"Has the new kid been told if he dies in AoF he's dead?"

"Nim did watch the avatar selection but didn't give him the altered intro. So far, he's just like a normal player going through the selection and build stage."

"Didn't Nim say the kid was certainly going to be hardwired? I don't think I understand."

"Ours isn't to reason why."

"Don't give me that poem bullshit. You said you thought this kid could be the one, and then you went on and on about how important getting the right start was, wouldn't you want to know it was life or death if you were making a build for Age of Fantasy. You think that might shape the style of play you chose?"

"That might be why Nim didn't this time. Who the hell knows why that thing does what it does. What we do know is it's the closest thing to God we've ever seen and it's never been wrong, so what the hell is the problem?"

"Who pissed in your Kool-Aid?"

"You did. You pissed in it and I'm about to throw it in your face. How's that?"

"Don't have to be so sensitive."
