Who started it? Did you start it? Someone else if there's no magic involved that you know of?

[vintsparkler]

I did not start it, I received it from another LIER, who, as far as I know, is not magically gifted.

[alwayskayaking]

Who was it? How well do you know them? Could they have started it?

[vintsparkler]

I’m not sure I should say.

Well enough to believe he didn’t start it and if he did, I don’t see the harm in something like this.

[alwayskayaking]

Where I'm from? These things can be real. All of it. Including the threat for not following through with the chain. The lucky ones end up dying the others? I don't like to think about them.

[vintsparkler]

I seriously doubt these things are so real in a place like this. If it were generated by the city, there might be some threat to it, but there seems nothing malicious about the chain.

[alwayskayaking]

This place with magic everywhere and a city that can mess with our bodies and mind at all? You don't think it could be real?

And you don't think: YOULL SUFFER A VERY UNSEXY BRAIN INJURY is a threat? Looks like a threat to me.

[vintsparkler]

No, I don’t honestly believe it.

You may be right about that, but it’s just a game, right? Calm down.

[alwayskayaking]

I know of people who have died due to this exact sort of thing. So please don't tell me to calm down.

[vintsparkler]

From chain letters? Goodness. I didn’t realize. Your world sounds rough.

[alwayskayaking]

Not all. Thankfully most are just pranks, but every so often one is real and the lucky ones are the ones who just die.

And yeah, it is. I'm not interested in returning.

[vintsparkler]

So you’re not taking your chances with something like this. I completely understand. Still, I know the person that sent it to me and he would not cause any kind of brain injury, sexy or otherwise.

And if he did and knowingly sent it to me, I’ll be sure to personally give him that brain injury.

I hope you never have to.

[alwayskayaking]

Then for the both of you I hope I'm wrong. I hope you both stay safe, but I have no intention of letting this continue. If it is real then I'm going to get hurt, but that's better than causing someone else pain.

[vintsparkler]

How noble of you.

I’ll take responsibility if you’re hurt, but I do doubt it’s going to happen.

[alwayskayaking]

I hope not.
