That's it?

[Johnny isn't terribly impressed. Not by the implied regicide, but rather that that was it. There has to be more than that, to be worth selling your soul. Arthas struck him as better than that.]

[prodigalleader]

What do you mean 'that's it'?

[it strikes him as mildly hilarious. he has clearly never been a king.]

You can't wave your hand and make singing skeletons? Erase somebody from the time stream? Shoot fire from your face? I know there are heads of corporations rich enough to buy planets.

[To be fair, Johnny leads a very mobile lifestyle, and likes it. He's made round trips across the galaxy. He can't imagine being the ruler of a single country or continent and staying there.]

[prodigalleader]

Oh, that. Yes. I can raise anything that's dead into corporeal or incorporeal servants. I can make ice, boil blood, bend plagues, and I'm very hard to kill.

It might be that I don't age, but it hasn't been long enough for me to tell.

[Johnny wants to say oh fantastic, you're a necromagus too. But the longer he thinks about it, the more he starts to realize that he doesn't really care that much, outside of on principle for Sabbat, and what happened to himself.]

Well, alright. That's certainly something. Sounds very pleasant. Making ice would be nice in this weather.

How hard would it have really been to have killed you?

<arthas>

[prodigalleader]

What, at home?

Very.

[strontiumdog]

[Damn it. He didn't take the bait. Oh well.]

That's very wonderful for you. Have you ever survived a decapitation? This is just of curiosity.

<arthas>

[prodigalleader]

A bad Death Knight can, sure.

A good one, like me, has never had to.
