That's a nice way to say he has a stick up his ass.
[ With a few exceptions, Rapt0r's words don't carry much weight. And though this isn't nearly as heavy as the weight of the word fun, there's just a glimmer of sharpness about it. Or maybe it's just the sound quality fritzing now and again. ]
He does. His categories are different from society though, at least the above ground kind. And anyone who actually lives in this era.
Well, that just reminds me... what is this era? I've come to understand we're all from very different places, so I can't even begin to guess what standards he is or isn't fitting.
[ Haro, from the background: ] Oh my!
Is space travel a possibility for you? Or him, for that matter?
I was like that before, but it's different now. Not in the same way he was, cuz he's stuck in the stone age cuz he wants to be. In his glory days or whatever.
But with me I was stuck on the same level cuz I never cleared one of the first ones.
Moving forward is a difficult thing... Every step you take is a step you might find yourself tempted to reget at a later point. Unless you're resolved to accept the consequences, it's often more comfortable to stay right where you are.
But dwelling on the past can easily hurt both oneself and others.
I like your way of thinking about it. Clearing a level is not something one wants to take back, right? Wherever the path leads, a higher level is a good thing to reach.
[ Having military equipment on hand is a privilege and having people willing to fight and die for her is an even greater one. Neither of these privileges carry over to this place. Here, she's just a girl with a little pink orb. Even the power vested in her through the power of propaganda is null and void now.
That part, however, comes as a relief. ]
Right now, all I want is to talk. However... I can't guarantee that I won't become your enemy in the future. I trust that isn't much of a surprise.

My, it looks as though my home is quite ahead of yours there! I live in a space colony, as it happens. It's quite normal to me.
Is Ho-Oh's time even earlier than yours, then?
no subject
He might as well be. He's the kinda guy who's living in the past no matter what he says.

[ For Rapt0r, but also for Ho-Oh himself. ]

You know—usually the people I gotta talk to about this don't like terms like that. Or they don't really get it so it's gotta be said all grand like.
no subject
But I get the basics! And if it's the words closest to how you really think, then why would I ask you to change them?
no subject
[ It's half a question. ]
Just look at Ho-oh and his stupid palm tree. He could've just used a bot too.

Speech like yours is a nice change of pace.

I'm acting head of state for my home country.

Though... he did perish while engaged in battle with the forces I was leading, so I suppose your intuition isn't totally off.
[ Background Mr. Pink input: ] Let's play!

Cuz I know how things go. No one really gives up power like that unless they bite it. You have any ideas about doing that to us?
