[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?

Never?

[well we can't say he doesn't envy her situation]

Not really. The public school system leaves something to be desired.
We weren't thrown out into war pits, [whatever those were] but I learned more through independent study than I ever did in my classroom.

Nope!

They group fit Black Hole members together for breeding purposes, but children are state property. [She rolls her eyes and spins her wrist as she continues to talk.] Bla bla bla this is the part where most people and the nations in my homeworld went "Gasp! Those Black Hole Monsters!" But...we were a conquering state!

[She shrugs.]

Fear no challenge, fear no pain, fear no death! That's Black Hole's motto. I was raised in it, I don't see what the big deal is. Only the strong survived. Morality was considered a weakness. After all, science can achieve much more if you ignore it, right? Although I guess if the other nations beat us...Tsk! What am I even saying?

[Oh thank you subject change, she'll take it for 500$, Alex.]

Self-taught? Ha! So you're a thinking man. I can respect that! After all, a task like this requires careful planning like a life-and-death game of chess...

...this place is getting even more interesting! Finally!

[W....ell...... he can't really say he approves of that sort of "family," but er. Maybe it's best not to say anything.]

The morality of science is certainly a touchy subject.
Regardless, I enjoy learning about the world around me.
But you've got the right idea. Playing between the lines requires a lot more care.
Hopefully I won't bore you.

Pfft morality! I have more fun when I don't think about it, personally!

[She nods when he mentions he won't bore her.]

Good! Cause no one really likes me when I'm bored.

[She bring up what she's been tinkering on while talking to him, and it looks like a small raygun. With a flicker of exaggerated flourish she fires it off, and blows the steam that rises from the tip.]

That wasn't threatening, by the way! I was just showing off!

[..At least she's really honest about those things?!]

[Well then. This was certainly an uh...interesting...character.....]

In that case, you can leave the thinking to me. [He uh...had his own things to say about morality, but somehow he was sure that would just bore her; and this was probably best for both of them anyway.]
Don't worry, I believe you. And if that's the sort of thing you regularly deal with, I have to admit it's impressive.
