  1. --civilShadenfreude [CS] started trolling adeptusPraesidius [AP]--
  2. Naydra | civilSchadenfreude [CS]07/12/2020
  3. CS: So, you do th1nk you can beat me then.
  4. CS: What makes you so sure, 1f 1 may 1nqu1re.
  5. CS: 1'm 1nterested to see what sk1lls you have to offer as well.
  6. Trajan | adeptusPraesidius [AP]07/12/2020
  7. [AP]: I w⌒s w0ndering when y0u'd send ⌒ mess⌒ge my w⌒y since 0ur l⌒st c0nvers⌒ti0n.
  8. [AP]: I w0uld never disc0unt the p0ssibility 0f my l0ss, but I w0uld equ⌒lly ⌒s likely ensure I'd be fully prep⌒red bef0re eng⌒ging y0u in c0mb⌒t. Th⌒t is why I c⌒n s⌒y I'd m⌒ke sure I c0me 0ut the vict0r.
  9. [AP]: ⌒s f0r my skills, I d0n't see much relev⌒nce 0r imp0rt⌒nce t0 describing them 0ver text, let ⌒l0ne when I'd st⌒nd t0 l0se the imp0rt⌒nt ⌒dv⌒nt⌒ge 0f kn0wledge 0ver my p0tenti⌒l 0pp0nent.
  10. [AP]: ⌒nd furtherm0re, h0w d0 y0u supp0se I'd dem0nstr⌒te them under such text-b⌒sed circumst⌒nces?
  11. Naydra | civilSchadenfreude [CS]07/12/2020
  12. CS: Stor1es, 1f no other k1nd of proof ex1sts. Maybe 1t 1s to early to for me to assume that you would tell the truth, but let's assume that 1'll g1ve you that luxury.
  13. CS: Although 1 for one can say that 1 haven't l1ed to you once s1nce 1 met you.
  14. CS: And anyone w1th any manners at all would know to return that k1ndness.
  15. Trajan | adeptusPraesidius [AP]07/12/2020
  16. [AP]: F0rgive me f0r finding it str⌒nge th⌒t 0ne such ⌒s y0urself w0uld pr0fess the v⌒lues 0f h0nesty ⌒nd kindness.
  17. [AP]: Nevertheless, it's n0t ⌒ b⌒d p0int in principle, s0 I'll c⌒pitul⌒te.
  18. - Trajan proceeds to tell two short stories of training exercises underwent with the Jade Circle, omitting its name and other incriminating details from them. -
  19. - His first story partially embellishes his success in unarmed basic combat against a series of opponents, concluding with a specially trained Tigersnake lusus. A basic explanation of the Tigersnake's abilities is given to provide context. -
  20. - His second story tells of a survival exercise wherein he spent a number of days foraging through the brooding caverns while traversing them to reach a designated exit. -
  21. Naydra | civilSchadenfreude [CS]07/12/2020
  22. CS: Well, 1'm not as d1ssapo1nted as 1 thought 1'd be.
  23. CS: Who knew you actually had some tra1n1ng?
  24. CS: Though 1 doubt you st1ll have the exper1ence and raw power to go toe-to-toe w1th me.
  25. CS: And that 1sn't just me bluster1ng.
  26. Trajan | adeptusPraesidius [AP]07/12/2020
  27. [AP]: Disreg⌒rding ⌒ll the 0ther tr⌒ining left unmenti0ned, I w0uldn't be s0 n⌒ive ⌒s t0 blindly try th⌒t in the first pl⌒ce.
  28. [AP]: I ⌒m t⌒ught t0 str⌒tegize ⌒s much ⌒s I'm t⌒ught t0 wield my strength.
  29. [AP]: I might 0nly h⌒ve st0ries t0 evidence my skills in these circumst⌒nces, but y0u h⌒ve rep0rts which pr0vide displ⌒ys f0r y0urs.
  30. [AP]: I'm fully ⌒w⌒re 0f y0ur c0nsider⌒ble strengths.
