Wait...servant of...
« on: May 13, 2011, 05:59:08 pm »

I recently met a child in a shop. Not seeing many children around, I chatted with her.
She said that she was a servant of death. And to give myself to suicide or something like that.
Later conversations yielded such tidbits as "Life is, in a word, death," "Yes, consider death," "Consider death," and "When going on a long journey, don't forget to speak the praises of Death." EDIT: Also, "Prudence demands that you consider suicide."

WHY ARE ALL KIDS IN DF EITHER BEING USED AS SHIELDS OR CREEPY?

Also, why is this the first pious person I've met?

That is that civilisation's religion. Before XX.13 basically every human was religious and would say stuff like this. I rarely ever see it anymore either, though. Funny find, though. I imagine that as sort of like a mystical prophetic possessed child of death haha.

I know what it is, but the macabre subject seemed inappropriate for a little girl of seven years.

Talk to the child, and ask what you can do for them. Then you'll worship the Gods of Suicide!

lol. It only works in temples, but still.

"GreatWyrmGold was a worshipper of the Gods of Death and Suicide"

Df, it's not anime. Anime is not DF. If DF was an anime, it would not be DF.

I wonder if anyone else knows the song that was just running through my head. I doubt it.

DF would be a very, VERY bloody anime. Not even kidding. Imagine the guts getting spilled, the arms and legs sailing off in arcs, the fingernail smashing, etc.

They can.

You need to find a human temple, and then ask to do service (Like asking for a quest).

Then you'll be labeled as a worshiper, and can talk to your god! The god won't respond though  :P

I had the same kind of thing, the child was worshipping a god of suicide and death and said pretty much the same thing as the OP's child did..... As soon as I was sick of him going "Life is in a word, suicide" I asked the profession........ "I'M FOUR!"

It might even be bloodier than Berserk... If that is possible.

I still think I have a better quote or two:

"Life is, in a word, death,"..."Prudence demands that you consider suicide."
