Sometimes he just shows you things. The past, the future... whatever seems most fitting. Time is meaningless to him, so he lays it all out in front of you.
You've seen my hand? When he gave me that, I believe it connected me to the void, in some way. In that, any time I make use of it's abilities, I use the void itself, am part of it. Am it now, perhaps, I... don't know.

What you say you have, seems similar. But you are not his creature. I believe that makes you interesting to him. To be so similar but yet not.

It's not by choice.
FROM: garrett@cdc.org
With you, it's tolerable. I can survive my head throbbing. He makes my bones ache.
no subject
This was my only choice.
from: attano.corvo@cdc.org
Has he been in your dreams yet?
no subject
FROM: garrett@cdc.org
No. There's been odd ones but I haven't ever seen him in them.
[Because the Primal at least can protect him from that, and Baku's stolen all his nightmares anyway. SMALL MIRACLES.]

It's not always him so to speak.

I haven't seen anything like that. Not that I remember.
no subject
For the best then. It is never not troubling to behold.
no subject
Don't have to tell me twice- he's following me, remember?
no subject
No, I mean...
from: attano.corvo@cdc.org
The first time he drew me into the Void, he made me see my Empress's dead body as she lay that day. It has been no better since.

...I came across the Primal as part of a job. Steal it, return it to the client, collect what was due and plan the next heist.
FROM: garrett@cdc.org
I was expecting something normal when I took it. It was anything but.
FROM: garrett@cdc.org
The job went sideways because things happened that we weren't expecting. Things that are almost like your god, in a sense.
no subject
It infected you, for want of a better phrase, didn't it?
no subject
Attached is probably a better word.
FROM: garrett@cdc.org
My eye was touched by the flames the Primal produced, when I fell. It's not a normal stone.
no subject
So we are both marked then.
from: attano.corvo@cdc.org
No wonder he follows you.
no subject
He follows me because of my eye.
FROM: garrett@cdc.org
How is that being "marked?"

no subject
To have something like what he gives, but it's not from him. Like I said, it wasn't a choice.
FROM: garrett@cdc.org
I get it, though. The Primal doesn't like the Void, either, from what I can tell. That probably interests him too.
no subject
Neither was it my choice to have all I knew and served be destroyed in front of me, it does not matter to him.
from: attano.corvo@cdc.org
There isn't much I can do, save try to keeping him... interested elsewhere.
no subject
Sounds like a few people I know.
FROM: garrett@cdc.org
Unless something else draws his attention away, I'm stuck with him, is what you're saying.
no subject
We all become like this for a reason.
from: attano.corvo@cdc.org
Even if another pulls his attention, I do not think he ever truly leaves. He's infinite and so are his attentions.
no subject
Just what I always wanted. A pest.
no subject
I could always leave some rats in your quarters if you prefer something a bit more manageable.
no subject
You do and you'll get a new set of booby traps put around your room.
[:VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV]
no subject
You would only catch those I live with in them.
no subject
FROM: garrett@cdc.org
I don't think they'd appreciate being caught in them, Corvo. Might yell at you instead.
no subject
I will be more than happy to point Wade in your direction with the truth of the matter.
[ is it low to use your rover mates like that? Oh well, he murdered the pope, he's past caring. ]