  31. Naydra | civilSchadenfreude [CS]07/12/2020
  32. CS: Ser1ously, there must be someth1ng you can tell me about th1s orgna1zat1on you work for.
  33. CS: The way you phrase 1t the1r 1nfluence seems to r1val that of the ent1re emp1re.
  34. Trajan | adeptusPraesidius [AP]07/12/2020
  35. [AP]: The rep0rts 0n y0ur ⌒ctivities ⌒re publicly ⌒v⌒il⌒ble, y0u d0 realize?
  36. [AP]: I inti⌒lly f0und y0ur existence thr0ugh them, ⌒fter ⌒ll.
  37. Naydra | civilSchadenfreude [CS]07/12/2020
  38. CS: Publ1cly ava1lable?
  39. CS: 1 never checked, but that would expla1n a lot.
  40. CS: Granted, 1t ra1ses as many quest1ons as 1t answers.
  41. CS: 1 never knew my conquests had such a h1gh prof1le.
  42. Trajan | adeptusPraesidius [AP]07/12/2020
  43. [AP]: "High pr0file" is m0re 0f ⌒n ex⌒gger⌒tion th⌒n ⌒n ⌒ccur⌒te descripti0n.
  44. [AP]: The de⌒ths 0f l0wbl00ds is newsw0rthy, but n0t terribly s0 t0 m0tiv⌒te signific⌒nt c0ver⌒ge, 0utcry, 0r ⌒cti0n, it seems.
  45. [AP]: ⌒t le⌒st n0t by the higher c⌒stes 0r th0se within them h0lding signific⌒nt p0wer.
  46. Naydra | civilSchadenfreude [CS]07/12/2020
  47. CS: What mot1vated you to take spec1f1c 1nterest 1n me then?
  48. Trajan | adeptusPraesidius [AP]07/12/2020
  49. [AP]: Pers0n⌒l re⌒s0ns I h⌒ve n0 0blig⌒ti0n t0 sh⌒re ⌒t this m0ment.
  50. Naydra | civilSchadenfreude [CS]07/12/2020
  51. CS: Oh you and your secrets.
  52. CS: What can you tell me about yourself then?
  53. Trajan | adeptusPraesidius [AP]07/12/2020
  54. [AP]: Well, I'm ne⌒ring eight sweeps, I've f0ll0wed the ⌒rts and ⌒rtists 0f 0ur culture f0r ⌒b0ut tw0 sweeps n0w, ⌒nd d0ing s0 h⌒s given me ⌒n ⌒rtistic drive 0f my 0wn.
  55. - Trajan sends a picture of a collection of miniature unpainted figurines -
  56. [AP]: During my sp⌒re time, I while ⌒w⌒y the h0urs sculpting ⌒nd p⌒inting figures such ⌒s these.
  57. Naydra | civilSchadenfreude [CS]07/12/2020
  58. CS: 1 suppose that pursu1t 1sn't ent1rely po1ntless.
  59. CS: 1t 1s no f1ne art, but... Well 1 can't deny there 1s at least some sk1ll on d1splay.
  60. CS: What mater1al are they sculpted out of?
  61. Trajan | adeptusPraesidius [AP]07/12/2020
  62. [AP]: I sculpt them fr0m ⌒ c0mbin⌒ti0n of resins ⌒nd cl⌒y f0r the m0st p⌒rt. I c⌒n ⌒cquire b0th r⌒ther c0nsistently with just my 0wn efforts ⌒l0ne, keeping the c0sts c0mf0rt⌒bly slim.
  63. [AP]: 0n 0cc⌒si0n, I find it ⌒ppr0pri⌒te t0 c⌒st ⌒ figurine 0r cert⌒in p⌒rts 0f 0ne with met⌒l, ⌒t which p0int I h⌒ve t0 b⌒rter f0r the necess⌒ry supplies.
  64. [AP]: The sheer investment 0f time ⌒nd res0urces t0 c⌒st with met⌒l ensures th0se 0cc⌒si0ns ⌒re quite r⌒re.
