[ 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.

[superbeast]

[ooooh, this guy.]

Somehow all that just seems completely backwards.

[baitswitch]

My, what an astoundingly sweeping statement.

[forhishonor]

[ B( you bet it is ]

Are you mocking me?

[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 ]

[forhishonor]

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

[undespairing]

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

[a_parting_word]

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

[baitswitch]

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

[forhishonor]

An 'innocent' observation? From the Hero of Sablier?

[ don't make him laugh ]

[baitswitch]

[Elliot, Elliot, Elliot. What to do with you.]

The stories about me are larger than I am. 'People' can be annoyed by self-sacrificing heroism while also weaving tales.

[forhishonor]

I'm not a child, Gilbert. I know how to stay out of trouble.

[a_parting_word]

In light of recent events, is that something you should really be saying?

[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?

[forhishonor]

[ he just wants to live a normal life, okay? is that really so hard? ]

Then what's the truth? You're here now; you can clear that up.

[forhishonor]

............

I'm fine now, aren't I?

[ pushing that. underneath the rug. yep. ]

[baitswitch]

I know you don't think me a hero. Maybe that's the truth.

You're... no, that's -

[a_parting_word]

...apologize. Apologize for giving me a reason for fri - concern. It's the gentlemanly thing to do, isn't it? Taking... responsibility? Apologize and promise never to -

[ Worry. ]

Surprise me like that again.

[oceantrauma]

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

[crowing]

I don't know, dude.

That sounds like the making of a true man.

[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.

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