Take the red pill, or the blue pill... [demon slaying 016]

Got a question.

Why aren't there more people trying to bust outta this place? Seriously, is there something in the water supply? We're TRAPPED in a City that we can't LEAVE except by the whim of some psuedo-psychopathic divine whateverthehells and why are so many people okay with this?

Christ, why am I okay with this?!

Haven't a reason to stay, have you?

it's supposed to! XD

[rev_it_up]

And in a minute, I'm sure a perfectly adequate reason to tell a total stranger what you just asked will fall into my lap.

...

...

...

Hmm, nope, sorry.

Let's take it from the top: Who are you?

[voice post]

[foxy_physician]

It was something of a rhetorical question, or one answerable by yes or no--surely you can tell that to a stranger. But since it seems you may just be willing to delve into it once we are acquainted . . .

Takani Megumi. And you are?

[rev_it_up]

Nero.

[voice post]

[foxy_physician]

It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance, Nero-san.

[rev_it_up]

It's just Nero. None of your Japanese honorifics attached, mm'kay? If I wanted to hear 'em I'd have been born Japanese.

So what's your deal, anyways?

[voice post]

[foxy_physician]

But if I dropped the honorific, that would mean that I dislike you. And you haven't done anything to warrant that yet.

Ohohohoho!

My "deal," hmm?

[rev_it_up]

No, it would mean that you respect my opinion regarding honorifics by acquiescing to my request.

As in, why the hell are you dropping in unannounced asking rhetorical anythings?

[voice post]

[foxy_physician]

What exactly do you have against honorifics, anyway?

And did you think that all questions would immediately elicit an answer rather than another question?

[rev_it_up]

Do I need an excuse to dislike something?

Speaking of questions, you seem pretty fond of them. Didn't anybody ever tell you about curiosity and cats?

I had hopes.

[voice post]

[foxy_physician]

Not an excuse--a reason, unless you want it to be an excuse.

No, I haven't been told about curiosity and cats. Do tell?

Mmm . . .

Do you know the legend of Orihime and Kengyuu?

[rev_it_up]

... I'm not Japanese. I don't adhere to their traditions. It's a pain in the ass. Pick one.

People say that curiosity killed the cat, and if you wanna get with the more obscure metaphor, satisfaction brought it back.

My upbringing was a little sparse on legends.

[voice post]

[foxy_physician]

But you're not the one saying it.

Well, since you're so vehement about it . . .

Mmm . . . interesting. Though I haven't quite been called a cat before. What if curiosity is not my sin--rather, mischief is?

To get to the gist of Orihime and Kengyuu, it's about two lovers who only have one day to meet in a year. One chance, or it is lost, and it is another year of waiting in uncertainty, for who knows if they can meet again the following year?

[rev_it_up]

It just doesn't make any damned sense, that's all.

... Mischief. Isn't that worse?

Okay, and? So what?
