Bleeds' Document:
"TRUE
EVIL!"
by the Lord High Priest Bleeds
This is
Bleeds. This is also Bleeds' piece
of paper your cow eyes are staring at, so treat it with the all the respect you
would give Lord Bleeds.
Nevermind.
You are touching the paper. Do
NOT treat it as you would Lord Bleeds. It
is just paper. In fact, Bleeds
should charge you for using it.
Bleeds
was recently asked, “Lord High Priest Bleeds, what is the nature of True
Evil?” This is a most interesting
question indeed, mostly because Bleeds already knows the answer.
Bleeds will even share this answer with you, for it is an important piece
of information you can carry in the tiny space between your ears.
Before Bleeds
gives you the answer, however, you should know that Bleeds has been called 'True
Evil' many times in his illustrious life. Usually this accusation has been leveled at Bleeds after the
foolish person has given silent communication to Bleeds without realizing it.
For example, when someone (other than the Lady Tanna, of course) touches
Bleeds, this means, 'Lord Bleeds, my arms are an abomination unto my sight and
must be blown from their sockets.' If
someone leans on Bleeds, it means, 'Lord Bleeds, I wish to spend my life leaning
on things. Please cut my legs off with your scythe, that I may lean on
rocks, and bushes, and other small things the rest of my pathetic days.'
And if someone licks Lord Bleeds, it means 'My brain is trying to escape
through my mouth, and the only way to stop it is to cut off my head.'
It annoys
Bleeds that people forget this language of touch, and complain when Bleeds
answers their requests. People who
do not understand the gods should not pray to them.
So what is
True Evil, you ask?
Bleeds first
realized the nature of True Evil when he was a young – but still perfect -
Bleeds. Bleeds had just returned
from a battle in which he allowed the monster to slash Bleeds open a few times
to tease it into thinking it was winning. Bleeds
had not yet bothered to bandage his wounds, because Bleeds was curious to see if
his blood would change colors like one of those hard candies that change if you
suck on one long enough. It had
been running for a good ten minutes and was still annoyingly crimson when a
scab-covered, stringy-haired crone who looked older than a ten-foot tortoise
approached Bleeds with a wild look in her eye.
Without a word, she walked up to Bleeds, licked the blood off his body,
said 'You're welcome', and then hobbled away.
Bleeds even heard her belch.
Bleeds
must have been knocked unconscious after the witch did this, because when he
looked down at his chest, he was no longer wounded.
It was the most disgusting experience Bleeds had ever known! If it could be compared to anything, Bleeds would think it
was similar to being mistaken for a pair of Dwarven underpants and being worn to
the mines all day. Or perhaps it
was more like being sent to the underworld, and then sentenced to spend eternity
as a dried gibbet of mucous inside a donkey's nostril. Or maybe it was like being a happy hole in the ground, and
then having someone build an outhouse on top of you. Bleeds is unsure, however, because thinking of this
experience makes Bleeds feel unBleeds-like, and he would prefer not to remember
it any longer. But Bleeds is
certain of one thing:
Whatever that woman was, she was Pure Evil.
