ZA: Simple. ZA: I see your brother online. ZA: And I piss him off. ZA: It's surprisingly easy. ZA: I could literally call the guy "fat". ZA: And even if he isn't. ZA: He'd flip his shit. ZA: And scream out threats and profanity.

ZA: As I said. ZA: Pissing Finn off is how I make sure it goes right. ZA: But I'm just going to assume you mean as a mental stance. ZA: It's complicated. ZA: It does help that I know it will precede my ascension. ZA: But there's still the fact that you have to experience it. ZA: Really, the truth is. ZA: I'm not going to feel it. ZA: No matter what he does. ZA: I won't feel a bit of it. ZA: It won't be painful. ZA: To be honest. ZA: The fact that I know he's going to kill me is a blessing in disguise. ZA: Because otherwise I would fight it. ZA: And I probably would kill him.

QW: So we have that in common.

ZA: I am not sure. ZA: As I said, I can manage my body and mind. ZA: That's how it works. ZA: I literally will not feel a thing. ZA: I don't know if there's a way around that. ZA: For you, you might be able to mitigate it. ZA: But not negate it. ZA: I'd imagine just fast forwarding until you die. ZA: Or the equivalent of such an act. ZA: Or wait until you are asleep. ZA: I imagine your death will also result in your ascension. ZA: So how are you going to go?

QW: I asked him to make it quick and painless. QW: I think he will.

ZA: Then ask him? ZA: It would take all of V seconds. ZA: If Ocia is going to kill you. ZA: Then have him do it when you're on your quest bed. ZA: If he's having visions now. ZA: Then if it was important. ZA: He would've specified where you had to die.

ZA: It's up to you. ZA: For the most part, I say you'll ascend. ZA: You can attach that claus you know. ZA: Really, if you absolutely have to go into a self pitying rant. ZA: Then by all means. ZA: Though I am likely not the best one to do so. ZA: You understand yourself better than anyone. ZA: Hint. ZA: Hint.

ZA: You have technically died once. ZA: I think. ZA: Either way you've been doomed once for sure. ZA: So you know what it's like. ZA: Better than any one of us. ZA: So perhaps you should talk to yourself about that. ZA: As you would undoubtedly know about impending doom.

ZA: Sage would be a nice class. ZA: But no. ZA: I'm just the outsider looking in. ZA: So I'm afraid my class is still Prince. ZA: Which means I still lead you guys, I suppose. ZA: At this point, it's safe to assume the teams are dissolved. ZA: So, spread the word, I guess. ZA: Competition's over. ZA: From here on, I guess I'm leading all of you. ZA: Well, me or someone else, I suppose.

QW: Remarkably nervous. QW: And QW: I don't know QW: Excited.
