Attention, people of the wondrous tome!

I have been following your conversations for a few days now and I am most entertained and at the same time most confused. Just what are all of you? Am I truly speaking to mortals of far-away lands?

I do not wish to bother you only for trivialities, however. Relay to me your most entertaining story. Where I am, it is always so boring and I am so... [ yaaaawn ] sleepy...

Surely we can all agree to just not respond to things if we have no interest in saying something nice! Or neutral, at least!

Define "we."

We, pronoun (1) used by a speaker to refer to themself and one or more other people considered together; used to refer to the speaker together with other people regarded in the same category; people in general.

With the category being 'those of us connected to Deatth Chat.'

Then no, we can't.

Why's that, then, detective?

Because niceness has no inherent value. I gave the newcomer useful advice. Sharing stories is nice, but useless.

u must b fun at parties :/

Parties are tedious. One of the best things about my career is that I never get invited to any.

why r u bragging abt not having any friends :/

Why would anyone brag about having them? Either you need other people's validation, which is nothing to be proud of, or you don't but spend your time catering to other people's emotions, which is stupid. I don't have that need, and I prefer to spend my time doing things that interest me.

[Duh.]

embarrassing 4 u :/

You clearly have never had friends.

Yes, I just said that.

I was just informing you that the weakness is clearly shown by your behaviour.

[ L really is just a representation of everything they hate about humanity, huh. ]

Mm. I've heard that a lot. Nearly always from people with few or no significant accomplishments of their own.

[...Well, except Watari.]

Ha.

And what have you done exactly?

one thing we know he does: sux toes ://///

In the past three years? Emancipated myself; caught almost a hundred serial killers, bombers, and arsonists; secured complete, unquestioned authority over the world's police detective agencies; made millions of dollars for myself and my benefactors; funded the care and education of dozens of orphaned children; toppled the governing political regimes in two countries by unearthing their crimes and corruption; averted a world war. I may be forgetting a few. It all starts to run together after a while.

And yet with all that achievement the boy behind your title will be unmourned. A footnote in the long line of those wearing your name. All blending together.

You are the same as anyone else. You play your part as intended. And you will die for the glory of another, as intended.

Whether people mourn for me or not is meaningless. I'll be dead and unaware of the difference.

[Bitch.]

You were brought into this world to die at the hands of another. Anything and everything you have ever achieved has been meaningless compared to your pre-destined fate to die and be replaced. Your achievements are nothing, and your isolation will make your sacrifices just as worthless.

You assume that you're the smartest in the room at every encounter, mainly because there seem to be few people around you to point out that you are a fool. You are not stronger than those around you. You are weaker.

That's all.

[ Puppet. ]

Yes, yes. You are far from the first damaged child to mistake edgy nihilism for intelligence. Come back if you ever grow into less cliché coping mechanisms.

[Pizza cutter.]
