"Charging ahead blindly only works when you have a goal." That sounds kinda wise, doesn't it... Personally I'm the charging ahead type, but I was always charging ahead on a narrow line. That's a good metaphor, isn't it? I've decided to stop trying to force it. If I'm really apparently so mature and not-seventeenlike, I can't ruin it by acting ( Read more... )

duty, using lots of words to say little, manaka tomoo, maora, pointing out the obvious, shirou kamui, haruno sakura, anemone, furude rika, aragaki shinjiro, slow to figure things out

What is it?

[locked] earthsmasher February 21 2009, 11:11:55 UTC

I don't think I'm fit for that kind of responsibility... Hell, I know I'm not! I can think of many people who'd agree with me on that.

I'll find out as soon as I talk to Dr. Weaver.

I guess that's what makes a leader, though? Not wanting it, but doing it anyway.

There's not a huge rush.

[locked] earthsmasher February 21 2009, 11:22:07 UTC

There's a lot of people out there who'd do much better at it than me.

I know, but I'd really like to know. There's someone else whose chip I promised to take out ages ago, and it'd be nice if I was close to getting my own removed.

[locked] shockinglycool February 21 2009, 11:23:18 UTC

Like who?

Well, that's true. But I can't say for sure either way, so.

[locked] earthsmasher February 21 2009, 11:26:55 UTC

Like... Anyone!

It's still worth looking into. There's been enough time, I wouldn't be surprised if they know.

[locked] shockinglycool February 21 2009, 11:30:17 UTC

I disagree.

Yeah, it has been a while, hasn't it? They might be keeping quiet about it for a reason...

Re: [locked] earthsmasher February 21 2009, 11:32:05 UTC

Ask around, and you'll find them.

That's what I'm guessing. I think it's what usually happens...

[locked] shockinglycool February 21 2009, 11:33:04 UTC

Yeah, but you're already refusing.

It's not a bad plan... keeping it a secret. Hm...

[locked] earthsmasher February 21 2009, 11:38:43 UTC

What's that supposed to mean?

Yeah... This chip thing can be really tricky and stressful. When I was first started working with them, we'd just seek out people we knew would be useful and have them promise to lay low. That's how I got mine out - I'd mentioned having healing abilities.

What if everyone says they're bad leaders? For that matter, the sorts of people who eagerly say "Oh, I'd be great at it," is that really the truth?

That makes a lot more sense. Powers are dangerous. But it makes me feel bad about asking...

[locked] earthsmasher February 21 2009, 11:46:14 UTC

Then you ask who they think would be a good leader. People have to agree that you're a leader for you to be one, right?

As long as you're not going to abuse the information or your power, I see nothing wrong with it. I wouldn't agree to this if I didn't think you getting your abilities back would be beneficial to everyone.

[locked] shockinglycool February 21 2009, 11:48:09 UTC

I just asked you, and you said "anyone else."

You don't even have to tell me where it is, if you find out and take mine out. I heal really fast; I might not be able to tell. And while I'm grateful, and don't mean to make you change your mind, you don't know it will be a benefit, or that I'm not lying. For all you know, I'm evil. For that reason, I can see why it's better to refuse.

[locked] earthsmasher February 21 2009, 12:02:47 UTC

Well... I had a friend who I thought was very effective at her job, but she's gone now. Her methods were pretty unorthodox though.

I don't think a leader could ever work well here, no matter who it is. We all come from completely different backrounds and have different ideals on how everything should be solved. Like... I come from a shinobi village, so my idea of government is very different than what a lot of people here know. However, I do believe having a diverse council of trustworthy authority figures could be useful.

It's alright, I'm not worried about that. As for you being evil... It's always a possibility, huh? You could say the same about pretty much everyone else though, and it'd be impractical to deny everyone because of the slight chance they could be secretly crazy.

[locked] shockinglycool February 21 2009, 12:06:45 UTC

I don't know. I end up wanting a leader out of laziness; I like having someone to follow, y'know? But of course you're right.

Actually, in a way, I guess it could be practical to deny everyone. Just not very popular.

[locked] earthsmasher February 21 2009, 12:12:16 UTC

Sometimes I wish Shishou would show up and just take over the place... It'd certainly make things a lot easier.

Some of the most dangerous killers we've had were able to remove their chips themselves somehow. In that situation, they'd have a distinct advantage over people who could fend them off in an emergency. Plus, there's always the monsters. The way things are, we have a lot of people to defend everyone if something goes wrong.
