 A.C.Newton (Sons of Ether) - played by Stayka
 Marvin Black (Hollow One) - played by Sven
 Red Queen (Virtual Adept) - played by FiXXXer667

<Marvin_B> There is no use in fighting what can't be fought. No sense in building up what will crumble anyway

<AC_Newton> Marvin: Of course there is a use to that!

<Marvin_B> To watch it fall apart... Sure.

<AC_Newton> We have to build a better world to shed hope, optimism and bring people generwlly to a better living

<Marvin_B> There is no hope... Optimism is denial of what the world is really like... And there is for sure no better living, but for making sure fate will strike you harder next time

<AC_Newton> Marv: Why haven't you killed yourself then?

<FiXXXer667> don't give him ideas.

<AC_Newton> I mean, when you are so sure it will all get worse and die anyway?

<Marvin_B> I rather choose the Devil I know than the Devil I don't know...

<AC_Newton> I prefer to live in an optimistic world, knowing that I can move and better things

<Marvin_B> You prefer to run around with eyes tightly shut

<AC_Newton> No, I just see where there is hope and room for improvement and I just do this

<Red_Queen> voila!

<Marvin_B> You close your eyes for what is real, don't want to see the truth, denying what is there.

Red_Queen looks at herself, than AC, then Marv.

<Marvin_B> Just look at what happened to MC and Marcello after doing so

<Red_Queen> hello?

<AC_Newton> Marv: So? And what about me and Kev?

AC_Newton beams like a little supernova

<Marvin_B> Wait and see, your time will come... Fear it...

<Marvin_B> Oh... Hi Red.

Red_Queen beams like a small Red Star.

<AC_Newton> Marv: Naw. I'm much to happy now to waste time for dark thoughts

<Red_Queen> Hi..

<Red_Queen> Hello Ms Newton..

<Marvin_B> You are to blind to see the truth. To afraid you could find what's deep inside you

<AC_Newton> Hello Ms.Red Queen!

AC_Newton beams at Red Queen

Red_Queen chuckles.

<Red_Queen> just Red

<Marvin_B> Afraid of the fear, afraid of the truth... That's what you are...

<AC_Newton> Marv: Why should I look for bad things when it is all so bright around?

Red_Queen nods

<Marvin_B> For it isn't that bright if you look behind the make-up... If you dare to do so.

<Red_Queen> Marv, do you have lights in your house?

<AC_Newton> Marv: Why *should* I? Of course you can find bad things everywhere, but why should I make my life miserable when I feel happy?

<Red_Queen> electric bulbs and all?

<Marvin_B> I rarely use them. I prefer it dark.

<Red_Queen> why do you use them?

<Red_Queen> they help you do your work.

<Red_Queen> when it's dark.

<Red_Queen> They allow you to see more clearly.

<Marvin_B> AC: I will see you if one of the guys you took to a suicide mission will die... And you are responsible for his Death... You lead them

<Marvin_B> Red: And still the darkness is the natural state of the world... No denying in that. I prefer candles anyway. They aren't that bright.

<AC_Newton> Marv: Which guys? *looks puzzled*

Red_Queen sighs.

<Marvin_B> Whoever you will lead somewhere... Whoever you take somewhere... One day one of those will get killed... And you will be responsible.

<Red_Queen> But the light is an assistance to your life. it may not be "natural", but it helps you. the same thing happens with hope, patience, and many other feelings.

<Red_Queen> She won't be responsible, Marvin.

<AC_Newton> Marv: Well, I wouldn't like that, but one doesn't have to think about this that they could get killed

<Marvin_B> Red: A waste dump won't grow smaller and stink less, just for not looking at it.

<AC_Newton> Otherwise one couldn't do anything

<Red_Queen> Whoever is following her, will do so by his own free will.

<Red_Queen> Thus the responsibility will be all his.

<Red_Queen> But if you let the junk pile up and do nothing, it will only get worse Marv.

<Red_Queen> You can compact it, burn it, do many, many things to change a bad situation.

<Red_Queen> Simply accepting it is giving up without a fight.

<Marvin_B> It seems AC just prefers to not look at it.

<Marvin_B> They followed her... Sometimes not at their own free will.. I know what I am talking about

Red_Queen looks at AC.

Red_Queen shakes her head, finding that somewhat hard to believe.

<Red_Queen> who did?

<Marvin_B> They dragged me along, without asking me. But ignoring me when I was with them

<AC_Newton> Marv: Why should people not follow me of their own free will?

AC_Newton looks puzzled

<Red_Queen> did they?

<Marvin_B> Ummm... Who threatend to get on my nerves and not leave me alone till I log in and come along?

Red_Queen looks even more puzzled by what Marv said.

<Red_Queen> (gee, that's *forcing* someone? lol)

<Marvin_B> (For Marv it is *g*)

<Marvin_B> (Asmos AI visitied Marv at home at threatened to stay till he comes along ^_^)

<Marvin_B> No one asks me. but why should they... It's only me be dragged along.

<AC_Newton> Marv: That's not me! That was Deadalus

<Marvin_B> And who ordered her?

<AC_Newton> I only sort of abducted my sweet Kev ^_^ And he never complained

<AC_Newton> Marv: I can't order Deadalus

Red_Queen chuckles.

<Marvin_B> Who cares anyway? We are all doomed anyway.

<Marvin_B> It's just me... No one would care...

Red_Queen refrains from casting a mind effect at Marv and just gives him a stare.

<Red_Queen> no one, eh? (muttered)

Red_Queen sighs

AC_Newton blushes when she thinks that she really forgot to ask Kev what he thought of being beamed aboard

Red_Queen turns to AC

<Red_Queen> Is Kev that iro.. technocrat in your company?

