It hurts, mainly.

@Multifarious

Don't like pain?

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

Mhm~ The same thing that'll keep us from dying outside this place when we're offed makes it so we have to be killed by someone else~

@The World

Really? That's pretty cool. Let's see how it works.

@Etcetera

I don't know why I would, really. Pain hurts.

@Multifarious

What is pain, really?

[Multifarious]

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

What is pain, really?

@Etcetera

Whatever it is, I don't like it.

[Etcetera]

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

Whatever it is, I don't like it.

@Multifarious

But really, think about it. What is the feeling of pain, and why do people not like it?

@Etcetera

Pain is one of te kinds of signals nerves send to the brain, but people don't like it simply because it is natural not to.

@Multifarious

Yeah, but what makes pain worse than taste? It's pretty interesting to think of.

@Etcetera

Pain is the body's way of telling you, "Hey, there's something happening and it should definitely not be happening." Taste is just, "Yo, there's something in your mouth, dude."

@Multifarious

But that doesn't say why.

@Etcetera

It does. Obviously, when the body is telling you something is going on that shouldn't, that is going to be a disturbing feeling... You don't like pain, do you?

@Multifarious

I'm not very sensitive to pain, but I don't like it. But among all things, "pain" doesn't really make sense as a concept. Why is it inherently "worse" that tasting something sweet, or feeling something warm?

@Etcetera

If you really, really wanted to stretch it, you could boil it down to opinion, since masochists do exist.

@Multifarious

That's not what I'm saying. The concept of pain can't be explained. It just is.

[Balance]

<Snipped quote by Balance>

Know what?

@Etcetera

Context, I think? Not sure what I meant there.

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

Izel:....Well. i'm glad that you are alive, mom.
Iris: I am ever more glad to see you alive, Izel.
*goes over to hug you*
Welcome home.
*turns to Jellal*
Sorry you had to hear that. You are always welcome to come over.

@Ignacious

-Ruby- Aww, such a nice reunion.

<Snipped quote by Balance>

That was all Sreig.

@Ignacious

-Ruby- Well, pass over my compliments, please. It's nice! I'm sure he thought of a lot of good ideas while he was... away.

[Dynamics]

<Snipped quote by Dynamics>

You can stop, David. You've disturbed the girl by now.

@Disdain

You already ruined it, so I sealed her in.

@Etcetera

By that logic, surely the concept of taste or touch can't be explained either. Why can't it be a feeling the mind creates in response to something bad--a feeling that it generally considers bad? After all, touch is a feeling the mind creates in response to what an object is like under your touch.

@Dynamics

It isn't my fault the master told me to go with you so late. But I'd better go talk with her, just in case she's got the mind of a girl, too, and she's scared of... whatever you just did.
