ITP: jumping!

[throwawrench]

[Near the edge of the center of camp there is a tree stump. It's probably always been there! Today, however, it is a very ~dramatic~ tree stump. So dramatic, in fact, that should you be passing by you may be seized with the urge to jump up on it and announce yourself dramatically

--And what's most fun for me is breaking things! Mechanical things, but other things too, and since I got this, it will be even more interesting to smash things!

[swings wrench dramatically, and the end catches fire~]

[throwawrench]

Oh? What makes something worth protecting, for you, then? If you protect it, it's just the same as it was before.

[spacelark]

[shrugs] Some things just are.

[throwawrench]

Aah, that's no good! Nothing just is worth something - it is what it physically is, and then it's also what people think about it. You have to think something about something for it to be worth something to you.

[spacelark]

Mmm...

[throwawrench]

And! Rather than finding worth in things on their own, you should find worth in them for how you can interact with them, and for what you can do with them and other people. Right?

[spacelark]

...that's not how it works for me.

[astral_tentpeg]

My my, sad for others~? Why do you say that?

[throwawrench]

Hmm? Because I like it better that way - it's more interesting that way! Seeing people manipulated and meeting their ruin is the best, don't you think?

[astral_tentpeg]

Oh? Admitting to something like that so readily. That's admirably honest of you!

[throwawrench]

Haha, I guess I'm an honest person. People tell me that, anyway! So I guess it must be true, as true as the things I say - as true it can be!

[astral_tentpeg]

Ah, well, honesty and truthfulness can be rather separate concepts occasionally.

[throwawrench]

Separate concepts? Well, yes, I suppose that's true. There's a difference between trying to say things that are true, and saying things that are actually true. Because you might be being honest but be wrong!

[astral_tentpeg]

Precisely, Graham-san! I can see for you they're normally rather similar though. You've been on the money so far~

[throwawrench]

Ha! Thank you. So you think I'm accurate in addition to being honest? I'm flattered. Really touched! But, so, are they that different for you, then, that you would want to comment on it?

[astral_tentpeg]

Ah, I like to think of myself as both honest and truthful, given the right occasion. Of course, that isn't quite how I'm perceived.
