ethics...club...

[comprises]

Who: the ethics club and whoever wants to crash their party
When: whenever in august!
What: just a mingle post for the disasters
Warnings: uhhh...........well there's a bunch of problematic people here probably, so we'll see how this goes. will update.

The "ethics" club isn't really that well furnished so far. So far, there's only a few things -- things that only Josh is able to access, as well as a dart board, a cheap (and faulty) polygraph machine, and a button maker?

Well, the other members will have to make those. But he does have a certain design for it, if someone was interested in ""helping"" him make the pins...

Otherwise, Joshua's probably usually in here, in classroom 2-D, and he won't turn anyone away. He might warn of anyone coming in of their eccentric group, but he doesn't really mind either way.

But there are papers spread around, not that he really wants to do the work of ensuring that his club stays open, but he figures there's no use in just ignoring it. So there's probably going to be some reports to go through on the papers, or something that could be defined as work.

Loosely.

There's a folder on the desk he'd moved next to the door which holds the topic of the month on it for whoever comes into the room:

good and evil: how do you spot the difference? Do those lines truly exist?

He's very interested in what people would say about it.

[....damn. that was a lot. but Joshua's eager to listen, glad to get an actual real answer out of Add.

he catches the paper ball when it's thrown at his head, considering his own response. this is why he likes to speak about things like this -- he thinks people's opinions are just fascinating. and it tells him about their own universes too, in a way.]

You sound like you're some sort of being who oversees your own timeline. To be able to pick and choose whatever you want to happen -- what kind of life is that, I wonder?

The question isn't really meant to be so black and white, though a lot of people tend to think of it that way. There's a lot more variables than most expect, but it seems as if you've realized it for yourself.

Kukukuku... what kind of life is it, I wonder...?

[it's not really a life at all. merely existing, knowing that all the choices you could make are already laid out on the table, an infinite buffet of options... it'd be enough to give anyone indecision. for him, he's dissatisfied with the branch he's ended up on, so why tend to his choices at all when he'd rather start anew?

it's easier to live in the moment, for now. to experience whatever options catch his interest, to ignore those that don't, erase the ones that can no longer be his...]

... You don't seem that surprised. [most people would be a lot more lost in that explanation, at least. he'd normally rely on something like that to get Elsword or Ara to leave him alone for awhile, but Joshua just took it in stride. hmm.] I wonder... what would your answer be, if you were to give one?

[comprises]

[Joshua shrugs easily. he's not really the type to get too bothered by most things, unless things don't go according to his plans...]

There's no wrong answer to this question, since it's almost purely opinion to begin with. It gives me a better insight on the way people think and where they come from aside from outright asking or engaging in small talk. Small talk is much too boring, for my tastes.

[he raises an eyebrow now.]

After all that, you'd want my opinion on it all? How touching.

I'm only interested since you seem capable of understanding the true shape of the universe. [the timecube if u will] Perspective that can only belong to those beyond the mortal scope... you're not a normal person, are you?

[He doesn't know what Joshua is yet, but he's certainly something. He doesn't need to point out that appearances can be deceiving.]

[comprises]

[Joshua just shrugs. he's not really sure who he should tell what to, but he doesn't think he knows Add well enough to say anything concrete about it.]

Am I? Well, that depends on what your word for "normal" is, isn't it?

[...does he ever answer a question--]

[subtract]

[well, that's to be expected. it's not like Add gave a straight answer himself... and it's not unlike another he used to know. someone he considered a friend, of sorts, even after he chose to leave linear time behind...]

... What defines "normal"? I guess it's no different from "good" or "evil", isn't it? Kekekeke...

Perhaps this so-called club won't be as boring as I thought.
