This is intolerable.

[Crunch, snap. It sounds like perhaps Erol is ripping into tree bark. In actuality, he's casually dismembering a lobster, because they're the only things he can hurt.]

I think I would rather be onboard. Life support be damned.

[Seriously. He's not been able to race since you people let Jennifer out, and now he can't even

Someone sounds angry.

[psychoticracer]

Do they? Then they have good company.

[oblique_wisdom]

Why don't you go take a look around? It's not that bad.

[psychoticracer]

I have and it is.

It's. Boring.

[Being bored is literally the worst fate Erol could suffer.

Yeah, he never really grew up.]

I HATE not having anything to do.

[oblique_wisdom]

You sound like a child.

[She's not scolding him.]

[psychoticracer]

[NNNNNNNNNNNNNNGH]

It's all very well for you if you like this sort of thing.

But of course, you get along just fine here. So what does it matter how I fare.

[oblique_wisdom]

Was that your attempt of offending me? You're slipping, Erol. Clearly age doesn't improve that.

I still think, however, that instead of complaining, do something about it. Either accept it and be quiet, or do something.

[psychoticracer]

No. Merely pointing out your hypocrisy, Princess. It's quite stunning.

I am doing both, actually.

[He's going to go kill a lobster. A BIG one.]

[oblique_wisdom]

My hypocrisy? I happen to like being off the ship. And unlike you, I'm not much of a racer, although I do enjoy it a bit. But please, explain. I'm so interested.

[Erol is being so bitchy orz]

I'm certain you are.

My point, Zelda, is that you are just as self-interested as myself, though you would like to think you're my better. You enjoy being here, but I don't. My wellfare is not yours, so you don't care about it.

You're no better than I am.

[A true sociopath, he thinks everyone is like him deep down.]

I don't believe I've ever denied that I can be just as self-interested as the next person. I don't place myself on a pedestal. I don't hold myself in a higher regard and I certainly don't look down on other people. If I do, it's not intentional.

[Wait. Why is she explaining herself to Erol? She has no idea.]

I don't think I'm better than you in some ways. I think I might be brought up better, but we're both people. Except I don't go around fulfilling my fetishes by killing others.

[psychoticracer]

You don't? Really. Is that so.

[That's a first. Hmm, the plot thickens.]

Ah, but that sort of thing doesn't interest you.

What if it did~?

What if it was the only thing that made you happy.

If you're really no better than me, and just as self-interested, you would do it.

You're talking about 'if's that would never exist with me. I would never willingly hurt another person without it needing to be absolutely necessary. I would never want to kill another entity unless it had to be done, and even if I did, I wouldn't be overjoyed about it.

You and I see the world through different eyes. Surely you haven't forgotten this, no matter what sort of hold you potentially may have.

[psychoticracer]

Then why do you expect me to be happy with what you enjoy.

[Erol snorts.] As if it makes you better than I when you don't kill people. You don't want to in the first place. How is that any different from me doing what I want?

I haven't forgotten but I wonder if you ever understood.

[She wasn't-- Oh, Erol. You infuriating piece of elf, you.]

What is there to understand? There are differences between us. Not just because of who we are, but because of where we come from. Don't you think I get that? I just think it's not necessarily 'good' to enjoy tormenting other people. No, I'm not going to stop you from doing it, but I'm not going to say that I could be the same way, because I very well can't.

[He really is just horrible.]

Very well then, Princess. I'll not presume that you could be like me, if you don't presume I could be like you... perfectly happy on this backwater slab of dirt where both zoomers and violence are nowhere to be found.

Hmmm~?
