[RE: THAT SUBTLE EXCHANGE IN THE APP POST]

See? This is exactly why I chose you for that first question.

[sigh] There are easier ways of getting my attention if you want to talk, Yuri.

[swordsandaxesup]

Easier, maybe. More convenient? Not really.

I didn't really want to talk as much as I wanted to just back up my reasoning. In case you were curious.

[capt_moralfag]

I suppose I should just be thankful you didn't break any laws just to get my attention.

...And you're backing up my reasoning for choosing you as well. Not that you needed to.

[swordsandaxesup]

...What kind of criminal do you think I am?

[lawfulgoodguy]

...That's a pretty long list these days. It might actually save time to say what kind you aren't.

[swordsandaxesup]

Then I hope "the kind flamboyant enough to break a window rather than just make a housecall" is on that not list.

[lawfulgoodguy]

Well, it would depend on whose window it was, wouldn't it?

[swordsandaxesup]

A window's a window as far as you're concerned, right?

[lawfulgoodguy]

Just because someone can easily afford to replace it doesn't mean it isn't wrong. And breaking someone's window isn't going to change their way of thinking. If anything, it'll just make things worse.

...But we're not here because you wanted to talk about windows, are we?

[swordsandaxesup]

Nah. Metaphors aren't my thing.

[lawfulgoodguy]

...What is it? Something must really be wrong if you WANT to talk to me about it.

[swordsandaxesup]

You gotta assume it's negative?

[capt_moralfag]

I'd like to think it's not, but...you haven't exactly gone out of your way to talk to me lately unless it was something important. And sometimes, not even then.

[swordsandaxesup]

...

...I know you're as honest as they come, Flynn. Still... I just wonder if you're as convinced of my escaping Hell as you say you are, or if you're saying what you want to believe. [/said with about... half his usual detachment. If that.]

[capt_moralfag]

[that earns him a soft smile]

...I think if someone as selfless as you ends up in Hell, then there's not much hope for the rest of us.

[swordsandaxesup]

[His tone isn't sarcastic -- or anything, really. Just rather flat.] ...The rest of you, who actually listen to that voice in your head telling you when you're about to do something wrong?

However you look at it, it's pretty black and white.