  65. Naydra | civilSchadenfreude [CS]07/13/2020
  66. CS: Well your pass1on for your craft 1s certa1nly on d1splay 1f noth1ng else.
  67. CS: You say that you've followed the art1sts of th1s "culture" you are a part of. Do they follow s1m1lar methods? What do they produce?
  68. Trajan | adeptusPraesidius [AP]07/13/2020
  69. [AP]: Th0se wh0 cr⌒ft ⌒s I d0 gener⌒lly f0ll0w the s⌒me principles, ⌒s it w⌒s fr0m them th⌒t I le⌒rned t0 d0 this in the first pl⌒ce.
  70. [AP]: ⌒s f0r th0se pr0ficient in 0ther f0rms 0f ⌒rtistic expressi0n, there ⌒re t00 m⌒ny meth0ds t0 c0unt with0ut n⌒rr0wing d0wn the sc0pe 0f f0cus.
  71. Naydra | civilSchadenfreude [CS]07/13/2020
  72. CS: Well desp1te th1s organ1zat1on of yours seem1ng s1m1lar 1n scope to the emp1re, 1 can say that th1s order of yours has some apprec1at1on of what makes l1fe worth f1ght1ng for, 1nstead of 1nd1scr1m1nately throw1ng lowbloods at whatever planet they want to conquer just to make the empresses' proverb1al bulge feel b1g.
  73. CS: Say what you w1ll about me, but at least 1 k1ll lowbloods for a reason, whereas the emp1re seems to be completely 1nd1fferent.
  74. Trajan | adeptusPraesidius [AP]07/13/2020
  75. [AP]: I c⌒nn0t necess⌒rily dis⌒gree with th⌒t.
  76. [AP]: F⌒r be it fr0m me t0 questi0n the l0gic behind the empire's decisi0ns, but they cert⌒inly w⌒ste n0 time ⌒ss⌒ulting its t⌒rgets with sheer f0rce 0f l0wbl00d numbers.
  77. Naydra | civilSchadenfreude [CS]07/13/2020
  78. CS: Look, 1 am an equal opportun1ty murderer.
  79. CS: 1 cull weak lowbloods and weak h1ghbloods all the same, (just so happens the major1ty of lowbloods are weak 1nnefectual m1lksops, but that's ne1ther here nor there.)
  80. CS: But the emp1re seems to have some k1nd of grudge aga1nst them.
  81. CS: 1f anyth1ng, h1ghbloods should engage 1n combat more. 1f they're so clearly of a h1gher genet1c stock, shouldn't they take a larger part 1n the emp1re's conquests?
  82. Trajan | adeptusPraesidius [AP]07/13/2020
  83. [AP]: Y0u m⌒ke ⌒n ⌒rgu⌒bly f⌒ir p0int.
  84. [AP]: I c⌒n't s⌒y I'm pers0n⌒lly invested in the ⌒ff⌒irs 0f the c⌒stes ⌒t l⌒rge, but the principle is cert⌒inly n0t unre⌒s0n⌒ble.
  85. Naydra | civilSchadenfreude [CS]07/13/2020
  86. CS: Of course 1 make a good po1nt, th1s 1s me you're talk1ng to.
  87. CS: Where do you fall anyway? 1'd presume Jade by the color of your tag, but 1've been fooled by that tr1ck before.
  88. Trajan | adeptusPraesidius [AP]07/13/2020
  89. [AP]: Th⌒t sh⌒ll rem⌒in ⌒n0ther 0f my secrets f0r the time being.
  90. Naydra | civilSchadenfreude [CS]07/13/2020
  91. CS: You pers1st 1n keep1ng so many th1ngs from me concern1ng your or1g1n that 1'm be1ng conv1nced you're actually scared to ever meet me, that 1'll track you down someday just by your caste or organ1zat1on alone.
  92. Trajan | adeptusPraesidius [AP]07/13/2020
  93. [AP]: Y0u c⌒n believe wh⌒tever y0u w⌒nt.
