[There's an unsure-looking girl on the community today. She's sitting on a stump in the late afternoon sunset.]

So... I kinda have a weird question. I've spent all my life devoted to research. I like it, but... it makes me feel weird when the others talk about the things they do in their free time, and I just read books and come up with magical theory. What do I-

[There's a rustling in the background and Rita's expression is replaced with a glare.] Pardon me. I need to take out some trash! [And there sits a single Polwigle, a large tadpole, hopping toward her; Rita's response is to stand and explode with energy.] Get out of my way! Splash! [A pot filled with water rises from under the Polwigle, knocking it down, before the water falls in a column. Rita, meanwhile, seems to be calling energy for something with a huge grin on her face.] O resplendent mystery! Mystic Drive! [And a huge glyph appears under the thing, seeming to do some real damage before blowing the thing into the horizon. The grin fades after a moment, though, as she realizes she's just proved her point. She draws a large red book out of a nearby bag as she sighs and sits back down, starting to write in the book.]

This... is kinda all I'm good for. Yuri aside, all the others have things they're good at that aren't directly involved in hurting things. I feel like I missed something when I was younger, and I'm not sure what to do about it. I could... [The girl's face runs hot and she averts her gaze from the camera. Pride issues?] ...use some help figuring this out.

You seem to do well with hypothetical questions, community. I have one for you, if I may.

For the purpose of this post, let's say you've suddenly been thrust into a situation in which someone has plans to harm an entire world. You can't hope to convince or overpower this person on your own. You have an ally who has helped you in the past, but they've already lost everything to this kind of struggle and are currently trying to rebuild their life.

It seems as though the sole options you have are either to submit or die, but someone else unexpectedly offers you a third route. One in which both of you would share the results. It would certainly provide you with a way to stop your opponent's plans, but it carries... certain risks. Both to yourself, and potentially to the thing you're trying to protect. While known for holding up their end of a bargain, it wouldn't be wise to entrust the person wishing to deal with you with even half of what they're hoping to share with you. Moreover, buying time to pursue this course would amount to starting a war.

What would you consider the right thing to do in this situation? Would it be best to work with the one who offered you that option in order to keep an eye on them and buy time to search for an alternative way? Or is there another road you would take in this instance?

This is the third time now. No means no, you know. At this rate, I'm going to start feeling bullied. I might even cry.

[ wow who is this dead-eyed kid. if you recognise him, you have either a) seen him on the community before, or b) you remember him from the time when shijima was fighting him and yoite. ]

And you took in someone like Kouichi, too. Is the truth that you really like Kouichi more than you like me?

Damn, this year is goin' by fast huh? Pretty soon I'm going to have to whip out the winter coat when I go outside ... and if it snows! Damn, the occasional walk to the store for cigarettes, cat food, and the occasional can of soup or fritos is really going to blow my life.

However - in all my years here I might have failed to mention that this is pretty much my favorite time of year. It'll be my third year here in a few days...  I guess that's something to be said. Or something.

So anyone possessed again?
