11. aimless as ever

[sword_boy]

I think I may have spent a little too much time in the Underground.

It's incredibly quiet down there. Apparently everything down there is still scared of me.On an interesting note, I have a ton of papers from some Ohtori Academy from a previous curse... Everyone apparently has good grades... but the discussion of history is incredibly interesting

Quiet?

[sword_boy]

Quiet as in, there's nothing there.

It's like a Death came through and touched everyone there. Wait, not the right simile. It's like everyone up and left because of vacation... or Gojira came scared everyone off...

I don't know why...

[itachi_kunoichi]

That's weird, 'cause the Underground's usually full of stuff.

[sword_boy]

My thoughts exactly!

My first visit to the Underground was loud, and vibrant. Now, it's like the entire Underground is dead.

[itachi_kunoichi]

Huh? Oh, man. I gotta go check this out.

[sword_boy]

Yes! Go and see!

Preferable without me to make it boring...

[itachi_kunoichi]

Why would you make it boring?

[sword_boy]

...because it's like the stuff down there avoid me at will.

Which is strange since I didn't do anything to them. Well, except that time I did an intense training session down there... So many things were defeated by my blade!

[itachi_kunoichi]

I bet you're just bein' paranoid, man.

[sword_boy]

Don't mock the paranoia. When you are stuck in a world which is inherently one big battlefield, paranoia allows you to survive... or go crazy.

[itachi_kunoichi]

. . . Right. You can win in battles without bein' paranoid?

[sword_boy]

It's more about paranoia as being able to predict when a conflict is going to break out...

[itachi_kunoichi]

That still sounds weird.

[sword_boy]

It's something that takes time to learn and understand.

[itachi_kunoichi]

Uh. Okay.

[sword_boy]

...and the wisdom of the wise is further misunderstood.
