high school martial artist yells at cloud

[momentaryspring]

You all acted like I was delusional for taking a picture of a creepy man in black, but WHAT HAVE YOU TO SAY NOW?

Does the disappearance of an entire species from the public consciousness strike you as a bit odd? And I just spent a good thirty minutes stuck inside the most suspicious headquarters building imaginable!

I'm not saying I told you so, but I told you so.

I'm sure if the two of you were trapped, and you broke the door to get out, he'd probably let you off the hook.

[momentaryspring]

Maybe. Luckily, it didn't come to that. So I guess I'll have to wait for another opportunity to break a door down.

You like smashing stuff...?

[momentaryspring]

Doesn't everyone?

No...? I know some who don't.

[momentaryspring]

Really? How odd. I suppose if one were a particularly gentle sort...

[divine_braid]

lol maybe

or you just like breaking stuff more than most.

[momentaryspring]

Is that right?

Hmm... what about building sand castles and knocking them down? Or playing Jenga? Don't tell me you enjoy setting it up more than watching it fall down!

[divine_braid]

Dude... the whole point of both of those things is to keep them standing.

Sandcastles are like sculptures. You don't want to destroy something you put a lot of hard work into creating.

And the point of Jenga is to keep it up and not let it fall. You lose the game if it falls.

[momentaryspring]

Sand castles are inherently fleeting. Even if you don't destroy them, they fall apart in a day, so you might as well pretend you're Godzilla and give yours a good stomping before you go.

And the point of Jenga is to prevent it from falling on your turn. You win if you make the other player destroy the tower instead.

[divine_braid]

Yeah, but you can preserve them to some extent by digging a channel to redirect the water.

Aaaand, if you do something to make the tower fall while it's your opponent's turn, that's technically cheating.

[momentaryspring]

That's only kicking the can down the road.

Also, it's not cheating if it's not against the rules. Don't tell me you've never tried to distract someone during a Jenga game.

[divine_braid]

Well, as long as you're only doing it to your own sandcastle, I guess it doesn't really matter in the long run.

Distracting isn't cheating. Finding a way to specifically make it fall is.

[momentaryspring]

I suppose we can agree on that.

[divine_braid]

There, see? Middle ground.
