You find yourself alone in this barren world with only your team and your cosmic powers. Do you use them responsibly? You're a god now, so think it over. You have all the time in the world.
If you keep hitting me one of these days there's going to be nothing left to hit. [Teasing. He steals another glance at his hands before looking around.] Just this once I'll forgo the usual charades. This is a little too weird even for me.
It should be a world that can exist without a world tree. I know that's a reality for your world. It's not impossible.
I think that's one of the later parts. But don't worry we'll work it in. So a world abundant in resources with all the necessary habitats to support life. That's capable of existing without a world tree robot. Are we agreed?
... Let's let magic be a thing, too. My world doesn't have squat for magic, from what I remember. I feel like I seriously missed out, seeing what everyone in this place can do.
[.......lmfao. He had to eat a rock for his magic. It was not fun times. To his credit though he doesn't so much as blink.]
Sure. I'm not really sure how that works without a world tree, but let's leave the echo to figure it out. I guess all that's left is sharing love for a place. ...What a weird echo. Do you want to do the honors or should I?
Yeah. We'll just make sure to point out it's magic without a cost or something, right? Don't know what kind of echo this is, after all.
[He blinks at that, though.]
... I really don't mean any offense, but I'm not sure you'd be able to make it as 'heartfelt' as it needs to be. I mean, I don't doubt there's probably a place you feel that way about, just... Y'know.
[Wat. STARING. He may be unnecessarily insulted, yes.]
This is the kind of stuff that happens... I've only got myself to blame-- Hey, hey. Hold on there. I know I don't make a big deal out of it, and I'm far from a stirring example, but I am a Chosen of Mana. If you think I don't love Tethe'alla you haven't been paying attention hard enough.
I take my Chosen duties very seriously. There's nothing wrong about a Chosen admitting that.
Hey, I never said you don't love a place that much. In fact, I'm pretty sure you do.
It's just... Well, you'd have to be admitting something big like that to me. Can you do that, and make it as heartfelt as you can? As honest as you can?
...I'd have taken the pilgrimage if Tethe'alla had gone into decline. Chosens exist for one reason: to be a sacrifice if the world ever begins to die. That's what everyone was told. It was a lie, and I knew it was a lie, but I'd have done it anyway to save Tethe'alla. Even knowing it'd just end in my pointless death wouldn't have stopped me.
From what I remember, I didn't care about that field you saw me in. And the place I lived in was way too stressful to stick around in, thanks to those damn collectors.
... The dorm's got a lot of feeling put into it. And being there is actually relaxing for me. It feels safe, too. I could take a nap in the middle of the floor if I wanted to, with how safe it is.
I hate using this word, but... I love our dorm. I'm glad it's the one I get to live in.

Re: DISCUSSION
I'd punch you, but I don't think I wanna risk it until I'm feeling normal again.
[He's thinking hard about it, though...]
... It's got to be a world filled with resources, at least.

Re: DISCUSSION
We'll leave'em off for sure, then. It'll be a world that exists of its own accord.
Re: DISCUSSION
[Haha...hah. Sigh. He puts a hand on his hip]
Outside of that... I suppose it should be habitable with resources like you said. It might as well have all the biomes while we're at it.
Re: DISCUSSION
... I'm allowed to say soccer exists in this world, right?
Or is that a given, since I'm here in the first place?

That's how much I love Tethe'alla.

So I guess it's a good thing we ended up taking a third option. You might never have seen this gorgeous mug of mine ♪.

At the end though, he just snorts in amusement.]
Well, I guess that was better than anything I could've told you.
I was just going to talk about how much I like our dorm.
You love that place so much, you'd die a pointless death for it... That's a lot of love.
