Oh, I know you were being sarcastic. It was more of a remark aimed at no one in particular.

Discussions about free will and this sort of stuff depress me greatly. Every. Fucking. Time.

You have been stuck on a mountain after a failed expedition. Sadly, all of your co-workers have died from a land slide. Now you are alone, venturing through a cave in hopes of shelter. The floor beneath you breaks, causing you to fall and stumble downwards until you reach a pond of water. Quickly getting your head out of the hot water, so as not to suffocate, your gaze meets a dragon girl, sitting at the edge of the pond a few feet away. Her legs spread apart, not caring that she's exposed.

"Oh my~" She says, then smiles.

How do you proceed?
