[text] attention everyone shut the hell up

I assume you have all educated yourselves on what Philemon's intentions and goals are for this city in his latest charade, or you would not be wasting your time humoring that ludicrous and insipid excuse for literature.

Now, what about Nyarlathotep? Have any of you figured out anything about his plans for this city, or are you more concerned with petty child's play?

I don't care. [can u spot the lie.]
But I've seen what's happened like this before.
I wanted to see if anyone was smart enough to not let it happen again.

Don't look now, but asking something like this in the first place? That kind of sounds like caring to me! Even if it's only for yourself. That's important too! Anyway... Good luck with your search! I don't think I'd be much help unless there's something solid to fight.

Perhaps. Call it an... intellectual curiosity. Ideally it'll actually lead somewhere.
I'm sure there will be plenty demons and monsters for you to knock out to your heart's content.
Just make sure you're fighting the sign you deem appropriate.

Well, don't let me stop you from that! Looks like you're getting attention, anyway. Are tons of questions asking you to repeat yourself really what you wanted? Ah... yeah. I'm not really looking for a fight, either. Not unless it comes to me? It's just something I'm good at.

Not exactly

[He couldn't possibly have been overestimating people, could he??]

There's a fine line between waiting for a fight and jumping at the opportunity.

At least it doesn't seem like people were scared off. That's what I would've been afraid of with an approach like that. ... That's true, isn't it? [ hey watch as he dances around that topic ]

If I'm enough to scare people off, then I wonder just how anyone expects to solve any problems.

Isn't it? You tell me. It's just a theory. [NOT SO FAST, SIR.]

Huh... Guess they'll find allies they're less scared of and do the same thing? Maybe. Ah, well... It sounds right? I don't think I do either, though. I'm a traveler, that's all. If I come across something wrong... Well, I have to help, right? [ ... not exactly a lie. phew. ]

I suppose that's the best I can ask for in this situation.
It's better than nothing.

I suppose so. Did you always solve your problems with violence?

Well, if you're satisfied, then there was good done here!

[ ..................................................................................................... ]

Do I sound like a violent person to you?

Not particularly. But people who have a problem aren't always under attack though, are they?

That's true, but taking away that much from what I've said is kind of a big assumption to make, I think. The nature of the countries I traveled weren't always peaceful... I've helped dig wells as many times as I've done not-as-peaceful things.

You were the one asked if I thought you were a violent person. I just asked a question about your typical habits based on how you responded to what else I said.

Still, I suppose digging wells would take a similar physical skillset anyway.

[ ... yeah. welp. please don't start digging, jun, you've got enough issues. uou ]

Nah, digging wells takes a long time. It's a lot of hard work! It can be fun with the right kind of people, though. Fights... Well, normal fights are a lot faster. It's a different kind of strength.

[Sorry, it's kind of a bad habit by now.]

True, but they both require a certain amount of endurance and stamina; though perhaps in varying degrees.
Fights bordering on longer battles I'm sure would require more stamina than strength in order to maintain a sort of longevity... Though I supposed that'd be if you want to wage a war of attrition.

[ ~~eternal screaming into the abyss~~ ]

Yeah... I'm not really interested in that kind of thing. War's too big for me! One fight once in a while is fine, but anything more than that is scary.

[~~huehuehuehue i mean~~]

It might as well be a war that we're getting into, if past experience speaks for anything.

[ ~~OuO;;;!!!!~~ ]

Is there any way to avoid a fight? I would've hoped that something could have been reasoned out, but if that's not possible, especially since we're talking about talking to concepts... I suppose there's nothing that can be done.

But you can't really fight a concept, can you?
In the end it can't be destroyed, so it's a futile endeavor.
The only way to win that fight would have to be non-lethally or as a pacifist.
Though you can't really reason with a concept either, I suppose.

... I wouldn't be very happy with that kind of conclusion, if I get where you're coming from. Right?

Basically.
Whatever solution satisfies the most parties will be nothing simple at all, at the very least.

I don't think there are many solutions that'd satisfy everyone... Maybe there aren't any. I guess... That's where your priorities come in?

That'd be the ideal solution.

[Ideal talk? Shit, he'd definitely sent that message a milisecond before he regretted it.]

...It's entirely impossible, but I think it's a good thing to strive for.

[ good thing you're talking to eiji "actually not a dumb motherfucker" hino - enjoy your sense of security as he - yeeeeeep he'll just gloss right over that ]

A perfect world, huh... You're right. That'd be hard, but for everyone, I guess it wouldn't be a bad idea to at least try!

[Unfortunately, he's counting it as a win!]

Precisely. It's impossible, but it's best to try and figure out how to help the most people instead of focusing on a smaller group of people.
Inelegant, but feasible.
