Well, isn’t that lovely - hundreds of souls packed all nice and neat in a sardine box of a City, the playthings of deities. Someone *does* have a sense of humor, don’t they ( Read more... )

I assure you, we are not all of us entirely thrilled either.

Fun? T'ch. You shall have no luck there, either. Do you know they lack any sort of recognizable theater program?

Not so much a patron of the arts, myself. An inspiration! -- but not a patron.

An inspiration?

Bold of you to say. To whom?

Some guy named Will. Never really paid *that* much attention. He got a lot of things wrong, you see -- but his heart was in the right place, if you like cliches.

It's not like I can sue him now, anyway.

Hmn. Trying to imitate life was likely his first mistake. The baser truths of life are rarely worth repetition on the stage.

Why stop at suing? Imprisonment is much more effective.

To give him some credit, some lives *are* more interesting than others.

Imprisonment? Were we wronged in the past?

True. But do you not think we should focus on higher pursuits than simply mimicking what we see before us?

You could say so, perhaps. I have been somewhat eager to exercise the power of government to relegate annoyances to my dungeons. I consider poor performances to be a wrong.

...You are not at all worried, finding yourself here?

Ah, a philosopher! What would you suggest as such lofty pursuits? Eternal life? Gold from a stone?

Annoyed, certainly. Worried? I'm rarely worried.

Hm. What of... love? More valuable than gold, and that which persists eternally.

Admirable. I am sure that many would be eager to learn how not to worry.

Love for eternity, hm? Such a romantic notion.

[Oho, did Puck make a pun??]

I've been around a while now, and I've never found it.

Would not worrying also be considered a lofty pursuit?

((ooc: Whoo, a fan! ;) ))

Clever. Do you think it foolish, then?

[pauses]

I doubt it. From what I have seen, worry depletes one's reserves, and gives very little in return. I would like to be rid of the emotion entirely.

[ooc; You know it. :3 You're a tempter, too, man. You're just lucky the apps are closed for a bit. XD]

Merely saying I've never found it, and I have my doubts. People *do* get tired of each other, after all.

And reeeeeee~ally?

((ooc: *feigns innocence* They're open for a few more days yet. ;) And are we tempting Puck to correct your character's plight?))

A shame... And perhaps you are too much a realist to make a good romantic.

Yes. I doubt such a thing could be taught, however.

[ooc; unfortunately I spent this week on this guy here. ;.; I shall use the spare appless time to rewatch the series, though! And as for the latter, oho, maaaybe. Kolya isn't entirely won over as to the existence of magic, but I wouldn't put it past him to commit to a Faust. It's all in Puck's delivery. >3]

One of life's little pleasures lost, I suppose.

It just so happens that I *might* be teaching.

((ooc: Watching the series is always a good pursuit. ;) Meanwhile, though, Puck may try to bait, but he won't necessarily ask, which is why I wanted to make sure it's good with you before he gets too excited.))

If it does not bother you, then it will not lose me any sleep, either.

Are you. That is very convenient, sir. And what do you charge for your lessons?

[ooc; Ack, sorry this is late, I was sitting on it a while without realising. Puck can tease all he wants, or anything else, I'm cool with it. XD]

Excellent!

For such a simple little thing? Nothing at all, really! For what a flood of self-help books will bury you in, I'll give you one *eensy* little rhyme. The satisfaction practically pays for itself.

((ooc: All right, I think he's warming up, then. ;) ))
