[text] attention everyone shut the hell up

[nemophila]

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?

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.

[nemophila]

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.

[vacare]

[ ... 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.

[nemophila]

[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.

[nemophila]

[huehuehuehue i mean]

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

[vacare]

[ 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.

[ text ]

[nemophila]

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.

[vacare]

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

[ text ]

[nemophila]

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

[ text ]

[vacare]

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?

[ text ]

[nemophila]

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!

[ text ]

[nemophila]

[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.

[ just as keikaku ]

And that's all we can do... Well, that's all I can do, anyway. I'm only human. Maybe demons have more choices?

[ text ]

[nemophila]

[damn you]

Maybe, but I don't think demons are as wont to care about the fate of humanity as the rest of us.

[ text ]

[vacare]

[ :) ]

Hmm... It's difficult, thinking of others, let alone humanity. There are a lot of people out there, after all. My decisions never reached that far. Did yours?

[ text ]

[nemophila]

Not on the average day to day-- What time to wake up, what route to take to school.
But when it counted, my plans were for the world.

[ text ] the font change isn't ic this is just easier to read ouo!!

[vacare]

That's a lot of responsibility... but you seem smart! I'm sure you made good decisions.

[ text ] \o/ !!

[nemophila]

Maybe. It's hard to tell in the grand scheme of things.

[noncomittal as fuq]

[ text ]

[vacare]

That's a humble way of putting it. Very admirable.

[ B) ]

[ text ]

[nemophila]

I think you may be overestimating me-- I wasn't trying to be humble, just simply stating the facts.

[ text ]

[vacare]

Oh! My mistake, sorry. You just seem to be focusing on the problems directly ahead. I just thought that was a good way to think.

[ text ]

[nemophila]

I appreciate the compliment, but I'm sure that sort of thinking can be just as dangerous in some people as it is good in others.

[NICE SAVE????]
