When a laid-back Host meets a hyper-motivated System
System: Charge ahead, Host! Let's crush the scumbags! Let's slap them in the face! Show them how amazing task-takers are!!!
The Host silently hefted a little hoe: Sure. I'll get to it after I finish weeding this patch.
A few days later
System: All right, the weeding's done! Let's go crush those scumbags!!
The Host rummaged through a sack: Hold on, I still have some pumpkins to plant.
A few days later
System: Host, when are we finally going to crush those scumbags!!!
Host: Just a little longer. I still have a few acres of fruit to harvest...
A few years later
System: ...Host, the mission... Huh? When did we complete it??!

Theme: Being laid-back doesn't mean doing nothing. It means not insisting on a particular outcome after you've done your part.
