[Early, early in the morning, a Gear switches on by accident, showing Raven and Atka in the wooded area not far from Cherrygrove city. Those familiar with the surroundings may recognize that the traveling group will reach there within the day ( Read more... )

That's... a pretty interesting way to work out.

[At the sound of a familiar voice, Raven calls for a break.]

I have found that a bracing spar each morning can do wonders in the long run.

How are you this morning, Dr. Emmerich?

[Video] no_nukes_plz November 26 2010, 00:32:27 UTC

I'm doing well. Getting further each day, it seems.

[To Hal, of course. He obligingly switches to video too, adjusting his glasses.]

I doubt that would work for everyone.

Good to hear.

[He smiles slightly, taking his words as compliments.]

Each species has its own method of propulsion.

[Video] no_nukes_plz November 26 2010, 00:51:16 UTC

...propulsion? I guess that's true... Still, there's not many that could handle something like that. You must be pretty strong.

[Raven draws himself up proudly.]

In FOXHOUND, my weapon was a modified M61 Vulcan cannon. I was the only one strong enough to wield it.

[Video] no_nukes_plz November 26 2010, 01:05:42 UTC

...but the M61 Vulcan cannon weighs 248 pounds, not counting the feed system!

[Huey looks utterly startled and amazed.]

You must be one of the strongest people around to be able to weild a weapon of that strength!

[Video] uses_metaphors November 26 2010, 01:08:48 UTC

I am.

[It's simple fact, really. He was damn good at what he did and what he did was shoot things with an impossible gun.]

[Video] no_nukes_plz November 26 2010, 01:11:24 UTC

You're an incredible man, Mr Raven.

[Huey is honestly rather fascinated.]

[Video] uses_metaphors November 26 2010, 01:25:50 UTC

Merely a strong one.

Each ant has its purpose, after all.

[Video] no_nukes_plz November 26 2010, 01:42:27 UTC

...sorry, but I don't believe in that kind of thing.

[Video] uses_metaphors November 26 2010, 03:24:28 UTC

You do not believe each person is crafted to serve a greater purpose?

[Video] - Can't sleep? no_nukes_plz November 26 2010, 03:26:15 UTC

...no, I don't. I don't believe in fate.

[Video] - So tired, but sleep won't come uses_metaphors November 26 2010, 03:44:06 UTC

[Raven is quiet, thinking out his words carefully.]

Fate is the path we mortals choose to follow. It is inescapable because our own will has us travel it.

Some may see the most likely path, or the paths that all lead to the same destination, and call that fate, but there are always other journeys that may be undertaken.

[Video] - Awwwwww... /hug no_nukes_plz November 26 2010, 05:12:29 UTC

So fate is... chosen? Doesn't that go entirely against the traditional view of fate?

[That's actually a pretty interesting point of view.]

Re: [Video] - /Sets the idea of sleep aside in favor of late night ice cream uses_metaphors November 26 2010, 05:20:15 UTC

It depends on which tradition one takes the view from.

Many philosophers have debated the concept of fate and free will for ages.
