ARADIA: i dont necessarily share their point of view on the meaning of this endeavor though ARADIA: they consider this to be a great clash between good and evil ARADIA: but i prefer to look at the coming battle as a matter of housekeeping ARADIA: in the end all loops must be tidied up ARADIA: even his JOHN: ok, but what about your friends! JOHN: don't you care about them? ARADIA: of course i do! ARADIA: i love all my friends JOHN: then why do you seem so... JOHN: cheerful? JOHN: when so many of them are getting zapped by lasers. ARADIA: do i seem cheerful about that JOHN: kinda! ARADIA: i apologize if that is the way i am behaving ARADIA: it is not true though ARADIA: i think i look at death differently than most ARADIA: and it is fair to say this attitude extends to death after death as well ARADIA: i have learned to be at ease with the cessation of being in any form it takes ARADIA: but i am not nor will i ever be the monsters handmaid ARADIA: so please believe that i would never take joy from the destruction of any soul ARADIA: however you must realize that it is only by the grace of the horrorterrors that so many have been allowed to continue existing for so long ARADIA: they have persisted for ages beyond their time just as he has ARADIA: as such it seems to me his rampage is just another kind of housekeeping ARADIA: while he rounds the ring undoing the work of the gods we must prepare for his undoing as well ARADIA: to ready the manor for the lords arrival so to speak :) JOHN: ...

ARADIA: i dont like to think of myself in those terms ARADIA: but i do try to be nice to people! JOHN: dammit. JOHN: ok, could you just... maybe... JOHN: give me an idea of what it is you actually want out of all this? ARADIA: what i want? ARADIA: hmmm ARADIA: thats a pretty good question
