[video] // truth is a rule you can bend

[croibhristeoir]

I admit asking this in the middle of an apparent virus is ill-advised, but I would rather not wait if I can help it.

If you found yourself in what you believed to be a hopeless situation, how would you react?


[So. Totally. Affected.]

Kill everything that caused it.

[...what do you mean, that sounds a lot like Kefka's current plans. Of course it is! Hope is meaningless.]

[croibhristeoir]

Not an option, Kefka.

[sandinmyboots]

I know, I know. You asked what I would do, not what my advice to you is, and this virus seems to be one for truth. You can't just kill your master off. (Although that would be a good thing, I think.)

I think you should ditch him! But you're going to tell me why you can't, right?

[heretocollect]

Find a way out.

[croibhristeoir]

Assume there isn't one. Your choices are death or a fate you might consider worse. What then?

[heretocollect]

Bribe your way out.

[There's a curious flatness and stiffness to the picture.]

Hopeless how?

[croibhristeoir]

As it stands now, the choice is either death or a fate I might consider worse than that.

I think the fitting phrase is something about a rock and a hard place.

[There's a long pause, in which Orlando goes completely still.]

I guess...the question is what can you do with each?

[originaldragoon]

It depends on what kind of hopeless situation, but for me it is to fight through it.

[croibhristeoir]

I do not know if that is an option. If it were, I would have little problem with it.

[originaldragoon]

How so?

[cravats]

I would consider all the options, and if it was truly hopeless, I would attempt to accept it with grace.

[croibhristeoir]

What if there was a way out, but to take it meant saving your own life at the cost of something you think to be unforgivable?

[cravats]

Would it be only your own life or would you be helping others as well?

[thunder_empress]

For me it's just believing that things can change or get better especially when you're armed with knowledge.

[croibhristeoir]

Makoto...I do not think that outlook will be of much help to me. Even knowing all that I do now, this is still an impossible choice that I haven't the strength to make.

[heavenlyhome]

It depends, I think. Most things pass with time. I would try to be patient, and work things out slowly, anything I might do to change it little by little until it could be resolved in the end.

[croibhristeoir]

I would if I had the time, but I worry that is a luxury I am very short on.

[makewayforroze]

Some situations are very hard to get through and it may seem hopeless but there's usually a way out. Even if there isn't, you're rarely alone.

Do you need help?

[croibhristeoir]

Yes.

[Damn virus.]

I'm not in imminent danger, exactly. I just...need advice. I need to know what the right thing to do is.

sending my love on a wire~

[pinkishgray]

Simple, really. Keep going.

[croibhristeoir]

At this point, I am not sure how.

[harlol]

There is always hope even if you're stuck, Mr. Lancer!

[croibhristeoir]

There must be, but I am afraid I can not see it.
