Sounds like "investing" should be in quotes then

If it's not outright acquisitions it's favors with strings attached? The word "desperate" doesn't paint a great picture

[ Noctis, foolish and lacking in common sense, and yet strangely well-educated in business. ]

[zauneyete]

Oh no, how terrible of me, to assist the desperate and needy.

After all, if I were not able to, what would happen? Some second-rate loan shark might come in and offer them funds instead. Where would they be then?

[ As if A) He doesn't do that? and B) he's altruistic? ]

[fessus]

So what are you

The first rate loan shark? You're the one dressing up what you're doing instead of saying it outright, if it were clean and 100% legit why bother

[zauneyete]

I'm just the man who keeps the books. Nothing more.

I think you would need to look to my organization to find that deeper dark purpose. I'm only doing my job.

[ And slowly extorting them out of funds for his own criminal dealings. ]

[fessus]

You did this last time we talked too

Acted shady while hinting at smth illegal and then switched to acting like you're not in the know/aren't some big player

Your vibes are off

[zauneyete]

So what if they are? What are you going to do about it?

[fessus]

Wow you just accepted it......

Ig I just don't get the point of trying to be subtle about it [ Here, for a moment, he pauses. ]

Do you think you're a good guy?

[zauneyete]

I don't think I am. Nor do I think I am bad.

I'm merely the product of where I am from.

[ In short: A monster. ]

We Zaunites are simply different compared to the rest of you.

[fessus]

Somehow I thought you were gonna say smth different

Who's "you"? When you say different compared to the rest of "you"

[zauneyete]

Did you think I would start cackling about how only by being bad can one be good?

[ It was close. ]

Most of the rest of you Outsiders. You know, I've only met a few other people who understand what it is to act with a goal in mind, without worrying about good or evil.

[fessus]

It wouldn't have really shocked me? idk that seems like smth you'd do too

[ I'm sorry, man....... ]

Ig that'd make your life a lot easier and simpler at least huh

[zauneyete]

I don't cackle.

[ That's

That's what he has. ]

If everyone thought like me it would make things simpler, yes. More efficient as well.

1/2

[fessus]

Wow........

[ JUST LETS THIS SIT FOR A MOMENT ]

2/2

[fessus]

So you think more people should believe in anarchy? Or what

The ends justify the means?

[zauneyete]

There we are. You finally got there.

A goal is only as good as how much one is willing to take for it.

[fessus]

Are you strong enough for that? If everyone woke up tomorrow thinking like you

[zauneyete]

I'm strong enough for anything.

[fessus]

You're a fighter?

[zauneyete]

There are more strengths than merely physical, Samuel. I believe in a different sort of power.

[fessus]

I get that

I've got a guy on my team who's one of the smartest guys I've ever met, and he can still hold his own against daemons AND infantry

So again

You sure you want everyone to think like you?

[zauneyete]

Hm.

Well, if there were fewer suckers, I would be less successful, wouldn't I? Good point, kid.

[fessus]

Not the point I was making but you seriously hear what you want to. And we've been over this Silco, if it's a memory loss thing re: my name I got some gingko pills in another lucky bag that I don't need? Just lmk

I can drop them off later if you tell me your room number

[zauneyete]

Have you ever heard of a diminutive?

[fessus]

You mean another word for you calling me smth I told you not to call me? Yeah

[zauneyete]

Well, I got sick of calling you Samuel, so kid it was.

Better than boy.

You aren't getting my room number, by the way.