  94. Naydra | civilSchadenfreude [CS]07/13/2020
  95. CS: Not l1ke you could stop me from do1ng that.
  96. CS: Anyway, you sa1d that reports on my do1ngs are publ1c?
  97. Trajan | adeptusPraesidius [AP]07/13/2020
  98. [AP]: Yes, I did.
  99. Naydra | civilSchadenfreude [CS]07/13/2020
  100. CS: Well, 1 haven't seen any, and e1ther nobody else has seen them e1ther, or nobody cares.
  101. CS: So many people should know who and where 1 am that 1 wouldn't be able to sleep soundly. E1ther from other trolls who care to steal some of my fortune, or self-r1ghteous 1d1ots who just want me dead.
  102. CS: Are you sure you don't have access to some secret web of 1nformat1on?
  103. Trajan | adeptusPraesidius [AP]07/13/2020
  104. [AP]: I'd w⌒ger ⌒p⌒thy is the c0rrect ⌒nswer in this c⌒se.
  105. [AP]: I've ⌒lre⌒dy t0ld y0u th⌒t y0ur ⌒cti0ns h⌒ve 0nly just been newsw0rthy, ⌒fter ⌒ll.
  106. [AP]: I c⌒n't s⌒y I s⌒w ⌒ny tell 0f y0ur f0rtune in th0se rep0rts, either, s0 it's likely n0t p⌒rt 0f ⌒ny p0tenti⌒l pr0blem.
  107. [AP]: Th0ugh I'll keep it in mind f0r future c0nsider⌒ti0n.
  108. Naydra | civilSchadenfreude [CS]07/13/2020
  109. CS: You emphas1zed cons1derat1on.
  110. CS: Let me tell 1f you plan to steal my th1ngs 1 can tell you now that my h1ve 1s trapped to hell and back.
  111. CS: 1t would be su1c1de to step a foot 1n here.
  112. CS: Not to ment1on the fact that 1 would personally tear you a second asshole.
  113. Trajan | adeptusPraesidius [AP]07/13/2020
  114. [AP]: It w⌒s but ⌒n ⌒musing jest wh⌒t I h⌒ve pulled.
  115. [AP]: My previ0us st⌒tements sh0uld be evidence en0ugh th⌒t I w0uldn't d⌒re be s0 c⌒reless.
  116. Naydra | civilSchadenfreude [CS]07/13/2020
  117. CS: Great, then you're learn1ng.
  118. Trajan | adeptusPraesidius [AP]07/13/2020
  119. [AP]: I ⌒m n0thing if n0t ⌒ pr0ficient student.
  120. Naydra | civilSchadenfreude [CS]07/14/2020
  121. CS: 1 bel1ve we should change the subject.
  122. CS: What else do you do 1n your spare t1me?
  123. CS: Or 1s the rest of your t1me taken up by whatever respons1b1l1t1es you have to this commune you're a part of.
  124. Trajan | adeptusPraesidius [AP]07/14/2020
  125. [AP]: F0r the m0st p⌒rt, y0u'd be c0rrect.
  126. [AP]: When I'm n0t w0rking 0n ⌒ new figurine in my times 0f leisure, I'll typic⌒lly spend time with Nemi⌒s, my lusus 0r br0wse the web t0 keep up with the v⌒ri0us ⌒rtists wh0se pr0files I've f0ll0wed, se⌒rch f0r w⌒ys t0 impr0ve my 0wn ⌒rtistry, 0r gener⌒lly drift ⌒b0ut the se⌒ 0f inf0rm⌒ti0n until brushing up ⌒g⌒inst s0mething w0rth l00king int0.
  127. [AP]: 0therwise, my duties t⌒ke up the rem⌒ining time 0f my d⌒ys.
  128. Naydra | civilSchadenfreude [CS]07/14/2020
  129. CS: And these dut1es are, 1 assume, secret.
  130. CS: 1t would be much eas1er to converse w1th you 1f you d1dn't 1ns1st on w1thold1ng so much 1nformat1on.
  131. CS: Don't you ever feel some k1nd of oppress1ve we1ght upon you, be1ng forced to do the b1dd1ng of th1s order you're a part of?
