Clock Tower Courtyard

Like his patronus, Bryn's hearing was sharp, hawk-like. 'Really?'

"Pardon?"

ooc Bryn: what, your ego didn't hear what i said?

and what's the opposite of grey!?

ic 'You said it was the first time you'd ever hear someone say they value you being their ally.'

OOC Gray is a composite of itself.

IC

"On this side that is."

'they're too afraid to say it then.' he concluded, shrugging. 'You're still a scary guy.'

ooc -smiles smugly-
exactly.
it has no opposite.

OOC a color is inconsequential compared to all else in the world

IC

"Back then I wasn't. I had done nothing wrong and they still treated me like trash."

ooc thanks to this there's a debate on my irl fb >.>
the world is COMPRISED of colour, it's hardly insignificant.

what's the opposite of purgatory?
what's the opposite of a human being?

ic 'but that's not going to happen anymore, you aren't that person you used to be.'

OOC Purgatory= Death
Human= Corpse

IC

"I wouldn't say that."

the opposite of
the number 5
the letter V
purgatory is a state of death btw..

ic 'You're stronger, and you're more able to stand up for yourself.' those were the obvious differences Bryn pointed out.

OOC meant life

IC

"True, but I SCARE people. That's what;s always happened."

but if heaven is the opposite of hell, and purgatory is in the middle..
Purgatory is also an afterlife

0 doesn't have an opposite
SOME THINGS DONT HAVE OPPOSITES OKAY.
especially the colour grey

ic 'But you don't need to do that now. You've got my respect by just treating me like any other human being.'

OOC But you forgot, all those things you mentioned purgatory, the letter V are HUMAN made concepts. Everything that occurs naturally does.

IC

"You maybe, but who else?"

OOC IDK why but for some reason this reminds me of when Zuko is confronting Ozai

i remember that scene c:

but the idea of opposites is also a human concept
especially the idea of yin and yang


ic 'Anyone else you treat with respect will feel the same, i garuntee it. All people want is to be understood..'

"All I wanted was to be left alone."

OOC Incorrect. Opposites are naturally occuring. Fire/water, Metal/rust, wood/termites. Every force of creation has a force of destruction with the exception of matter itself.

-pops up-
nature doesn't have an opposite

you're missing a piece

Preservation. There is the creation of an object, the destruction of an object but in between there must be the maintenance/preservation. If there is preservation, there must be a middle ground between opposites, therefore something musn't have an opposite.

and that kids, is the Hindu Trimurti.

MY BRAIN.

ic 'You didn't want anyone to comfort you, to help you? to understand what you were going through?'

OOC Artificial is natures opposite.

Is it preservation or just good construction?

IC

"Why? No one would. Solace came from solitude."

it's vishnu, the third part of the Trimurti. Something actually has to BE there for it to be destroyed/created

but once again, the idea of creation/destruction is hindu, a human concept. Opposite is a human idea.

and give me a moment, this convo is hurting my brain so much i have honestly no idea how to respond ic

'Someone would've, eventually.'

"Believe me, no they wouldn't have."

i think what mer's trying to say is that in nature, there are no true opposites per se. The idea of something being opposite is in our own minds.

ie dark is the opposite of light. But dark is just the absence of light.
In nature, what we see as 'opposites' are really just absences of things.
There is a fire because there is an absence of water to put it out

there we go?

that's what i meant actually o.o

and of course creation/preservation/destruction. the key to life blah blah blah

at the end of the day, grey still doesnt have an opposite. Neither does 0.
this is too much for my tiny brain to process.

ic 'I would've had i been there.'

OOC Interesting thoughts, I shall give this further contemplation. I don't accept it as correct but I believe it's worthy of further thought

IC

"But you weren't."

all i wanted to know was the opposite of grey
-hides in the corner clutching her head-

once again i am fucking stumped as to what to say. i cant do bryn when my brain hurts.

ic 'I don't know.' Bryn flails.

It's okay! I gtg bye!
