Fine.

You've all thought about it, even if you haven't said it: if you could kill anyone, or order anyone killed, from your world or here, who would it be?

If you feel like answering a bonus question, why? Unless you're extraordinarily brave, I expect your answer privately. No judgment.

[A moment of silence, then a brief chuckle from her end.] Is that so? And here I was thinking he could've made any overbearing control freak in my universe look like a zoned-out deadbeat. It's rare I see that type of discipline.

If you can't eradicate him, is there any possibility you can neutralize him? And I don't necessarily mean kill.

What do you mean cut yourself out of it?

Oh, I rewrote me own past without 'em in it. I'm from an alternate universe now. Too many friends on this side for it to take all the way, mind; quantum resonance strings don't cut as easy as pure 'istory. Then again, it means me friends still remember me, even if they don't all remember where from; I'd've 'ated to lose 'em.

I'm thinkin' on it. Graduating 'im might do the trick. I'll swallow me grudge if that 'appens.

Blindness by science aside, I think that makes sense. Better to be a memory and a surprise visitor than only a memory, or not even that.

Here's hoping? Although between you and I, that wouldn't be as viscerally satisfying.

Re: [private]

[routemistress]

No, but I've swallowed worse things than grudges before now an' come up laughing. I'll cope.

[deadliestviper]

If he doesn't shape up, though, good luck.
