[ Soon after LILITH hands the decision to Outsiders, Ratio makes a post on the ocular network. ]

I hope you have all had ample time to rest from the aftermath of the kaiju's attack. However, it is time to turn our attention to the future. We have been given an opportunity to decide our next step.

1: Stay in Seoul and assist the city.
2: Chase after the escaped Imugi.

I imagine opinions may be divided on this front, so I would like to open the forum for discussion. Please state your choice and provide thorough reasoning for your decision. You will not convince anyone with a half-baked argument. You may respond to any comment as you please, but remember to stay civil and do not resort to derogatory or inflammatory comments. Should you break this rule, I will revoke your comment permissions.

Keep in mind that your choice will have a grave effect on the people of this planet. It is not one to be made lightly, so do not treat it with levity.

You may use the form below to keep your comment clear and easy to read.

<b>Decision:</b> State your decision here. <b>Reason:</b> Be concise. Bullet form preferred. <b>Other:</b> If you have any other comment to make, do so here.

Well...
What do YOU think is exciting?
You should answer some questions too!

[uncourteous]

Perhaps, delivering a fresh corpse as a gift at my younger brother's banquet? Or, maybe being entrapped in a cave after several assassins aim for my life?

[ irony aside... to be honest, the real answer is callisto never considered leading an exciting life. he simply lived and survived through one he was unfortunately given. that said, it isn't like there weren't other glimmers of exhilaration like with the duke's adopted daughter. not that it mattered now. ]

Did that satisfy your curiosity?

[cranekin]

(You know what


Tsurumaru digs it.)

Yes.

(He's satisfied. And also curious.)

I want an exciting life with many surprises.
Ever since I became alive, I've experienced many surprises. Some of them have been good and others have been bad.
I've been surprised in battle and I've been surprised outside of it, too.
But more than anything, I don't want to waste my life away.

[uncourteous]

[ not tsuru enabling this... ]

So you are fine with "surprises," regardless of what path they end up bringing you on? That is a bold statement. Have you never regretted that desire to seek excitement even once? [ could some have labeled the decision a "surprise"— is what seems to be his real question. ]

[cranekin]

If I wasn't fine with it, I think I'd be more miserable.

(Than he already is.)

No. If I decide to do something, I make sure to do it without regret.

[uncourteous]

[ more miserable... the statement does oddly resonate with him. ]

Who knows? Perhaps, there is an upper limit to misery and you've all but achieved it?

[ except, he knows such a thing doesn't exist. ]

That's no easy feat. Color me impressed. Though, I'm very much the same.
