Let's play a game, shall we?

[ He walks and talks with the open journal swishing by his side. ]

I'm looking for someone. Old acquaintances, we go back a long way, et cetera. We need to sort out a few things.

The game is I won't tell you who I'm looking for, but I will promise that I either won't kill them or they can't die anyway, and I don't mean in the castle-reboot kinda way. But you see-- [ He reaches the castle lobby and stops, chuckling sheepishly to himself. ] I'll maim and kill my way through some of you the longer I don't get what I want.

So get along and play fetch.

Oh, one more thing, you can call me Klaus.


[ ooc; journal or action. he will try to threaten/harm people in some way if action, so let me know how far you're ok with him going and I'll play along! ]

Do you think you're a good person?

dictated;

[ He chuckles, without sarcasm. ] Asking me that means you think you have an idea what goodness means.

dictated;

[signedlefthanded]

On the contrary. I know what I've done. I want to know your answer to the question.

dictated;

[precede]

What you really want to know is if I feel remorse for doing things you think is bad -- and the answer is no.

dictated;

[signedlefthanded]

Don't tell me what I want. You haven't a clue.

I want to know if you think you are a good person. If you're able to reconcile what you've done and somehow manage to come up with an excuse that makes you able to sleep at night. Or if you've given up on the idea of goodness as a whole.

dictated;

[precede]

The idea of goodness is as irrelevant to me as pies in the sky, sweetheart. You go on and live by those rules you made up so you could be good, if you want, and I'll live by the ones I made.

dictated;

[signedlefthanded]

I didn't make them up, and I certainly haven't lived by them.

dictated;

[ This amuses him. ] Why didn't you?

dictated;

[signedlefthanded]

Life makes you do things you may not actually want to.

dictated;

[precede]

So, let me get this right. Doing bad things is alright as long as you don't mean them?

dictated;

[signedlefthanded]

I did not say that. Although the character of a person is questioned if they actually intend to do harm. I may not have done good things all the time, but no one is perfect.

dictated;

[precede]

Maybe not. Some are better than others though.

dictated;

[signedlefthanded]

Which was precisely why I asked you what you thought you were.
