[If you're watching this video, you'll see a white haired guy with a big goofy grin on his face, lounging on the couch in his suite, a mug of beer in hand.]

Okay, so let me get this straight. We were all brought here from wherever we all come from, which we don't remember, in order to help this lame city that can't keep itself populated. We're given a job just like that and all we have to do is fight monsters or whatever, and doing so will help us find gems that give us our memories back? This is so dumb, but whatever! At least there are fun things to do in the city, and I, the Awesome Gilbert, am good at fighting!

Also I have this whole apartment suite to myself! Sweet! Sucks to be you, losers who have to share!!! Kesesesese!!!!!!

I can feel it, obviously! All it takes it one look in the mirror and I know I'm a tough guy!!!

[seeker-of-law.livejournal.com]

The traits that breed toughness are discipline and diligence. You boast like a drunkard and a braggart.

[ichbin-cool.livejournal.com]

Hmph. I'm tough, I can feel it.

[That smug grin on his face is rather obnoxious, yes?]

[seeker-of-law.livejournal.com]

You are certain the feeling is not of alcohol solidifying in your bloodstream?

[ichbin-cool.livejournal.com]

I'm only on my second beer, man. Come on, this is nothing.

[seeker-of-law.livejournal.com]

Ah. Then perhaps it is the feeling of gross overcompensation.

[ichbin-cool.livejournal.com]

...Jealousy is pretty unawesome, you know.

[seeker-of-law.livejournal.com]

As is shamelessness.

[ichbin-cool.livejournal.com]

There's a difference between shamelessness and pride. I've got nothing to be ashamed of, after all.

[seeker-of-law.livejournal.com]

...Have you never heard that pride is the root of all sin?

[ichbin-cool.livejournal.com]

The fear of sin is overrated.

[seeker-of-law.livejournal.com]

Overrated?

[ichbin-cool.livejournal.com]

If you spend your whole life worrying about what is or isn't a sin, you won't enjoy anything.

[seeker-of-law.livejournal.com]

That is not the point.

To strive to avoid sin and to reach for that which is noble and true... In such a way is a life become worthwhile.

[ichbin-cool.livejournal.com]

Pfffff. Life is worthwhile if you enjoy it, and meaningless if you don't.

[seeker-of-law.livejournal.com]

...Through the pursuit of righteousness is life enjoyable. That was the intended point.

[ichbin-cool.livejournal.com]

Sounds pretty dull to me.

[seeker-of-law.livejournal.com]

You will forgive me if I take your opinion with a grain of salt.

[ichbin-cool.livejournal.com]

Back at you.
