Practice threading for Distant Skies!

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.

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?

[jurisimpudent]

...No.

[payback]

Oh my!

[jurisimpudent]

I can sit in silent meditation, then.

[payback]

Do you pass much time like that?

[jurisimpudent]

...No. Usually I have books.

[payback]

Your life seems very full of problems, at present.

[jurisimpudent]

I'll resolve every one of them. That's what I do.

[payback]

What will you do then?

[jurisimpudent]

Then I'll go back to my normal life. Do you not plan to do the same?

[payback]

What if she doesn't let you go back?

[jurisimpudent]

That's not possible. I'll ensure that it happens.

[payback]

How?

[jurisimpudent]

I'll...figure it out. You're likewise trapped, aren't you?

[payback]

I've been traveling for a long time. But it's not always so bad. You see some interesting places and meet interesting people.
