Questions (Phone)

[ceasetoexist]

[At first, there's just silence over the phone, like someone knocked it over and forgot to put the receiver back up. Finally, after a few moments of this and of fake starts, Pokey finally speaks.]

So, with all the stupid age crap going on, I got a question for you people.

If you could stay one age, forever, would you? Or would you choose to keep aging?

Because, I mean, why wouldn't you want to stay the same age, right? I mean, it's pretty much immortality, and you wouldn't really miss out on anything by not getting older or anything. Really, you'd be doing better then them, right? So yeah.

Sorry, stupid question. Because it's not like anyone WOULDN'T take immortality when given the option. Because everyone would choose immortality.

Right?

You don't actually know me, for one.

I once heard an ancient piece of wisdom... "When every life meets another life, something will be born."

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

Too bad what might be born is a monster.

[bestwishes]

I guess, but in my experience, people getting to know each other often tends to enhance both their lives?

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

It depends on the person. Some people are just total jerks who can't be liked by anyone.

[bestwishes]

It can seem like that sometimes, but I don't buy it... No one is completely unlikable.

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

You'd be surprised, then.

[bestwishes]

I've met some pretty unlikable guys before? I knew this guy who abandoned his Chimchar not all that long ago... But in the end, even he wasn't all that bad eventually. Everyone has their good points.

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

Wow.

You most come from friggin' Sugardrop Lane if that's the worst thing you've seen someone do.

[bestwishes]

Well, it's not like that was really the only thing he ever did... But still, everyone has some good inside. But you can't always find it all on your own...

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

And there are some who don't. Maybe a lot of the jerks you know have some soft spots, but not everyone does. Some are just evil.

[bestwishes]

Sorry, but I just don't think I can really believe that?

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

Okay.

Let's say someone created a monster for the sole purpose of destroying the entire world. And was happy that he did so. What would you think of that person?

[bestwishes]

I would think that person has some really serious issues? But that doesn't changed what I have to say.

[I actually knew a monster whose sole purpose was to destroy the world once, and he turned out fine.]

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

.....You're either really, really optimistic or really, really stupid.

[And you remind him of Ness, but he won't be telling you that.]

[bestwishes]

Well, I'd prefer to consider it optimism than stupidity?

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

Whatever helps you get by, man.

[bestwishes]

I've met hundreds of people on my journeys, and most of them tend to be well worth knowing?

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

Then maybe your due for meeting some folks who aren't worth knowing.

[bestwishes]

With that many people out there, I can't believe that I'm somehow just missing the bad and that the overwhelming majority are just good people?

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

Well, your missing the people who are openly bad....

C'mon. There has to be someone you just out and out think is a jerk and hate.

[bestwishes]

'fraid not? Even Team Rocket aren't entirely bad sometimes...

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

Good God, you're like a saint or some friggin' thing.

Whatever. Guess we'll see whatever it is that happens.
