... "Even the master is a student all his life." Isn't that how the saying goes? This is simply a more literal way of interpreting it.

Very well, then. I accept your challenge.

But you might allow me to finish my own work first, don't you think? At least to return to Contigo. They may need my aid once more before the end, and... at any rate, it has been a very long time since I was there.

It doesn't work that way. A shiny new campaign setting comes along, and you're lucky if you're shipped in there and not just shoved to the bottom of a stack of memories and soda stains.

[neijing]

[............

they're speaking the same language, but...]

What do you mean?

[greatcleavage]

To put not too fine a point on it, you can't go home again. We don't matter to them, and if our goals and ambitions don't entertain them...

[neijing]

... Then we are discarded. Hm. Yes, I suppose there is something to that. But I don't believe you're right, that we don't matter. If not, why would they bother telling our stories at all?

[greatcleavage]

It's the difference between a toy and a person. We matter inasmuch as they get enjoyment out of the stories they tell with us -- which aren't the same as 'our stories'. Our wants and needs are of academic interest to them, but if they really cared about them, they wouldn't specifically wreck them for us.

haha this got meta really fast

[neijing]

The same could also be said of those who created us, though. It's an entirely different situation than if we were real people.

Fourth wall, what's that?

[greatcleavage]

I suppose it's not all bad. At least back home I have some happiness and successes to my name.

[neijing]

What sort, if I may ask? You seem like a powerful fighter.

[greatcleavage]

Well... mostly that. I had a girlfriend and the comfort of knowing I'd led a party of standard-issue ragtag misfits to become an effective fighting force against evil.

[neijing]

Hm! Always a noble endeavor. I'll be curious to hear more about your world, once I've arrived.

[greatcleavage]

So long as you help me to adjust to a world whose fundamental underlying laws aren't contained in three core rulebooks.

[neijing]

I will do my best. Consider it a deal.

/regrets nothing

[mywayofhelping]

I'm afraid these people really couldn't care less about any plans you may have. It's quite a nuisance.

/dying seal noise <3

[neijing]

[THIS GUY...... lol these two haven't even met in canon have they. oh well whatever this comm was made for meta]

Then perhaps it isn't so bad after all. [if it's causing him a nuisance too :3]

Yeah he's used to that~

[mywayofhelping]

[Well Jenna implied that they met at some point during the first game so it's not impossible?]

That does depend on what you make of it, yes. [And he's still not phased.]

maybe he should quit clubbin' em then :p

[neijing]

[oh yeah. i am in such need of a proper canon review haha]

What is it that's interrupted your plans, out of curiosity? [not that she expects a straight answer but w/e w/e]

Well he would if they'd quit being in his way!

[mywayofhelping]

[No worries, I've just played them all WAAAAY too many times sob.]

I should think it would be obvious in a place like this. [What was that about a straight answer?]

they can't help it man they just babby seals

[neijing]

That goes without saying. [and maaaaybe just gonna try a little surface Mind Read? you know. just enough to see his profile page. :3a

(operative word "try" sigh)]

But sometimes people have to land their boats to become all-powerful

[mywayofhelping]

Yet you still felt the need to ask?

[Yeah he sees what you're doing thar.] I do wish you people would quit trying to read my mind. In due time, I'll make my thoughts clear enough.
