I do think their selection is limited somehow.

What they needed was someone that everyone would trust. Or someone smart enough to get on everyone's good side but stupid enough to trust the gods and spread around bullshit about how trustworthy and nice they are.

Not gonna happen with the Sabra people around.

Yup. They sure did screw that up.

[He hasn't been around long but HE SEES EVERYTHING.]

That's why I think they're limited in their choices.

The fact there is so many Sabra people. And why they'd BRING them. If they really could pick and choose.

They probably don't have as much power as they let on. Ended up having to pick people at random.

That or they really are just morons.

...I don't think you realize how much power it takes to cross dimensions.

Even moving one person from a dimension that's literally folded on by another takes an unbelievable amount of power to do. And those are dimensions that ARE connected together, where you can just punch through the weakest points.

To pull this many to another place, completely detached from our home places? They got plenty of power.

If they have that much power you'd think they'd find a way to use it to clear out this craphole themselves.

But that still leaves the problem of there being 'no people.'

You're right.

They were probably better off just letting this pit die out.

...really, ya think they would? Seriously?

Of course not. But they should have. They're just setting themselves up for major disappointment.

Why is that?

It's only a matter of time before this place crumbles.

...

[Laughs.]

Wow, ya really don't know people.

[HAHAHA]

Enlighten me, then.

Well, it's not hard to fall into chaos. And countries and the like can easily fall due to that.

But we're the only people on this planet, supposedly. Which means this place, where we are? It won't crumble. Institutions, systems crumble. But as a whole, people will always find a way to move on, keep going. So this 'place' won't crumble because no matter what, we're the group rebuilding the place. So all it can do is sometimes fall into chaos, but we'll get it going in a good way eventually.

[Too much positive in one speech, man.]

You're freakishly optimistic. Do you give seminars somewhere?

Actually, I'm extremely cynical and a pessimist.

But I do have a realist in there, so I'm not going to ignore what I've seen with my own eyes. I've seen a country thrown into chaos, monsters and villains everywhere, burning places and destroying homes.

They recovered. After getting rid of the big bad villain, at any rate.

[What does everyone have against the big bad villain? He supposes there's some truth to this; look what happened to him. He likes to think after he died Bullworth got closed down, at least. That would be some sort of victory. BUT...every bullshit story has a dumb happy ending. Even in life. THAT IS WHAT PISSES HIM OFF SO MUCH.

Once his internal rage is calmed down, he shrugs.]

Yeah, I'm sure we'll have better luck than the people before us. [Except not]

Oh, THAT sort of crumble.

Some of us are hard to kill, whatever wiped them out will probably have a harder time with some of us.

Maybe. But, you know, everyone's going to get tired eventually. They're going to break. And there may be a couple of you who keep it together. But, is that really going to be enough?

[waving his hand]

You know, as much as I love talking about people's inevitable downward spiral, I'm getting bored.

You really need to watch more. One, I know weak hearts, and there's not a lot here.

Two, there's a lot of fighters here. Young fighters, but really, really good fighters. Which means it's not easy to kill them. More likely, they died fighting something they couldn't win, but they kept fighting anyway.

Those who break completely are gonna be in the minority, along with ya.

Tch. What do you mean "along with me?"

[I'M ALREADY BROKEN THANK YOU -- I mean no way I don't break.]

Well, isn't it obvious?

If things crumble around here, those without the special powers or aren't extremely skilled in combat are going to die. So, those like ya.

So if ya've accepted yer death that easily, yer gonna be easy to break if yer not already.
