Talking to Alexander is very informative, mind breaking, but informative; after some consolation from Alexander, Charlotte feels better about the fate of her family.
(Chad:)”Alexander, you truly just have to mention god whenever you have the chance, do you not realize how terrifying it is when you do?”
Alexander appears confused, not because he does not understand, but Chad is “scolding” him for talking carelessly about god and Alexander thinks.
“Chad is probably turning the conversation away from heavy subjects by making a fool out of me… well he fucked up, I will now give him a lesson on GOD.”
The others in the room are also nodding along agreeing to Chad’s point of view; Selina, Cassandra, Charlotte and Nyarai are very disturbed by this knowledge for different reasons.
(Alexander:)”OK first time it was not my fault, we were having a casual conversation about your insecurities and anxieties about normal social stuff.
Which I told you guys was great, great that you guys feel those things, because that helps you stay human, though it should be in moderation…
And I mentioned that Chad is the greatest when it comes to this stuff as he has more fear in him than any other human on earth, but he uses it correctly.
His druidic magic and control of his nature AKA instinctual fear the best, it is true courage to still move forward even when weighed down by such immense fear.
And I might have mentioned that David is a “bad” example of this… not that he is not courageous, but that the way he handled things before might be bad.
Not that he fails at this, but he kills any form of fear that forms in his heart before it even gets the chance to take hold; he is basically fearless.
But there is a difference between being courageous and just plain stupid, David obviously not being stupid, but the way he handles fear is a weakness not yet apparent.
If all the fear of all life on earth was channeled into Chad through some spell, he would not even flinch and still move forward courageously.
David on the other hand has little to no experience with real powerful fear, so if this happened to him he might not move instantly like Chad, he might take a couple seconds…
Of course knowing that David is super prideful, I needed to mention a famous coward that David would actually be comparable to.
So I mentioned that even god is a coward, a coward that I honestly have little to no respect for, I respect David much more… or future David more.”
Alexander takes a couple breaths after his rant? The others around stare in even more horror than before, at least before they could pretend he did not mention god for any good reason.
But now it seems that he mentioned god with a very specific reason and that was to tell them clearly that he truly is a coward and David should not feel bad…
WTF ALEXANDER!? YOU CONSIDER THIS NORMAL INFORMATION DURING CASUAL CONVERSATION!? IF YOU DID NOT EXPLAIN YOURSELF WE COULD HAVE LIVED HAPPILY IN OUR IGNORANCE!!!
The room goes quiet as people start taking his words literally and as the “de facto” truth. This guy actually considers god a normal thing to talk about…
David starts reconsidering his life and may other things, Chad is just mentally gone, thinking that David will not be able to take this mental hit…
Selina and Cassandra look oddly better, their family fought against heaven so knowing for a fact that god is a coward is strangely reassuring.
Charlotte and Nyarai are reconsidering Alexander’s intelligence, he should not be this air headed right? Maybe he is lacking EQ instead of IQ…
(Alexander:)”So you see, perfectly reasonable reason to mention god; I mean if you guys where not aware of me shaking fate or feeling the truth directly from my soul.
Then nobody would worry about what I say.” He says happily with a smile, but is met with scolding from everybody around the table.
The fact that they know he is speaking the truth is what fucks them up the most, knowing what he is saying is the truth is disturbing.
It is not the same as the random cryptic things Chad says, or whatever crazy meth heads yell in alleys; Alexander is not comparable to any of that…
(Chad:)”And you are from the future?” (Alexander:)”Yes, I am from the future.” He responds happily, but realizes he said something stupid as Chad and David are smiling evilly.
(David:)”He just lied.” His and Chad’s smiles are really devilish right now and the rest of the group stare oddly at Alexander who sweats in panic.
“WTF will I do now, what excuse works; why did I say something that is obviously wrong infront of god damn Nightknight and Brightman?!” <-Alexander thinks.
(Chad:)”HA HA HA! There is no way you are just from the future, you seem closer to a fourth dimensional being than-” Chad suddenly stops as Alexander starts smiling evilly.
Chad just fucked up, not being able to be led by fate through conversation is a pain! Alexander smiling evilly and gloating at Chad and David who grits their teeth in anger.
(Alexander:)”Fourth dimensional being? Yeah you could consider me one of those or maybe just omniscient, there are many similarities between me and fourth dimensional beings.
You should know of one famous one right?” The pure evil emanating from Alexander is getting thicker and Chad feels a completely different sort of fear.
(Alexander:)”Sylgvairuun could be partially considered one… but he is not much. How about the infinite hands goddess, have you met her yet?
You know, your friend. Or your soulmate. Or your wife. Or your daughter. Or maybe she is all of those things? Now i truly do want to know what you felt was the truth?”
Alexander smiles like a devil, Chad is staring shell shocked at him and David was fine at first before he started worrying hard about his friend… all of that was true!?
