>>>>>[Oooo. I'm annoying now. Just think, I haven't done anything but
say stuff. Now, I've been talking over my 'problem' (if it can be
described as such, but frankly I don't see it that way) of being
confused about human/metahuman behavior with all different kinds of
people for the last real long time, and I .still. haven't seen anything
that makes any kind of real sense about you people to me.

And it's real nice I've piqued your interest, seeing as you've piqued
mine. I don't mind if we meet, but I refuse your 'word' on your trying
to hurt me -- your kind has broken your word too often for me to really
trust you. Yes, you can treat me as honorably as you wish to treat any
other -- but maybe I've been affected by living with the boss too long;
when it comes right down to the wire, I don't really give a damn about
honor as long as I continue to survive.

And everything is a game, Drake-dude. Everything. It's just that in
some places we keep scores by the number of people we control, some
others by how much land we control, others by how much money we control.
A very very few of us keep track by other, less mundane means.... Tell
me, Drakerooni, what do you keep track with?]<<<<<

>>>>>[I don't care if you don't trust me, I was just
giving you my word as to the fact that I was not going
to try and harm you if and when we talked. So how about
it? Real or virtual.
You ask how I keep score. I still content that life is
not a game. A game has some sort of stakes that you
play for. I live life on my terms, for the most part.
Not for material wealth. Not for magic aquired. Not
for lives ruined. Some peoples lives are too short to
do that. Have they lived in vain? Those with longer life
spans may hunger for such trivialities. Rare, indeed, is
the being that does not. That lives life for its very
existance. For the thrill of life, so to speak. Me? I
just try to manage one day at a time. To find the special
things each day.]<<<<<
