Earth, Darkness, Flame, Light, Water, or Wind.

Pick one, please.

Oh, and there's no moral alignment on any of them, so picking "light" doesn't mean "good," and "darkness" doesn't mean "evil," or "bad."

Darkness, I suppose.

[gallitrap]

Mmm. It's a strong choice.

[xuffasch]

Which are you, then?

[gallitrap]

Light. It's less flexible than darkness, in comparison, but all of them have their strengths.

[xuffasch]

Well, you can say that, but you've obviously chosen the one because you think it best.

[gallitrap]

No, it doesn't quite work that way. There isn't really a 'best,' objectively speaking. There's one that suits me better than the others, because of the way I am. Just like there's one that suits you better than the others, because of the way you are. That doesn't mean they'll be the same thing.

[xuffasch]

Tt. Alright: is someone at their strongest only when they are correctly aligned, then?

[gallitrap]

I don't think I'd say it like that myself, but that's one way to consider it, I suppose.

[xuffasch]

Hmm. What's the significance, then? You must have had a reason for asking.

[gallitrap]

Mostly I was just curious. It's interesting how different people can be, who pick the same answer.

[xuffasch]

Well, obviously. You are attempting to categorize a large populace based on a small number of options. So clearly each option would hold a large variation.

[gallitrap]

Of course. It's still interesting to me, though.

[xuffasch]

That curious about people, kid?

[gallitrap]

Yeah, I suppose I am.

[xuffasch]

You shouldn't be. You'll probably end up disappointed.

[gallitrap]

Oh? Why do you say that?
