What is paradise?

For the person who brought us here, this place is paradise. After all, they can play with their toys all they want, break them all they want, and repair them all they want. The same for their play set. And in a way, I guess that is a valid paradise, isn't it? In the end, comfort is what everyone wants to some degree. And this place must make our captor comfortable, so I suppose that then is paradise.

But what's paradise to one person isn't to another, as we're finding out here. I suppose, then, if you had to design paradise, a perfect world: what would it be?

I wonder if that's really possible from where we are now.

[firstofthefallen]

If it isn't from where we are now, then we need to simply move to a point where it is.

[weiss_tank]

But what kind of point would that be? We've got freakin' Gods trapped in this place. It's hard to think of a higher point then that.

[firstofthefallen]

Gods who haven't regained their full powers yet, in most cases. And time is rarely a captors friend.

And there is much that can be above gods as well.

[weiss_tank]

Like what? [You've got him curious now]

[firstofthefallen]

Like man.

[[ooc: god damn, I wish Ken was a sci-fi nerd so I could make a 'what does God need with a starship' joke]]

Man? I know normal people can take out those with super powers, but being more powerful then God?

[firstofthefallen]

Do you think it's truly impossible?

[weiss_tank]

Not for some...I mean, the beings who run this place have taken in God's as I've said, they may have been normal people once but they sure ain't now.

I guess what I'm trying to say is I don't know if it's possible to stay normal and still defeat a God.

[firstofthefallen]

There's a difference between gods and God.

Normalcy, I think, is a subjective term. One might be extraordinary, and yet still be human.

[weiss_tank]

I'd like for that to be so, I don't know. Nothing can surprise me anymore I don't think.

[firstofthefallen]

You should take care in saying that.

[weiss_tank]

Ugh, right. That's almost an invite for something stupid and strange to happen.

[firstofthefallen]

Some things are universal in that regard I suppose.

[weiss_tank]

Why can't something pleasant be universal instead of something stupid like a jinx.

[firstofthefallen]

I think there are many things that are pleasant that are universal.

[weiss_tank]

Well, ok, yeah I guess so.

[firstofthefallen]

My, what conviction.

[weiss_tank]

Well, there's kittens and puppies back home, and here, and I haven't seen many people going around asking what they were so...

I'd call them universal, and they're pretty pleasant.

[firstofthefallen]

[A little bit of laughter at that.]

That is one way to look at that which is spread among the universe I suppose.

[weiss_tank]

I'm not good at the abstract. I'm better if I stick to what I can see.
