[ cross of life, 10 pm

a few days after the post, that’s what he sends miach at night. he does his best to encrypt it from prying eyes, but he knows that’s not perfect, as much as he’d like it to be.

still, he hopes that this encounter can stay between the two of them, and no one else. it’d be such a shame if they were disturbed. leaning against a tree that’s been left bare due to the incoming winter, flat looks onwards to the cross-shaped pond. what an ironic name, considering what they were planning to do—but that just makes it all the better.

so he closes his eyes, and waits. ]

[ That's forward. Really forward. ]

My, aren't you eager...

[ She's smiling now, not faltering, even though she herself has yet to make up her mind on what she really wants to become of mankind as such. Society however... ]

I can't say I disagree though. This world of self-delusion needs to be torn apart at the seams. It won't happen without sacrifice, it certainly won't happen to simply sweet-talking. Rebuilding is a painful and violent process.

[ Miach raises her hand to her hair, idly playing with her braid as she often does when thinking. ]

The Outlands aren't much better though - that's my reservations. If they simply win, we'll replace one kind of hell for another.

[escardos]

So it doesn't matter who wins or loses, then. The World will remain a Hell, no matter what.

[ he thinks about it for a moment--or at least appears to do so. really, flat could care less about who wins and who loses. the future means all the same to him, no matter what. ]

That checks out, I guess. But if it's Hell, then I think that we should do as we please all the same. [ flat laughs softly, shrugging off such a dark thought. ] Tearing society apart would cause mass chaos...but that's alright, isn't it? People should be true to their natures, without caring for what the person next to them thinks. Although I guess that also depends on what you think a person's nature is, too. Are you more into Hobbes or into Rousseau?

[imitationsoul]

Rousseau is very idealistic and theoretical in his approach. It would be nice if he was right, but we're far from ever experiencing such a state.

[ It's not that Miach doesn't want people to be happy - she just doesn't see a way towards it that isn't plastered with falsehoods. ]

Hobbes meanwhile holds with what we can quantifiably experience. His human nature shines through in every society we find world-wide, causing them to be ever-inefficient methods of solving a problem that is completely inherent to mankind.

[escardos]

He's also the one that says that a person's actions are always defined as a mediation between the fear and hope that is always present in them. It was the fear of death that pushed them towards peace in times of war, but now I think that we should add fear of rejection there as well.

[ flat pauses, thinking about it for a moment. considering that he's been standing for so long, he sits down on the cold grass and even lays down. ]

It's humanity's inefficiency and inability to learn from their mistakes that makes them interesting...kind of like watching a comedy film. Have you ever watched one, miss Miach? The classics are always the best of course, but I think Monty Python and The Holy Grail is my favorite movie.

[ how did he move from one topic to the other? does this even make sense to anyone that isn't him? ]

[imitationsoul]

[ Yeah, what are they standing around for. Miach places her murder preparations on the ground without too much care - she's still down for killing Flat later on, but the night is young, and right now they have made some more interesting discoveries.

She herself sits down next him, leaning comfortably back onto her hands. ]

I prefer books to movies by a large margin, but older movies can be fun. I haven't seen that particular one though. Life of Brain is the only Monty Python work I'm familiar with. The religious outrage was fun to read about, so I had to see the source for myself.

If you say their other movies are any good, I should look them up.

[ She's known Flat for like 20 minutes but she trusts his taste in media more than anyone else's already. ]
