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.

"Understood"?

What are you doing?

[explosivecombat]

Nothing, Locke.

They're just questions.

[doitrockapella]

What's suddenly gotten you onto this line of questioning, then?

[explosivecombat]

I'm assuming you won't find "morbid curiosity" to be an acceptable answer.

[doitrockapella]

Since when are you ever morbidly curious about how I—

Scratch that. Does this have something to do with the other me you saw?

[explosivecombat]

No, why would it?

[doitrockapella]

You're going to kill Mason Dixon.

Whether you intend it to or not, this is reading as though you had some kind of great revelation that gave you sudden insight into how you feel about me, and now you're beating around the bush in traditional form trying to get me to admit that I like you too.

And I'm fairly certain that's not the case, which is why I'm getting a little perplexed by it all, and the dodginess isn't helping appearances any.

[explosivecombat]

Does it help any if I verify that I'm assessing my own responses here, not yours? This is why I'm saying they're just questions; they have nothing to do with trying to get you to respond a certain way.

I have my own reasons for wanting to kill Mason Dixon.

[doitrockapella]

It helps, but I'm still not sure what you're doing with it. If you want to talk through something, I'm not averse to it; it just helps to know what we're doing first.

I'm being arrogant again, aren't I. You wouldn't kill him for my sake; it'd have to be something he did to you, albeit indirectly.

[explosivecombat]

I'm sure you remember me telling you that I prefer having you as you are, as opposed to having any of your weaknesses exploited; surely you didn't think that was some sort of over-the-top evil monologue. I'm not the only one I wouldn't want doing that sort of thing.

And besides, I could tell what he was trying to do, and he was doing it entirely wrong.

[doitrockapella]

What he was trying to do?

[explosivecombat]

I'm sure you've worked out how things are between my superior officer and myself.

[doitrockapella]

And if he was the superior, then she was the...

[...]

Weapon.

[explosivecombat]

That's what I think, anyway.

[doitrockapella]

And you're offended that he did such a poor job at it?

[explosivecombat]

I'm offended because being a weapon is a choice, not something to be forced on someone. That's not something that can be forced on someone.

[doitrockapella]

There's something I forgot to ask you, you know. About the way you dealt with that situation.

[explosivecombat]

Oh?

Go ahead.

[doitrockapella]

Were you kind to her?

[explosivecombat]

What do you think?

And before you try saying you want to avoid making assumptions, bear in mind that I'm soliciting one.

[doitrockapella]

...I think you were. But in the way that you're kind to your Pokemon.

[explosivecombat]

How do you mean?

[doitrockapella]

Don't make me elaborate on how I think she must've seemed to you.

[explosivecombat]

I had her steal a motorcycle for me.

[doitrockapella]

Where did you get a motorcycle?

Yes, I'm asking because I want one.
