I'd try permanence 'cause it's guaranteed to take that, but you already went.

[justonezero]

...

I'd really rather just miss out on talking to you for a few days than risk something bad happening to you, like, existentially.

[1797]

Can't imagine permanence would even be that bad, to be honest.

[justonezero]

It sounds pretty bad, though. Especially since you get so many points for it.

[1797]

Perspective probably matters more than the points.

[justonezero]

...

The only reason I didn't pick it was because I thought for sure you'd be upset. But maybe I should've picked it after all.

[1797]

You could've tried, but I would have kicked your ass before you could finish the captcha.

[justonezero]

Why's it different when it's you?

[1797]

'Cause I don't hate myself. I just know what I'd rather live with.

[justonezero]

I'd rather live with being the one hurt than my first friend.

[1797]

I mean this wasn't my first choice.

[justonezero]

...Just use our friendship. Please.

I can live with that.

[1797]

It's not that I don't understand where you're coming from, or why it would be easier...or even make more sense.

But I'd rather die than let someone tamper with my memories.

[justonezero]

Would it be memories? Maybe you'd just feel like, "ugh, why was I even friends with him, anyway?"

[1797]

That's a level of brain surgery I'm still not really into.

And besides, I didn't just pick "survival" at random.

[justonezero]

What do you think it would be?

[1797]

Kind of hoping that since sacrificing something equals survival, sacrificing survival will just...negate it? Maybe throw some kind of third option into the mix?

[justonezero]

...

Sacrificing something means we clear the room, so I don't think sacrificing your life goes against that?

[1797]

The exact phrasing is, "Sacrifice something valuable in exchange for survival."

[justonezero]

That still means I could survive but you wouldn't?!

[1797]

Jorunna, I am so sick of filling out captchas. I'm willing to gamble a little.

[justonezero]

I'll fill them out for you so just pick something else!

[1797]

We're running out of time. It's not even guaranteed it'll accept that as a response.

[justonezero]

Then you'd have to think of something else anyway!
