IC Prospective: Equius Zahhak

[strongjumps]

Character: Equius Zahhak
Canon: Homestuck
Mun: Phil
Plot Specific: Nope

D --> It is a truly depressing day. I have spent weeks researching and tracking the Centaurs of the Forbidden Forest. I went to great lengths to ensure that my little adventure would not result in punishment from the faculty. I braved the possibility of mortal danger, I risked life and limb, and for what?

To have my face spat upon both figuratively and literally by the very centaurs I sought. It was truly humiliating. I feel like the world's biggest fool.

I need a towel.

You make me sound like a rat. That's kind of mean. :)

... Yeah I wouldn't try it. I mean, it's not a case of you being able to take one on, it's a case of one bite and you're it kind of thing.

D --> I could have been meaner and implied that you were a plaguebearer as well. But you are probably quite healthy.

Yes, that is a very good point. If I could bind one's mouth or remove its teeth, then I think the match could be possible.

Or I could have been insane. I guess I'm luckier than some. :)

That just sounds like cheating. How about you leave the werewolves alone, huh?

[strongjumps]

D --> I truly doubt you are insane. You use proper grammar.

I do not know if I would call it cheating. Wrestling does not involve biting.

[greenmoonrising]

Plenty of mass murderers had perfect grammar, and several people would call them insane.

Well, werewolves don't exactly think like humans... so they wouldn't realize that biting is a no-go in wrestling. Then again, they don't really wrestle with humans they just... kill or turn them.

D --> I suppose you have a point. But you seem far from insane, if it is any consolation.

Kill or turn? Everything that I have read on werewolves (albeit very little) implies a more bestial intelligence, so what would be the purpose of showing such mercy?

Also, you seem to know a lot about werewolves. What year are you?

[greenmoonrising]

Thanks.

Well, you shouldn't be so quick to kill, I mean. Werewolves are still people.

I'm in Fifth year, we covered werewolves for our OWLS.

D --> I do not mean killing the werewolves. I meant to say that I do not believe they are very intelligent while in that form, and I find it astonishing that they have the mental strength to pull their punches and choose NOT to slay a target.

I do not doubt that they are still people. Afflicted, but people nonetheless.

You are a fifth year? I apologize for my earlier actions.
