If you're only interested in useful posts, you can skip the rest of this. I'm only out to waste the time of those who want it wasted, today.
For anyone else, color me curious.

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

Pick one, please.

To clarify, "light" doesn't mean good and "darkness" doesn't mean evil, or bad. Or vice versa; there's no moral alignment to any of them.
And I didn't "skip heart", so don't bother bringing that up.

As if that's surprising.

You can put out a light, extinguish a flame, so on and so forth, but it's not so easily done with darkness. People don't understand it, so they're wary of it.

[heartsink]

Right. But many good things come from it, too, and it can be a comfort.

[onehundredswords]

Course. It's something to aspire to be like, if you ask me.

[heartsink]

Is it an aspiration of yours?

[onehundredswords]

Back when I was a kid, sure.

[Something he'd achieved, if he did say so himself.]

[heartsink]

Not anymore? Because of success, or surrender?

[onehundredswords]

Clever!

I'll tell you since you thought to ask: success.

[heartsink]

If people let go of aspirations, there's always a reason for it. But you didn't specify.

In any case, congratulations, for achieving it. If you think it's worthy of that, anyway.

The fact you thought it through is what counts; not a lot of people do. It's like they hate thinking.

What's your name?

[heartsink]

No... I wouldn't say hatred. That means there's an investment there, even if it's negative.

Haruka Takahashi. But, just Haruka is fine.

Haha okay, okay, point. I suppose that's too much credit to give them, then.

Name's Gin.