<AC_Newton> Red: Well, yeah. He was an NWO agent... But I guess he turned somehow freelance now

<Red_Queen> freelance?

Red_Queen raises an eyebrow.

<Red_Queen> wow.

<Red_Queen> I didn't know they could choose that much with their lives.

<AC_Newton> Well, I guess so. He isn't really with the Techies anymore, but he isn't really with us either. Just with me

Marvin_B sighs

<Red_Queen> oh.

<Red_Queen> I.. see.

Red_Queen smiles.

Red_Queen whispers to AC "Lucky girl."

Red_Queen turns her head to Marv.

<AC_Newton> Red: Well, I guess I am

AC_Newton beams happily

Marvin_B sighs thinking the two of them are making fun of him whispering

<AC_Newton> Red: Even though the others mostly don't like him. But he is so sweet!

<AC_Newton> Okie, gotta run now, sorry

Marvin_B sighs again

Red_Queen walks towards him.

<Marvin_B> Hmmm?

<Red_Queen> what was *this* sigh for??

<Red_Queen> just curious..

<Marvin_B> Just for it all will go down the dumps and fall apart.

<Red_Queen> oh.

<Red_Queen> the usual.

Red_Queen hugs Marv, then pats him on the back.

<Red_Queen> Don't worry.

<Red_Queen> It'll be okay.

Marvin_B furrows his eyebrows in confusion

<Marvin_B> Yeah... We wil be dead then

Red_Queen smiles mischievously to him.

<Red_Queen> you know what they say though?

<Marvin_B> Who says what?

<Red_Queen> Red or Dead..

Red_Queen winks

<Marvin_B> Huh?

<Red_Queen> nothing, just word-play ..

<Marvin_B> And what is it about?

<Red_Queen> oh, it used to be about a football team I think..

<Red_Queen> But I found it fitting.

<Marvin_B> Erm... Why?

<Red_Queen> well, it fits with me, right? Red.. or dead..

Red_Queen wishes it somehow fitted with Marv's wishes too.

Red_Queen adds that it'd better be Red he preffered too.

Red_Queen sighs.

<Red_Queen> nevermind about it.

<Marvin_B> Um... Ok... Fits with you...

<Marvin_B> But realiyt can't be changed... It is destined to crumble

Marvin_B sighs

<Marvin_B> Everyone will die sooner or later

<Red_Queen> Life is wasted on the living, eh?

<Red_Queen> (RIP DA!!!!!)

<Marvin_B> Life is pain and as soon we are born we start to die.

<Red_Queen> (*bows down*)

Red_Queen rolled 4d10 dice and got: 10, 4, 3, 3

Red_Queen summons a flower bulb in her hand.

<Red_Queen> true.

<Red_Queen> but look at it..

<Marvin_B> Life is nothing more but the process of dieing.

Marvin_B looks at the bulb

Red_Queen watches her hand as the bulb grows into a beautiful red rose.

Red_Queen gives it to Marv.

<Red_Queen> It will die, eventually

Marvin_B looks at the rose.

<Red_Queen> but you cannot but marvel at the beauty of life.

<Marvin_B> Yeah. So why should one care anyway?

Red_Queen watches as the pedals fall, one by one.

<Red_Queen> why?

<Red_Queen> why not enjoy something beautigul?

<Red_Queen> (beautiful even)

<Marvin_B> No matter what you do... It will die. No matter how much you care.

<Red_Queen> Yes, but that is no reason to sit by and do nothing..

<Red_Queen> You can care enough to see it peak, reach the zenith of it's beauty and growth.

<Marvin_B> Why should you do something that doesn't matter in the end and is in vein?

<Red_Queen> It is not in vain, for you will have spent time doing something pleasant, even if tiring..

<Red_Queen> which brings pleasure to your life, and makes you more complete..

<Marvin_B> And makes you more vulnerable to fate's grasp. That's what it is for.

<Marvin_B> You spent time on something you can't hold on to, just feeling the pain when the work crumbles.

<Red_Queen> Since your life will end, must it do so miserably? isn't it better to end in happiness? To end feeling complete, feeling that tyou did your part to make your life better?

<Red_Queen> Yes, but you know and acknowledge an end.

<Red_Queen> even accept it.

<Red_Queen> but not give up before it..

<Red_Queen> *Live* until you die..

<Marvin_B> Since happyness is an illusion... Who cares? There is no need to do something without sense. It is lost effort.

Red_Queen sighs

<Marvin_B> You could feel my pulse if you were at my place... I live.

<Red_Queen> happiness is a state of mind, Marvin.

<Red_Queen> not an illusion.

<Red_Queen> despair is one too.

<Marvin_B> It's the preperation of fate to hit you hard

<Marvin_B> Happyness

<Marvin_B> I mean

<Red_Queen> having a pulse doesn't mean you're alive, Marvin..

<Red_Queen> unless we're talking technically.

<Marvin_B> I breathe, too

<Red_Queen> which makes you just as soulless as a machine working in binary.

<Red_Queen> yes, but there's more to life than the automated functions of your organs to keep you alive.

<Marvin_B> There is no use in doing somethign that will just end up in pain and disappointment.

<Marvin_B> That has no use and no chance of real succsess

Red_Queen sighs.

<Red_Queen> I have to go. but this discussion is way from over.

<Marvin_B> (Hey. Are you online this evening? We could continue ;) )

<Red_Queen> (later, yes.)

<Marvin_B> (I gotta go now, too ^_^)

<Marvin_B> (So we continue our interlude series later? *g*)

<Red_Queen> (sure ^^)
