Does it matter who had it the worst? You both suffered for the same reason. You just didn't realize it at the time.

[ashenvaliant]

Oh no, I was fully aware of it at the time. However I didn't have a public image to maintain in the same way she would've done.

[skyagain]

So that's why you think it was worse?

[ashenvaliant]

No one thinks twice if some little gutter snipe lashes out at them. It’s not ideal, as it puts me back at square one, but at least I could.

The celebrated young star of the Mittelfrank Opera? Nooot quite as forgivable.

[skyagain]

... Right. So basically, she had to keep it locked in tight or else?

[ashenvaliant]

I would assume so. You know what old rich men with too much power are like. They think they’re the Goddess’ gift to mankind.

[skyagain]

Yeah. No fucking kidding. [ don corneo is not even on the top of his rich shit list ] They're more like a plague than a gift.

[ashenvaliant]

[ ff7 is just the cast rolling out their list of rich assholes and going after them, huh. ]

That's a polite way of putting it. Yet, they persist and you still find them everywhere. Frustrating, no?

[skyagain]

[ and also aliens ]

So long as there's people in power, there's always going to be people trying to take advantage of it. No way around that.

[ashenvaliant]

[ AND ALSO ALIENS gee ff7 who let you have political and social power problems AND booba alien ladies trying to wreck shit? ]

It’d be nice if there was some way to prevent that but… well. With people involved it’s never likely.

[skyagain]

You can't control people. Best you can do is try to stop it when you see it happen. But usually by the time they get power like that... No one's really around that can do anything about it.

[ashenvaliant]

Other than rely on that old "the bigger they are the harder they fall" saying.

[skyagain]

Problem is getting them to fall at all without causing collateral damage around them.

[ashenvaliant]

[ he sighs. ]

They do like making lives especially difficult, don't they.

[skyagain]

Wouldn't be the "rich and powerful" if they didn't.

[ashenvaliant]

It is possible to be both and not make people’s lives your playthings. Unless, of course, they deserve it. [ like if they are rich and powerful nobles in the first place. ]

[skyagain]

You ever actually met someone like that?

[ashenvaliant]

[ he tilts his head. ]

Maybe one person. But they're incredibly cautious not to become like those people.

[skyagain]

Guess that's already one more than I know.

[ashenvaliant]

Maybe.
