[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?

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?

[ 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!

[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.

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.

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?

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.

[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.

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

[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????]

[vacare]

Hmm? How so? Focusing on your own lot in life can't be a terrible way to live, can it? A lot of people do it, and I think most people are motivated to do good things. The actions those people take can't do much harm.

[ do you plan a lot, jun. do you live a complicated life. do you get stressed out about the future jun. do you. do. you ]

Focusing on oneself isn't bad, but it can lead to being short-minded and forgetting to account for those that might not be immediately affected. More of a problem of neglect than actual malice.

The same can be said for those that have a broader range of mind, however.

[STOP ASKING HIM QUESTIONNNNSSS !!]

Well... It seems like the least of a lot of evils to me, but I can't argue with that. Anyway, as long as we try our best to treat each other well, things should turn out all right.

[ oh fine UuU ]

[ text ]

[nemophila]

The least of all of them could still be pretty bad if there's nothing worse.

But I should hope most people have altruistic intentions of they chose to stay here, at least, so I suppose there's that.

[vacare]

Optimism is always a good thing. And if we're the only ones that can help, then I'm glad a lot of people have chosen to stay here. It reflects well on us.
