Planning on apping at Es War Einmal (canon: Exalted)

[ecoterrorism]

...No.

Absolutely not.

I have already had quite enough experience fighting a battle I don't care for without having to do it on behalf of a nation of people apparently too weak to take care of themselves. At least I can be assured of my current circle-mates having some basic degree of competence. [ ...except maybe Hematite. How much of an idiot do you have to be to pause fighting to waste time asking defeated opponents to "please stop being bad"? ]

And the whole thing is because they're frightened that their precious kingdom will be overtaken by "thorns"? That sounds like a good thing, if you ask me. Not, of course, that anyone ever does.

People depend too much on civilization.

[sorcerous]

If they have their way, the world will burn. It will be choked and consumed, and there will be no people, much less a civilization.

You will have to explain to me how the element of wood is meant to convert to the element of fire. Smoke and fire choke and destroy; it is the nature of wood and of people alike to grow and adapt.

[sorcerous]

Because the thorns are not a plant. They are the manifestation of chaos, out-of-balance and uninterested in compromise.

You view this through your own eyes, but they only betray your ignorance.

[ Intrigued, now. ] You are certain of this? That even in this world I apparently have good odds of being dragged to, chaos gnaws on the edges of Creation? [ Not the Creation she knows, but it's starting to sound remarkably similar in some respects, if that's the case. ]

[sorcerous]

Chaos is set to consume Order.

And Order is creation, here. Of a sort.

/o\ I'm sorry; she's patently awful.

...I see.

The Wyld is not easily combated, even by Exalts. (( excuse her as she just casually tosses around Exalted terminology... )) Though that does not necessarily mean that a cleanse is not for the best.

[sorcerous]

An empty world is so ...

Boring.

I wouldn't want humanity to die. But it might do us all good to have to start from scratch.

...I suppose it's a matter of whether they can be taught to survive the onslaught. As you have so carefully pointed out to me.
