We're all just posing questions to each other for fun, right?

Then, is immortality wrong for mortals to experience?

[mostdangerousbird]

The word isn't the problem. You don't need to play semantics with me.

Why are you asking about it?

[banworthy]

But it's a fun game to play.

[ He chuckles. ]

Just curious about people's thoughts on it, of course.

Why else does anyone ask anything?

[mostdangerousbird]

It's a fun game to win.

[ It's a frustrating game to lose or draw at, which is usually why Tim plays it, but he's not interested in giving vsmith what he's looking for. Not fun, and not a real answer either.

You ask questions for two reasons: information-seeking or conversation-steering. Tim thinks it's the latter. So they'll go with subreasons. ]

Boredom, I guess. Compulsion for some. Societal expectations of polite conversation.

[banworthy]

Oh, I agree.

[ Maybe because he just enjoys being irritating, who knows? It might just be a problem with his personality - but he isn't going to take the time to analyze that ever. ]

That's all still a level of curiosity in knowing someone's answer.

All the same, you seem very worried about - what is it you said? - meta-people and how they're treated? Does that mean that you're also someone that's [ Heh. ] special?

[mostdangerousbird]

That's the real question, isn't it?

[banworthy]

And no answer for me? How heartless.

[mostdangerousbird]

Oh, I'm definitely not Heartless.

[banworthy]

... did you cut a heart out of somebody?

And now Tim thinks he's from Bludhaven.

[mostdangerousbird]

No, I said I'm NOT Heartless.

i know not what that means, but glorious.

[banworthy]

I know.

I was making a joke.

You're not heartless because you have a heart.

It's not as fun when I have to explain my morbid jokes, you know.

[mostdangerousbird]

I know. That's why I made you do it.

[banworthy]

So, you like being thought of as stupid?

I guess everyone has their kinks.

[mostdangerousbird]

That's a lot of assumptions. Good luck with that.

[banworthy]

Thanks.

Appreciated, really.

Anyway, now that we're away from that - anything else you want to ask me?

[Video; UN: philanthropist]

[ghostlord]

Not in the least! How else would we learn?

[This is a bad question for him to answer.]

[Voice; UN: swordandcandy]

[cultivatingsin]

No offense, but that's a dumb question! Immorality can't be avoided! We fuck up, learn and do better.

voice;

[banworthy]

Learn what, exactly?

voice;

[banworthy]

What do you mean that it can't be avoided?

That is just living. If you can't do that with a normal lifespan, I'm concerned about how you've been living your life.

[Video]

[ghostlord]

Both sides of the coin.

[Voice]

[cultivatingsin]

Oh wait, shit, did you say immortality? I misheard.

Yeah, I guess you're right. I know some Cultivators manage immortality, so it's not wrong or impossible.

[banworthy]

Well, one's heads and the other's tails.

[banworthy]

It seems I did, too.

[ He was about to get more frantic at the idea it can't be avoided. It can and it should be avoided, okay? Fuck that shit. Immortality is a torment not a boon. Vincent holds his hands out as he calms himself down. ]

Know what now?

[ghostlord]

You know what I mean. What's wrong with getting to know the opposing side? Sacrifices are usually warranted.

[cultivatingsin]

[Xue Yang snorts and then chuckles. Oops! Emotions do cloud things, don't they.]

Cultivators. They're people from my world that fight demons, monsters, ghosts and sometimes chase down criminals.

[banworthy]

Says who? And why?
