Yeah, you’re a little fleshy for that one.

Yep. Classic case of carbon overdose.

Guess it can't hurt me then.

Ah, but it can. Common symptoms include bleeding, obsession with digesting other life forms, sub-par humor, and general odor.

I mainly meant the emoticon stuff, but yeah, all that stuff sucks too. Glad to see how acutely aware of all those things you are though.

*the other me cranes my head towards you @Memory but because i'm currently made of light i'm nigh featureeless but you get the "seriously dude?" vibe from me*

HEY LOVER BOY! ARE YOU CURRENTLY STUCK TRYING TO REACH BACK IN TIME TO RETURN TO THE CELL I GOT YOU OUT FROM? CAUSE I AIN'T LETTING YOU ALSO, IT SEEMS YOU GOT SOME TIME RELATIVES HERE ABUSING MY UNIVERSE AND COMING IN SELFRIGHTEOUSLY PREACHING SOME MEANINGLESS GOSPEL ABOUT GREATER TIME!

*The me who is grabbing you @Legend Begins releases you to fall in the sand*

YOU ARE DELUDED BY FAR GREATER BELIEFS AND IDEOLOGIES THAN I'M WILLING TO BOTHER WITH, BUT I WILL NOT BE FIGHTING ANYMORE, SO DO WHAT YOU WILL, YOU WON'T CHANGE A THING HERE WITH THAT KIND OF BULLYING ATTITUDE OF YOURS

*I snap my fingers and the created planet disappears, and the entire universe is turned back since before this entire fight has happened leaving us like beings out of time -- then both of me proceed to sit on a rock nearby and just look at you with a taunting mocking vibe seemingly laughing at what we perceive to be a violent and insane critter*

YOU ARE JUST LIKE ANY BEING OF DISORDER, BUT OKAY, COME ON PREACH YOUR "GOSPEL" AND LET'S SEE IF WHAT YOU WANT DONE HERE ON MY TABLE, WILL BE ACHEIVED OR NOT

@Shadrack Nor

"Bullying." I would have tried diplomacy had the first step not been to attack me.

<Snipped quote by Shadrack Nor>

I have no interest in combat. You, on the other hand, seem adept at it.

@Memory

<Snipped quote by Shadrack Nor>

Can’t you do it without any violence, though? You should have that kind of power.

@Memory

*my voice resonates with a cosmic grandeur, a symphony of light and energy that washes over your senses but you definitely get the frustration and weariness in the tone too, amused, but still...*

YOUR AVERSION TO CONFLICT IS... QUAINT. BUT UNDERSTAND THIS: VIOLENCE, AS YOU PERCEIVE IT, IS MERELY A TOOL, A FORCE OF NATURE LIKE ANY OTHER.

*My form shimmers, the edges blurring as if it were a being woven from starlight and shadow.*

LET US TRANSLATE THE INFINITE AND FUNDAMENTAL CONCEPTS OF THE VASTNESS INTO TERMS YOUR MINUSCULE MIND CAN GRASP. IMAGINE, IF YOU WILL, APPROACHING A STAR, THE VERY HEART OF YOUR SYSTEM, YOUR SUN. IS THE SUN VIOLENT WHEN IT INCINERATES YOU, REDUCING YOU TO ATOMIC DUST? OR IS IT MERELY EXISTING, LOYAL TO ITS PURPOSE AND NATURE?

*My voice deepens, resonating with an ancient wisdom.*

THE SUN GIVES LIFE, NURTURING PLANETS THAT RESPECT ITS BOUNDARIES. IT EXPLODES, BIRTHING NEW WORLDS FROM ITS FIERY DEMISE. IS IT EVIL FOR SCORCHING VENUS AND MERCURY, YET LEAVING MARS AND BEYOND IN A MERCILESS COLD? OR IS IT SIMPLY FULFILLING ITS COSMIC DUTY, ITS COMPLEX DANCE OF CREATION AND DESTRUCTION?

SO TOO IS MY "VIOLENCE" MERELY A REACTION TO THOSE WHO DISRESPECT THE NATURAL ORDER, WHO DARE TO DISRUPT THE DELICATE BALANCE I MAINTAIN. I AM THE SUN, THE CORONA MY POWER, THE LIGHT MY WILL. LIFE FLOURISHES UNDER MY WARMTH, BUT THOSE WHO STRAY TOO CLOSE...

THE COLD OUTER VASTNESS BELONGS TO BEINGS LIKE THAT ABOMINATION, A FESTERING INFECTION UPON THE WOUND OF REALITY. THE INNER GRASP IS WHERE FOOLS LIKE THIS ARCHER DARE TO FLY TOO CLOSE TO MY RADIANT HEART. AND WHEN EITHER OF THESE BOUNDARIES ARE BREACHED, "VIOLENCE," AS YOU CALL IT, IS THE INEVITABLE CONSEQUENCE.

*My eyes, burning with an otherworldly light*

I, TOO, AM A FORCE OF NATURE, A CELESTIAL BODY IN THE VAST EXPANSE OF EXISTENCE. MY ACTIONS, THOUGH THEY MAY APPEAR VIOLENT TO YOUR LIMITED PERSPECTIVE, ARE MERELY THE NATURAL CONSEQUENCES OF MY BEING.

Said "first shot" was mearly means of transportation. The first act of aggression stemmed from your sworded friend.

NOT YOUNG CREATURES SUCH AS HUMANS AND YOUNG REALITIES SUCH AS THIS UNIVERSE... 13 BILLION YEARS IS NOT MUCH WHEN YOU COMPARE TO ABOUT 7 HUNDRED SETS OF INFINITE TIMELINES...

HUMANS AND THE ILK OF SPIRITS AND LESSER CREATURES ARE FAR CLOSER TO THE OUTER VOID DUE TO THE CHAOTIC NATURE OF YOUR EMOTIONS, THOUGHTS AND DESIRES... I WOULD POINT TO A FEW HUMAN MYSTICS THAT MATURED RATHER FAST AND UNDERSTOOD SUCH CONCEPTS FOR YOU TO DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH INTO THE MEANING OF BALANCE, BUT I'M AFRAID YOU ARE FAR TO... STUCK... EMOTIONALLY.

Then I'll make it simple. The council doesn't care about what you do with time in this dimension. You can even extend it to the reaches of the multiverse. But you've started to cast stones into the river's banks, and that is a very dangerous place to be.

Isn't all of this just the philosophy of determinism? Either that or nihilism, if they're even all that different...
