Oh, I meant long-term. What's your future?


Imma work my way up the ranks as high as I can. Eventually maybe I’ll run the show completely, who knows?
<Snipped quote by Stratocracy>

So for you, what is your will for where you go from here?


I dunno. Whatever strikes my fancy. Maybe I’ll check back in at the office, see what’s up with work? But I’ll figure that out when I get there.
<Snipped quote by Stratocracy>

That sort of thing is very popular where I’m from. It really helps us figure out the right path.


If it works, it works. I'm not gonna knock it that hard, but I am gonna say I pass on all that stuff.
<Snipped quote by Stratocracy>

So your kind just ignore destiny entirely? I could understand it if you did that for fate, since it’s inevitable, but aren’t you worried you’re going to miss out on a better future?


It’s not a “kind” thing. It’s a me thing. Lots of people individually just choose to believe it or not, but that’s my and a lot of other people’s takeaway too.

Besides, I’m sure it’s also different if you come from a place with a bit more mystical attunement.
<Snipped quote by Stratocracy>

Wow, that’s a little sad, isn’t it?


I mean, it is what it is. I’m not gonna try and say prophecy and all the stuff in that vein is entirely bad all the time. But it has a tendency, is all.
<Snipped quote by Stratocracy>

Oh, really? I wonder why your people's history is so different.


It's a common theme for knowledge of the future to cause people to take actions that ruin things, intentionally or otherwise.

It’s not all negative. They often have great messages for people who seek them out.


Peering into the future is bad juju in many of my experiences, both my own and told to me.
<Snipped quote by Stratocracy>

I’ve never talked to someone who had anything bad to say about an oracle. They have proven track records.


Oracles and seers and all of their like are notorious for influencing negative predictions to come about by sharing information that causes people to act in a way that brings it about. Tale as old as time.
<Snipped quote by Stratocracy>

It’s always worked so far.


Always is a strong claim.
<Snipped quote by Stratocracy>

They can. They can show you a lot other than your future, too.


Uh huh. I’d definitely trust my entire life to some folks who call themselves seers.
