Ω → four [text]

I will be willing to sell the locations of candy that I have no taken for myself, in exchange for favors that I can and will call in, later.

These transactions will remain confidential, and I will not inform anyone that I have divulged such a location to you. As for how I know these locations, I will not share. I am, however, a man of my word. It is, after all, a hallmark of any respectable business integrity.

- Wilhelm

[ A proverbial deal with the devil, as a certain Testament and mutant might realize. Dare you take this offer? ]

The Compass does.

[ That's awfully blunt, isn't it? ]

[Tohko is puzzled by that sentence.]

The Compass? What is that? Is that what you use to see into the future?

If so..then maybe it's wrong.

That is correct.

Until I see an alternative path forward for humanity, I will continue to seek the Eternal Recurrence. Humanity's survival is more important to me than sentiment or hypotheticals.

But couldn't humanity's survival be improved by thinking about those hypothetical's and understanding the sentiment?

No.

[ Well, that was blunt. ]

Hm. Why not? Don't have enough time to? Or is it not worth thinking about and understanding?

Humanity will not be able to save itself until the Collective Unconscious is strong enough. No amount of sentiment will be able to change this.

Then, other than Eternal Recurrence, how can people make the Collective Unconscious stronger?

And while I admit that sentiment might not always be needed, at least thinking about the hypothetical's can lead to a better future.

I will confess that I do not know. But I do not have the luxury of speculation. Humanity's survival is too important.

It is important that humanity's song doesn't end..but in figuring this out, wouldn't it be a lot faster to help out humanity?

Expediency is irrelevant to me. I am several billions of years old. It is, perhaps, a foreign concept to me. A long time for humanity is, to me, an instant. A long time for me would seem like an eternity to you.

In the end, what is important is not what is most convenient, but what will work.

I understood that you were an immortal already. I know that time feels differently to you than it does for me. A blink of an eyes for you is three thousand years for me.

However..wouldn't it be interesting to find out if what will work and what's convenient connect somehow?

If such a thing were possible, I would already know of it.

[Tohko sighs when she reads this message. She'd love to be able to prove him wrong, to think of an alternative, but..even though this annoys her..]

I see. Sadly, I suppose that option is impossible in this situation then. However, there may be others that neither of us are thinking about.

You are welcome to come up with ideas. However, I would advise you not to become overly optimistic.

I can't promise you that. However, I'll think of ideas and let you know once a month what I find. Does that sound good?

It sounds acceptable.

[ Note that he didn't exactly say 'good,' per say. ]

Alright then.

[Tohko notices the word choice, but decides not to comment on it. At least he was willing to look at whatever she came up with..even it he thought it would only be 'acceptable.'.]
