I'm IMMORTAL Peter, I couldn't kill myself even if I tried. Yes, I had a habit of falling out of windows. Because when you're being chased by a troll or a golem or what the hell else decides to bother me, sometimes your only option to get away is through the window.
You can't strong-arm Gregs into an oath. I have a feeling the power is mutually consensual. Oaths can be made over the communicator, they don't have to be made face to face. There's a sort of clicking noise when an oath is made. I don't know if this is just for me or for others, but I feel a little nagging feeling that happens until I fulfill my duties of the oath.
As it is, my oath is that whenever I see Greg, I'll provide honest commentary on his appearance. Which is good, because a lot of the times he needs it.
[ There aren't many virtues to Mark's upbringing. One of the few is that, when he can't see any reason to lie, he doesn't lie. And he certainly doesn't see any reason to seem naive and trusting. ]
[ Dorian says he'll eat anything; the clone absolutely will eat anything, no exaggerations. But steaks feel classy and decadent and vaguely transgressive for someone raised on protein grown in a vat. It feels like something a rich asshole would eat, and Peter Kane is a rich asshole, so it seems right. ]

Do you trust me?
text
Date: 2016-04-03 01:11 am (UTC)With a few things.

Date: 2016-04-03 02:01 am (UTC)[ and not trust in some cases ]
Anything else you want to know about Gregs? Or maybe we can just talk for a while?
[ because Dorian wants to keep on being seen as cool in Mark's eyes, he's got this, he can do friendship ]
text
Date: 2016-04-03 02:06 am (UTC)[ Friendship. Right. It works like this, right? You talk to people. And do things with people. Frien....dsh...ip. Yes. ]
I feel like I owe you dinner or something after this.
[ n...ailed it????????? ]
text
Date: 2016-04-03 02:08 am (UTC)[ food! free food! free food that Dorian doesn't have to cool! He has low priorities and this is hitting them. ]
Do you have a particular kind you like? I'll eat almost anything, to be honest.

Date: 2016-04-03 02:21 am (UTC)I'm fine with steaks. I'm free around lunch most of the time, though if we want this to be an evening thing, I'll need to check my schedule.

Date: 2016-04-03 02:26 am (UTC)[ And it seems less high-pressure, somehow, than dinner. No idea why. ]
