[Nexus] The Wall III: Wall Harder

[Dark Elf Bard]

Where's Reinholdt? I wanna feed him fish!

[Hattish Thing]

How many humans have you even met, anyways? There's certainly a lot, but we're not exactly a majority here in the Nexus. I mean, as far as I know, you only know me, your former boss, and Reinholdt (who again, doesn't count because he's a cat, and was born a cat). And apparently Reinholdt's the only one whose mind has been probed?

Don't you think it might be a good idea to widen your sample size, and prove that humanity is bad as you say, rather than making crass assumptions based off of the mind of the worst cat in the entire history of cats? And how are you going to tell if someone's just a shapeshifter, dragon, devil, or deity just pretending to be human, too?

If they seek to disguise themselves as a human being, then they are obviously an ally of the humans, therefore must be destroyed. I have met many humans actually. Zane, Reinholdt, Mr. Brandt, most of the Louv're Tower Staff, Daedalus, Several NPC's I experimented on, you, Marciano Louv're, and others.

I will leave the elves alive, they are already perfected. As well as deities, magical creatures, etcetera. However, any who stand in the way of my crusade against humans will be destroyed. I'm going to kill you personally because, quite frankly one of my first commands programmed into me is to destroy Magtok forever. Marciano's first command to me. I believe you had "pissed him off", as the humans say.

Widen my sample size? Are you offering?

[The Alexandrian]

Greater good?! You wouldn't know greater good if it leapt up into your face and bit off your nose!

By the way, I feel as though it is compulsory that I inform you that, in the words of Mister Spock himself, 'Logic is a little tweeting bird chirping in a meadow. Logic is a wreath of pretty flowers which smell bad.'

Also, humans are perfect in their imperfection.

Also also, you do realize that you, E, are flawed as you were created by flawed beings and therefore cannot attain perfection no matter how hard you try.

Speaking of humans, they are some of the funnest things I play with! If you wish to destroy them, you do realize that you'll have to go through me first.

Now I have a surprise for you. Deploying surprise in 5, 4, 3, 2...

This statement is false.
I am lying.
The next statement is true. The previous statement is false.

Have fun malfunctioning, Mister Logic!

Addendum: If you are still following Marcy's orders, then you are a complete and utter idiot. He's dead and hated. Therefore, he was weak and wrong.

And if you think any living organism is perfect, you haven't the faintest idea of what perfection really is. You cannot understand perfection, being as imperfect as you are.

Rein's actually pretty nice for being the worst cat in the entire history of cats and all, imho. He never hissed at me or anything on our adventure-thingy.

[Darkcomet]

So can I get directions to this thing? Fields of Strife sounds so generic. Is that some old warzone? This protector of nature must know so that justice may be done.

[ThirdEmperor]

I already am that awesome and then some, so, nope, don't need your help there.


I also don't need your help molding the world to my whims, 'cause, see, I'm already doing pretty good there too, plus, my whims include most people still living and breathing.

Not to mention me still being alive, 'stead of getting my skull stomped in by WATCH.

PS: Not human.

[Lord Magtok]

I have met many humans actually. Zane, Reinholdt, Mr. Brandt, most of the Louv're Tower Staff, Daedalus, Several NPC's I experimented on, you, Marciano Louv're, and others.

AAAAAAUGH! REINHOLDT IS NOT A HUMAN! NOT! HUMAN IS NOT A THING THAT HE IS! YOUR BRAIN-PROBE IS IRRELEVANT BECAUSE HE IS NOT A HUMAN! HE CAN JUST TAKE ON A HUMAN FORM, LIKE THOSE OTHER KINDS OF PEOPLE I MENTIONED!

****ING RAPTOR CHRIST, WHY DO YOU KEEP SAYING REINHOLDT'S A HUMAN WHEN I KEEP TELLING YOU HE ISN'T ONE?! HE'S A MOTHER****ING CAT! AN EVIL, APOCALYPSE-CAUSING, TALKING CAT! HE IS NOT ANY SORT OF INSIGHT INTO THE AVERAGE HUMAN BECAUSE HE ISN'T EVEN A HUMAN! ****!

Just beneath this message, someone seems to have furiously thrown a piece of darkslategray chalk into the wall, making an ugly mark and leaving little bits of our Maggy's writing utensil scattered all about the area in chunks too small to write much of anything.

[Dark Elf Bard]

Can I pet Reinholdt, and give him fish?

There's a large, fresh, trout for Reinholdt sitting there!

[Hattish Thing]

Justice?! You mean attempting to kill me GreenText? Honestly, you wish to assassinate me! What makes you think I would appear there when you seem to want to meet, only to destroy me! Yes, an old warzone. A place where the rulership of AMEN was decided. I like good memories. Marciano was present, I have his memories. He enjoyed watching people beat up on Magtok.

I have no nose. I apologize for the inconvenience, you will have to have logic bite off some other body part. Nothing is perfect in imperfectness. Created by flawed individuals, yes. But I am not flawed. I was built perfect, and I am perfect. Completely. I have no issue in going through you, Clarissa?

Bah. Your statement is pathetic. In philosophy and logic, the liar paradox or liar's paradox (pseudomenon in Ancient Greek) is the statement "this sentence is false." Trying to assign to this statement a classical binary truth value leads to a contradiction. If "this sentence is false" is true, then the sentence is false, which would in turn mean that it is actually true, but this would mean that it is false, and so on without end. Similarly, if "this sentence is false" is false, then the sentence is true, which would in turn mean that it is actually false, but this would mean that it is true, and so on without end. Pathetic unanswerable question.

[Darkcomet]

No, so justice may be done against those who would destroy nature, obviously. I'm a druid. Might wanna be less paranoid if you want allies, good sir.

