[lifeban]

Why are you like this?

[eggshell]

My little darling successor. I want you.

[lifeban]

You've haunted my nightmares all my life. Whatever you think you want, I'm not interested.

[tries to block him

why the fuck can he not block him,]

[eggshell]

Come now, surely if the succession still worked, I would not be that terrible of a dreamwalker.

[lifeban]

It didn't.

[eggshell]

Well how are you here then.

[there’s that faint sinking feeling, after meeting bailu…]

[lifeban]

[there is a like.

five minute pause.]

Were you imprisoned?

[eggshell]

Never.

[lifeban]

He was.

I was too.

He was sentenced to molting rebirth.

I'm not the High Elder.

[eggshell]

Do not lie to me. Molting rebirth should have ended the succession; by definition it will have cleansed my reincarnation of all past transgressions.

[lifeban]

You think I don't know that? Something went wrong. Or they hated him that much.

I grew up in chains. Don't accuse me of lying about it.

[eggshell]

The abject suffering just makes me want you more.

[there is a long pause here between messages that suggest things and none of those things are Great.]

And the Preceptors did loathe me that much, perhaps. I killed all of mine with Cloud-Piercer.

Which you should also have. Do you?

[lifeban]

What do you even mean by that? You don't want me. You don't know me.

[oh he does Not like the pause. hunkers even more miserably under his blanket.]

Not here.

Are you sure the bracers are real? Mine isn't here either.

[eggshell]

How can I not covet what is mine already? All the High Elders belong to each other.

I am .. not sure. The magic woven into them is gone. For all intents and purposes, they are costume jewelry. Yet I do not wish to be parted from the last thing I have of my beloved.

[lifeban]

I'm not High Elder. I don't understand what you want.

I am sorry. If I damaged it.

[eggshell]

If you were born from my egg, wear my face, possess my blood: you are one of us.

[he’s already planning out which houses to check out later <3]

Really? Should it not bring you joy to cause me pain?

[lifeban]

Those things have only ever brought me suffering. It doesn't make me happy to read that.

Similarly, I don't enjoy hurting people. I'm not you.

[eggshell]

Did you labor under the delusion that Imbibitor Lunae could ever be happy?

Come now, we’ve only met for a few scant moments. Do you think I enjoyed slaughtering every living soul on the Xianzhou Luofu?

[lifeban]

I've never had the opportunity to believe something like happiness was an option for me. I think you're quick to bring up who you've killed. You're quick to lay claim to me, but I am not Imbibitor Lunae, and given your behavior I'm not inclined to accept any connection to you at all.
