Godslaying?

[runstowardsfire]

. . . It was sort of traditional?

[oooden]

Sounds pretty intense.

[runstowardsfire]

It was, sort of--I mean the summer is supposed to kill the winter metaphorically but it went more literally that time . . .

[oooden]

Huh.

[ interestiiinngg ]

How'd it happen?

[runstowardsfire]

. . . I got into the wrong place at the right time and sort of became the avatar of summer.

[Hmm, what does your list say?]

That sounds like the best twist of fate, really.

[runstowardsfire]

. . . No, it really wasn't.

Unless you want the spirit of winter as your stalker.

[Gosh, aren't you the trustworthy one?]

[oooden]

Oh, gross. So what'd you do?

[ hey it was for money! ]

[runstowardsfire]

Resist his advances until he really pushed it and I had to kill him.

[That doesn't make it any better . . .]

[oooden]

Oh geez, that sounds terrible.

[runstowardsfire]

[Well yes--I had to rescue the lambs and my younger brother again too]

It was sort of the right thing to do, but it's hard to kill something that looks human even though it's not.

[oooden]

Understandable. A friend of mine has that same problem.

[runstowardsfire]

What did your friend have to do?

[oooden]

Well, a person was possessed by a monster and while it would be easier to kill both quickly -- he still did his best to separate the two to kill the monster.

[runstowardsfire]

. . . That would be the ideal scenario, of course.

[This is familiar in several ways.]
