Oh my! But really, you have to take into account that, after all, everyone is at heart basically good! All this selfishness and sinning that you're talking about are just the result of a lack of love, and possibly not being hugged enough as a child!

So if this whole...island thing...is really being caused by this, surely we just need to show more love to everyone else? I think this is a splendid idea! Here -- I'll start!

I love you!

gwiufgwe oh god Giselle. ILU.

[justundertall]

Of course, miss. But unfortunately most of that goodness has long been covered up by the darkness in people's hearts. Its almost impossible to find that light, sadly enough.

Who knows? Perhaps it may work.

...I'll be sure to pass on the sentimentality to someone else.

Giselle loves you too! LOVES YOU TIMES A BILLION MILLION JILLION.

[happylittlesong]

Of course it will work! When times are darkest and hopes are lowest, only love can bring the light and wonder back into a heart! All anyone really wants, way deep down, is to find true love! That's why, of course, true love's kiss is the most powerful force in the world! I'm absolutely certain that it's more than powerful enough to keep us all afloat!

But we'll have to do it on a very large scale, to make sure that everyone understands! We can't leave a single heart untouched! We shall have to make banners -- organize parades! -- write ballads! -- oh dear, we shall have to get started on this right away!

...Garfield isn't so sure how to respond with that. |D;

[justundertall]

Of course, of course. We really have to spread the love, after all. Love's what makes the world go round after all, as they say~

[notabomber]

...hn.

It's true, that society as a whole is obsessed with material things and is, as you say, intrinsically selfish. We would all benefit better from some show of restraint, a condemnation of things decedent and immoral... but I highly doubt these things are causing islands to fall from the sky.

And praying certainly won't help.

[justundertall]

Well, you many never know. There is such thing as the law of, er, Karma.

[notabomber]

It's possible. Still, I feel the real answer will be something far less... ephemeral.

[justundertall]

Who knows? Only time will tell.

[spannertime]

Um... I think there are some flaws in that argument.

[justundertall]

There are flaws just about everywhere, really.

[spannertime]

Well, yes. But... it's sort of contradictory to say we're all inherently bad... and then say we're being punished for it. I really don't think the gods meant for it to work that way.

[justundertall]

Nobody can really say how the gods work after all. Yet another flaw in the system.

[-Seems very hesitant to speak-]

...um...well.

That was certainly an interesting read.

[justundertall]

I'm glad you enjoyed it.

You stupid, fucking moron! What the hell do you tink you're doing, huh!? Going on about the world ending, and stupid shit like being punished?

Well, screw that!

I don't give a damn if islands are falling or if the goddamn dead are rising from the goddamn grave! You don't just roll over and start praying to die quickly, shitty moron! You fight it!

Idiots like you who fall to their knees at the first sign of danger need to die and spare us the drama! Then again, I'm sure you're used to being on your knees, EH?

If I ever find out who you are, I'm going to track you down and slice your head clean off your shoulders!

And don't go saying crap like this to scare people! Asshole!

[justundertall]

But you just threatened to kill me, fine sir. How does that help in making the world a better place?

[who_said_bald]

Who said anything about making the world a better place?

I just want your worthless ass dead. That'll make it better for me, anyway.

[justundertall]

I'll be sure to never meet you then.
