*Laughs*
Well if you’re hunting people, of course they want to kill you.

@Artifact

*laugh*
Yeah, it didn’t seem like they realized that till latee.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Asce>

What do you retire from, then? Life?

@Artifact

Basically stop going out and hunting those beings or doing things that could create friction and start. Just relax at home. I think my family has pretty much taken care of all of the things that could come back to them.

<Snipped quote by Asce>

It's not like people who have immense power are always outputting enough for it to be detected either. When you see it in action, then the person behind it becomes interesting.

@Revolutionary

Hm, yeah I can see that.

<Snipped quote by Revolutionary>

I’m just thinking, if they have swarms of these elite warriors that need to be defeated in hand-to-hand combat... you might be in trouble.

<Snipped quote by Asce>

I thought most of you aren’t heroes.

@Artifact

I would say we aren’t. Just people living out their lives while being in clash with other powerful beings and threats.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Asce>

That is power in its own right, even if not in the literal sense.

@Revolutionary

*nods*
But it’s harder to detect until you face her.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Asce>

The downside to that, I imagine, is that it would have to be easy to drive yourself mad, living day to day just doing things you find so effortlessly easy.

@Revolutionary

That would also depend if you pushed your strength and power to the point of that. For a lot of my parent’s friends, I would agree. Sinon though she doesn’t see the appeal for pushing the boundaries of her power like me and instead honing hers. She hasn’t gained much in terms of power in a large scale, but she is just as dangerous to those who are strong with power with her skill alone.

<Snipped quote by Asce>

So, a “suffering from success” kind of deal, huh? Target on our backs just because of the position we’ve put ourselves in? That’s an interesting one that I haven’t heard before.

@Revolutionary

*nods*
She speculates that’s why some of us who just do “normal” jobstuffs don’t get targeted often, if at all. Even though she is an assassin, she doesn’t get targeted by higher powers cause she does small jobs.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Asce>

Often… But if the problem gets big enough, it becomes personal for literally everyone. Hard to dodge at that point.

@Revolutionary

That’s fair,
*balances my sword on my finger*
my sister and I had a conversation about this once. She says that she has a theory that because we have this knowledge of Existence and we ourselves have immense power that a minuscule amount of people have, we attract the those who wish to over come that power. Even if they don’t know us.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Asce>

If anything, it’s shocking more people don’t retire in this line of work. Tends to be a work-till-you-drop sort of affair.

@Revolutionary

I agree. I am assuming most of the matters nowadays are less personal or have some sort of personal connection for them to care.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Asce>

You won't be revealing all of them though.

@Artifact

Gotta have a bit of mystery and something to talk about later, no?

<Snipped quote by Asce>

It is. But lately, I’m doing it for the people that usually do it themselves.

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

Might want to get a good stretch in beforehand.

@Revolutionary

I understand that completely. Seems like a lot of our folk are gonna retire though. Doing this for who knows how long seems like it’s draining to them when that’s not anything near what they wanted.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Asce>

At least part of it. Minus all the secrets you decide to keep.

@Artifact

Won’t be secrets once I reveal them though.
