Life -

precious or wasted?

Discuss, citizens.

Ah~ Ichigo~ heel, boy. I require a word.

Wasted. Carelessly.

Something awful is happening here.

[exsiliumacer]

Or something wonderful with a high cost. But are we to judge?

[frieswiththat]

Wonderful...?

[exsiliumacer]

All great catalysts of civilization have come at nightmarish costs. It is up to us to judge if the ends justify the means. Don't you think?

Prec-why am I playing this bullshit game.

... only if engaged. Our primary concern is finding a way out.

[exsiliumacer]

And are you capable of discerning the difference between Arrancar and other entities if engaged?

[shoohay]

Hasn't been tested yet.

The Arrancar have been inactive as of late.

Pray such status continues.

[oderschvank]

Precious, but often wasted.

[exsiliumacer]

Pedantic. Can warriors be bleeding hearts?

[oderschvank]

Perhaps it is, but yes ... Of course they can.

[exsiliumacer]

Literally, perhaps.

It's unlike you to forego courtesies, Urahara.

My doing? That would be entirely too convenient for this place, I'm afraid. However, given my experiences here, I daresay I could make some safe assumptions.

If I'm correct, I've very little shame in admitting that I'm no more pleased than you.

Private.

[exsiliumacer]

I'm not feeling myself, today. Or perhaps I'm feeling more myself than usual. You'd have to tell me.

I've plans.

Private.

[absterged]

Then we shall consider ourselves mutually out of sorts. As you can imagine, I'm not inclined to return to a time when I was inconvenienced by the actions of others. Its novelty is long worn thin.

You'd best tell me. I would be loathe to have our plans conflict at a critical moment. I'm sure you feel the same.

Private.

[exsiliumacer]

We should begin with your safe assumption. It may save some time.

Straight through the head. Someone's made a good guess, about what she is. If they're so curious I thought perhaps they'd like a more personal lesson.

[acosmistic]

I think it's more misunderstood than anything.

[exsiliumacer]

How so?

[acosmistic]

Well, you can't hold something at value if you don't understand it. And, something is only considered wasted if it has value, right?

I guess I just don't think most people know what "life" really means to properly discuss your question. ...I know I sure don't.

[exsiliumacer]

Understanding is a very complex notion. People can value something without understanding it, yes, in many ways. One way is accepting said understanding but caring despite it. Another is simply being incorrect.

Don't you? Ah. I imagine that's true, for most.
