NIETZSCHE; DEAD PHILOSOPHERS' INBOX

[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.

Since you seemed to want my assistance in coming up with a direction in which to focus your alchemy, I would like a list of your talents prepared for the next time we talk. Nothing too lengthy, however - limit it to five or less. Things that you feel are most vital to you as a person. The discipline you choose won't necessarily be directly related to whatever it is you put down, but it will be influenced by it. Have that ready for me next time.

I would also like to hear your thoughts regarding the concept I mentioned earlier - that brought to us by the Eastern Sage. It's stated between alchemists as "Be thou for the people" - some interpret this as taking a pacifistic stance, at least as far as alchemy is concerned; others have far different interpretations. I want to hear yours.

I think that's enough for now.

Nothing you'll use against me in the future, I hope.

I'll see what I can come up with.

Of course. And I look forward to seeing it.

These lessons will stay entirely between us, by the way; I see no need for my superior officer to know about them, or about you. That hasn't changed any.
