[alienation]

You continue to be so full of surprises.

[markofkaine]

yeah it's a real assortment of powers i've got

[alienation]

Undoubtedly. I wonder what you will shake me with next.

[markofkaine]

hopefully i won't have to brand anyone with my hands

[alienation]

[ ]

What exactly would require your hand branding?

[markofkaine]

oh you know

back in the day i did it to scum
pressed my searing hot palm to their face so they would die with my mark on them
as a warning

i called it the mark of kaine

[alienation]

You are by far the most dramatic man I have ever been gifted to meet.

[markofkaine]

you have to send a message for people to take you seriously

...but i may not have been all there in the head at the time

[alienation]

The degradation, was it?

[markofkaine]

yes.

[alienation]

[ The message takes a moment because he's suddenly wondering if Kaine has ever looked at his profile. ]

Well, you are certainly not wrong about how to send a message, this much is true.

[markofkaine]

[are you kidding kaine only does the bare minimum of touching technology]

you can say it. i was a psycho

you just got an alliance with the most unhinged group locked up in here

[alienation]

[ please don't sear my face when you see "mass murderer" then you could have looked ANY TIME!!!!!!!! ]

There is no issue. I am actually quite happy to have you on my side.

[markofkaine]

[tbf i also killed a lot of people]

it usually is better to have the psychos on your side
instead of against

well. unless they're the backstabbing kind

[alienation]

Do you count yourself among the backstabbing lunatics now?

[markofkaine]

no, but i have been in maximum security prison before

there's a lot of backstabbing lunatics, usually

[alienation]

Prison, hm? I will just have to take a chance on all of you, then.

[markofkaine]

pretty bold of you considering all the cannibalism

[alienation]

That is but one thing I've been repeatedly called throughout my life.

[markofkaine]

as a soft way of calling you insane i bet
defying convention gets that kind of reception

[alienation]

It's that exactly. I was exiled, but I was still the prince, so calling me a lunatic to my face would have been unwise.

[markofkaine]

sounds like a pain in the ass

but i don't want you to catch flak for vouching for a bunch of psychos
when any normal team would consider us a threat

[alienation]

Thank you for your consideration, but I've managed this far, so there's naught to worry about.

[markofkaine]

you trust what's his face, your leader with the shades?

[alienation]

As much as someone can trust another after only knowing them a short time, I suppose. It's possible he may yet surprise me still.

[ furi: absolutely not. he trusts no man but that's his default. ]
