[ There's probably a comment to be said about that, but given the question it's pushed aside. ]

No. I have a world to destroy.

[ Well okay then. ]

[divector]

[ Big Mood. ]

Oh, funny. I have a world I want to destroy as well. But I want someone to make a choice first.

[rapt0r]

[ A beat. ]

Really? [ It doesn't sound particularly incredulous, more a voiced thought than an actual question. ]

Why wait on anyone else?

[divector]

Hmm, that's a good question. I'm not too sure myself. It's something I've wondered about before.

[ Sure would make things easier, but it is what it is. ]

All I know is that something inside me wants this person to make an informed decision. Is there something similar on your end?

[rapt0r]

...not anymore. But I get doing whatever you want, whatever that is. My allies and I are on the same page now.

[divector]

How harmonious. My two allies listen to whatever I say, but we have differing opinions on our methods.

[rapt0r]

Yeah, that's how it used to be. Still kinda is, cuz they all have their own priorities. But we're an actual team unlike before.

Took a while, but that's how grinding is.

[divector]

I think we work well together even when we move individually though.

[ That's nice and all, but more importantly: ]

What do you mean grinding?

[rapt0r]

They still do that, one more than the rest of 'em. It's how it all comes together in the end for our goal.

[ You know, end game.

Speaking of that: ]

Grinding, like in a game? Doing something over and over until you have enough experience to surpass it.

[divector]

[ Well, that's interesting. Will file that away for later. ]

I'm afraid I have no idea what you're talking about, but that sounds like training to me.

[rapt0r]

...you don't have video games? At all?

[ its totally training. for chuunis. ]

[divector]

I don't think so. I feel like I might've heard that word somewhere before, but still, no.

[rapt0r]

Stick around for a bit and you can see.

[divector]

All right then, that sounds like it could be fun.

[rapt0r]

[ ... ]

Anyway, why do you wanna destroy your world?

[divector]

[ :) ]

Well, more like the world as I know it? I think it'll just be better for everyone for Vectors to have the world, not humans.

[rapt0r]

And what's a Vector?

[divector]

Goat-like beings that don't require being in colonies to simply survive.

[rapt0r]

Aren't you human? I'm pretty sure you can't turn into a goat.

[divector]

I may not like a goat, but no, I don't think I am.

[rapt0r]

Then what makes you not human?

[divector]

Hmm? Normal humans don't exactly have the abilities I do, but I also don't quite fit the definition of a Vector. Therefore, I'm neither. That's all.

[ What a question to ask. ]

...I'm more interested in what you define yourself as.

[rapt0r]

I wouldn't call people without abilities normal for one.

[ A pause that might be thoughtful. ]

I'm me. But I've never cared about distinguishing what's "human" like the talking heads or the religious nuts do. The ones who care about mutant evolutions are fossils.

[divector]

I can't see why you wouldn't.

[ What else could they be? That was the line drawn in the sand for as long as she could remember, one she could never cross. ]

Still, that's an interesting way to put it. Though I can't say I know exactly what you mean by fossils there.

[rapt0r]

[ He's really not big on definitions, at least ones like this, so it'll go mostly unexplained for now. But maybe this'll make a bit more sense with the next answer. ]

When people started getting powers it changed everything. Some of 'em were deemed "good" and others "undesirable". Growing a tail meant you were a freak, but being able to fly meant you could be an idol or whatever.

The current do-gooders have moved beyond that into more "acceptable" ways of managing society.
