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?

That's kinda why you'd prepare in case events that could cause that came up so you could preempt them.

Oh. So you're a psychic then?

[He's....pretty non-plussed sounding at that, Raz.]

Good point. And I guess if you were immortal you would get pretty good at planning things, too.

Yep, I'm one the best. [braggedy-brag brag-brag.] Does your world have psychic powers?

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

You would. You would be amazing.

Yeah, actually.

But you don't have Psychonauts? Then who trains the psychics? And what happens if somebody tries to use their powers for evil?

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

No one trains there. They're there, but there's really, really few of them.

...Well, I take that back. There's really few in the country I'm from. They're more common from Mu, and I think they have like, friggin' dojos and great old masters who teach them there.

Then they just friggin' band together and go after them. It's rare when something big enough shows up to actually be dangerous. I don't think we've had a war where I'm from in...centuries, really.

[ra-ra-razputin.livejournal.com]

No wars? Man, you guys are lucky. There's always somebody trying to take over the world, or kidnapping some important politician, or threatening to blow up the moon where I come from. There's a lot more psychics, but there's still lots of people who think we're all freaks.

Jeez man, at least your world sounds interesting instead of the pollyanna shiny-shine of mine. It gets really, really boring otherwise after awhile.

Really? I mean, we only have a few psychics, but we pretty much accept them.

[ra-ra-razputin.livejournal.com]

Hey, I bet your world's plenty interesting!

It would probably help if most of the people who tried to take over the world weren't psychics that went crazy. That... happens sometimes.

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

Only sometimes. Most of the time it's crap.

....Guess that doesn't change then.
