Yeah, I never could get into the war stories. At least some of them were to try to get quicker ways to get places to exploit the people there and take their stuff. Which is... less pointless? Nice and traditionally awful? Maybe it is better to die like an idiot trying to plant a flag in a place where no one lives.

Perhaps, if the dying is contained. That's not the case in the north, but at least we only sullied an ancient Netsilik bear-spirit in our march to our deaths.

So, hey, three positives out of dying pretty terribly.

[goingtobeunwell]

Better than none at all, mn?

[everythinglost]

I don't know, that also has a certain appeal. Just absolute nihilism.

[goingtobeunwell]

Hmn. Have you ever read any Kierkegaard?

[everythinglost]

Some, but Christianity kept coming up. I'm sure he was probably right about the Church, but I would rather just not go.

[goingtobeunwell]

Atheist as well as nihilist?

Ah, well, thank you for the chat. I’ll leave you be — unless you murder someone that is.

[pause.]

You don’t usually murder people, do you?

[everythinglost]

Possibly. Mainly, I just didn't want to get up in the morning on Sunday.

Don't worry, I've managed to go through my time here without murdering anyone.

[goingtobeunwell]

Then I am reassured. I didn’t murder anyone whilst I was an inmate either — drank far too much, but that’s a different story.
