What is even the point of becoming close to anyone here, if they can all just leave as quickly as they came?

Oh, sure, let's all play our little games and finish our silly little quests and feel this sense of camaraderie working towards a goal we all damn well know is unaccomplishable. And along the way, we can learn the magic of friendship only to have it taken away by the Rifts without any further explanation.

It would be nicer to believe we were being held to the whims of some vengeful god instead of the unfeeling randomness of the Rifts and their "unknowable" magic.

Then, at least, there would be someone to curse for the cruelty of it.

It sort of rubs off on you, I suppose.

[ In the past, though? Does that mean he's made some changes, too?

It took him a long time to even accept that himself, but now he's just a big soft puppy- ]

That's certainly a lot to disclose when I don't even know the person I am writing to.

[ Yeah. Mr. Anon. ]

[subigito]

Oh.

That was a rhetorical question. I don't actually expect you to tell me anything.

[ he doesn't expect much from anyone, really, hence the general mess of all of this. ]

[gruffier]

[ Yeah Clive is bad at catching onto those things, especially in text. he's still trying to get use to these shellphones, really- but he won't admit it!! ]

Fair enough. Keeping your distance and all that.

Yet your heart seems to be in the right place. It would be a shame for others not to be able to see it.

[subigito]

We've had one tiny conversation over text, how could you possibly know whether my heart is in the right place? I literally just admitted I usually manipulate my way out of problems!

[gruffier]

"In the past", was it? Though you're right. I'm not the one to judge your character.

[subigito]

Well, at least you're quick to agree on that much.

[ I'm so sorry he's like this ]

[gruffier]

[ He's dealt with bigger hardasses. ]

I would have agreed sooner had not seen one post publicly about their grievances towards others. Clearly the work of someone heartless.

[subigito]

It's just a waste of people's time.

[ how did he end up arguing against himself like this ]
