...well, yeah, but... there's something about it that just feels wrong when it could be preventable...

[battling]

Think one person can prevent all sufferin'? Let that weigh on ya and you'll collapse under the weight of it.

[wtfox]

Who knows? Maybe I'll get lucky and walk out of this school with a wish. Wouldn't that be something?

[battling]

One of those peace, love and justice types?

Alright. How far would ya go for your goals?

[wtfox]

[she looks kind of startled by that question - so that's how he'd fill in the blank, huh...?]

Well, I mean... if it's something I care about enough to make it a goal, I'd see it through until the very end. Otherwise, it wouldn't be a goal, right? I definitely wouldn't give up on it halfway!

[battling]

If there were people in your way? What would you do against opposition?

No matter what ya try t' do, there's always gonna be somebody who'll be blockin' your path.

[wtfox]

[her brow furrows as she considers that. she is 14 and what is this.]

I guess I'd... try to convince them to see things my way? I mean, maybe we can both achieve our goals if we work together?

[battling]

How would ya go about convicin' them? Their goals might be directly contradictin' yours.

[wtfox]

I guess that would depend on how exactly they contradict mine and what their goals were...? There's almost always some kind of compromise people can come to. That's what my mom does, she's a diplomat. She always says there's no problem you can't solve if you put your mind to it.

[He reaches down and grabs her chin between his thumb and a finger, peering into her eyes.]

Yer real young, ain't ya? Ya don't got a good grasp on your own limits. Better t' figure 'em out now, before you cross 'em and can't take them back.

[And then he lets her go.]

[wtfox]

[well that




was not what she was expecting at all. she sort of freezes up when he grabs her chin and stares back at him as he speaks.]

...are you going to tell me that wasn't advice again if I thank you for the advice?

[battling]

It ain't advice, 's just bein' practical.

[you dumb man, it is advice]

[wtfox]

Thanks for teaching me to be practical, then.

[battling]

Might come up some day.

[wtfox]

You're right that it might, but I really hope it doesn't...

[let's be real though this is a murdergame it totally will]

[battling]

Longer ya live, the more likely it will.

[He gives a shrug of his shoulders.

(we're in a murder game, it'll come up)]

[wtfox]

Ah... that makes sense.

[here's hoping she dies early so she doesn't have to deal with it!]

[battling]

[cheers]

Wanna try fillin' in that blank?

[wtfox]

Oh! Right, I almost forgot. Let me think...

[hmm... how would she fill in that blank...?]

I guess, um... are there any conflicts you're dealing with?

[battling]

We're stuck fightin' the moon every year. Ain't like all of us are enthusiastic about it.

[wtfox]

How do you fight the moon, exactly?

[battling]

[This is where the explanation would go if i had it.]

[wtfox]

[shakes fists at mobage]

Oh, wow... that sounds really rough.

[battling]

[where is the IMPORTANT LORE]

Lost about half the Sage's wizards this last Calamity.

[wtfox]

Oh no, that's really awful...
