Far be it from me to turn down a challenge you miserable runt. [....Well, that's...promising.]

Here friends, what do you think of this? There's no such thing as birthright that's recognized by nature, and it's a notion the weak use as a trick to keep themselves in power they didn't earn. To hear a person claiming they're you're better when it's clear they're helpless on their own, that's plain foolishness, isn't it? And yet there's worlds where such ineffectual men are kings and the people are made to believe that it's natural and just for the throne to grant power alone. And they suffer for it because when the king is weak he must resort to underhanded means to ensure nobody's more powerful than him.

But that doesn't have a damn thing to do with this world because it doesn't work like that here. So who else thinks that anyone who crows about their title in this world is only fooling themselves? Pokemon give power where it's earned by effort or skill. Where it's not, the unfit can't rise to where anyone would suffer beneath them. And the rest of us are free to show them their natural place when they think their hollow claims to good breeding make them any better than another. A place in a pool, for example.

[...That should probably offer a clue to what this unabashed craziness is about, if the fact that it goes up about ten minutes after a post from Saionji doesn't give it enough context. I'm...I'm sorry, guys.]

Not by themselves. That's the whole problem, that it's a mess of traps set for those who try to change it. I'd like to think what's been done will burn some of the rot away but it'd never have happened without pushing to an all out war.

So it's escalated that far...

I'm sorry to hear about it, anyway.

[Walter is about two seconds from sending something about well he's glad he's not going back before he realizes that implications like that are probably on the list of shit that upsets crazy execution land refugees.

Backspace backspace backspace.]

I've done my part. Now I'm determined to eat drink and make merry here and anyone who looks to foul up this paradise is my enemy and the harpy is included in that.

[...Don't worry too much. He's glad he's not going back either.]

That's what we're trying to do, too, I think - just enjoy things while we're here. I'm just not really good at it yet.

How are you not good at enjoying things?

I never really saw a point in doing anything for fun back home, that's how - it's a learning process!

[....no, wait, he's missing something]

I'm not sure I follow?

What aren't you following?

[what about this is difficult, walter...]

When you say anything for fun what exactly do you mean?

I spent all my time studying back home - either that or I had duties with the Disciplinary Committee to take care of. I didn't do much else because there wasn't any point to it.

And none of that was fun? [He's unfamiliar with the concepts. All of the concepts here.] So how did you not simply collapse with misery?

Well, I enjoyed it, but it seems most people don't for some reason.

[...]

I don't see the point in doing idle things, I guess is what I'm trying to say. Things that don't have a purpose behind them.

That makes more sense though I'm still astounded. What about simple relaxing, food and midday rest and so on? Those neither?

Well, food and rest and things like that are necessary just so you don't completely burn yourself out. But outside of that it's a waste of time.
