By placing yourself into the same danger. And who's to say that he won't adopt the same risk you are now?

@System

Like I said, opportunity knocks. You can't just suddenly delve into this realm of knowledge because you want to, but circumstances changed for me. I can get away with it, but if he tries, he's done. It's over.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Melodious>

Everything in what sense? Some personal objective of yours?

@System

No matter how capable I am, Plouton knows everything. He's in every crevice in my head, and I can't beat him. He knows everything... But, with an ability that is literally dangerous for him to read from my mind, suddenly the tides shift. Suddenly, I can taste true freedom.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Melodious>

I do know that much. So why engage?

@System

Opportunity knocks. Something like this is the answer to everything, Data.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Melodious>

I predict the reality of the situation is much the other way around. More importantly, why?

@System

Why not?
*My shoulders relax a tad*
I'm not sure how much you know, but I assume you know at least that knowledge is dangerous... In the context of these elements anyway.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Melodious>

*Maintains a relaxed posture*
Learning what? The Elements?

@System

Of course. No other reason to be in a place like this, unless you know something I don't?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Melodious>

Who told you that? And what exactly are you doing?

@System

*Backs away a step, and assumes a mildly defensive stance*
I'm learning.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Melodious>

Which people are you referring to? The Hidden Elements masters?

@System

Whoever the peacekeepers are. The people who "keep the balance" or whatever. I was told people would start looking for me if I did this.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Melodious>

I ought to ask you the same question.

@System

I had no idea you were involved with these people.
*Narrows my eyes*
Are you who they sent to hunt me down?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

*Stares back without yet approaching*

@System

*Phase-steps in your direction, fluidly shifting in space from where I was to a few feet in front of you, and I cock an eyebrow and stare incredulously*
What are YOU doing here?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Melodious>

*Detaches the shield and kicks off the ground, using the boosted momentum to fling myself in another direction, while rockets materialize from my soles and propel me forward*

@Server

How far do you think you'll get?
*Takes off after you, then suddenly stops, rolls my eyes, and heads after Zyland instead*
