So, asking for a friend: let's say someone was a falsely accused war criminal wanted on an intergalactic level back at home. Would he have any reason to worry about showing his face here?

Only if there isn't a bounty on his head.

That's a joke, by the way.

[since he is well aware that text won't convey his dryness very well. but seriously, "falsely accused?" he's been there]

Thanks for the clarification.

Looks like he's in the clear, though. Thankfully.

[purrtagonist]

The "falsely accused" part probably helps.

As does people having more sense than to just jump on someone because of a label without knowing background context.

[cargobay]

Well, I don't really know anyone here but my friend. Wouldn't want his story getting out and people to think he was lying to them about something, you know.

[purrtagonist]

Sure. But personally speaking, I probably wouldn't care whether I found it out sooner or later.





By the way, you don't have to keep talking in the third person.

[akira you can't just accuse someone of being an intergalactic fugitive??]

[cargobay]

What? Why's it so hard to believe that I've got friends?

[purrtagonist]

Oh, no. I believe you have friends.

But when someone says "asking for a friend," nine times out of ten they actually mean "asking for myself."

[cargobay]

So what I'm getting from this is you don't trust me.

[purrtagonist]

[haha]

Trust is earned, not freely given.

But no, that's not it. You don't seem like a bad guy. And I've already made it clear that criminal labels mean nothing to me.

[cargobay]

Just a joke, anyway. ;-)

You got some shady business in your own past, then?

[purrtagonist]

[SHIT WAS HE TOO OBVIOUS]

[the answer is yes]

I cheated on a math test once.

[cargobay]

Hold, please. Getting the feds on the other line.

[purrtagonist]

Wow. And after I gave you a nice mini-speech about how criminal labels didn't matter.

Traitor.
