[unknownjoy]

That is a very wise and admirable attitude. All the same, you shouldn't have to get used to being tortured and murdered.

[extendedbrutalpipemurder]

I don't expect him to do it again, not without quite serious provocation.

[ he's still weighing up whether he wants to seriously provoke Daniel again or not... ]

[unknownjoy]

Now that you know what to expect from him, I imagine he would have to be quite cunning to get away with it again.

You're not concerned that others may still harbor a grudge?

[extendedbrutalpipemurder]

I'd be more concerned if others didn't harbor a grudge. It's human nature.

[unknownjoy]

In a place as lonely and isolated as this, where many things happen one after another, not everyone will be able to maintain their anger indefinitely.

But yes. It would be strange if you weren't hated by pretty much everyone.

[extendedbrutalpipemurder]

It is a relief not to be a slave to public opinion. Doing what one wants rather than what will be popular is very freeing.

[unknownjoy]

Is that why you brought the Entities here? Simply because you wanted to?

[extendedbrutalpipemurder]

And to see if it could be done. There was no guarantee they would be anywhere adjacent to our current universe.

[unknownjoy]

That doesn't sound like freedom to me.

[ It kind of does, though. Can you please bring back the Fears, Elias? ]

But I don't want to argue.

[extendedbrutalpipemurder]

Oh, not at all. What good is freedom is you don't know what's possible?

[unknownjoy]

It seems so childish, [ says the man who supposedly doesn't want to argue. ]

Doing whatever one wants, testing limits just for the sake of it. I could never live like that.
