We've thought through so much, but it's time you faced the real me back up there.
*Points up*
I'll tell you what I came up with next time we meet.
Finished already? I was ready to clock in some overtime for this.

Finished already? I was ready to clock in some overtime for this.
<Snipped quote by Stratocracy>
No, just thoughts out loud. There's no such thing as thoughts I keep here; you get to hear them all. I need to think up a way for me to win, and him to lose.
Well, you already know what I think about that. But we need to dig deeper for it to hit home for you it seems.
<Snipped quote by Stratocracy>
Once she's gone, that's it. It's not time for that choice yet. And no, I can't die when I want to. They're just thoughts, the start of plans.
Right, but is that the hypothetical you’re getting at when you proposed those two alternatives? I’m trying to make sure we’re on the same page here.
<Snipped quote by Stratocracy>
Her? She's a pet I keep around to nag me.
*Pops my knuckles with a painful-sounding crack*
But you gave me the start of a plan. If I am him, he wins. If I'm not him, I lose. I need a third path.
Uh huh.
*Clears my throat*
What do you mean by that? Are you proposing those as solutions where you hunt yourself?
<Snipped quote by Stratocracy>
Not a real threat to you. Some of what you say feels like you just want to trick me to not be who I want to be. If that's true, I'll be mad.
*Yawns*
But the hunt. I might find and hunt a thing he cares for.
My offer still stands. All I want is for you to be in understanding with yourself, because I’ve listened to part of you that sings a very different tune.
*Arches my back and leans backwards, stretching*
You think he had a thing he cared for? Sounds like he didn’t care for anything, the way you describe him.
<Snipped quote by Stratocracy>
No drive to hunt. Too slow.
*Balances the mug on my nose*
Hunt, huh...?
Even if true, there would be the off chance we cross paths.
<Snipped quote by Stratocracy>
You have too much faith in the real me.
If there’s one thing I don’t doubt that you are, it’s capable.
<Snipped quote by Stratocracy>
*Scrunches my lips and eyebrows into a doubtful expression*
I have no clue who you are.
You’ve seen me. I don’t try to hide myself in the real world. You know enough to find me if you wanted.
<Snipped quote by Stratocracy>
You're all here on a whim is what I mean. In a dream. No stakes.
That’s not really true is it? You know who I am. You could come try to hunt me down in real life whenever you liked, if you liked. Especially now that we’ve spoken.
<Snipped quote by Stratocracy>
*Returns an incredulous look*
No, it's not. It's just "since I can."
Anything is just "since I can" if you're reductive enough about it. It's the substance that matters. Even to a why as trivial as doing things "just for fun."