  132. Trajan | adeptusPraesidius [AP]07/14/2020
  133. [AP]: N0, n0t in the slightest!
  134. [AP]: I c0uldn't be m0re pr0ud 0f the w0rk I d0!
  135. Naydra | civilSchadenfreude [CS]07/14/2020
  136. CS: What cause do you work for? Surely you have some lofty cause 1n m1nd 1f you're so proud of th1s work you do.
  137. Trajan | adeptusPraesidius [AP]07/14/2020
  138. [AP]: I supp0se I'll elucid⌒te y0u 0n this much.
  139. [AP]: I ⌒m ⌒ pr0tect0r 0f life ⌒nd its 0rigins. 0ne 0f m⌒ny.
  140. Naydra | civilSchadenfreude [CS]07/14/2020
  141. CS: Oh, so you are a Jadeblood.
  142. CS: Or at least work w1th them.
  143. CS: There were many worse goals 1 1mag1ned you could have been work1ng towards, 1n the grand scheme of th1ngs 1'd go so far as to call yours noble.
  144. Trajan | adeptusPraesidius [AP]07/14/2020
  145. [AP]: 0f c0urse it is. I'd h⌒ve n0t served ⌒ny lesser purp0se.
  146. Naydra | civilSchadenfreude [CS]07/14/2020
  147. CS: But surely you can't say that you've at least once thought some of the restr1ct1ons placed on you were undue or overly l1m1t1ng.
  148. Trajan | adeptusPraesidius [AP]07/14/2020
  149. [AP]: T0 ⌒ degree, th⌒t is s0mewh⌒t true. It c⌒n be difficult t0 r0und 0ut my gener⌒l kn0wledge fr0m just my duties ⌒nd 0ther resp0nsibilities ⌒l0ne.
  150. [AP]: Th⌒t is the very re⌒s0n why I se⌒rch out new inf0rm⌒ti0n during s0me 0f my leisure h0urs.
  151. Naydra | civilSchadenfreude [CS]07/14/2020
  152. CS: 1 can conf1rm you're not m1ss1ng out on much. 1f anyth1ng the outs1de world 1s l1kely worse off than that enclave you f1nd yourself w1th
  153. CS: Though 1 don't envy your s1tuat1on. 1 would never g1ve up my freedoms just for the sake of stab1l1ty and order, no matter how noble bear1ng the respons1b1l1ty would make me.
  154. Trajan | adeptusPraesidius [AP]Yesterday at 7:35 AM
  155. [AP]: ⌒nd I w0uld c0nversely never ⌒b⌒nd0n my resp0nsibilities in the pursuit 0f ⌒n ide⌒lized sense 0f freed0m.
  156. [AP]: I'm cert⌒inly less "free" th⌒n m0st 0ther tr0lls, but th⌒t is simply the design 0f my life ⌒nd its purp0se, f0r which I h⌒ve n0 c0mpl⌒ints.
  157. [AP]: Within the purview 0f my duties ⌒nd resp0nsibilities, I ⌒m still given c0mp⌒r⌒bly c0nsider⌒ble freed0ms, ⌒s well, further diminishing ⌒ny c0mpl⌒ints.
  158. Naydra | civilSchadenfreude [CS]Today at 9:43 AM
  159. CS: 1 don't th1nk you understand what freedom really means, Trajan. Why 1t 1s so 1mportant to me, and why 1t should be 1mportant to you.
  160. CS: Your l1fe 1sn't your own. You barely have an 1dea what anyth1ng outs1de your h1ve even 1s, you've addm1tted so yourself, that was your reason for contact1ng me 1n the f1rst place.
  161. CS: Even 1f you stopped work1ng for th1s order and left them, 1f you're even allowed, you'd never really be free. And you already seem to real1ze th1s. Your m1nd has been permanently altered by your t1me served, they've ass1m1lated you 1nto the1r culture completely. But 1nstead of be1ng revolted, you seem to rel1sh that fact, that you could wholly serve th1s order that you love, that the1r cause 1s noble.
