On returning to amatomnes again.

[kittenwithadegree]

No.

Look, I already did that place once. Twice even. And I'm not going through that crap again. Not only was I bored but I've never seen a bigger collection of whining idiots. "Oh god help, we have to have sex, this is horrible."

As if there isn't worse things that could happen in your life.

Well, at least its having some sort of idea on where to put you somewhere. That's something good at least, isn't it?

[kittenwithadegree]

You consider that place as some idea? I consider it as no idea personally.

[demondogking]

Of course! You have an idea of what needs to be done, you also have an idea on how the ropes work from the sound of things, and most of all? You'll most likely even have little bits of development going on between you and other people!

And who is to say having some experience in a place before hand is a bad idea? So long as you have the know how and the person playing you is going to give you some attention, then I'd figure it would be something good in the end, right? Better than collecting dust in a corner somewhere.

[kittenwithadegree]

... It's kind of scary when you make sense, you know that.

[demondogking]

That just means you aren't either as optimistic as I am, or you don't give me enough credit~.

[kittenwithadegree]

I give you plenty of credit.

[demondogking]

If you say so~

But anyway, even with all of that being said, I take it you're not really thrilled on going back there, huh? Maybe I should come along just to so you won't be so lonely-- ah, but we wouldn't know each other then like this anymore, would we? Talk about a dilemma.

[kittenwithadegree]

With you there, "loneliness" wouldn't be the problem. There's curses and aphrodisiacs in the damn water and-- it's not pleasant, okay?

[demondogking]

Wow. That almost sounded like a bad thing with that first part there, but yeesh. That second part really sounds like a place you'd find in a specific kind of Netherworld out in the Netheruniverse.

[Have a pet at the head, Kokonoe. Maybe even a little ear scratch too with those tiny nubs you have there.]

Either way, I hope and wish you the best of luck. If it's meant to be that you go back, then it's meant to be and you'll know how to handle yourself if and when you get there. And if you don't go back, then that is one worry you won't have to deal with later on. An easy way to look at the bright side of things!

[kittenwithadegree]

[KSAHFDKSJDHF LEAVE THE EARS ALONE!]

Easy enough for you to say!

[demondogking]

[WOULD YOU RATHER ME DO TAIL STROKING INSTEAD THEN?]

It can be easy for you to say too, you know! Just gotta look at things more positively, you know? And I do know you are the type that grabs bad luck at the neck and scream at it until you get some good luck, so there's no reason why you should get worried either, really.

[mad_puppeteer]

I must admit, Kokonoe, I did not expect that exact reaction from you on being sent to such a place.

[kittenwithadegree]

You don't expect a lot of things from me, Relius.

[mad_puppeteer]

This is true and every time you do you never fail to disappoint, Kokonoe.

[kittenwithadegree]

Oh shut up. Really. I'm not in the mood to fight with you.

[mad_puppeteer]

Truly? How very unlike you.

[kittenwithadegree]

Like hell it is. You're the one that always wanted to argue. Or to do things that were...

[She grumps, tails frizzed out.]

No, I'm just not. I'm not going through this with you again.

[mad_puppeteer]

Yet you are the one with the temper. Very much like your Father.

[charge_sword]

I would go as far to say that anyone who considers that to be 'horrible' instead of an inconvenience has no idea what horror is.

[kittenwithadegree]

Exactly. Sure, I don't want to be choked and have to do just anyone anymore than other people. Half of them can't comprehend that things can be far, far worse than a little roll in the hay.

[charge_sword]

I believe it is more the lack of choice, now that you mention it. Most people cannot comprehend a reality worse than being bereft of freedom.

[kittenwithadegree]

[She pauses. Kokonoe isn't exactly crazy about that part of it herself.]

In a way, I think we all lack choice, whether it's in this game or that one or whatever. Not just a choice about where we go to. Even in your own regular life, you lack choice. Sure, there are superficial choices and there are choices about what you do with your life, those kinds of things. But sometimes there are choices you can never have, can never make and those are often the most important ones.

And then you suffer for them. That's what life is.

[charge_sword]

... [Well, when she puts it like that he just has to disagree on principle because he's an idiot he's all 'I make my own fate!' and stuff.]

I think you're wrong. There is no such thing as a choice you cannot make. Even if reaching the desired conclusion is so hard some might call it impossible, it is there all the same.

[kittenwithadegree]

Heh, you're one of those optimistic guys, aren't you.

[charge_sword]

Hardly. But any force that exists must be able to be overcome. So anything that can get in the way can be killed.

[kittenwithadegree]

If it can be overcome or killed, you've still got a choice. But after they're dead and the way is cleared, where is that choice?

[charge_sword]

It doesn't matter. By that time, you have overcome it.

[kittenwithadegree]

Not necessarily. You've overcome one thing, there could be a host of others.

[charge_sword]

They too, can fall.

[kittenwithadegree]

Well at least you're energetic, I guess.

[charge_sword]

Just practical.

[senkon_meiraku]

"A collection of whining idiots"? Shi~~~it, and here I thought you would be happy going to a place like that! Seeing as that all you ever DO!

[kittenwithadegree]

You weren't such a stellar star yourself at not whining while you were there, you know. Different you, blahblahblah, whatever.

[senkon_meiraku]

Another me ended up there? Well what'd he do? What did I do, ack, you know what I mean.

[kittenwithadegree]

He whined and bitched like the others. And was an asshole but really, what did I expect?

And he stole my candy.

[YES SHE'S STILL BITTER, IT WAS AN AMAZING LOLLIPOP AND HE LICKED IT.]

[senkon_meiraku]

I did? Bravo! Kudos to me...wait I didn't eat after I stole from you did I?

[kittenwithadegree]

No! And that's the worst part! If you're going to lick them, at least finish them.

[Hah that's what she said.]

[senkon_meiraku]

I...licked it? Knowing full well what disgusting mouth it come from?? [Well that was a kick in the jewels]

Oh well, or the sake of pissing you off, I guess I'll let that slide. But man, that doesn't make it less disgusting. Uck...I think I need a bath now.

[kittenwithadegree]

Hey, I hadn't even unwrapped it yet. It was the centerpiece of my new collection, okay? You don't eat those!

[Gruff grumbling inserted here.]

Besides, you did a lot more than just lick that. You should just nuke yourself now if you think that's disgusting.

[Actually, no he didn't. But she did spend on evening shoving him out of a basement window so that counts, right?]

Whoops, that reply derped for a minute

[senkon_meiraku]

Ohh! It was wrapped, I see. Pheeewww, and here I thought I just swiped it from that thing you call a mouth. Boy, you had me worri--wait I did more? Hmmm...Do I wanna hear this? Ah hell, why not? It's not the me right now is experiencing it.

[kittenwithadegree]

I'm not going into any details, okay. Last thing I want to do is relive that bullshit.
