shitposting rave 4: (almost) anything goes

Jezebel shrugs. "Something that happened before he met her, or any of us were born, burned all the idealism out of him, according to my aunt Carla. And he doesn't have a lot of empathy for people who can't communicate with him, which is most people. But he loves us. And he loves her. There is no power in the multiverse that could keep him from going to her immediately with her expressing so much distress. And she was also very dangerous before he met her. Not that she still isn't...but he keeps her from giving herself all up to it. He reminds her, by surrounding her with comforts and luxuries, that she did choose life."

 

Well. We know how that ended.

 

"When it's my aunt and uncle, it's a lot more terrifying than romantic," says Mason. "Also, Eurydice wasn't nearly as dangerous if she lost control of her conscious mind. Lissa was conditioned by the people who raised her to believe that every good thing in life just traps us here in a world of hellish pain. Her people hire themselves out as assassins and consider killing an act of holy compassion. My uncle was the best thing that could ever have happened to her. For all of us. Otherwise, she might do something like help Will break the multiverse--and think of it as doing us all a favour."

 

"Yeah," says Gwendolyn. "All things considered, Lissa being a complete hedonist is a net gain for the multiverse. He should really get her pregnant again as soon as this all settles down."

 

-She snaps her fingers to play some music, not really paying attention.-

 

Alex glances knowingly at Mason, then at @Wilhelm.

"Soooooo," she says, since Mabel's distracted, "what're the odds she's not only conditioned, but also possessed, or at least overshadowed?"

 

i think youre all jumping at shadowvs.

that isnt vwery diplomatic of you.

 

When you're done taking advantage of... current circumstances, I should be grateful if you could point me towards definitions of those three... what are they, states of being? [He has not quite lost the good humor he acquired while talking with @Like a Wave but he does seem rather on edge again.]

[A thin smile.] A being after my own spark.

 

Diplomacy is for when not everything has gone down the shitter already.

 

diplomacy is for alvways.

 

Does politically-motivated assassination count as diplomacy?

 

sometimes. thats howv the current CEO of earth c crockercorp came into powver, of course.

 

No. Fuck no.
Diplomacy is what kept my [translates to brethern, but in a way that implies a hermaphroditic society] locked up in the Sage Hill ghetto at the mercy of the mages.

No, that's called taking initiative.

 

: )

I do hope you've moved past your sort of diplomacy, then.

 

I haven't set anyone on fire yet, so I don't exactly see your point.

 

If 'diplomacy'-- by which I assume you mean the talking sort-- is what keeps your kin at risk, it is time to find new methods besides just talk. Like setting someone on fire, yes.

 

Ah, that's what you're getting at-- (Jhenya, who had initially misparsed Afterglow's interjection as a "be nicer" sort, grins now.)
No, I don't do the talking stuff, the elders did that. Something something the mages are too powerful.

... Now the mages are mostly dead because there's a magic draining mist going about, but I'm still not allowed to set people on fire. It's unfair is what it is.
