To be fair, these elements seem to be exceptionally arbitrarily defined. Why not just smush some incredibly strong crystal like diamond into the definition of "element" and use that instead?

<Snipped quote by whizzball1>

Because:
A. I'm not the one that defines what an element is, nor do I have absolute control over it. If I could, I don't think I would be having this problem.
and B: It would be kinda pointless to over specify one specific thing as an element. At that rate it would get way too complicated.

I'll ask him then.

Hey Shinji, is there a problem I can help you with or?

<Snipped quote by Darlit Glitch>

Well, if you'd like to take the simplest, easiest, and most effective solution, be my guest. But why be efficient when you can be in-efficient?

<Snipped quote by Darlit Glitch>

Hey, Nix. Long time no see.... you remember Kirina, right?

<Snipped quote by whizzball1>

Maybe because I'd rather save my energy for later?

<Snipped quote by souleaterfan320>

Long time indeed. Yea, I remember. I'm guessing she did something?

@whizzball1*takes notice of you*

Oh, hey there. Didnt notice you come in. How are you?

<Snipped quote by Darlit Glitch>

... she killed my son. And sent most of her forces to attack all known EDB bases in known existence.

<Snipped quote by Darlit Glitch>

Blasphemy. Waste is haste. Or something. You can tell I base my life choices on misinterpreted maxims.

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

With Rythian, I suspect, my facets will not last. I suspect action in the future, and that ruins my literally flawless complexion.

<Snipped quote by whizzball1>

I'm sorry about that. I hope you regain it soon.

<Snipped quote by souleaterfan320>

Oh, crap... I'm sorry to hear that.
*Looks solemnly thoughtful for a moment.*
Is there any way I might be able to help? I'm still not quite at your guys level yet, but I want to see if I can do something to help.

<Snipped quote by whizzball1>

It's pretty obvious, yea.

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

Well, I have to lose it, first. Right now I am a picture of crystalline perfection. My facets are placed and shaped in the most mathematically efficient configuration for a crystal of my shape. But when I am hurt and my facets are broken or deformed, it takes some time before they recover their pattern. *Stage whisper* Sometimes, I reform very grainy. It's horrible.

<Snipped quote by whizzball1>

I'm sorry to hear that. I hope it works out for you.

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

I do, too. Thank you for caring. Most people laugh because they're not made of crystal, but if you actually had to deal with this? It's a nightmare, especially in our shared occupation.

<Snipped quote by whizzball1>

I'm sure. It must take a lot of skill and effort to be able to thrive under those conditions.

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

Yes! Thank you. It's either wait hours or days or manoeuvre every single out-of-place facet.

<Snipped quote by whizzball1>

I'm sure. I know you'll be able to handle it.

<Snipped quote by Darlit Glitch>

I strive for clarity. If every aspect of my character is not perfectly obvious the moment you meet me I have not done well. It means I have gained—heaven forbid—character depth.

<Snipped quote by whizzball1>

... ok then.
