[ tch. elliot's not normally one for advice-giving, but he's going to flick on the communication device regardless, his (usual) look of annoyance firm on his face for all the network to see. ]

If you want to make life easier for yourself and everyone else, don't go around trying to be [ oz vessalius ] some sort of self-sacrificing hero. It's idiotic and stupid and it pisses people off.

Don't make a point of looking for offence.

[forhishonor]

I'm not being offensive! How is what I said offensive? It's only the truth.

[a_parting_word]

I said you're looking for it, not causing it.

[superbeast]

[ooooh, this guy.]

Somehow all that just seems completely backwards.

[forhishonor]

It isn't! All the so-called heros do is run around without caring what their actions do to other people. Everyone thinks being the chosen one and having to do everything is the hardest part, but it's not.

[ being left behind is ]

[superbeast]

"The chosen one"? People still do that kind of thing? [mostly to himself there, but.]

... Well, I do kind of agree with you there about actions carelessly affecting other people being bad. [even though he was guilty of it. oof.] But I think there are times when it's the right choice to act that way. Small acts of sacrifice here and there aren't that terrible.

[baitswitch]

My, what an astoundingly sweeping statement.

[forhishonor]

[ B( you bet it is ]

Are you mocking me?

Don't be so quick to take offense! I was merely providing an innocent observation.

[undespairing]

That's some pretty good advice! Though if they enjoy being a self-sacrificing hero I don't think I'd argue.

[forhishonor]

Even if it hurts the people around them?

[undespairing]

Well if it'd bring more frowns than smiles than sure, I guess I might try to convince them to stop! I'd rather not make them stop smiling for someone else's sake, though. If they'd die happy, then why not?

[oceantrauma]

But what if you're not trying? What if you're just doing what seems right at the time?

[forhishonor]

That doesn't excuse anything! Just because it seems right doesn't mean it is right.

[oceantrauma]

But not every situation falls under one category or the other. And who gets to decide what makes it right?

[crowing]

I don't know, dude.

That sounds like the making of a true man.

[forhishonor]

It's the making of an idiot.

There's a great deal of sense in what you say, dear sir...

[ hello, you are elliot's new best friend ]

Of course there is. What kind of person willingly goes to do things that hurt the people that are important to them?

[worldofourown]

[Good God, Elliot! Gentlemen don't befriend murderers!]

A foolish one? Or perhaps one who's desperately bored?

[Or, hey, perhaps crazy like Karl?]

[forhishonor]

[ STFU XERXES BREAK ]

I don't go around sacrificing myself for others!

[knaveswitness]

Wasn't that your new calling in life? Was I mistaken- goodness, next my hearing will be going-

[forhishonor]

[ why is everyone mocking him?? ]

No, I've been forced to watch everyone else run around like idiots.
