Your worthy vessel? What are you expecting? To float in luxury?

[prefers_chess]

I'll settle for floating in general.

[adamantined]

You're making an exception? I guess times really are getting bleak.

[prefers_chess]

Sacrifices must be made when the end of the world is nigh.

[adamantined]

I guess it's better than a bunch of geese and some mythological creature.

[prefers_chess]

That was not the end of the world.

[adamantined]

I would've thought a girl liking you could be the end of the world, but I guess it kind of pales in comparison to the whole flood threat. Are you going to go and help build?

[prefers_chess]

How nice to know that I am one of the harbingers of Armageddon. I'll add that to my list of credentials.

I don't do forced labour.

[adamantined]

I meant more that it could be the end of the world for you, but if you want to go around telling people you're the anti-Christ or something, I'm not about to stop you.

Technically if you decided to help it wouldn't be forced.

[prefers_chess]

I feel it will give a unique flair to my future applications to university.

True. Unfortunately for the construction effort, I don't do regular labour, either.

[adamantined]

You're planning on applying to University of Hell? I bet their football team is on fire.

What kind of labor do you do? Just for future reference. You know, in case we're supposed to build some other Biblical thing.

[prefers_chess]

Close. U of T.

I am an excellent supervisor.

[adamantined]

Sounds a little too cold to be Hell.

You're an excellent observer. There's a difference.

[prefers_chess]

They do claim the ninth circle is a frozen wasteland.

Nobody ever lets me put my unique qualifications to good use.

[adamantined]

You knowing so much about this is starting to scare me.

Sure they do. Your unique qualifications are... being how you are. I'm pretty sure people let you put those to use every time you open your mouth.

[prefers_chess]

It pays to research your future institutions of higher learning well in advance.

Marvellous. And since being how I am means abstaining from labour of any variety, I now have an ironclad excuse to never participate in any such activities.