  162. CS: 1t 1s 1n fact for th1s reason that 1 don't bel1ve you have the r1ght to cr1t1c1se what 1 do, as you won't be able to speak unbiased, be1ng both someone who has had skewed values 1mposed on them s1nce b1rth, and someone who has close to no 1ns1ght on what 1t's really l1ke to l1ve on Altern1a.
  163. CS: No matter how much supposed tra1n1ng you've had, you've never felt what 1t's l1ke to take the l1fe of someone else. Noth1ng you have ever done has close Desp1te what you may th1nk, 1 am no sa1d1st. That 1s to say, the pleasure 1 take 1n v1ctory 1sn't due to the suffer1ng of others. 1t's the tr1ll of beat1ng the odds and r1s1ng above the 1nsurmountable forces consp1r1ng to make you the1r lunch. Because Altern1a, no matter what happens, 1s a savage place. You wouldn't know the untold carnage that consp1res da1ly on th1s planet from the safe-haven of your l1ttle enclave, where as 1 l1ve 1n 1t, thr1ve 1n 1t, embrace 1t.
  164. CS: People l1ke you th1nk that 1t 1s wrong to k1ll, and that 1t should be avo1ded whenever poss1ble, but the nature of l1fe, most of all here, 1s that the death of others 1s necessary to keep yourself from the same fate. 1t's k1ll or be k1lled, to put 1t bluntly. And to try and deny that would be to work aga1nst the w1ll of the un1verse 1tself. 1 have grown strong because of th1s, and my w1ll1ngness to adapt such a doctr1ne, and those who fa1l to see the nature of l1fe for what 1t 1s, are dest1ned to become weak and d1e.
  165. CS: You th1nk you're stronger than me desp1te how comparat1vely paltry your tra1n1ng 1s, and w1ser desp1te your lack of real world exper1nce, but your un1ty w1th others makes you weak, not strong l1ke you th1nk.
  166. CS: Th1s 1s the 1mportance of freedom, Trajan. Freedom 1s the cauldron 1n wh1ch potent1al bo1ls, and out of that cauldron w1ll r1se greatness. Your art has been regurg1tated from generat1on to generat1on, w1th the same techn1ques be1ng used over and over, grow1ng stale w1th t1me. That 1s hardly art. Art 1s the sp1r1t of 1nnovat1on that dr1ves creat1on. Real art 1nsp1res act1on. Art has a story worth tell1ng. Art can create str1fe, over values both moral and mon1tary. True art 1s the s1ngle most free express1on of sp1r1t, and 1t behooves you to understand and apprec1ate that, and to create art w1th pass1on and not just form.
  167. CS: To attempt to create and susta1n order where none should be 1s an adm1ss1on that you are noth1ng on your own, and that you must rely on others for support. Borrow1ng the culture of others 1s an adm1sson that you have noth1ng un1que to say, and so must copy others. That 1s the 1mportance of freedom, Trajan. To have a l1fe la1d out before you, your dest1ny already fuf1lled, 1s a gross m1suse of the l1fe you seem so keen to protect.
  168. CS: You're smart, that much 1s clear to me, and 1f 1t wasn't, 1 wouldn't even bother to debate. Though 1 don't expect you to be swayed so eas1ly. Perhaps 1n my fervor 1 have taken my po1nts a b1t too far 1nto the realm of undue offense, and wh1le 1 don't 1ntend to aplog1ze for anyth1ng that 1 have sa1d, 1 can only hope to be forg1ven.
  169. Trajan | adeptusPraesidius [AP]Today at 9:52 AM
  170. [AP]: Y0u cert⌒inly h⌒ve much t0 s⌒y 0n the m⌒tter.
  171. [AP]: I respect th⌒t, but y0u're c0rrect th⌒t I w0n't be sw⌒yed by such p0ints.
  172. [AP]: Y0u c⌒n cl⌒im I h0ld ⌒ bi⌒s t00 str0ng t0 qu⌒lify f0r criticizing y0ur w⌒y 0f life, but the inverse ⌒pplies equ⌒lly.
