Why not? You can't teach someone?

@Server

It relies on a skill that you'd have to be born with, not taught.

Love to, so not that it really would.

@Server

*Nods*
Our father deems those of us like myself an incredibly rare breed, and a necessary one. And I occupy a spot that could quite literally not be filled.

<Snipped quote by Magnanimity>

But would it work well enough?

@Server

I would love to be able to say I think it would.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Magnanimity>

That's one way to look at it. But you could also let someone else get the opportunity to step in if you feel like it's not what you want.

@Server

Perhaps. But I exist in a space where I have truly unique capabilities to offer the family. In my absence, nothing could work the same.

<Snipped quote by Magnanimity>

Who relies on you? If you're responsible, then someone has to be depending on you doing this, right?

@Server

My family and the people of the IA, of course. It never has to be specifically me, I suppose, but if I’m best fit for a role people depend on, who am I to decline?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Magnanimity>

Giving up on hope, I'm guessing?

@Server

Moreso that there are always more important things to worry about, you know? Responsibility supersedes desire.

<Snipped quote by Magnanimity>

What is it that you want to do with your life?

@Server

I never have really thought about life strictly from the perspective of what I want. It’s an idea I abandoned a long time ago.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Magnanimity>

You seem pretty down to earth, I think. I would normally think someone like that would be full of themselves.

@Server

*Chuckles*
Perhaps because I ended up jaded to the whole idea? I feel terrible though, to be in my position purely because of what I am gifted with rather than having any sort of desire. But trust me, our family has far more than its fair share of hubris spread about.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Magnanimity>

Sort of like a secret police, then?

@Server

Definitely not quite that far. But idolization has effects, both on the end of society and the individual ego.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Magnanimity>

Hero and a leader? You act like the hero type.

@Server

Leader within the family, a hero in public eye. I really dislike the nomenclature though. I strongly prefer thinking of it as private peacekeeping. People love having heroic idols to look up to but I think the jobs stays more pure without a public aspect to it.
