[TEXT] UN: STOPMESSAGES

A number of things.

First, I want to know how many people are familiar with ninja and the shinobi world.

Second, I’m interested in increasing my knowledge when it comes to the technology on the ship.

Third, in connection with the second point, is there a way to stop others from being able to send messages to your communicator? Stopping all of them temporarily would also be acceptable.

[ That's it, Sasuke's first message, no name attached and no hint of an introduction in sight. Still, it's downright personable for him. ]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

I'm realizing that through talking to others too. [ Excruciatingly... ]

In that case, ninja exist as entertainment rather than for utility.

Basically, there just isn't a place for ninja in the modern world. They started falling out of use after westernization I believe. Not that there aren't still assassins and other such people though.

I have a better understanding of it now. So they became irrelevant.

[ ... ]

Who are you, anyway?

Yes.

My name is Komaeda Nagito. And you?

[ Don't look so chipper about confirming the death of his way of life in another world, how could you do this. ]

Uchiha Sasuke. What's your purpose?

[He was chipper about a lot of things. But at least on the bright side people think ninja are cool?]

My purpose? That's sort of a funny question. In one way I don't have one at all. But I guess if you wanted to think of me by a trait I'm really lucky?

[ ... lucky. ]

I don't. I don't want to think of you by a trait. I asked what I meant to ask.

That's a rather hard to answer philosophical question though.

What is anyone's purpose? Is it the purpose they come to understand in themselves? Or the purpose others assign to them? Would trash have a purpose? I don't really have one anymore.

Assuming that you believe you're "trash", I guess not.

I'm asking any number of things. What you do with the majority of your time, how you make your living, what your life's ambition is. How you chose to interpret it would only tell me more about you too.

Why assume? it's a simple fact. But if you want an interview....

I used to read a lot, but it's a bit hard right now suddenly ending up in a place like this. My only ambition is to see a beautiful Hope born! Considering the rather sad and despairing situation this ship is in, I'm sure a strong Hope will be born after!

In fact, I hadn't thought of that yet.... Maybe it is lucky to be here after all!

That's a dramatically-worded weird goal. [ Zero punches pulled. ]

It should be easy to find books on Bajikan if that's your focus.

It's not the same.

[And really he had more on his mind than that. Though, perhaps he could look into it. Not that he had much of anything to spend with yet.]

But, I still have yet to really explore the planet much. It's a lot to do, all at once. I haven't been here very long.

It seems like it'll be a temporary stay. You'll need to hurry.

Why are you so interested in hope?

We'll probably have to stay as long as it takes to make the proper repairs.

[What an odd question.]

Because Hope is the most important thing in the world.

I want to hear your argument for why. That's interesting to me.

[ And that in itself is a rarity, with him. ]

Because Hope will always win in the end, no matter what happens or is going on.

Hope is a power that is undefeatable. Hope can be lost, but even then it will grow from the barren earth scorched by despair. In fact! When one thinks they have lost hope is when hope becomes that much more powerful. When all is lost, it only takes a small spark, a small peice to cling to, and from that peice hope will grow. Hope is what makes people thrive, hope is what drives them forward.

Hope is the master of innovation, Hope is essence that carries you through the hardest circumstances. Hope is the beacon of all that is good and right and just!

I see.

Hope itself to me is a means to an end. Maybe it's an inspirational force, but what it inspires a person to do is dependent on them. It can be used to do damage as well. Do you factor that into your philosophy on it?

What people do with their hope is their choice, as long as they nurture a great hope is all that matters.

[They can kill each other for the sake of their hope for all he cared, as long as the hope that won in the end was a strong and true Hope.]

So to you the end result is immaterial.

How did you come by that belief system?

The end result is important, but the steps to get there depend ultimately on the end.

[It had a sliding scale.]

How?

Who knows?

[He wasn't going to share that. He probably didn't really know himself.]

It's important but you'll justify a violent or deadly result as long as hope is involved?

You should think hard about it.

As long as hope is achieved. If it leads something despairing it was never hope to begin with.

However, great despair can birth great hope....

Is that your goal? Creating great despair?

[ He's just assuming the worst right away based on his own experiences. ]

No matter what that is a line going too far!

[It seemed that struck a nerve.]

If it's unthinkable then you can easily dismiss it, right?
