ETERNAL QUESTIONING

[shinsengumi]

Who are you? What do you believe in? What do you stand for?

Or, this.

[fairestofstars]

Is it possible to know the truth without challenging it first?

Of course. I am the truth.

[daughterofsand]

[Giving you the sourest look right now.]

[aasimar]

Is that so? My experience with truth shows otherwise.

[swordsworn]

[OBSERVING THE ABOVE...]

Now there's a confident little stick of a man...

[spiderclimb]

Which is worse, failing or never trying?

You've always gotta try, right...?

[aetas]

I think you did right, Malis.

[contagion]

Damn right, good girl.

[royaux]

Which is worse, failing or never trying?

To never try is a failing in and of itself. It just becomes a private failing no one else is able to see rather than a public one open to judgement.

[enforcehiswill]

[If you could see Larsen's headache over this question, you might now see it visibly lessen. Oh, to be capable of articulation. Or thought.]

[royalwarden]

That's true. Sometimes I'm not sure which of those is worse...

[prophesy]

Which is worse, failing or never trying?

Failing.

[secretkeeper]

So that's why you always try so hard.

[secretkeeper]

Would you be willing to reduce your life expectancy by 10 years to become extremely attractive or famous?

Who needs to? I'm already extremely attractive~

[phantasms]

Dumbass.

[cordiality]

Would you be willing to reduce your life expectancy by 10 years to become extremely attractive or famous?

Um... just the life expectancy, or your definite life span? Might you still live as long as most people?

[contagion]

Really, Kris?

[fideles]

Would you be willing to reduce your life expectancy by 10 years to become extremely attractive or famous?

I don't think so. That's just too steep a price for the prize.

[barter]

Glad to see your grasp of value, Laurence.

[evanesce]

If you knew that everyone you know was going to die tomorrow, who would you visit today?

My brother. I'd find him. I'd have to.

[wishfuldreams]

That's admirable... I'm sure you'd find him. I hope so.

[costofpeace]

If you knew that everyone you know was going to die tomorrow, who would you visit today?

...

[raptorial]

Would you go find him, Hassan?

[divisible]

If you knew that everyone you know was going to die tomorrow, who would you visit today?

That can't happen.

[divisibly]

But who would we visit? We don't have anyone else.

[cougar]

If you knew that everyone you know was going to die tomorrow, who would you visit today?

Oh... That's a terrible thing to consider.

[spiderclimb]

It's hard, isn't it? I guess I'm lucky that my important people are all in one place.

Seems like a weird sort of lucky though.

[voiceofdragons]

If you knew that everyone you know was going to die tomorrow, who would you visit today?

[Looking rather distraught, as though there's something she desperately must say and is unsure how.]

[phantasms]

What's your problem?

[regeneration]

Would you rather lose all of your old memories, or never be able to make new ones?

No, no, don't. Don't make me choose this. I don't want to do it again.

[bloodbath]

...

[heterodox]

Would you rather lose all of your old memories, or never be able to make new ones?

Given the breadth of knowledge you'd be asking me to surrender, I must take the sensible route. An old man should be accompanied by his old memories, it seems.

A shame, though, to be forced into such a position.

[lichlike]

You suggest you've a great wealth of knowledge, suggesting you are a man of intelligence. Surely, therefore, you see the value in a temporary surrender hastening future gain?

Bearing in mind that knowledge is infinite, of course.

[aasimar]

When is it time to stop calculating risk and rewards, and just go ahead and do what you know is right?

Oh, there's never a safe time for that.

[warprofiteer]

Oh, but dear. They want you consider the right thing. Doesn't it just make your heart ache?

[archfiend]

When is it time to stop calculating risk and rewards, and just go ahead and do what you know is right?

... Hah.

[favoured]

When is it time to stop calculating risk and rewards, and just go ahead and do what you know is right?

... It's one of those things you're just supposed to know, when the time comes. No one teaches you.

[bloodbath]

You would say that.
