[some distance from the main area there's the sound of an explosion, followed by something shattering, and then a Vexen falls through a door. he looks older than most Vexens, especially given the grey streaking his hair. he's got a somewhat torn lab coat on, and that shield Vexens are known for is on the floor next to him.



...he's just going to lie here for a bit and wait for the dizziness to leave.]

I have learned a number of important things. But perhaps it would be best for you to wait until my younger self has learned them as well.

[roxasreplica.livejournal.com]

[oh right. no changing the future.]

Of course. I shouldn't ask.

[glacial-science.livejournal.com]

Curiosity tends to get the better of people.

[meaning he doesn't really care that Roxas keeps asking about future things after saying he didn't want to know.]

[roxasreplica.livejournal.com]

Yeah. I get in trouble all the time for being curious. What's that saying, again? Something with a cat...

[glacial-science.livejournal.com]

Curiosity killed the cat.

[smirks.]

What most people forget is the next part; "but satisfaction brought it back".

[roxasreplica.livejournal.com]

[hello creepy smirk. he recoils just slightly.]

I've never heard that part.

[glacial-science.livejournal.com]

As I said, what most people forget.

[roxasreplica.livejournal.com]

But what does it mean? A dead cat won't come back.

[glacial-science.livejournal.com]

The thought of cats having nine lives is fairly common in a number of worlds. It is simply a superstition, but a well known one in some places.

[roxasreplica.livejournal.com]

I suppose a cat would have many lives in here, but still. People are strange. I don't get that last part.

[glacial-science.livejournal.com]

People are very strange, yes. It is difficult to understand them at times.

for some reason I didn't get that notification until now.

[roxasreplica.livejournal.com]

[that last part of the saying is already messing him up.]

Do you understand that saying? What satisfaction? How could it be satisfied by something that killed it?

Weird.

[glacial-science.livejournal.com]

[taps his chin.]

I imagine that if one did not care if they died, learning of what had made them curious in the first place would be quite satisfying.

uhuh.

[roxasreplica.livejournal.com]

...that makes sense...

[what was that about not overanalyzing things, Roxas? stop it right now.]

But if it's satisfied, why return?

[glacial-science.livejournal.com]

There is no way to enjoy that satisfaction if one is dead.

[roxasreplica.livejournal.com]

You're so smart.

[it's not even a compliment, just a statement.]

[glacial-science.livejournal.com]

[...pff.]

I have spent many years trying to be.

[roxasreplica.livejournal.com]

I've tried to be smart my whole life, but I don't think it has worked yet.

[glacial-science.livejournal.com]

Your whole life has not been very long. It takes time.

[roxasreplica.livejournal.com]

How much time?

[D:]

[glacial-science.livejournal.com]

It depends on the person, usually.

[roxasreplica.livejournal.com]

But if I try my very best and read everything in the library?

[glacial-science.livejournal.com]

Do not rush it. You are an unfortunate case in that usually by the time people are the age you appear, they have had many years to learn already.

[roxasreplica.livejournal.com]

...you mean, if I'm close to knowing as much as other people in here do, I've learned about fifteen times as fast?

[glacial-science.livejournal.com]

...that is not what I said.
