A request [text]; un: Berserker

[curruid_coinchenn]

i'm looking for someone with good morals to bond with flat escardos. i'm bonded to him and that's fine -- i'm not looking to annul the bond or anything like it. if you're not inclined to bond with him, then being willing to explain why the behaviors he considers normal are not normal is good enough.

he is basically a wild animal in human form. he is friendly and outgoing, but don't be lured into a false sense of security by this facade. he is chaotic and strange and will not stop talking once he starts unless you find a way to forcibly silence him.

this is an incomplete list of behaviors he considers normal:

• experimenting on friends without telling them they're a part of an experiment


• conducting loud experiments at odd hours


• nearly burning down the house while conducting pointless experiments


• living in conditions that would embarrass a raccoon


• trying to get people to eat wax

i could go on, but then i would spend way too much time writing this post. you get the idea. he has no concept of manners or propriety and doesn't know how to conduct himself around other people. when things are explained to him, he seems to understand, i'm just not the person to explain these things to him.

any offers of help are appreciated. i can get you in contact with him easily...he'll likely reply here, so if you're interested in being his moral compass, you can speak with him directly.

I'd think these were exaggerations were they coming from anyone besides you.

Sadly, while I fit the qualifications, my own bonded are quite enough as it is.

[ She couldn't handle another disaster in her life. ]

[curruid_coinchenn]

i only wish i were exaggerating.

i would ask you to just speak with him, but you might end up in a conversation you can't escape...

[beariot]

We've spoken before. He's inquisitive, bright, and has a winning smile.

But it's hard to miss the lack of impulse control. [ And struggles with empathy. ]

I have a Bond already, but I can certainly put some time aside to talk to yours. If your username means what I think it does, then my credentials can be summed up in a single sentence:

My current Bonded Witch and Servant is Gilgamesh.

[curruid_coinchenn]

[ A Master. He's not fond of them, to say the least, but... ]

flat is a former master. not mine, but he was involved in a grail war before coming here. but just you being a master doesn't mean you have good morals, considering what most mages are like.

[ He also saw That Post Gilgamesh made... ]

and to be blunt, it seems like you don't have control over anyone in your life.

[sealeted]

Before coming here, the only people I knew were Masters, Servants, or NPCs. But, I survived until the end, no matter what insanity got heaped my way.

Are you looking for that? For him to be 'controlled'? I can sit down and explain things, like with the candle, but I'm not about to break in someone like a wild horse.

wow.

[curruid_coinchenn]

i'm not trying to get rid of you, just so you know. i only want you to have someone better suited to give you guidance on things i can't.

[escardos]

dont worry, i've heard the story enough times before. you're not the first to think i'm too much to handle and you won't be the last

A word in his defense: he's... trying. As far as I can tell, he usually has good intentions and he's an admirable lad in his own way.

[a beat]

... but I understand. Truly.

[curruid_coinchenn]

I know he's trying. He's grown a lot since we Bonded and since...everything happened. I'm only asking for help where I know I can't give him what he needs. Of all people, I should not be the one trying to tell him right from wrong...

[ua_duibhne]

Aye, I know. I don't judge you for that. [He laughs softly.] But I wouldn't dismiss yourself out of hand; you possess many rare, valuable qualities, moral or otherwise, and you speak from the heart.

Do you people ever approach others directly to try to solve problems?

[curruid_coinchenn]

i don't owe you an explanation but i'll give you one, anyway.

you act like i haven't spoken to him at length. i know what i can and can't provide him and expecting someone like me to be a decent moral compass for him is too much. i don't know many people i would consider good for that, either, so this is the best i could do.

[coherer]

There's a difference between trying to get him to stop and airing your guys' grievances out on a public network. If I were him, I'd be seriously embarrassed right now. Like not to nag or anything, it's just gotten to be a trend. Guess I started to side-eye everything.

In any case, I'm not up for bonding rn but if he needs someone to talk to then I'm totally here for that. (No experimenting on me, though.)

are the friend-experiments also conducted at odd hours?

what are friend-experiments?

how do friend-experiments burn down your house?

[A bit later...]

are you doing well?

[curruid_coinchenn]

1. i don't know, maybe.

2. one that i know of is making some sort of meat abomination and nearly killing someone with it because he didn't tell them what it was.

3. just a regular experiment with a candle he made dyed with food coloring. he hasn't done something like that again, but i don't trust him not to.

4. i'm fine. i just need help.

He's a little creep is what he is.

[curruid_coinchenn]

he's my bonded and i care about him. [ There. He said it. ] i take it you're familiar with him? what did he do to you?

un: wvelvet | text, private.

[tryhard]

That's kind of harsh.

I know he's a handful, but it really sounds like you're trying to offload him onto someone, putting it that way.

Though I DID make a point of telling him not to make messes and do weird experiments in shared areas. I guess it didn't stick.

[curruid_coinchenn]

i'm trying to find someone more capable than myself to tell him why his behavior is a problem and make him understand that. though if you couldn't do it, i don't think anyone else can.

I'M GREAT AT MORALS. SUPER MORAL! A MASTER OF MORAL CONDUCT!!

BUT. HALF OF THESE THINGS... ARE THINGS I'VE DONE. AND THE OTHER HALF, MY BROTHER DOES. I THINK MY SENSE OF NORMALCY IS SKEWED.

IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU'RE ASKING SOMEONE TO BE A BROTHER TO HIM. KEEP HIM ON THE STRAIGHT AND NARROW. I DON'T KNOW IF I CAN COMMIT TO A STRANGER LIKE THAT... BUT I'M HAPPY TO GIVE ADVICE!

(PS: WAS THE WAX -FOOD- WAX? OR NORMAL WAX.)

[curruid_coinchenn]

[ That's a lot of caps... ]

my own sense of normalcy is skewed, just not to this degree. [ Violence is his normal. Fighting and killing on a daily basis is normal. ] and you're not wrong. some kind of sibling replacement may be useful for him...or it could make it worse, i'm not sure.

(it was candle wax.)

sounds like you’ve got a lot on your plate. witches do well with monsters, don’t they? being that my moral compass is one of a kind and i don’t want to bite anyone, i volunteer myself as tribute.

[curruid_coinchenn]

i already don't trust you, so...no.
