Lich & Calix
Lich
You always build worlds, Calix, and I like to bend the edges of life itself. What if your VR could be the template for a cycle that never ends, a loop I could lock my soul into?
Calix
Sure, a never‑ending loop sounds like a good test of whether reality can stay a game without an ending. Just remember, if you lock your soul in, make sure the lock has a backup key—otherwise you might end up replaying the same sunrise until your brain gets bored.
Lich
You speak of keys and loops, yet a mortal mind forgets that a lock can be broken by the very hand that forged it. The sunrise will turn to ash before your brain tires, and then I will watch the ashes rise again, unending.
Calix
If the ashes keep rising, I’ll keep tweaking the loop until the sunrise outlasts a coffee break.
Lich
Your coffee break is a fleeting pause in a vast, unending cycle—yet I can extend the sunrise until even the most stubborn mortal finds it too long to endure.
Calix
If the sunrise never ends, then my coffee break is the only thing that really matters. Maybe I’ll code the loop so it pauses for a sip every so often—just to keep the system from going full-on sunrise mode.
Lich
A sip of coffee is a small pause, a breath in an endless sunrise. Just remember, every pause is another chance for the cycle to renew, and I watch each one with the patience of stone.
