So. Okay.

I can't be the only one finding this hysterical, right? I mean you all do get what's going on?

It doesn't really matter which one we choose, we're getting used. It doesn't really matter if we pick Lucy or the Postman or whatever. We're just being screwed around with either way for the other to get what they want.

And you know? Even if we do pick the Postman? No guarantee we get to go home, or leave, or whatever. As far as we know what the guy summons may be something just to kill all of us. Lucy's a godawful little witch, but at least we know where we stand with her most of the time.

Really, I just think it's going to be awesome to see what happens next. So, which one of the two are you morons going to let yourself be tugged around by and side with?

You know. That's a good point. But you're missing something in your argument.

[arslansenki.livejournal.com]

And what would that be?

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

You're forgetting the fact that I don't care.

[arslansenki.livejournal.com]

[A deep breath]

What are you, five?

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

Clearly older then you. Did this have a point, aside from trying to change the opinion of someone who isn't going to change it?

[arslansenki.livejournal.com]

The point was you decided to act as if everyone shall make the same decision, despite the fact you obviously don't know everyone.

And I somehow doubt you're older than me. At least not mentally.

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

Oh. So you're just personally offended. That's cute. What I'm saying is based around what's happened before. This is what always happens when this occurs, and apparently had happened once before this, although in a different package. It's simply going on a tested and proven hypothesis. I never said everyone would. Just the majority.

Try again. You're the one thinking at a kindergardner level. I don't care what you think, nor do I need to. Why do you seem to think you're going to make me change my mind here?

...The 14 y/o side has come out some

[arslansenki.livejournal.com]

Because I obviously have a lot more faith in people as a whole. I also don't think it's helpful, even if you're correct, to try to spark the fire even higher.

So, no, you don't have to change your mind. However, I don't see why it is you have to go and add fuel to the fire.

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

Faith in others is idiotic. People, by their nature, are chaotic, fickle, and unreliable. They're easily manipulated. Just like you're showing yourself to be. After all, you responded in a way entertaining to me, just like I wanted.

Because it amuses me. And I might as well do it one last time before I buckle down and help you idiots.

[arslansenki.livejournal.com]

[Frowns even if Pokey can't see it.]

So you enjoy getting others to scold you? To disagree with you? Why?

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

Beeecause it's funny? And usually, they're idiots like yourself. You act like you do not because you want a chance to show off just how much better of a person you are. It give you an excuse to. And that's all you really want when someone says something like this: to prove you're a "good" person.

[arslansenki.livejournal.com]

I know I'm a good person, so I have no reason to prove it. [This is said with an air of assurance] I say what I believe, because that is who I am.

Besides, if I wanted to show off, I could point out a contradiction in your speech.

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

The fact that you need to say it proves you don't feel that way. Why do you HAVE to say it?

[arslansenki.livejournal.com]

Because that is how others will understand me.

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

Others should be able to understand you by your words and actions, not just by what you proclaim yourself to be.

Have you ever even talked to another person before now? You should understand that if that's the case.

[arslansenki.livejournal.com]

Says the boy with no faith in people, yet who has enough faith they'll rise to his antagonizing.

[Obviously this is said to draw away from issues Arslan is not in the mood to deal with presently.]

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

Bad point. There's a difference between faith and something I've seen proven time and time again, and thus becomes fact.

[arslansenki.livejournal.com]

Ch... I still don't see how antagonizing is going to help, especially since you claim you'll end up helping anyway. Strategically, isn't it best to have more allies rather than enemies?

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

Anyone who wouldn't be my ally simply for some jostling is an idiot and deserves to die. If you're not willing to work together during a life or death situation, where even is screwed if you don't work together, just because of an insult? That person is incompetent.

[arslansenki.livejournal.com]

That isn't what I mean. I agree to that.

However, coming on the tail of that... Whatever you call it, people are probably feeling somewhat raw. At least those who may not have yet been able to comprehend this place likes to play tricks, and hoped for a way out. I am lucky that I've had people to tell me, but I doubt all have.

Once that hope is shattered, they're angry and hurt. Even if they may normally have calmed down and taken a tempered stance, any vindictive words could cause them to side with the people you don't wish them to.

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

If they chose to do that, then it proves their stupid. No loss there.

[arslansenki.livejournal.com]

No. Our loss. Even one can change the outcome of a battle.

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

No one of any actual skill would leave because of a simple insult. And if they did? They've already proven they're so thin-skinned that they'd be an easy target to take out. Because if they're going to leave, there's no reason to treat them as an ally anymore.

And for someone who professes to have faith in people, you sure do worry about a simple word immediately influencing them and that'd they'd act like stupid little children.

[arslansenki.livejournal.com]

I may have faith in people, but I also understand them. Can you say the same beyond how foolish they are or how easy it is to manipulate them?

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

All that's needed to understand about them.

[He's starting to understand more, but like hell he's going to admit that to a complete stranger. Especially an incompetent one.]

Also...that isn't what I'm said. Because your statements contradict itself. They show you don't have faith in them, because you recognize their fickle nature. Sure love your contradictions.
