Yes.
I stated it clearly in my missive to you all.

I'm petty and cruel, and enjoy perceiving other people in pain. Is that not enough for you?

From:

failsaver

It's not. You were totally bullshitting. Just like you bullshitted about being an Angel.

From:

finalbows

I didn't bullshit about being an angel, I was made to fulfill the symbolic role of an angel, regardless of my actual divinity. And in that role, I can very much assure you I cultivated an appetite for harming others that is very much not "bull" "shit." Dissent against my choices wracked my flock, and I forced the matter. Carry the word wide, Weed, it's your blasted purpose.

Haha. You have no idea what my purpose is.

That's to say - nope! You're still bullshitting and sulking like a child because you feel guilty, don't you?

From:

finalbows

...

I don't sulk like a child. I sulk like an adult. I've never been a child, so I can't sulk like one.

Hey, hey, I know that tactic! You're dodging the point!!

From:

finalbows

Which some success, if I say so myself. You've hardly gotten anywhere in your misguided attempt at convincing me of your point, whatever it's meant to be. You shan't drive a divider between myself and my flock, either-- they remain, firmly, within the iron claws of my grip. You can't save them from me like that.

From:

failsaver

Y-you're doing it again! Painting yourself as the bad guy when nobody asked you to! Someone that truly had no remorse wouldn't act so despondent about it. A real bad guy would never have given a Weed like me the time of day when I upset your friend like that -- even by accident!

I brought him a hat. That's why I was looking for you.

From:

finalbows

Your qualifications for a bad guy are broken. Remorse doesn't cleanse one of sin. It encrusts them to it. ...Do you want to die here, Weed? I AM rusty. I need the practice at killing. If you'd rather not, then run along and find yourself a different rose.

From:

failsaver

Haha, just listen to yourself. "I'm rusty." "I need the practice at killing." If you enjoy the suffering of others so much, then why haven't you shed more blood since you got here?

And don't give me that crap about lying in wait for the right moment. If you were really waiting to see the looks on people's faces when they realized they'd been betrayed, you'd be a lot happier right now!

But you're not. You're not happy at all. You're just throwing empty words at me like a spark of light pretending to be an empty shell. You want to be the scapegoat because you think you're nothing more. You're the one driving a divider between yourself and your flock, not me.

See? Bullshit. You're not as heartless as you think you are.

From:

finalbows

_{[ angie's voice has been falling flatter and flatter through this conversation.]} You are falling for an illusion of what you find familiar, you wraith. A routine, practiced until it sits by rote. I have no heart. I am merely adapt at facsimile.

Allow me to give a hands-on example.

_{[ do you still feel afraid, splash?

you feel more. you feel more and more and more afraid. ]}
