[Empiricist]

((Why are we simply assuming that Darnos intends to free him and let him run amok? I mean, for all we know, he might be planning to drag him out of prison and use the continuous electric shocks as some sort of power supply unit.))

<Good point.

But why that wou- on second thought, don't. The possibilities are simultaneously too scary and too disgusting to talk about.>

[Empiricist]

The UAV idly circles Richard because bleh nothing to do.

[IamanElfCollaborator]

Richard wanders around.

[Empiricist]

<*sigh* at this rate, it'll end up as one of those mental variations of Truth or Dare...>

[IamanElfCollaborator]

<It would be more interesting if we got some character driven drama instead of this.

And I'd rather it was someone apart from Selina who gets some self-doubt for a change, at least.>

[Empiricist]

<Is this where I'm supposed to suddenly burst into tears in a paroxysm of emotion or equivalent reaction whilst some sort of hitherto unknown past trauma is revealed?>

<Is this where I'm supposed to suddenly burst into tears in a paroxysm of emotion or equivalent reaction whilst some sort of hitherto unknown past trauma is revealed?>

<No. Although exploring Yuri, or your past, even, might be interesting.

Even Anima might be interesting to see. The bits we do know are that she was Greek or lived in Ancient Greece, and that she has some sort of relative from the Middle East, and that someone important to her died. That's it, really.>

[Empiricist]

<Not much happened in my past, unless spending a significant portion of my life in hospital undergoing tests and waiting to die counts. Then again, I become more philosophical than upset about such matters...>

<I'd elaborate on mine. But then I'd get all angsty.>

[Empiricist]

<Then I'll start with mine. Tell me, per chance, have you ever been in a situation where you thought that you would undoubtedly die? Where you could do nothing but watch the seconds tick by?>

[IamanElfCollaborator]

<Then I'll start with mine. Tell me, per chance, have you ever been in a situation where you thought that you would undoubtedly die? Where you could do nothing but watch the seconds tick by?>

<Yes.>

[Empiricist]

<Now imagine if you were like that from birth, not knowing exactly when you'll die but sure that your life would be cut short... tell me, if in that case, if you had the choice, would you just lie there and die slowly? With no obligations, no commitments just meditating and introspecting? Or would you rather burn yourself out, face greater hardship and misery, face the burden of obligations and cut your life shorter just to have something resembling that pathetically cliched and oh so pointless idea of a life?>

<Personally, the latter.>

[GreatWyrmGold]

<Teamwork. Well that and holding my captors captive forcing them to make me legally free or I'll blow them up>

<Good luck with that. Short of the idiot ball being held by EVERYONE, you're not getting out.>

((Or a simple plan by me. Step one: Get this godsforsaken collar off me.))

<It would be more interesting if we got some character driven drama instead of this.>

((Maybe if we got to a place where we were actually trying to get Nimue back from Angel's parents and/or reunite Angel with her patents or something.))

"Oh um... g-g-good... um... h-how are y-you Nuriel...?" Selina steps out of the room with a small shy smile.

"Fine. Nice to be back, I guess...This is where it all began, you know."
