[Ray is very obviously in the wastes, sitting on a rock, with a small pile of dead wildlife (mostly killer rabbits) at his feet. He doesn't say anything for a long moment, just picks up one of the rabbits, and begins skinning it with practiced ease. The observant may notice he doesn't look like he slept last night. Finally, he says quietly,They

[Fellow French assassin, have a very tired-sounding voice come over the PCD]

Only 3 people? Ch. The average death toll here is in the hundreds per person, I think. You think too highly of yourself.

[Voice]

[walkingtheweb]

The three I mentioned in particular are hardly the only I've killed.

And it is one thing to kill in battle, or in defense, or even in rage. I have been told it is something else entirely to do so in cold blood.

And besides, I am merely mortal, unlike many here.

[Voice]

[supermistfrog]

Ah, but it's more annoying when people when people start giggling or screaming over it. Being unemotional really is the best way to go.

That's still not really a good excuse.

[He gives a short bark of laughter.]

You and Silver would get along well.

What, that I'm mortal? It wasn't meant as an excuse, just a statement of fact.

[Hardly the subtlety required of an assassin, to announce it openly. Still, it lets him know such a person is potentially available - for the right price or the right reason or whatever it would take if Nakago were to decide to use Ray.]

You are brave to come forward.

[walkingtheweb]

It's not bravery. The information has been used against me once before here, I do not wish that to be so a second time.

[heartlesshin]

[That is different; a choice he'd likely make himself: forced into it, it may as well be on his terms. Recoup as much as possible from the loss.]

Prudent, then.

[walkingtheweb]

I always endeavor to be.

[She's a shinobi, that counts, since it is included in the job description yes.]

Yeah, well, it'd be pretty hard here anyhow.

[walkingtheweb]

Against some, yes. But there are always people who wish the death of others and are willing to pay a third party to avoid dirtying their hands.

I wish no part of that here.

People here are sheep. It's a small victory.

[Private]

[walkingtheweb]

Killer sheep, much like the rabbits. Except with more bleating.

Happy now?

[Private]

[population_ctrl]

No. In this round, I folded long before you.

[Private]

[walkingtheweb]

And here I thought you'd started a new hand with your little... discussion with your wife yesterday.

Congratulations. Join the club.

You miss the point.
