“What we want isn’t always what we need.” Vic glanced at Chel, who was still glaring at him and softened his tone, but it had to be said. Lexx was the only one who knew his dice. They needed him to keep them alive and Vic didn’t want to see any of them destroyed. The very thought made him feel queasy if this conversation led to Lexx walking away.
“I don’t understand.” Lexx responded honestly, “I don’t want to die. I didn’t choose this life.” He meandered, going where his emotions were taking him unchecked and uncontrolled for the moment. This wasn’t fair. He didn’t choose to have this life. He did not choose to be responsible for the dice. Why did everyone want him to be responsible for these things he did not choose, over and over again? Why did he have to be the one to handle all the problems that had been presented to him?
“I have done nothing wrong and I think I have to deserve something I want without everyone telling me I have an obligation to die.” Lexx stated wildly.

Yeah, the architects did NOT fix all of Lexx's little mental flips, although they are more stable. Unfortunately, he doesn't have any of the dampers that used to help him keep his emotions in check, but he doesn't have anyone manipulating his emotions anymore, and this is an extenuating circumstance. - Tiff

I think he means to say, “I think I deserve to have what I want without…” He doesn’t *have to* deserve anything… it doesn’t make sense.
On another note, I’ve always liked Lexx and felt sympathetic, but man, he really sounds like a whiny teenager lately. Makes him rather unlikeable. :/

Well his brains are a bit scrambled…maybe his grammar module got overloaded…
He appears to be trying out for the Olympic Conclusion Jumping team…I don’t remember anyone in the room telling him he had an obligation to die…

Well he’s just been told he’s facing the giant lent, and the pressure he’s had basically his entire life by the ADC is at an all time high. Vic is being a bit…stupid, and the pressure he’s adding onto Lexx is driving the stress level higher than normal.

Gah, GUANTLET. Dang you auto correct.

Hmmmmm….these pages are quite good. I like how the interaction between Vic and Lexx brings up some interesting points about Lexx and his Dice.

There is certainly a lot going on beneath the surface, to be sure.

“They needed him to keep them alive and Vic didn’t want to see any of them destroyed. ”
Aww, Vic, you care!!

The only problem is it seems Lexx is seeing how he’s saying it as some form of entrapment.
That’s a big problem with this game, it makes you really paranoid of what others want and what others tell you to do if your trying to survive it and get out of it like Lexx is.
Hopefully Vic can find the right words, he might distance Lexx from the MIB if he can’t figure a way to word his response to get Lexx to get his point.

Re: Architects not fixing all his issues.
They may have fixed all the structural issues and eliminated the nefarious program that was influencing his thoughts and actions, but Lex is still dealing with a lifetime of significant trauma.
There is no instant fix for that, no matter how powerful or technologically advanced the Architects are.

Ahh, seems to me what we have here is a failure… To communicate.
All we need is Riley showing up to offer his advice and we will have the perfect misery trifecta!
