As much as I would like to say that I am pleased to be passed over for this particular curse, considering its trying nature, I can't bring myself to do so.  But, then, there is a good chance that's because every vice I've had was left in Gotham.  The money, the women, revenge I haven't found them here, so the City cannot take them away.

Addiction and love are two different things.

[ttly_not_batman]

That's the case many have been pleading. Withdrawal from an addiction can make a person convulse, shiver, become feverish, and quite emotional. Doesn't love have quite the same effect?

[cloudsinstrife]

No.

[ttly_not_batman]

Interesting. Many would say it does have that kind of severe hold over a person. Though, I'll concede that generally it is women who agree on that point.

Have you ever been addicted or in love?

[ttly_not_batman]

I think that's a rather personal question.

[cloudsinstrife]

It is.

...Addiction and love are like two different shades of blue. When far apart, they look the same, but when brought together, the differences are there. It's like how they say love and hate are two sides to a coin. You can love something so much it borders on hate, and it goes the opposite way for hate. It's close, it muddles each other up but they are not the same.

[ttly_not_batman]

...Sounds like you have plenty of experience with all three; love, hate, and addiction.

[cloudsinstrife]

It does.

I'm pretty familiar with them myself. Bruce Wayne, and you are?

[cloudsinstrife]

Cloud Strife.

Where are you from, Mr. Wayne?

[ttly_not_batman]

Gotham City, it's on Earth. Yourself?
