... If I die, I'm not dooming a whole universe of people, am I?

[outsidebones]

Wow. That isn't what I thought you'd say at all. I have no idea.

[headmt]

It isn't ... ?

[outsidebones]

No. It is little surprise you consider yourself to be the center of the universe, and yet I imagine it will continue on whether or not you give permission.

[headmt]

What-- No. That's not what I meant. The opposite. If I died, I wouldn't be. You would.

[outsidebones]

...Oh. I see. It's a different flavor of vanity.

It isn't a universe of people, it's a system. Not that it makes it much better, but a good portion of my civilization lives in other systems and would survive the death of Dominicus.

[headmt]

Why am I being accused of vanity!

[ god ]

This is why I didn't finish the thought to you!

[outsidebones]

I don't see why my hostage situation is about you!

[headmt]

Obviously your hostage situation is about me! Your whole situation is about me!

[outsidebones]

It patently isn't! It's barely even about me!
