It's been a while, but I suppose I'm curious—and it's hard to do much for curiosity, once it's born, is there? Some feelings can't be snuffed out, once they exist, no matter how much you might wish for it.

[ The voice is that of a young woman, somewhere between late teens and early twenties, lower-middle pitch and a steady cadence. A little tired, perhaps a little bored, but not irritably so. ]

Darkness, Earth, Water, Light, Wind, or Flame.

Choose one, please. But, before you do, know that there's no right answer, or wrong answer, and there's no moral component to any of them. "Light" doesn't mean good; "darkness" doesn't mean evil. Only whichever suits you. Something a little trivial, perhaps, but I'd like to hear your answers.

Thanks.

Haha, that's a bit much, don't you think? I might be killing time, but I certainly don't have enough to psychoanalyze twenty people in one go.

[munies]

You didn't have ideas in mind already when you put up the possible answers?

[dragony]

The answers were set before I asked the question. [ ~spooky~ ] I can't add or remove from it, without defeating the purpose.

[munies]

[ a beeeat ]

But I really want to know.

[dragony]

You'll have to narrow down your question, in that case.

[munies]

You said there's no moral component, but what do you think our answers do reflect? Our answers have to come from somewhere, right? Is that reflected in which one we pick?

[dragony]

Your answers come from you, of course; I can't determine why anyone picks anything, any more deeply than preference, or instinct.

[munies]

[ SQUINT ]

So you're saying the answers have no meaning. Rather, the person giving the answer puts their own meaning to it. [ but she doesn't like that explanation, so ] There must have been a reason you picked those six answers.

[dragony]

Yes.

As I said, the answers were set before I asked the question.

[munies]

But-!

[ huff ]

You're doing this on purpose.

[dragony]

Doing what on purpose?

[munies]

Being obtuse.

[dragony]

You asked the same question twice, so I gave the same answer twice. I asked the question, that's true, but the possible answers were ones that existed long before me. I could sooner change the color of the sun tomorrow than change what has already come to pass.

[ A shrug. ]

That's just how the world is.

[ she opens her mouth! then.. closes it. she's getting too caught up in this and she totally knows it. and that's embarrassing. yep. ]

Okay. [ nod! even though she can't see it. that's ok. ] I'm going to go now.

[ trying to be casual, as always, results in the least casual thing ever. oh well. ]
