GENERIC MESS HALL POST GO

[capthlock_rage]

[Over in a slightly out-of-the-way corner in the Mess Hall, there is a boy! A boy with a glass of water! And he appears to be studying it very, very intently.]

Does this look half-full or half-empty to you...?

Don't those mean the same thing?

[capthlock_rage]

No.

[anoathkept]

Are you sure?

[capthlock_rage]

Completely.

[anoathkept]

You can worry about that, then.

[capthlock_rage]

You're not interested?

[anoathkept]

Maybe. But if it's about how you feel inside or whatever, I don't really wanna talk about it.

Especially if it's over a stupid cup of water.

[capthlock_rage]

... I guess I can understand that.

[anoathkept]

I'd rather be a little more direct about it.

[capthlock_rage]

It's not that complicated. It's just... are you an optimist or a pessimist?

[anoathkept]

Yeah, I know that already. But why don't you just ask that?

[capthlock_rage]

... Isn't that how you're supposed to ask deep questions?

[anoathkept]

Maybe you can change how they usually do this.

[capthlock_rage]

I always thought you were supposed to kind of trick people into coming to really profound realizations about themselves.

[anoathkept]

I'm usually better about it when someone just tells me.

[capthlock_rage]

Huh.
