This place really is just incredibly strange. The weapons shop didn't accept my gp and when I asked about alternate methods they just directed me to the job listings instead of offering a quest or something

. . . Quest.

Tell me. Does your world include any or all of the following: character stat sheets, character classes, NPCs, PCs, weapons with numeric modifiers, fetch quests, quest items, Bags of Holding, superglue, and most importantly, Red Mages.

[great_cleavage]

Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, and mages who wear red, sure, but I suspect that's not what you're actually asking.

[thelostseraph]

. . . It was both his name and his class.

Hmph. I suppose this means he wasn't delusional after all. That, or your entire world bears the same mental affliction, but that seems doubtful.

[great_cleavage]

I wouldn't call genre savviness a mental affliction.

[thelostseraph]

. . . Genre what? Is this the belief that we live in a world within a game governed by numbers?

[great_cleavage]

Savviness. And it's not a belief, it's more of a sense. I don't need to believe that tree is over there, I can see it. By that same merit, I don't need to believe I have Skill Points when I can feel that they're there.

[thelostseraph]

Perhaps you have spent too many of those in Suffer: Hallucination. I do not know how you people manage to live this way.

[great_cleavage]

I don't know how you can live without them! It must waste so much time to have to practice all your skills instead of just putting skill points into them.

[thelostseraph]

There is more to life than inputting a series of numbers into a database and calculating equations.

[great_cleavage]

Well, of course there is. There aren't any rules for falling in love, for example, and it'd be a pretty sad life without that.

[thelostseraph]

Love . . . ? Hmph. That is the least of my concern.

At the very least, you appear to believe in gods. Are they governed by these same numbers?
