Part of the ritual is just to get you here—and it seems like they weren't too picky about their candidates. [ dog.... ] I would lean toward the latter option of events not occurring, or deceit.
[ He was going to continue, but then remembers... ]
Before we dunk on some more insane people, let me make a request! Can I get a battery bank for my cellphone? I don't think any of the places here run electricity so a charger seems like a waste to ask for.
My general answer is wait and see. If you do need to recharge, just come back to us. We can probably charge it for a while at our residence if necessary.
Cult leader who got their followers to collect body parts on their behalf to try to create a better humanity. [ a beat ] Not this cult. Different cult.
It'd be too easy to say a cult who gets a middle schooler killed because they think she'll taint the purity of their god, even though they're aware that one of the consequences of this is the end of the world.
They aren't even sorcerers! They were just everyday insane people!
Why is it still cults. Though I suppose that it would be the average and the weak who are the most likely to turn toward the promise that cults offer them.
They did, but a lot of people still died before then. And plenty of those followers were made into pawns to serve a cause they wouldn't have truly believed in, if they weren't desperate.
[ bad options all around. cults are just bad for everybody? ]
Human as opposed to... curses? Your... friend? [ what are geto and gojo to each other ] He began to tell me about them.
Scary what people in power can do when they have a lot of assets, including people!
[ they are bad for everybody. How convenient! ]
Oh, since he explained to you, I don't need to. I just wanted to clarify since we have people like high elves and tieflings around. Sorcerers aren't entirely different from humans.

[ DECEIT, i see we are adding some paranoia and it does make him tense. He doesn't like that. ]
Man, why are lunatics so powerful? Or somehow have access to a lot of power?
[ Says a lunatic. ]

Something about single-minded madness that leads to a disregard of propriety or life?
no subject
Some people call it genius.
no subject
I would say that it depends on the results that you get out of the risks taken.
Though it probably does require a streak of madness to achieve new feats.

Anything to keep my cellphone alive works for me.

Do I have to come back the next week to get the battery bank recharged? Or...

Is that something you guys can do?
[ Assumes. ]

[ That is their name now. ]
Back to insane people.
no subject
Any insane people in particular? Or is it a philosophical conversation on the human condition? Or non-human, depending.
[ lots of those around here ]
no subject
[ HE HAS HEARD! ENOUGH! ]
Most insane person you've ever met or witnessed! [ Points at them. ] Go!
no subject
[ points back at gojo ]
Same prompt. Go.

[ in the tone of at least be strong and insane ]

[ everything is so cults these days ]
'Sorcerer' is what you are, then?
no subject
[ His other choice was also cult, then the third choice is cult-adjacent. It is very cult in here. ]
Yeah! Still human.

[ that's pretty philosophical. does the moral arc of humanity bend toward destruction? well they asked it anyway. ]
Do you consider yourself separate? Better?
[ slightly related to the power question ]
no subject
I'm doing fine? And I'm the strongest back at home.
[ Somehow, he got one answer for the questions. ]
no subject
If you say so.
[ it doesn't sound that doubtful? like there is a thread of belief there, but there is mostly a disinterest in understanding further. ]
So because you are the strongest and you are fine, it's harder to understand those who are not fine?
no subject
Hey... Where are you drawing this conclusion from?
no subject
[ shrugs ]
It is not necessarily a criticism.
