Schuldig, please... you're not helping me.

And I have no self-preservation instinct and very little common sense, as I've demonstrated time and time again.

.....unfortunately I doubt you've managed to demonstrate it as... effectively as I have.

I jumped on an assassin's back, ran off on my own the second night I was here, and opened a drawer full of hallucinogen. I'm not exactly sure how much more effective one can get.

....I'd rather not talk about my own qualifications.

True enough. But you have some, which still puts you pretty far ahead of your friend here.

One also has to take into account what sorts of common sense are evident in various worlds, though. For example, it's common sense in Japan to remove one's shoes before entering a house, but in most other countries we tramp across our carpets in shoes.

Unfortunately on Colu, common sense equates with not leaving our homeworld and avoiding contact with other species if at all possible.

I suppose even by my people's standards, I am considered to have little by way of common sense.

That is unfortunate. I've learned a great deal from other species and through studying their technology. And living your life without seeing another country or another world... how tragic.

Well, I suppose I'm glad that you've broken both tenets here.

I think it's safe to say that taunting a telepath is considered a grievous lack of common sense in any world or culture.

[byname-bynature.livejournal.com]

True, but then where would you get your entertainment from?

[k4t4str0ph4l.livejournal.com]

You, of course.

[byname-bynature.livejournal.com]

Yes, but I'm smart enough not to taunt you. You'd be demoted to making jokes about my inability to move past holding hands.

[k4t4str0ph4l.livejournal.com]

Well, that's fun, too.

[byname-bynature.livejournal.com]

But not as amusing as... how did you put it? Ripping out everyone's most personal insecurities and displaying them on the board, framed with their entrails?

[k4t4str0ph4l.livejournal.com]

Did I ever put it like that? Pure poetry. I'm proud of myself in retrospect.

[byname-bynature.livejournal.com]

Yes, someone threatened me when I asked them a simple question, and you leaped on them. It was a rather touching moment, actually.

[k4t4str0ph4l.livejournal.com]

Well, no one's allowed to be more of a bastard than I am.
