Practice threading for Distant Skies!

[jurisimpudent]

I'll not waste my breath pointing out the utter idiocy of your plans to join this game; such words are, to my way of thinking, trite by virtue of their inevitability. Yes, you - like nearly everyone else - have comparatively limited time. And, of course, you wish to play the martyr over this, agonize and complain, so that others will know just how busy and important you are. I'm not going to enable such self-indulgent behavior.

Rather, I'll merely tell you this: if you think you're so utterly and terribly busy, if you think that you've so little time, then don't waste it further with whining. Instead, make it count. I've no use for someone who will dither rather than be a productive member of society.

Comments

[payback]

Don't you have anything to say for yourself about where you're going?

[jurisimpudent]

Why would I have comments on a place I've never been?

[payback]

Don't you have feelings about being sent someplace unsolicited?

[jurisimpudent]

Hmph. Of course I have feelings, but what use would it do to express them?

[payback]

None at all... though most do anyhow.

[jurisimpudent]

Well, I am not one of those sorts of people. And, in fact, I have little regard for those who are.

[payback]

Why?

[jurisimpudent]

"Why"? Do you truly think there's any value in hearing people prattle on about what they feel? Sentimental nonsense!

[payback]

That's a bit cruel. Sometimes people probably just want to talk about it or commiserate.

[jurisimpudent]

Hmph. Then they can waste their own time doing that. Not mine.

[payback]

Fair enough, I suppose.

[jurisimpudent]

...Name?

[payback]

Asano Rin. Hello.

[jurisimpudent]

A belated greeting. Why are these questions relevant to you?

[payback]

I'm curious. And you're talking and anyone who sees it and wants to is allowed to talk back to you.

[jurisimpudent]

...I know they can. I just don't see what was so fascinating, that you did so.

[payback]

I just felt like it. It didn't inconvenience me or do anybody any harm.

[jurisimpudent]

But as a result, you have a bit less time.

[payback]

So?

[jurisimpudent]

So you've gained nothing from that lost time.

[payback]

There's not much else to really do. For you either.

[jurisimpudent]

I - There's plenty for me to do!

[payback]

Yeah but she's got you here and you're stuck here until you're not. So you probably don't have much to do until then.

[jurisimpudent]

I can do...a number of things. I could...read.

[payback]

Have you got a book?
