And yet if you were given a chance to save a group of people from a disaster that doesn't stop, wouldn't you?

[ he doesn't deny that it opens up new ones, however he doesn't think itehari being in the sky is necessarily the problem. sometimes you make choices in leadership and they're not always perfect but they still have to happen. anyway he waves a hand ]

We trade with the surface for necessary supplies—Itehari has things they don't, too. But it's limited to business and no one actually goes to the surface for leisure.

[aerodynamic]

... fair point. [ he would, yes, but he still isn't sure this was the right idea. but what does he know? ]

I don't get how it's the surface if you're technically above the ground, but that's not the point. What kind of supplies does Itehari have that you could trade?

[tindery]

[ one of tobari's fatal flaws of which there are many is a constant attempt to understand people

anyway, ]

Technology. While we lack in natural resources, we're able to refine most of what we have into useful things that the surface lacks.

[aerodynamic]

I guess that would be a fair trade-off, sure. If the technology could maybe help with the storms hitting the surface though, would Itehari ever move down again?

[tindery]

[ this bottom baby icon....

anyway, ]

Maybe.

... Big 'if' though. You ever tried stopping a storm? A literal force of nature?

[aerodynamic]

[ the way i had to tab up because that could've been a few icons. but tobari says this and yosuke has to consider what may count. ]

... we fought a goddess who wanted to send the world into a void of darkness, does that count?

[tindery]

... does this have to do with the literal end of the world you were talking about earlier?

[aerodynamic]

Yeah. That was a few weeks ago before I came here. [ a pause. ] Not that I think it means solving a literal storm is any easier.

[tindery]

[ shrugs ]

Maybe it could. [ he can admit when he made an incorrect assumption ] If a goddess is the one causing the storms, I can hope that someone might put an end to her shit.

But as is, there's no answer to fending off natural disasters.

[aerodynamic]

I guess... it's really about solving one problem at a time. And your plate already sounds kinda full as it is. [ so he can also at least back off a little on how a utopia does not sound great. ] Sometimes all we can do is make the most of circumstances when we end up in places we didn't ask to be in.
