[ Today is a... complicated one for Ardyn, to say the least. No one but him knows why though and he'll likely keep it that way.

He has, however, gotten extremely drunk about it and that lends itself to him asking a query on the Etrayan network: ]


What does fate mean to you?

[ He appreciates now more than ever the auto-correct feature. He should probably invest in some reading glasses eventually, but that'll be a problem for Ardyn-with-a-headache-from-squinting-in-the-dark-at-a-small-screen and not the Ardyn of now. ]

It certainly is.

I applaud your belief that what you do matters even if I disagree. I mean, even Echo and others in power here can't seem to answer our questions. Why would I trust that what we're doing here and our choices do mean anything like they claim?

For the same reason you can choose not to trust. They're all decisions. Either you're here for nothing and no purpose and there are no stakes, you're here for nothing and no purpose and there are stakes, or you're here for some purpose however messy and there are no stakes, or you're here for some purpose however messy and there are stakes. Sure, there's spins on any of those, but what you decide for yourself is all that's going to inform how you act going forward.

So choices. They matter, even if we don't see how they can.

I suppose, in my case, whether there are actually stakes or not wouldn't really change my course. I don't believe there are, but even if I did- I'm convinced my world is better off dead regardless.
