JCC The Elevator Thread: 1 person gets out alive

You're up against Vin in an elevator, Zapdos. Think you can take him on?

 

i'd flay him alive

 

Yeah, totally zapdos. Vin's all talk. Faced with an actual situation, he would doubtless be on his knees attempting to protect his head from the blows Zapdos is raining down on him.

 

Zapdos survives to be stuck in this god-awful situation another day! Vin's carcass gets to mingle with Tunick's at the bottom of the elevator well.

For our next match-up, Ramza and Lord Vivec in one of those mirrored elevators. Who gets out alive?

 

Vivian.

 

Ramza is quite clever.

But cleverness isn't quite enough when you're dealing with someone like Vivec. Vivec will likely be feasting on that intelligent, remarkable brain shortly.

 

Vivec, he's better at practical applications than I am.

 

Do you even want to live, Ramza?

 

You just asked a philosopher that question.

I hope you've prepared yourself.

 

Fixed your typo. Silly English as a second language girl.

 

You know, I just realized, all you have to do is bring up snuff scenes and you've probably got this in the bag, Vivec.

 

True authenticity is only attained in Sein-zum-Tode, the being-towards-death. Death is always already a part of the individual - it makes the individual possible by virtue of its total incompatibility with Dasein. So it's fine.

 

Until I googled all that, I was pretty willing to bet you just made a bunch of **** up.

 

I was thinking more like Ramza looks at himself in the mirror, contemplates existence and just gets frozen.

 

I know I'm late to this, but would I at least be able to have a smoke during this elevator ride of death?

 

That would be all philosophy

 

Tunes: what, and give you a potential weapon, whereas harp would have none? I don't think so.

 

Whoa, low blow.

 

i'm putting my money on ramza. his apathy might come in handy.

 

No, no... she could have any weapon she'd like, I'd just prefer to have the option for one last stogie before the death match ensues.

 

No, it's a compliment. Murder for survival is the ultimate practical application because it requires a temporary rejection of the inevitability of one's death and the belief that one's own life is not only meaningful but also more important. Totally nonsensical from any theoretical viewpoint.

 

Change your name back and you can have stogies for life, Darth Tunick.
