than giving one of mine away. *there is more than one level to that statement*

[aiming_blind]

*he considers this with a nod* Thank you. I find that one of the few useful things I took from my childhood was the lesson in caution. When even your own family may willingly turn a weapon on you, there is no need to provide them with it.

"I don't know how I'd die," Aornis says, "but I hope mine wouldn't be the only body, by the time it was over." She smiles slightly. "Hello. Haven't seen you in a while."

[aiming_blind]

Tiresias chuckles at that and nods. "Good. It's always a bit depressing with the so-called protagonist outlives the villain." He leans back with a slight smile of his own. "Hello, love. How has my darling daughter been keeping herself?"

[also_ah]

"Your darling daughter," she replies, with something like a pout, "has been bored senseless."
