Or maybe the universe just wants to see you wet.

[counterstep]

wouldn't be the first time the universe wanted to screw me over, I guess

[notsogroovy]

Or, third option, you could just use an umbrella. Don't know if you've heard of it.

[counterstep]

storm broke the one I had while I was using it
things seem to break a lot easier now

[notsogroovy]

Tell me about it. I never thought I'd be old enough to talk about the 'good ol' days'.

[counterstep]

a shame, really
since things are technically better now than they've ever been

but my umbrella broke and I've only used it twice

[notsogroovy]

Better? How do you figure that? I grew up in the shadow of war and thirty years later, we were in another war. And then another one.

[counterstep]

well
globally, there's less starvation, better technology, and helpful medicines that would have been very useful to have around when I was a kid

[notsogroovy]

I guess it depends on where and how you're looking. Not that long ago, I found a kid a lot like I was - only a bit older - who'd been thrown into a fighting pit.

[counterstep]

we can't save everyone
you should already know that

[notsogroovy]

Maybe not, but you save who you can. You should know THAT.

[counterstep]

there are more surviving now than there would have been before

why can't you accept that as a win?

[notsogroovy]

Because I'm looking at a group that's always been overlooked. One where faster communication and faster travel means that they're not surviving more than they might have before.

[counterstep]

you understand that I'm an outsider and can't do anything for your group without being ostracized by the people I'm trying to help, right?

I do what I can for the people around me, and those things happen to be game changers for my usual missions
for you and yours, I can only try to support you from afar, but that also only works because of that faster communication and faster travel
