In a mountain. In the ground. In a planet.


Fair.
Time to begin my search...


Eh. Zangoose is a classic and easy to get. Plus, it gave me Pokerus on my pokemon White game that got lost or stolen along with my 3DS and now Pokerus is gone forever.

On the contrary, I don't believe you'll help just because I'm in need of help. Nor would I label this my "absolute last resort." That implies that I have several options that are acceptable to use beforehand. This is simply the best of several very terrible options. I understand that you mistrust me, but you're truly reading too far into this. I haven't told a lie since I was six, and while I assumed you would be observant enough to form the view you did, like I said, I'm betting on things outside of my control.

You misunderstand my point. The fact that you may be making a gamble here makes it very difficult for both of us; in fact, you've entirely disconnected the variable, if true. If you had this planned in the first place, there'd be a constant to derive a result from. But because the results may be entirely unknown to you, it being a risk instead of a calculated means, there is no way for us to determine whether we should help you. Whether intentional or not, you've effectively reduced the chances to a clean 50/50. And I don't like that.

They're quite beautiful, though I'm more of a computery guy myself.

Or in.


In how?

Well, I think I see where we stand.


On a planet.

Uhm. No, there aren't really any holes in it. Unless you mean "when applying actual real world science to it."


No, there really are. Take Nagisa's "natural talent for assassination." I'm not totally finished with the second season (episode 20 or so), but even with some sort of explanation, it doesn't particularly make sense. Karma giving up the final blow in the fight also didn't make sense. He claimed it was because the groups wouldn't unify if he did, but that's not very realistic, nor does it fit in with Karma's personality. He also went in with a ton of skill, destroying two of the tentacles in his first day, but as the common trope of anime goes, quickly loses those skills when new characters join the fray. He's presented as one of the strongest out there and is for a few episodes, but he quickly becomes just another part of the cast.

Haxors have no lives, correct.

*Smiles slightly* Very observant. In the simplest terms, I have very limited options. The fact that I cannot disclose information that may seem trivial is detrimental to me as well as to you. I was also unable to choose a desirable path, as my purpose here was changed against my expectations and against my will. I intended for other things to happen before approaching a surrogate, but several dead ends were reached that, on the whole, have left me in a situation where I have little to no chance to succeed. Since I also have limited time, my actual desires have little impact on what I can and can't do to try to reach my goal. As it is, my bet is on several things entirely out of my control. I cannot give you certain information, and I refuse to give you other information. As such, you don't trust me and are not likely to complete my request. Retaining my observer status requires severely limiting my possible actions, so I cannot do any of the things that would otherwise increase my chances. My angle is desperation.

That's not a question I can answer in a consistent way.


And you believe that we will simply give in due to this? And I doubt this is actually the absolute last resort; in fact, it's entirely probable that you have presented this information to us in falsehood in order to gain trust that would not be there otherwise. It's possible you predicted my predictions entirely, or someone more strategically minded did.

Take another look.
