Now how the hell did I get so lucky to be by myself for several months only to have some of the people I like the least appear? I highly doubt this is the place to put aside our differences. Tell me it isn't just me that the gods are targeting this time.

I suppose there will never be a day where I approach the rest of you with a set of questions. Here's your selection for the day:

1.) Hypothetically, if one were to obtain a music player, what sort of music should one put on it?

2.) Not-so-hypothetically, I'm taking my next round of challenges. What sort of potions would you find the most useful in the city? [Not to mention he's working on some of his "special projects"…]

3.) Also hypothetically, if one were looking for new books to read, what sort of books should one locate in the library?

[Someone is a bit stircrazy thanks to winter just now going away, and he's also avoiding the entirety of the the sea mission to obtain information. He's assuming he's being dragged along, but that doesn't mean he has to focus solely on that.

And then, tentatively, added on later:]

You and I have things to discuss, I wager.

Comments

[wasthemaster]

But the question is are they things that are actually relevant? That's the key question.

You haven't learned anything from it, have you?

[key_illusion]

What he helped do to Roxas is important. To me. Everything else, I don't care.

I have. Although I don't think you would understand.

[wasthemaster]

You still underestimate me, Sunny? I'm offended.

[key_illusion]

No, it's more like a lot of people wouldn't understand it. You've always been human. I've always been what I am, but I have memories of being human.

[wasthemaster]

Being human doesn't exactly mean much. [Draco what.]

[key_illusion]

[He's not exactly sure if Draco's trying to be nice or if this is his self-loathing coming out.]

It's better than being nonhuman though.

[wasthemaster]

Why do you think that? [Asking out of genuine curiosity.]

[key_illusion]

There's a lot of things. I'm different from normal standards, and there's limitations of what I can do compared to everyone else. It's also a big reminder that I'm still a temporary existence.

[wasthemaster]

So you'd rather be human. Humans are designed to be way overcomplicated.

[key_illusion]

Maybe those complications are just living life more fully.

[wasthemaster]

I suppose that's the optimist's way of looking at it.

[key_illusion]

I'm not exactly an optimist, but I know a lot about the comparisons of these two different states.

[wasthemaster]

I suppose it's me who's underestimating you a bit.

[key_illusion]

Probably. Maybe the gods will make you nonhuman for a day so you can see what it's like.

[wasthemaster]

...I've been an animal before. Does that count?

[key_illusion]

I guess that counts a little bit.

[wasthemaster]

As long as they don't take that as a sign that I ever want to be a ferret ever again, we'll count it.

[key_illusion]

[Thank goodness Draco can hear his laughing through the text. Because seriously, a ferret?]

I think you'll be fine, unless you do something they find obnoxious.

[wasthemaster]

Ah, but see they're never quite clear on what they perceive as obnoxious.

[key_illusion]

Right. Just make sure not to be stepped on if you turn into a ferret again.

[wasthemaster]

If anything, I'm sure Jade would just carry me around and I wouldn't have to worry about it.
