Pop quiz, extra credit, whatever.

If God didn't want to humanity to learn 'bout good and evil and all that shit, why did he put the goddamn tree in the Garden of Eden in the first place?

Deep.

[fuckvampires]

That ain't an answer.

[stormbelow]

I can honestly say that I try not to give too much thought to the Garden of Eden. Speak of the devil, and all that. What makes you ask?

[fuckvampires]

Wouldn't you be a Buddhist anyhow?

[stormbelow]

Shinto, actually, and that was before -- well, everything. I wouldn't call myself especially religious.

[fuckvampires]

...You work for demons.

[stormbelow]

And that would be why.

Temptation.

[fuckvampires]

Show candy to children and they'll eat it too.

[pridegoesbefore]

Isn't that what Adam and Eve were prior to that?

[fuckvampires]

Could you argue they weren't? Lacking knowledge of good and evil don't make them aware adults as far as we understand it today. Could you doom humanity on the actions of a three-year-old?

[pridegoesbefore]

You might as well argue that there wouldn't be aware adults today if they hadn't gained that knowledge; assuming, of course, that they actually existed and aren't merely allegorical figures.

[fuckvampires]

Say it's an allegory. What does it prove besides God's a dick!

If it didn't want you to eat arsenic, then why did the Room put it there?

Just 'cause something's there doesn't mean you have to shove it in your piehole.

[fuckvampires]

A responsible parent wouldn't put arsenic where the baby can get it. You, uh, alright?

[campjesus]

They weren't babies. I'm fine.

[fuckvampires]

Weren't exactly fair, though.

Look, Brody, you can't do that in the future. Okay?

[campjesus]

Nothing's fair.

Do what.

[fuckvampires]

Just fucking vanish like that. Blow me off. Blow off your boyfriend, who was a goddamn wreck last I saw him. It ain't right.

[ Time works oddly in a nexus; he's actually on his way home from his night out (such as it is) when he makes an appearance. ]

It seems as though the answer is in the question.

[fuckvampires]

Hey.

[yes, that's totally casual. he doesn't stand up straighter or anything like that. not at all.]

[zaoshi]

Hello. I thought you might be here -- I wanted to find out how your meeting went, if that's all right.

[fuckvampires]

You two don't gossip behind my back?

[zaoshi]

I assume that you do not share Arashi's opinion on everything.

[fuckvampires]

Arashi possesses an intense need to belong that I don't share.
