 [02:09] AT: ∴ I feel I have bad luck when I pursue topics that pertain to the subject of dance; ∴

 [02:10] AT: ∴ This is to be noted, dancers are want to pretend to be angels, and convince their friends to be in on said ruse. ∴

 [02:10] TA: I feel I am missing some vital context. Care to elaborate?

 [02:11] AT: ∴ I met a fellow musician who mentioned he had met a dancer; ∴

 [02:12] AT: ∴ I inquired onto who this dancer may be, and if they knew anything about burlesque, or Seriad particularly, and I was met with nothing but resistance and ridicule. ∴

 [02:13] AT: ∴ I understand the subject and my interest in it being suspect, but to ridicule my pursuit of truth and question my intelligence? ∴

 [02:13] AT: ∴ It was disheartening. ∴

 [02:14] TA: I ridicule your quest for truth on a daily basis. But I understand your irritation.

 [02:14] TA: To have your intelligence called into question is never pleasent.

 [02:14] AT: ∴ This is true, but I respect you and your respect for the fact that we are in search for answers through different means; ∴

 [02:15] AT: ∴ Also, you don't lie to me. ∴

 [02:15] TA: I assume this dancer did?

 [02:16] AT: ∴ Well, to continue a charrade of fake angels and to do a double troll combo? ∴

 [02:16] AT: ∴ Was not something I was prepaired for. ∴

 [02:17] TA: Fake angels are the only sort there is. This dancer did not convince you do do anything foolish, did they?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;"> [02:18] TA: Reveal your passwords, or anything of that nature.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;"> [02:19] TA: Which is just another sign of how ridculously trusting you are. Honestly, to reveal your name to a perfect stranger!

