Yep.

I was actually pretty composed until he started talking. It's the difference between a protective anger and an all consuming rage.

Protective anger. Right.

[I think you mean "pathetic anger". >(]

Yes. The anger that fuels knights and soldiers to keep fighting. At least those not fueled by desperation.

That protective anger is going to screw you over here. Well, screw you over more.

And why is that?

Because that's what happens when you get attached. Duh.

[FRIENDS ARE USELESS is that really so hard to understand, bro?]

Hmmm.

That's cause ya can't really see what it is in yer head. It's kind of obvious.

What are you on about?

Ya think it's something other than it is. Ya say protective, but yer thinking it's something else.

Probably spoken like someone who hasn't seen a real fight.

[He ignores the comment about having not seen a real fight, because he's been in plenty of fights, and they were pretty real to him. Unless they were all hallucinatory side effects from the meds, which he doubted.]

Bothering to protect people period is stupid.

[Of course he's going to fail to mention somewhat protecting Jimmy and Petey, BECAUSE THAT TOTALLY DOESN'T COUNT.

And why is that?

It's pointless.

[I MEAN WHO WANTS TO PROTECT PEOPLE HAHA]

So the fact yer alive is pointless, is what yer saying?

[Imminent slaps of reality coming.]

Now what does that have to do with anything?

[Do you really want to go there, Shadow? I DON'T THINK GARY'S BRAIN CAN BREAK ANYMORE.]

[Blame Becca for my foul mood.]

It's simple. The feeling, the motivation to protect others is what starts things like knights or the police or really just hunters. The desire to protect is what makes places like this. A safe haven in a dangerous place.

Now those who can 'protect others' are more than able to 'protect themselves.' So if they all decided to protect themselves, what happens to the others like ya who can't fight the monsters?

[If he finds out she's the reason he's going to put up with her horrible presence just to make her suffer.]

Safe haven's are boring.

[Ignoring the rest because FUCK YOU SHADOW]

Safe haven's are why yer not dead.

That's why protecting others isn't pointless. Because supposedly what's being protected is something useful. But if it's pointless to protect others, just means yer useless, doesn't it?

[:)]

You call this shit hole a safe haven? [BITTERNESS]

[Shrugging casually; let's NOT talk about being "alive". >(]

Alright. Maybe if someone isn't totally useless and it somehow benefits you to protect them, fine. But that's it. Out of necessity. Any other reason is just stupid.

I was here near the beginning. Ya couldn't go down the hall without risking a Mosslion trying to bite yer head off. This is pretty safe.

Ah, but then that goes into other problems. How do ya determine whose 'necessary?' I mean, children are pretty useless when they're still learning and growing, and they could grow up not fulfilling yer needs. But they COULD.

And ya can't just ignore all the children because what if ya need more people for some reason down the line? Or how about when ya get so old ya can't defend yerself properly?

Safer maybe. I'd hardly call it safe. Ya' know, with the missing people and all.

[Waving dismissively.]

Who cares about kids</>. You focus on people who are necessary now. As for the future, I'll be just fine. I can look after myself.

[I am not thinking about my shitty future in this shitty place, SHUT UP.]

That's cause they wandered out. That's general stupidity.

So tell me, how would ya have survived up until now? How would ya have gotten past two years old without someone else?

[Whoa, treading into dangerous territory there.

scowling.]

I did it didn't I? Barring that stupid accident I survived just fucking fine. I didn't. need. Anyone.

Then go out into Nature. If ya don't need anyone, why stay here?

Don't be a moron. I'm not dumb enough to go out there. And there's no reason for me to be out there.

Then...yer a liar.
