The Last Post Wins!!!!!

[Gears]

If we pretend the game is not a game, we give it more weight than it deserves. 

[Alvron]

Very well.  I concede that part.

[Vapor she/her]

I HAVE TO WIN!

[Gears]

Why seek victory? The joy is not in winning but in snatching the crown from the heads of others.

[Vapor she/her]

How's life?

[Gears]

Naisturokara poretikai

[Vapor she/her]

I forgot that language. It seems like it's been so long.

[Gears]

I feel tempted to insult you. 

[Vapor she/her]

Then go ahead.

[Gears]

Thou art not worth the effort it would take to deposit insults upon your head.

[Vapor she/her]

Why thank you!

[Gears]

I sometimes put things of great effort here, just so they'll exist but be forgotten, buried beneath the weight of cheap and fleeting victory, lost amongst all the trash that might have been treasure if only someone had taken the time to look. It makes me feel better in some unperceivable way.

[Vapor she/her]

Feel... better?

[Gears]

No expectations. What you produce can be garbage so long as it exists.

[Vapor she/her]

What I produce is almost always garbage.

[Gears]

And it will be crushed beneath the words of the weak and weary.

[Vapor she/her]

I like how poetic you are.

[Alvron]

As do I.

[Gears]

The silvery twigs only look like needles, in a certain slant of light. 

[Vapor she/her]

But you are also really random.

[Gears]

I thank thee for thy kind words and hope to defy thy expectations in the near future.

[Vapor she/her]

I don't have expectations for you, you always defy them.

[Gears]

Success is easily attained. 

[Vapor she/her]

Y'know, sometimes you make no sense.

[Gears]

I intentionally tried to make sense with that statement. How dare.
