I feel as a group of people, we've gone over many of the logistics, the fears and the desire to connect with others. We carry within ourselves, a world that may be long gone but continues to breathe in our hearts and I hope we can bring what is best of all our worlds together.

So my question is this: What kind of plans do you have for yourself? What kind of future do you hope to achieve?

Perhaps by working together, we can all come closer to our goals.

What kind of investigation?

[agradecido]

Before I came here, the biggest hurdle for an elf in society was the prejudice of others. I know this is not true here, as I've found no such stigma, and everyone is so diverse of appearance that there is little objection to mere pointy ears. Which makes me wonder what the actual social hurdles are.

That is what bears investigating.

[axiomed]

[ There are bound to be some, true. Still. ]

And if they're not large hurdles?

[agradecido]

Then I suppose we shall see how high an elf can climb.

Did you know that Her Imperial Majesty was once a dancer?

[axiomed]

I'm afraid I'm not sure what you mean.

[agradecido]

In the red light district. That's how she caught the eye of the late Emperor. They still tell tales of her great skill and beauty.

It just makes me wonder.

[axiomed]

It is not unheard of, I suppose.

[agradecido]

I'm not sure I'd like that much responsibility. not really bred for it, you know.

[axiomed]

I don't think anyone is bred for responsibility. They either have it and use it wisely or they don't.

[agradecido]

One could argue that some have the temperament for it while others do not, however. "Born leaders," as you will.

[axiomed]

Perhaps, but I do not believe anyone is born into it. Because it takes more than a natural disposition to work for the greater good. That's never enough.

[agradecido]

Never were truer words spoken. I've seen enough leaders come and go to know a bit about them.

Just a bit.

[axiomed]

How so? Spent time with them in some way?

[agradecido]

Now and then. A few quite intimately, in fact.

[Deliberate ambiguous wording, thy name is Zevran Arainai.]

[axiomed]

[ Thankfully, Charles is quite well-versed in ambiguity. ]

No wonder you can talk of it so expansively.

[agradecido]

And yourself, serah? You sound like you've met a few yourself.

[axiomed]

Not particularly. I simply have a good grasp on human nature.

[agradecido]

Oh? Do tell.

[axiomed]

There isn't much to say.

[ And he's not going to blurt out his powers in a public post. Charles may be trusting but he's not naive. ]

It's akin to intuition.

[agradecido]

I've often found intuition is informed by experience.

Well, either that or magic.

[axiomed]

I ran a school. Nothing prepares you for experience like managing a lot of teenagers.

[agradecido]

Teenagers? [Forgive him, Charles, he is a Ye Olde.]

Did you teach anything in particular?
