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.

I don't know. Blown up the ledge underneath you, maybe, to put you off your footing while I hooked you and pulled you over the side. It wouldn't have been easy; you saw me coming.

But I would've thought of something. Or died trying.

[explosivecombat]

No one died when I was arrested in Amestris, actually.

[doitrockapella]

I wasn't sure if you were going to recognize me, you know. Preoccupied as you were at the time.

[explosivecombat]

"Preoccupied." That's how we're referring to it now?

[doitrockapella]

I'm aiming to avoid being cruel.

[explosivecombat]

Did you think I would kill you?

[doitrockapella]

Not after you told me I wasn't going to die.

Before I knew if you'd recognize me, I might've been collateral damage, if I'd been careless and gotten in your way.

[explosivecombat]

If I hadn't recognized you, you would have been.

I've never been to the point where I don't recognize people anymore, you know. I remember everything that happens when I fight, and everything that I remembered beforehand; I'm not blacked-out or anything.

[doitrockapella]

Well, I know that now. You were doing an excellent impression to the contrary then.

I still couldn't have stayed away, though.

[explosivecombat]

And why is that?

[doitrockapella]

И кто теперь одна ищет лести сегодня вечером?

[explosivecombat]

В том что я буду все отрицать?

[doitrockapella]

Вы были похожи на время грозы. Разрушительным и опасным.

[explosivecombat]

You still haven't seen me at my full strength, you know.

[doitrockapella]

Am I going to?

[explosivecombat]

I don't think you'd want to.

[doitrockapella]

Then why point it out?

[explosivecombat]

Do you remember seeing the energy I was using? Blue in color, wasn't it?

This is relevant, I promise.

[doitrockapella]

I remember. It's what made me think of lightning.

[explosivecombat]

If you ever see me using alchemy and that energy is red rather than blue, don't approach me.

[doitrockapella]

...I'll remember.

What makes it change color?

[explosivecombat]

I believe I've mentioned a few times that there are artifacts that can be used to enhance the power of one's alchemy.

[doitrockapella]

So if it changes to red, you're using one of those?

[explosivecombat]

Yes.

It increases the power I can put into the explosions I create to an unnatural level; without it, I can thoroughly ruin people's day and destroy buildings. With it, I'm capable of leveling cities.

[doitrockapella]

If you're warning me about it at all, then you must have one, or at least think you'll have access to



Wait a minute.
