Greetings.

I have a request to make and am willing to pay as one sees fit.
I need a coffin to be made with careful specifications. Some requirements would include ensuring that it is made with the intent to last for many years, the interior to be comfortable enough for a man to rest in, and perhaps a few other details depending on your skill set.

Before you ask, yes. It is for me.
Take that as you will.

[starmark]

where did you get the money to pay for a coffin

[reposing]

Hard to say. I don't even know what it will cost yet.

[starmark]

probably a lot
sounds like you've got some particular specifications for it

probably it'll take a while to make too
since you're so picky about it

[reposing]

Would you willingly sleep on a plank of wood, Jotaro?

[starmark]

i've slept on a lot worse

so are you just not gonna sleep either
until it's ready

[reposing]

I did say willingly. To imply one's preferences, not what you have or would put up with.

Oh, I can sleep fine on a bed. However, it isn't a deep sleep.

[starmark]

what i want doesn't really matter

[That's not the point, and he'll think about what possessed him to answer that way at a later time, but for the moment it's out and that's that.]

you're still gonna do that huh
a deep sleep
that's really still your plan

[reposing]

Why does it not?

You are kind to think of me, to treat me as a man.
However, my plans have not changed as you said. I have no oath to uphold here.

[starmark]

it just doesn't
it's not about me

and it's not about being kind either
it's about you're being a fucking dumbass

[reposing]

Becoming frustrated on the behalf of a stranger is something one might describe as empathetic and kind. But describe it however you wish.

[starmark]

so if you had an oath
you'd have to stay awake

that's pretty much what you just said
right

[reposing]

Something like that.
I was duty bound to do a few things. My last task is something I cannot do here, so I see little point in not continuing with my previous intentions.

[starmark]

what last task?

[reposing]

A friend told me to stay awake. To watch over and care for both his family's hold and Dracula's castle.
I have no obligation to fulfill that as I am here indefinitely.

[starmark]

...huh
so you won't just stay awake on your own
you have to have a reason

hmmm
ok then

[reposing]

You're quite concerned with my circumstances.

[starmark]

so what if i am

if you're going to do something stupid you'd better get used to people telling you you're being stupid

what if i decided to sleep forever
you'd just be ok with that?

[reposing]

You're a human, and a petulant one at that. I doubt that you would do such a thing.

[starmark]

would you be ok with it or not

[reposing]

No.

[starmark]

quite concerned with my circumstances aren't you

anyway put some shoes on
i'm going out and you're coming

[reposing]

Fuck you.

And where are we going?

[starmark]

out

you don't have enough money for a coffin anyway
and even if you did it's gonna take some time to make it
so like it or not you're stuck here awake for a while

can't learn shit about the local customs just sitting in your house

[reposing]

Sure I can. There's something call the internet. It's quite fascinating.

But I suppose I can leave the flat for awhile. Where are we meeting?

[starmark]

what is the internet

[also if you were a baby fifty years ago then how old are you]

anyway just give me directions to your house
i'll come pick you up

[and then know where you live]
