Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

The last time I called was over a month ago.
eta: OK, it was about six weeks ago.

I think this paragraph by Nilly is an excellent way of looking at the crux of the issue:
The one thing which I feel is important for me to know whether it's true or not is the report on his death. Regardless of other stories, taking this one at face value may hurt people. Telling a story about that is involving the online personality with the "outside" facts. And that's what makes it different, IMHO, than any other coming-up with stories about a person's life events.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
I don't mind if Gus was a pseud; factual elements, which were always fantastic, aside, he was a unified voice, and never asked for anything from us but our time. I just hope nobody is laughing, because that would bother me.
My seestor posts wisely. No! You can't claim she's your sister! She's mine, all a figment of my imagination!
Casper and the Dillo are actually my cats. (My imaginary cats.)
Sorry, sorry. I had to inject some levity, because that is my job. In all seriousness, I'm glad the conversation is happening, and I'm glad it's happening in nice and thinky ways, and I agree it's an awkward position to be put into -- hoping that a guy is dead because the alternative is not-nice.

Well, that's just sloppy storytelling. shakes head
There's a picture of Seamus on that page too. Anyone seen it before?
It occurred to me yesterday (I actually had a nightmare about this, you guys, where Hec and I and someone else went to the Wisconsin address and no one had ever heard of Gus and he had never existed and it was ALL LIES and it was very distressing) that if "Janitor" has been posting as Gus on tropes and "Janitor" is supposedly kimi and kimi announced Gus's death and the death is not real then perhaps neither is kimi. Had he mentioned her before?

Hec's the one with charisma. But I've got the wisecracks. We're more of a duo. Like Batman and...Batman Prime.

I've been assuming that she's his 'goilfriend' - he's mentioned her a lot.
