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.

[...]

[He would kick you in the balls, but he's not that stupid.]

[So instead you will get a frown, but it will quickly go away.]

I don't break...pal.

Then why are ya so hopeless ya've accepted that any unpowered non-combatant is doomed to die so easily? Because that is what's gonna happen.

If we can't work as a group, if people just break down completely and utterly, all the beasts will come in and eat us.

I mean, we literally got dragons outside the building. And the children of those dragons in here. Along with the lions. And giant spiders with spear legs. So on and so forth.

And if no one is around to make tribute to the gods for purifying the stuff, no food or water.

Surely a smart guy like ya have realized if things crumble, there's no way yer going to survive.

[.......]

[Why is this making sense? NO IT'S NOT MAKING SENSE. This is bullshit is what it is. Then why is he thinking about it? If people were the only problem he could outsmart them, trick them. But nature is mindless and vicious. FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF]

Just, chuckling...wait, no...now he's laughing. Kind of maniacally. And now he's pacing and laughing! Pretty soon he stops pacing and points at Shadow.]

You fucking moron! You don't have any idea what you're talking about! I survive because I'm a fucking genius!

[Watches and wow, you are a crazy thing, aren't you.]

[Also, looking pretty calm.]

Genius doesn't make ya fang proof.

Or purify yer food. Maybe ya can purify water, but all flora and fauna are poisonous.

[Only a little.]

I will find a way. I always do!

[Yeeeah, he's only going to be less rational now.]

...

[Wow, logic breaks you pretty good.]

Well, isn't it obvious what that way is?

[NOPE YOU'RE NOT GETTING ME TO ADMIT TO ANYTHING.]

All I have to do is rely on myself. Whether this place is organized or fallen to shit -- all I need is myself.

Get that through your fucking skull, friend.

How?

[DON'T QUESTION HIM. Why do people question him? His word should be enough!]

Why don't you just let me worry about that.

Because I have a little voice in the back of my head that says 'maybe I shouldn't let people be stupid and possibly get themselves hurt because of it.'

Edited 2012-04-10 05:31 (UTC)

That little voice should learn to mind it's own business, then.

Nope.

[Goes against his whole trying to be a hero thing. Messing with someone is different from messing with them.]

[That is just pissing him off.]

You are very frustrating, you know that?
