[He laughs. Fair enough. He likes you, goblin, so you get to keep your fingernail this time.]

I'm a serial killer. I'm up to 77, but murder's only on my little list one time. Super cool that 77 lives rank the same as "pride".

[He sounds genuinely irked by that, for one reason or another. But the timer's still ticking, so he elaborates.]

I pick people that look interesting, spend some time learning about them, then I break into their house at night. Back home, I could use magic to get into their heads and make 'em do things, so I'd have them cut on themselves for a while. The killing is just a byproduct of that. I always do it myself, though. I don't make them do that part.

[That seems to do the trick. The machine fires up again, but only to type up a new sin.]

The stuff you just listed doesn't really scare me, for the record.

[It's not a brag! Just, like, a heads up.]
