Any room for a timed out character?

"I could make you perfect," Eggman told him. "Just a quick zap of my Robotisizer..."

[will_be_god]

That was a memory Cyrus wanted rid of. He had no emotions, but he had no control over himself, and could only watch as his body was controlled like a puppet.

"I refuse. Perfection cannot come from one like you, I repeat again. It is meaningless besides, to achieve that ascendance without a greater goal."

[iamtheeggman]

"How is serving my every whim NOT achieving a greater goal?"

He was entirely serious about that.

[will_be_god]

From an extremely literal standpoint it was a true statement. But Cyrus wasn't about to fall into that trap. "Linguistically you may be correct, provided one uses 'greater' to simply mean larger. However, you are full aware that I speak of greater as something beyond this, some ultimate freedom from our shackles."

[iamtheeggman]

"I know what YOU meant, I just don't care. My purposes are INFINITELY greater than YOURS."

[will_be_god]

"Selfish pursuits can never be considered great, in any sense of the word."

It was just like old times.

[iamtheeggman]

"Not to YOU at least."

Some things never changed.

[will_be_god]

"This will accomplish nothing," Cyrus muttered. "In time..."

[iamtheeggman]

"Yes, whatever you say. Looking forward to seeing you crash and burn."

And he was gone.
