The 'I Have a New Name' thread

It depends on what do you want to do. I'm sure you've heard of Dexter.

Something something because Dexter.

People are puzzles. Sociopaths see what's on the surface, and can use that with physical and deductive evidence to piece people together in a manner that they can start to understand. Empaths read what's going on below a person's skin, and can use that in conjunction with observation of the person's behavior to lead them to evidence that the person doesn't know they've already given. These are not mutually exclusive traits (empathy and sociopathy).

A sociopathic empath is a callous manipulator, and is the most frightening being for the delivery of violence... essentially: the most effective kind of serial killer is the one who observes everything about a person without ever getting 'close' to that person.

Dexter's got an MO... he follows his rituals, marks victims as his kills. A 'better' serial killer would effortlessly kill in myriad manner and move on, relishing in the thrill as people try to piece together a puzzle that doesn't exist because the kill itself was simple. An unstoppable reflection of all that humanity can be.

But... where would the fun in that be? Attacking an unaware target is so easy that they might as well be comatose... no rush, no thrill, no danger; a kill that won't link to anyone, but also a kill that will not be remembered. A simple slash across someone's throat as you walk past them? Boring. Ending a child who followed you out of interest into a secluded area? Dull. Killing the same kind of person all the time for the same reasons and in the same manner? Fucking monotonous. I don't know how most serial killers can stand it.

Callous Alice isn't my gig anymore, but... even if she was? She wouldn't be boring, and while death can be an amusing joke on occasion... it's lifeless vapidness is chore, especially if one starts to live by it.

What I want to do, Dystopia... is to travel alone and homeless, and preferably without killing anyone who isn't being 'interesting' I'd probably assume that 'someone currently or recently engaging in rape, murder, or trafficking' would apply... but the likelihood I come across such in a manner to be of significantly more effective use with a knife than I would with a 911 call to the police is a rare rare feature indeed, and lives/innocence would almost certainly have to be dependent upon it.

I'm far too intimacy-loving a person to be a SK these days... I just can't even take that life seriously... and it's certainly not worth giving up what I want out of my life for cheap thrills that I can get better in my head.

Season? I didn't know Death Note had seasons, I just downloaded all 37 (or 36?) episodes and watched everything in 5 days (I was working). The ending is shitty but not conceptually shitty, it's emotionally shitty, at least for me it was.....

I'm just assuming that L's death and the start of that horrendous death metal and the 3 year gap signified 'new season'... I was just telling netflix to play the next video each time one ended

Change your name, it's not like you're breaking any rules or anything.

I almost feel that I can't call you nappystain anymore... and this makes me sad.
