And I'm here with a group of teenagers. Joy.

<Snipped quote by whizzball1>

Who would you want to show your true self to?

@Etcetera

-Maddie- I'm not a teenager!
-I don't think that's all that reassuring.

-Maddie- Everybody! I don't think there's any benefit in not showing my true self to somebody! Maybe I might hide the extent of my powers so that they underestimate me or something, but that's just good battle tactics!

<Snipped quote by whizzball1>

Huh.

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

*shrugs*

@Extra

Yeah. Hopefully we go find Genesis soon. Things are starting to wind down.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Extra>

Interesting enough.

<Snipped quote by whizzball1>

You don't even try to hide your mind, do you?

@Etcetera

-Maddie- Noper-dopers! Hiding isn't good for talking to people! Or doing anything! If you hide your mind, how can people ever know the real you?

<Snipped quote by whizzball1>

Sixteen? Glad to lnow that I'm not the youngest.

@Extra

I thunk that one boy, Elkepzel, is 13 or something like that.

Myriad Reality

Bliiiiiitz, you didn't respond to Soren on the last post of last paaaaage

*Looks at your eyes*

<Snipped quote by Extra>

How? Or is it magic?

@Etcetera

*her eyes sparkle with their usual innocent, gleeful mirth*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Extra>

How does that work, biologically?

<Snipped quote by whizzball1>

You're hiding something from me.

@Etcetera

-Maddie- I don't hide anything from people! At least, I don't think so! Hmm... Let me get back to you on that! If I figure out that I'm not saying something important, I'll be sure to tell you! Unless it's supposed to be a secret! But even then if it's important to you! *giggles*

<Snipped quote by whizzball1>

Genocide may also refer to a race or culture.

You give me headaches.

@Etcetera

That's what context is for.

-Maddie- The stuff I'm doing right now isn't giving you any flashbacks, is it? Unless it is!

<Snipped quote by whizzball1>

Nono, it's fine. I'm just getting other views. I mean, I am only fifteen.

@Extra

Heh, yeah. I'm just sixteen.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by whizzball1>

Hm...

@Extra

I mean, I don't mean to get you to change your philosophy, but that's just what I think.

<Snipped quote by whizzball1>

It means the genocide of an alien species.

<Snipped quote by Extra>

I don't ask those questions. I just follow orders.

<Snipped quote by whizzball1>

You really irritate me.

@Etcetera

So does genocide, literally. I'd rather use that.

-Maddie- I will go any lengths for the cause of tea!

Myriad Reality

Xenocide isn't a true word, but that really is the adopted meaning, namely in science fiction.

@Etcetera

Yes, I know. Ender's Game had the word. I still like genocide better because it's literally correct.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

Is there a difference between killing and murder? What is the difference if there is?

@Extra

When people say murder, I think it's meant killing someone not out of necessity, but out of a want to kill them. Like, killing an enemy? They're the bad guys, so there's a necessity in that. It's just killing. You don't hate them in particular. But murdering a single person that you just don't like? That's murder.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Extra>

Any more philosophy you have to share?

<Snipped quote by whizzball1>

Give it a rest with the tea already!!

@Etcetera

-Maddie- Have some S then! That's a word for tea I just made up!
