Not that Santa has trouble hiding his personality, but one can never be too careful with a question like this.]


Where do I sign up to join the Anoli?

Or if no one knows;

Where do I find someone who can help me join the Anoli?

Were you around for what happened that first day? Those guys didn't care what was in the way; they just blew it up! If there's ever been an unambiguous antagonist with a capital A, it's the Anoli.

No one's gonna help you unless you find one of them yourself.

Just go home.

[getoutclaus]

I might have been and I might not have been; but I do know what they did, and my decision was only finalized after those actions.

Out of the two factions on either side of this glorified war the Anoli are the easiest to trust, and that should tell you something about the faction you have allied with.

Of course I would stay with that faction, too. I simply want to branch out a little.

[otakuro]

All it tells me is that the person I'm talking to has a really warped idea of what trust is. The 'defenders' of this city are practically see-through compared to what I've been dealing with.

Good luck 'trusting' the terrorists. Let me know how that goes for you.

[getoutclaus]

If I didn't trust the people who gave me food, water and shelter then what would possess me to trust a group of militant extremists? It is not that I would trust them but that I'd prefer their company as they are more blatant about their secrets.

I wish you the same amount of luck trusting the rulers of this city.

Though aren't you curious about the Anoli in the slightest?

[otakuro]

How the hell can they be more blatant about their secrets when you haven't even met any of them yet? Don't talk around it. You're just the kind of person who gets a kick out of taking advantage of a crappy situation.

[Atsuro is restraining himself from writing harsher words. Though his sense of judgment is far less severe than Keisuke's, he couldn't abide this, nonetheless - siding with the Anoli or taking advantage of a demon invasion to extort and harm others. It was all the same. The same kind of person, the same thinly veiled excuses.]

Sure, I'm curious. I'm planning to sit down and have a nice chat the next time one of them tries to stab me in the face.

[getoutclaus]

I was using an oxymoron for emphasis since they don't really hide their intent to murder, pillage and destroy.

At least you mentioned that the Anoli try to stab you in the face, not in the back.


And finally I'd like to add that it's not that I'm taking advantage of a crappy situation - there is nothing in this for me - but rather it would be more interesting to inspect both sides of the coin.

[otakuro]

Oh, geez, what was I thinking? Of course that makes them better by default. Open homicide instead of covert manipulation is definitely the way to go.

And I know you're just trying to be clever, but they stabbed wherever they could reach.

Some people don't deserve to be heard out. Like terrorists and murderers. If they had an agenda that didn't involve being assholes, they would have told us already to try and sway us to their side.

[getoutclaus]

Everyone has a right to be heard; haven't you heard of free speech? Or does that right not exist here?

[Okay with that one he was just being obtuse and acting like a dick]

If I was given the choice between two people; one who said he was going to attack and attempt to kill me at one point and only had a slightly powerful weapon and another who swore that he would protect me, and who constantly reminded me that safety was a priority but had an extremely powerful weapon at his disposal then I would choose to spend my time with the first person.

If we assume that the government here are the second person then it becomes much worse when we aren't given a choice.

[Insane logic that only makes sense to extremely wealthy jackasses? Probably.

It's probably made worse by the fact that everything he's saying he only half believes.]

[otakuro]

Freedom of blowing stuff up isn't a right in any country, sorry.

If I was given a choice between those two people, like hell I'd be sticking with the guy who wants to kill me! Who cares what kind of weapon he has?! He wants to kill you! You're not even trying to make sense anymore!

Your analogy stinks, anyway. It's not like our Persona aren't 'powerful weapons'. And I've got a lot more than that backing me up - And that's just me. If this town tries to screw us over, they'll be facing a hundred angry superpowered people from a hundred different universes. There's no way they'd be dumb enough to try something like that.

[getoutclaus]

Our Persona are really powerful, but what is to stop the powers that be from removing them from us? They did give them to us, after all.

You are like a country who cannot launch a nuclear strike without the use of satellites from the united states who then declared a war on the united states and expect to use nuclear warfare on them.

It wont happen.

[otakuro]

See 'a lot more than that backing me up'. The syntax of whatever you just said makes no sense but I get the general idea. Luckily, this country has developed an EMP bomb.

And if you nitpick the relative strengths and weaknesses of bomb-types, I'm sending your COMP a virus that makes it sing The Song That Never Ends on repeat forever.

[getoutclaus]

While I do not want to give away too much about myself; I should add that I am deaf so I do not know what that song sounds like.

I have also never heard of that song.

And also I have enough technical experience that I think I would be able to remove a virus from my COMP.

I wonder what would happen if we set off a bomb in this city, though. That might be interesting, indeed.

[otakuro]

You're not very clever, huh? Maybe 1% of the population is deaf, and it's not a condition you can hide, either. You'd out yourself in a heartbeat if you admitted to it.

Not that knowing you're not deaf is much of a clue.

And you don't need to wonder because someone already did. Deafness of the memory, huh?

[getoutclaus]

I prefer to call it selective memory.

[He's certainly not going to mention that his total bff is blind and while he doesn't hide it doesn't show it much at all, that really would point towards him.]

I wil admit tho I'm not very cliver, its why Im wanting too join some terrirists in the first place yure right.

[He is having such fun here.]

[otakuro]

Good. Now go stand in the corner and think about how sorry you are.

[getoutclaus]

Steady on old bean; I did not say I was sorry.

There is no remorse over here.

None at all.


Well, only a little since I wasted my valuable time talking to you like this.

I should have ignored you the minute you sounded so high and mighty, shouldn't I?

[otakuro]

Just like I should've ignored you the minute you talked about how awesome and transparent the Anoli were. Weird how that works.

[getoutclaus]

Yes, well, you didn't.

Now run along, wont you? I'm sure there's a cat stuck in a tree you could be saving, mr and or mrs and or ms hero.

[He loves you really.]

[otakuro]

While I do not want to give away too much about myself, I'm actually a genderless angel? There are a lot of us around, so I'm totally not identifiable, sorry.

[getoutclaus]

You do strike me as the 'would rather die than even consider doing wrong' type of person, that's for sure.

Not the kind of person that warrants identifying. Sadly enough there's one of you on every corner.

[otakuro]

Thank whatever I still have faith in that there's more of us than there are of you.

[Yehowah would have passed judgment on humanity in a heartbeat. Atsuro shuts off communications on his end and briefly wonders if it was even worth trying to track this person down. No network ever provided true anonymity, and he'd learned from the best hacker who'd ever set foot on the earth. It helped that the guy had been around since there was even an earth to set foot on.

After a few moments, he settles on logging some basic information into his computer and leaving it be.

Even the path of the demons had been a means towards the overall goal: the protection of humanity. He'd thought they'd been offered complete freedom of choice, but in hindsight, there was an option missing. An option that none of them had even considered, that no one would ever consider in their right mind. Leaving the world - and humanity - to its destruction...

How anyone could possibly desire that was beyond him.]
