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.

Distinctive...how, exactly?

[explosivecombat]

It sounded like yours.

[doitrockapella]

Then I think I know who it was. And if my guess is right, then yes, he's one of mine.

We spend a lot of time together; that's probably where he gets it from.

[explosivecombat]

It was a bit obnoxiously idealistic in a way that you haven't been in a while with regards to talking to me, but it was an interesting experience regardless.

[doitrockapella]

And that's what reminded you of me, is it? The obnoxious idealism?

[explosivecombat]

I have several fond memories of the obnoxious idealism, thank you.

[doitrockapella]

Well, so long as they're fond ones.

I wonder if he'll learn to debate with you the same way that I did.

[explosivecombat]

You don't mind the idea that he might?

[doitrockapella]

...I didn't say that.

I think it's mostly just pettiness and vague jealousy, though.

[explosivecombat]

...I'm sorry, what?

[Of all things he was expecting, that wasn't one of them.]

[doitrockapella]

...I keep trying to put it into words and it keeps coming out sounding ridiculous every time I do.

I like that this is our..."thing"? Which isn't to say that someone else developing into a talented debater in their own right would devalue it any, which is where the pettiness comes from. I suppose it'd just feel a bit like having my thunder stolen, in a way.

(This is not a not-very-subtle bid to be assured that I'm still pretty, I promise.)
