[No, it's really not that important. He's just panicking and completely misreading a situation. Whoops.]

Sounds more simple than it feels, doesn't it?

[redshitlord]

Yeah. Like. A hundred billion times more.

[warandpeace]

I'm almost middle aged by human standards and certain people still make me feel that way.

I'm sure you'll do fine.

[redshitlord]

Middle aged? So... like... what? A thousand?

[warandpeace]

Our lives are a little shorter than that.

I'm thirty-eight.

[Luckily he still looks a little younger. He's vain enough to worry about his appearance. It makes it sort of funny, though, talking to someone that has no concept of human age.]

[redshitlord]

Whoa, seriously?

That's like... younger than me.

[warandpeace]

We only get seventy to eighty some years if we're lucky.

Short lifespans.

[redshitlord]

... wait so.

You're like, almost halfway dead?

[warandpeace]

[And then there's that realization he actually only has twenty more years. Nothing like being reminded you get assassinated in your home and left for days.]

...Something like that.

[redshitlord]

Dude... That's... awful.

I'm sorry.

[warandpeace]

As long as I keep my remaining arm and leg until the end, I'll be fine.

But point stands. I don't think it ever feels easy.

[redshitlord]

... your what?

You sure? Because that kinda sucks if it's true.

[warandpeace]

People wouldn't bother with anyone else if there was no payout. So hard or not, it's gotta be worth something.

My arm and leg. I'm a double amputee. Had to get prosthetics on the ship.

[redshitlord]

Worth something... yeah. Yeah, dude, I get you.

Whoa. Like... Anakin?

[warandpeace]

One arm just below the shoulder. One leg below the knee. Wasn't a pretty scene.

Seems to have happened to a lot of people here.

[He's sort of glad he's not alone. At least it shamed him into prosthetics.]

[redshitlord]

... Eugh.

And. You guys don't just. Pop stuff back on, right?

[warandpeace]

No.

But considering you have a hot date ahead, I'll spare you the gruesome details. [Normally he wouldn't, as he hates the Skulls, and wants everyone else to, too.]

I'd rather you go into it with a sense of confidence.

[redshitlord]

Um!

I don't. Know if it's hot!

[warandpeace]

I'm just teasing you. [These big Metal Gear-ish people are really oddly cute. Despite him needing to immediately fend off a midlife crisis.]

Go have a good time.

[redshitlord]

Oh, okay, good. Awesome.

Whew.

Y-yeah you too dude. With. Stuff.
