NIETZSCHE; DEAD PHILOSOPHERS' INBOX

[explosivecombat]

[TEXT; LOCKED TO doitrockapella]

The offer for conversation is always open, should you desire to take me up on it; I can't guarantee that I'll respond immediately, nor will it necessarily be the response you want, but I'll always respond in some way.

In the name of enlightened discourse.

[explosivecombat]

If nothing else, I respect you.

[doitrockapella]

And are you waiting to see if I'll change this world?

[explosivecombat]

I suspect that in some ways you already have.

[doitrockapella]

And in others it's only a matter of time.

Speaking of which, it's about time you got back to focusing on that important piece of business I've been interrupting.

[explosivecombat]

If I didn't know any better, I'd think you were trying to get rid of me.

[doitrockapella]

Or I'm provoking you into prolonging the conversation.

[explosivecombat]

As though I would be opposed otherwise?

It's a bit of a slow day; I've got a bit of nefarious plotting yet to do, but I've done such a good job with those angle calculations that I've been allowed an early break.

[doitrockapella]

You might grow bored of these petty games. Isn't that the traditional villainous line?

[explosivecombat]

You've actually been very sporting in not shouting at me about how I'll never get away with this, so I think I can hold myself back.

[doitrockapella]

Please. A remark like that wouldn't just be clichéd; it'd be downright ignorant.

[explosivecombat]

While I won't argue with you, I have to wonder what makes you take that stance.

[doitrockapella]

It's mostly the word "never". Given your previous record, I have every reason to believe in your competence at what you do.

[explosivecombat]

I suppose I'm flattered. Competence is something I pride myself on, after all.

[doitrockapella]

It doesn't pay to get caught up in those kinds of absolutes. Too often it's just an invitation to be proven wrong.
