Do you have a nemesis?

And before I get the chatter about 'well isn't this post ominous' or 'my nemesis is posts like these', you all seem like a very colorful sort that live unique lives back home. Besides, it's an adequate way to look out for people who might be dangerous in upcoming months.

Nobody here. Maybe not even a single person.

(If only he knew what's waiting for him in his future...)

[mirakills]

You would be one of the lucky ones. Even a cashier who looked at you the wrong way could be a nemesis.

[brotrips]

Huh? Isn't that taking it too far? A nemesis should have to do something worse than that.

[mirakills]

Not quite. A nemesis inspires hate. Humans feel hatred on a scale not binary to other humans. What someone can take great offense to is no big deal for another.

A nemesis can be a bus driver who doesn't believe you lost your pass. Or it could be someone who slew your entire family, whatever upsets you the most.

Can you count yourself as a nemesis?

[mirakills]

There's no bigger enemy than the self, is there?

[absolutperfection]

That's exactly what I was getting at.
You get me.

[mirakills]

Indeed, the way we sabotage ourselves is more damning than what most people can do to you. Someone can ruin your reputation, but only you can hate yourself for it.

Does it count if it's like one person against the pair of you?

[mirakills]

Why not? A villain is a villain, through and through. Who is the second half of your pair?

[11calls]

My friend Richard, but he's not here.

[mirakills]

Richard...
And if I may ask, how did you end up gaining such enemies?

Thankfully nobody here, and I haven't had a nemesis in a while...though I suppose my team has several.

[mirakills]

Ah.
Are you a 'hero'?
Or something of the sort? The team bit tips you off.

[athiefalways]

People call me that, sometimes, and I guess it's true enough.

[mirakills]

You save the general populace from outside harm, then. That's enough of a definition.

How do you feel about them? Your enemies. Misguided products of an unfair life or an evil to be taken down?

[earlofphantoms]

Many! I doubt I could name all of them in one sitting. Besides, your very worst nemesis is the one you don't know.

[mirakills]

Or the self.

Though one never truly knows the self, do they?

[earlofphantoms]

Correct. I thought I knew myself well, but being here has proven me wrong.

vegetarians.

i've never really met one and they're probably very nice, but i don't think they'd eat lunch with me.

[mirakills]

... I laughed.

Good job.

[foxtrots]

good, i like making people laugh.

what about you? do you have a nemesis?

[hasitsthorns]

Not here, nah.
Back home though?
Absolutely.

[mirakills]

How many, if I may ask?

[hasitsthorns]

hhmmm
just one, I think
maybe two
