So, if it needed to be said, given the part of the announcement that states that the groups we have been split into "will have no impact on the rest of the game", whatever that means, it seems likely that we will part ways after this, though simple probability dictates that we will likely run into at least a few members of our starting group once more.
Personally, I could not disagree more with the notion that these groups "will have no impact on the rest of the game". It gives those of like groups an opportunity for coalition that those of unlike groups will have had no chance for prior.
It is merely a matter of making the most of the opportunity granted.
Given that I am more familiar with and... relatively comfortable with each of you, as opposed to these three other entirely unknown groups, I propose that I would be 'game' for some sort of alliance, should any others be willing. What exactly this would entail could be discussed further. (edited)

Hmm... I see. I certainly could find such an arrangement agreeable.

Amusing. Truly amusing. The amusement I am experiencing at your expense. It's so wonderful, wonderful I tell you! It's so wonderful that humans are creatures filled so deeply with the credence that their existences are above all else, that their lives are special!

...I don't much care what the rest of you do. As long as you make it interesting. Don't make me bored, okay...?

I can certainly attempt to oblige that much, Bernkastel.

Heh. Hehahahaha!
However slim that chance may be, the TATARI will allow me to reach The Sixth. That is the only wish I can grant, one that justifies all the curses.

You guys are all varying levels of crazy. I'm just gonna try and do what I'm used to.

Well, as has been proven, it appears that I am the only one in this room who upholds the ideal of the ego as much as I do!

And, after all, at the end of the day, it is true that an alchemist of the ATLAS never jump into action without the possibility of success, however slim may it be.

Even if you had met your match in your philosophy, you'd never know it, I would think. After all, what interest would they have in demonstrating to someone much less important than themselves their superiority?

Max Stirner BOT 10-Mar-22 06:48 PM
Indeed!
I am glad that my ideas have been understood.
Besides, the fact that you yourself appear to be talking about things that only you seem to be knowledgeable on, Zepias, shows to me that you are quite self-centered yourself!
Although, of course, you never claimed to be a human, but neither have I.
On that note, out of pure personal curiosity, what is each of you actually looking for, working here in this theatre?

Sure, I will humor you. I can't deny that you've humored me. I wish to bring about an unpredictable world.

And so, may this play, nay, may this world become unpredictable, but certain!

Interesting!

Zepia Eltnam Oberon BOT 10-Mar-22 06:55 PM
But naturally, as a work of improvisation, this piece will be more unpredictable than most.

An unpredictable world...?

Max Stirner BOT 10-Mar-22 06:57 PM
I will be most curious to see how you were to achieve such a thing in an already quite surprising world, then!
Avatar
Bernkastel BOT 10-Mar-22 06:58 PM
I'll have to keep an eye on you... Your goal sounds far more interesting than what the others seem to be.

Klahadore BOT 10-Mar-22 06:58 PM
The world is surprising only to those who know little. As you learn, more becomes as expected.

Zepia Eltnam Oberon BOT 10-Mar-22 07:00 PM
... Now then. These auditions are finished. The scene shifters will take care of the rest, and I must hurry to the next stage. Zepia dissipates.

I don't think this is the most surprising thing I've seen today.
And I hope that the momentum carries on forward!

Klahadore BOT 10-Mar-22 07:01 PM
Certainly not for I, either.

Bernkastel BOT 10-Mar-22 07:02 PM
...If any of your presence is still here to hear me... If you think bringing about this "unpredictable world" of yours will take a miracle to happen... Well, I suppose we can talk more once the pieces are set and the game starts. (edited)

This 'game' speak has been recurring... What an interesting turn of phrase.