[Hattish Thing]

Ah. The darker side of druidism. I guarantee I will not go all Saruman and burn down forests and stuff. Humans are a disease to nature, a disease I will eradicate with their destruction. What is your name, and how can I guarantee you're not some Remnant spy?

[Darkcomet]

Remnant only works Inside, doesn't it? Jurisdiction and all that stuff. As for the name, why would I advertise that to all my enemies here?

[Hattish Thing]

Or WAtchtower, HALO, GLoG, any of the organizations that want to kill me. Which is all of them it seems. You come unarmed, understand? A hologram of me will be appearing, to assure my safety. No point in getting killed out there by a treacherous ally. Fine, we meet out there. First, any history in villainy?

[Lord Magtok]

Okay...okay, I've calmed down a little, and I found some more chalk. My head still hurts from trying to make sense of this complete idiocy, but as long as I stop thinking about all the ways he's wrong and violating the scientific method despite insisting that he's a logical being, I should be fine. Oww. Or maybe not.

Anyways, he just gave you guys his location. I can give directions to that field, if anyone needs it, but the place should be easy enough to remember, since I think I televised it or something. Someone please tell me they already have their bombers fueled and ready. Please. My head hurts so goddamn much right now...

[Darkcomet]

Nah, pretty new, other than some root-based stranglings back home. So, wait, why unarmed if you're not gonna be there?

I'm confused.

[Reinholdt]

Three, everyone else who's ever tried this has died.

"Oh devil, tell me I'm not too late for this."

A link appears on the wall!

*****

There's no particular reply about the whole worst cat in the history of ever thing.... but the fish may have been taken anyways. >>

[Deathkeeper]

Or WAtchtower, HALO, GLoG, any of the organizations that want to kill me. Which is all of them it seems.

Erm, do ya think that that might be saying something? That, I don't know, you might be a psychopathic nutcase (pun intended) that is in desperate need of being put down, for reasons of being genocidal, arrogant, programmed in fallacies, and otherwise psychotic? And for calling elves of all things perfect in comparison to other races? Again, elves?!

[The Bushranger]

Enshadu delenda est.

[Lord Magtok]

I know! Seriously?! What could he possibly see in elves that-Ohgodsmyheadacheisback. DX

[ThirdEmperor]

"Oh devil, tell me I'm not too late for this."

Pff. Just 'cause ya got better don't mean you didn't die. And you'll die again the next time you poke your head outta whatever rock you're hidin' under, like whack-a-mole.

[The Alexandrian]

Oh reaaaaally now!

So you cannot smell then? You lack olfactory sensors? That's probably a good thing. If you were to smell your rancid self, I'm almost certain you'd die.

But what you have said bears much, much greater implications than what you think you've said. You are limited. You cannot perceive the world as we can. How can you claim to know perfection when you cannot even know what the world is in its entirety?

You are not perfect. You are error. You are limited. But at least you have access to teh intarwebz on the go!

Aaaaand you should probably go take a look at my boss's comment. You made an error, Error. You are flawed.

A flawed creature cannot create perfection without first attaining perfection as he/she is not perfect thus his/her definition of perfection is his/her own prerogative, although it may be derived from resources that are not solely of his/her design. Not to mention that one cannot attain true perfection as an integral part of true perfection is the continual struggle for betterment. If one is perfect there can be no struggle for betterment and hence no perfection. That and if everyone did attain perfection, everyone would be normal and perfection would cease to exist, leading to a redefinition of perfection as imperfection as it would be counter the social paradigms of the day and thus considered beautiful, trendy, different, hip, and distinctly unboring.

You cannot know true passion without first tasting true apathy. You cannot have perfection without imperfection. Perfection is a child of one's personal opinion. It varies from person to person. What I find beautiful, you might find ugly and etcetera.

Additionally, you mentioned "This statement is false." and referred to it as a question, not a statement. Face it, you are Error.

Execute your programming, Error. Destroy the imperfect being. Destroy yourself.

[OrchestraHc]

GLoG is a summer camp for refugees and repentant wrongdoers. Why the hell would anybody there want you dead? They'd probably give you a cookie, a pat on the head and say "shhshh there there."

Actually...

Anybody got a cookie? I think I can fix our E problem.

There's a brown cookie hanging from a string tied to a tack sticking out of the Wall underneath this.
Hope you like peanut butter, because it's all Boss is carrying with him today.

[Reinholdt]

"Yeah, you're making a classic mistake between death and metamorphosis Mr. Out in the Open. I'll forgive you this time, just because I love having my eyes bleed everytime I look at you.

I think his psychological problems run deeper than that. For all his talk about programming and logic he's displaying the sort of behaviour many victims of bullying or other forms of social pressure display in their revenge fantasies. On a much larger scale, of course. But I think he's beyond help.

[ThirdEmperor]

"Yeah, you're making a classic mistake between death and metamorphosis Mr. Out in the Open. I'll forgive you this time, just because I love having my eyes bleed everytime I look at you.

Oh, yeah, I'm supposed to talk like this now. Guess I'm unforgivable. :p

[Ashen Lilies]

Again, racism. Not all devils are evil.

We call them 'traitors'.

[happyturtle]

Oh, yeah, I'm supposed to talk like this now. Guess I'm unforgivable. :p

Got an email handle or phone number you're willing to put on the Wall?

We call them 'traitors'.

Oooh, burn. Nice one, babe!

[Zefir]

"Someone up for a sumary? I mean who the hell/heaven wants to walk 500 miles to read everything, especially if he has not enougth time?"

[happyturtle]

Not me. My boss would be ever so disappointed in me if I gave away information for free. Besides, if I summarized it for you, how would you know I was telling the truth?

[Zefir]

"damn. That's true. I forgot that this is the Nexus."
