So if you were Statesman or Sister Psyche ...

Would you marry someone who aged normally?

As far as we know, Marcus Cole hasn't been involved with anyone since his wife passed away-- and if The Freedom Phalanx novel was canon, that would be nearly 25 years ago. That's an awfully long time to be single.

Shalice Tillman married a man who's probably 50 years younger than she is, who grew up in a world of differing expectations and societal mores. She lived through World War 2, Woodstock, the civil rights movement -- was Manticore even alive during Woodstock?

Knowing you might have centuries ahead of you, would you risk falling in love with someone who'll grow old in what might seem like the blink of an eye to you?

And if you did-- once you went through that-- could you do it again?

If you were Statesman, would you marry again?

It sounds like you all are talking about a part of the anatomy that's a little bit SOUTH of the heart

Remember what Lorien told Ivanova about love and mortality.

I don't know.

Would I resist entering a relationship more strongly, were I aware that I'd probably outlive my grandchildren? I think so. But is it possible some woman above such a threshold exists? I think that is possible, too.

Yes. How else can you learn what's precious in life?

Besides, when you live day-by-day, that time with those you love can leave your extended lifetime with spectacular memories.

Wouldn't Sister Psyche now age normally because she is in her original body again?

Yes, if she chooses not to use her 'Mindride' signature ability

If I was Statesman I would just have meaningless one-night stands with whatever thousands of women he gets to rescue, without any type of feelings involved whatsoever.


(I'd stay away from my own granddaughter though, cause that's just creepy)

I don't think that Sister Psyche's power can work the way they say it has. She literally is close to being 90 years old, but she doesn't look physically any older than mid-30s.

If she only doesn't age when she's mind-riding someone, then she'd have to spend at least 2/3 of her life outside her own body ....

Ah, but if you were having thousands of one-night stands with women you saved how could you be sure one of them WASN'T your daughter, granddaughter, or even great-granddaughter?

Funny, Golden.

Couldn't she have done that, though? I admit that there's no explanation as to why; at least, there isn't any that I know of.

I don't know if she could or not. (Who would take care of her body for those months at a time when she was running around as someone else?)

And if she did, how heroic does that make her?

Would it be very heroic of Shalice to fight crime in someone else's body, putting that body at risk while her own stays safe and sound?

(Hm. That sort of gives me an idea for a dark fic/MA about Sister Psyche ...)

Actually, some people don't value relationships as highly as others. Still others find something they value more than a relationship. I can think of a few professors I respect that chose a career over love. In these cases, they love investing in students' futures, and they are quite happy with their life.

In fact, in my life, I'm pursuing a person who's torn between career and love. It makes for a complicated life.

Passions run deep, and aren't necessarily focused on another person.

Tyrant thinks otherwise.

I can see many of us holding that against him when GR comes out.

Says who? The whole point of this thread is asking peoples opinions. Since you seem resolute in your position, then I can be equally resolute in mine.

You can live a completely full and healthy, happy life without love or similarly equitable relationships.
