Well enough.

But who knows when I'll strike next?

[tilfrosset]

No one does, I suppose, but perhaps none of us truly care for any of your future announcements.

[niflungr]

You wound me, Miss Warrick. So cruel!

Unfortunately, you'll never hear the last of me. Cheers.

You know it for a fact, do you?

Welcome back!

[ramuhed]

I wouldn't do it if I wasn't certain.

thank you!! ♥

[niflungr]

And what will you do if you are wrong, and you've merely hastened the demise of your beloved Valisthea?

[ramuhed]

If it comes to that then I know we die freely. The alternative, your king's alternative, is all the worse.

[niflungr]

And so you strive for freedom, ignorant of the futility of your struggle.

I pity you, Cid. You once had a place with us. You were so close to salvation.

[ramuhed]

Oh I dunno, we seem to be doing alright so far. You guys on the other hand...

Go on then, I got a few. How is it you think your plan for the world is better one? Surprise me.

[niflungr]

In "our" plan, mankind fulfills its purpose, Cid. What it was created to do. What it was always meant to be.

Conflict. Conquest. All such things are unnecessary. They are born of human greed. But to be bereft of desire — ah, now that is to be without flaw.

[ramuhed]

"Our plan". Can't help but get a laugh out of that one, though to be fair I did use the same words. Didn't have much input on that plan though did you?

And without that desire there's no love, camaraderie, no family. That's not perfect that's boring. Monotonous. Unthinking.

[niflungr]

Oh, I quite concur. I put it in quotes for a reason. It's hardly my plan. It is our master's plan. We are but instruments of its deliverance.

You should know better than to appeal to a construct with words like "love" and "family." What would I know of family?

But then, you always were a strange one. Reveling in imperfection.

[ramuhed]

How quiet your mind must be. Not a single thought in that head of yours. Which does make me wonder, considering you're meant to be doing my job and all.

What can I say? Always liked a challenge. And anything is better than the lifeless existence you lot are aiming for.

[niflungr]

Now, now. You needn't pity me. I do have my moments of effervescent joy.

It's in expecting nothing from this mortal coil that I find so, so much delight in it.

[ramuhed]

You expect nothing because that is what you are told. I very much doubt you even know what delight is or how it feels.

Not an ounce of choice or free will for you.

It's Dion Lee, not Dion Lesage. Relax, Your Highness.

[wyvernstail]

I understand, not that I know who that is.

[Dion is... really simple to buy clothes for as he doesn't pay attention to lables.]
