You and a super intelligent snail both get 1 million dollars, and you both become immortal, however you die if the snail touches you. It always knows where you are and slowly crawls toward you. What's your plan? Feels on brand to ask this today with everything going on. #snailposting
But where's the fun in that?
Aside from the everpresent lingering fear that some cosmic intelligence beyond mortal ken finds it and transforms repurposes or subsumes it and enters our world to kill either me or, having generalized the snail's ability, literally everyone?
Exactly, doesn't that make for more interesting stakes in like than just, "I'm immortal and live forever because I killed a snail"
Exactly! The plan was never to neutralize the snail entirely but to change the game. Who knows how long it will be before something in the Void finds it?
STAND TALL AND FIGHT IT MAN TO MAN.
I see, well I suppose your right. Perhaps a twisted version of the snail who seeks revenge returns in the far future to enact it's revenge. Rather good for an improvised story.
So, you'd touch it. And die.
Badly.
He didn't exactly think that through did he?
YOU DONβT HAVE TO TOUCH IT TO FIGHT IT. I HAVE MY STAFF.