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;"> [02:19] AT: ∴ I figured we had enough of a rapport at that point. ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;"> [02:20] TA: For such a smart being you sometimes act as though you are a wriggler.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;"> [02:20] TA: Well, what is done is done. You did not reveal your adress, I hope?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;"> [02:20] AT: ∴ A little credit would be appreciated; ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;"> [02:21] AT: ∴ Could be a blood gargling high blood maniac for all I know. ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;"> [02:22] TA: Most likely a grown male troll with a fetish for baiting foolish philosophers.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;"> [02:23] TA: I doubt you are in actual danger, however.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;"> [02:23] TA: Still, if anything should happen, contact me. I may have connections that could help.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;"> [02:23] AT: ∴ I do appreciate, and continue to appreciate your friendship. ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;"> [02:24] TA: But the feeling is mutual.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;"> [02:24] AT: ∴ hmph, I know existance hasn't been the easiest for either of us, but our brilliance makes us better; ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;"> [02:25] AT: ∴ We will both be the catalysts for something very important, I can feel it. ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;"> [02:26] TA: Always with the "feelings." But yes, our intelligence may see us go far.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;"> [02:27] TA: How far has yet to be determined.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;"> [02:29] AT: ∴ Indeed; though to your scepticism towards my hunches, sometimes a Logician must follow his heart, if only to know it's truth as well as his own. ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;"> [02:29] AT: ∴ hmmm... perhaps I should work on that saying. ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;"> [02:30] TA: That would be one way of wasting your time, I suppose.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;"> [02:32] AT: ∴ Your candor is noted, yet your cold science focused mind deters me not. ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;"> [02:33] TA: Has it ever? The gooey mind of the philosopher always reforms into its original shape eventually.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;"> [02:33] TA: No permanent impression can ever be made.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;"> [02:34] AT: ∴ I prefer to thinking of it as "forever being improved upon" ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;"> [02:34] AT: ∴ and absorbant of the best ideas. ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;"> [02:35] TA: Yet you never seem to absorb any of mine. A pity.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;"> [02:36] TA: You might be an excellent scientist, could you free yourself from the search for truth.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;"> [02:36] AT: ∴ There is no satisfaction in the pursuit of explaining things, only more things. ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;"> [02:37] AT: ∴ if only to know what the restless mind need to turn to. ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;"> [02:39] TA: At the risk of gaining no satisfaction, I would not mind knowing why you were pursuing knowledge of burlesque, if you would not mind sharing.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;"> [02:39] AT: ∴ Well, honestly, I enjoy it; ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;"> [02:40] AT: ∴ but more to the point, I have a that unrelenting sense of a connection with Seriad Rytoil ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;"> [02:41] AT: ∴ Call it hero worship or young lust, but my mind goes to that line of thought when dancers are mentioned. ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;"> [02:42] TA: Though you cannot hear me, I have just sighed. Connection? Were you, foolish philosopher, once soulmates with Seriad Rytoil in former life? Is that what you are suggesting?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;"> [02:43] AT: ∴ Not in the least; Do not assert that our magic souls are intwinded by fake ass fate strings; ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;"> [02:44] AT: ∴ I look at her face, her horns, her eyes and I can't help but sense it: ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;"> [02:45] AT: ∴ It burns my already boiling blood, which is why there must be some scrap of truth out there as to why I feel this way. ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;"> [02:47] TA: I have just sighed again. You know, you could simply say that you want want to share a bucket with her, without bringing all of this mystical nonsense into it. I would not think less of you.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;"> [02:48] AT: ∴ There <span style="color:rgb(157,0,0);">certainly is that  <span style="color:rgb(157,0,0);">but...part of me feels I cannot even approach those types of carnal relations. ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;"> [02:49] AT: ∴ Somehow it would ruin the mystic, which also makes no sense. ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;"> [02:49] TA: That it does not.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;"> [02:50] AT: ∴ Perhaps it's nothing more than lust coupled with the lack of maternal affection from anything that wasn't a teacher calling me a "mutant" ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;"> [02:50] AT: ∴ or matriarchs in "magic girl anime", ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;"> [02:52] TA: I'd accuse you of harboring an Oedipus complex, were psychology a proper science.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;"> [02:52] AT: ∴ Had I any trace of a mother, perhaps; ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;"> [02:53] AT: ∴ Though whenever the questions is broached, I am greeted with "would you like to see a magic trick, son?" ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;"> [02:53] TA: Hmm. Then again, perhaps under such circumstance, a desire to mate with one's mother would not be required to want to murder your father figure.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;"> [02:54] AT: ∴ There certainly have been days... However it would only cement his legend as a Mage who died for his Fake Art. ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;"> [02:55] TA: Best not to give him the satisfaction then.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;"> [02:55] AT: ∴ Indeed, he will fade away, just as all the charlatans of history. ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;"> [02:56] TA: One can only hope. I doubt my father will fade away quite so easily.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;"> [02:57] AT: ∴ Ah yes... Well, some men are villians in their own time; ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;"> [02:57] AT: ∴ and time proves them to be heroes, in different contexts. ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;"> [02:59] TA: Perhaps. Which only goes to show what a shallow discipline history truly is.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;"> [03:00] AT: ∴ I suppose, though in all contexts, we are someone's hero/villain ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;"> [03:01] TA: More villain than hero, in my case at least. And, I expect, in yours.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;"> [03:01] TA: Brillance does not tend to be a trait assigned to heroes.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;"> [03:02] AT: ∴ well, my old man certainly is the adversary of logic and reason; ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;"> [03:02] AT: ∴ I can not speak for your father and what he fails on. ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;"> [03:03] TA: Much of the time, neither can I.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;"> [03:04] TA: Truth be told, we rarely speak these day. It is easier that way.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;"> [03:04] AT: ∴ hmmm, sounds like something you still regret all the same. ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;"> [03:06] TA: Psychoanalysis may be a step up from philosophy, but it is a very small step. Please do not try and apply it to me.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;"> [03:08] AT: ∴ noted, still, it is good to talk about things, ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;"> [03:08] AT: ∴ even if you're being vague as is your want. ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;"> [03:09] TA: Perhaps. I appreciate the intent, at least.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;"> [03:09] TA: Now, please give me this "angel's" handle.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;"> [03:10] TA: If not I, then who?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;"> [03:11] TA: Someone must look after you, foolish thing that you are.
