[ Ellie is silent for a moment, before sighing. ]

I give this place about twenty points just for not being too high on the bullshit meter.

And I get there's a price for making wishes, but still?

Here's the bullshit: I've got something to celebrate, and from what I've gathered in those "days of old" stories before the world ended? You get a cake when you've got something to party about. I already spent a wish on a pizza party, and since I'm basically trained to not trust anything, I won't let myself go any further.

So.

Baking. How does one accomplish it, and where the fuck does one start?

See, I don't get this boogeyman thing. If you're gonna kill children, then go fucking kill children.

All I'm getting out of this conversation is you're angry no one believes in you, but are surprised when mommy and daddy tell a kid they're just imagining things when he's scared because you purposefully scared them.

Not earning any sympathy here, man.

Why the fixation on killing? I don't kill mortals. I never claimed to kill mortals.

Parents shouldn't lie to their kids, and they shouldn't coddle them and hide them from the scary things in the world.

Ah, well, hey, something we both agree on there.

No point in sugar-coating shit. The world sucks and the only way to make it is to not trust anyone or anything.

[fearbringer]

Then you should be able to understand my frustration.

[dictated]

[nohalfway]

Yeah, I get ya. Especially when it decides whether or not people can fucking see you.

That really sucks.

[dictated]

[fearbringer]

It does. I'm not fishing for sympathy, but it certainly does.

And it's why I like this place.

[dictated]

[nohalfway]

Well, I'm not giving you sympathy or anything, but it makes you seem like less of a douchebag.

But uh, yeah, if it helps? Totally believe in you, dude.

[dictated]

[fearbringer]

And that's all I'm asking.
