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.

[doitrockapella]

Do you miss me yet?

[explosivecombat]

Your words will tide me over.

[doitrockapella]

Now there's a development. Another ten months and we might just manage to graduate you into outright pining.

But I did want to say thank you. For Christmas.

[explosivecombat]

Which part of it? Spending the day with you, or ensuring you didn't take a flying leap into a volcano?

[doitrockapella]

I had to at least try to get my cube!

[explosivecombat]

Woman, it is an inanimate object.

[doitrockapella]

An inanimate object that loved me.

[explosivecombat]

...Please tell me this is an instance of sarcasm not conveying well through text.

[doitrockapella]

I asked Caroline. Apparently that's what the cubes...do. They exist, and unconditionally love you. And then get thrown into incinerators, apparently.

[explosivecombat]

At risk of repeating myself, they're inanimate objects.

[doitrockapella]

Apparently they also sing, if they get the chance.

I think it's sort of cute, really.

[explosivecombat]

...Did anyone happen to inform you that Caroline is insane?

[doitrockapella]

I did have my suspicions, but I appreciate the confirmation.

It was sweet of you to stop me, you know.

[explosivecombat]

It was hardly sweet - was I seriously supposed to let you jump?

[doitrockapella]

You might've said that I'd made my choice and accepted whatever consequences came of it, so who were you to interfere.

[explosivecombat]

While that's true enough, that wouldn't benefit me in any way - and besides, the logical assumption for everyone in that Center to make is that I pushed you in and I would quite prefer to not have to flee town to evade arrest.

[doitrockapella]

Yes, because god forbid you develop a reputation for being a man who pushes unsuspecting women into volcanoes.

[explosivecombat]

God forbid I do community service for pushing an unsuspecting woman into a volcano - those sewers are disgusting.

[doitrockapella]

Why do you even know whether the sewers are disgusting in the first place?

[explosivecombat]

They're sewers, for one.

If you think no one in the Legion has been down there you are sorely mistaken, for another.

[doitrockapella]

I can't imagine you being put on sewer duty. You're too useful.

Should I be anticipating a need to evacuate?

[explosivecombat]

[...actually...]

Not yet.

[doitrockapella]

[Oh what the hell]

Not yet.

[explosivecombat]

Avoid Fuschia City for the next several days, if you will.

[doitrockapella]

I can't avoid Fuchsia. That's my route back to the mainland.
