Who: these boys & you
Where: hotel lobby
When: day 226, evening

[ a couple of missing persons who have been out since day 215 are stepping into the lobby; lucifel has a bronze medal and izanami has a gold medal. ]

That was enjoyable, . . . Izanami-san? That was fun.

[ ayumu takes a moment, before answering nonchalantly, ]

Not half-bad. I learned something myself.

Your words are too kind~ That should be my line, though; thank you for your guidance, Izanami-san.

By the way -

[ before lucifel can continue, ayumu raises a hand. ]

Bye then.

[ and just like that, the LiliS is going to the elevator. conversation: deleted.

you can catch ayumu on his way back home or lucifel, who's sitting himself in the lobby and taking out his phone to do ??something??

or if your name is aradia or doodleman you can get a text that just says:

Are you saying you won't attend? As my unitmate, you're practically close kin.

I... don't own a suit.

Re: LIVE

Our unit colour is black. You'll be fine.

Funerals do sound like the sort of thing Zrael would be into.

Re: LIVE

I think Req did one for a guy on Taisho once. Kinda surprising that we haven't done it more.

Re: LIVE

[selfpreservationist]

It's a ceremony, so it should be fine as long as Taisho are the ones we're murdering.

Re: LIVE

[avestan]

You say that like murder is a problem otherwise.

Re: LIVE

[selfpreservationist]

More of an inconvenience, really.

Re: LIVE

[avestan]

It might be inconvenient, but that doesn't mean it's not worth doing.

Re: LIVE

[selfpreservationist]

... is there someone on Taisho you want to murder, specifically?

Re: LIVE

[avestan]

All of them.

Re: LIVE

[selfpreservationist]

I said specifically for a reason.

Re: LIVE

[avestan]

I guess there isn't if you really wanna narrow it down...

Re: LIVE

[selfpreservationist]

You just like murder.

Re: LIVE

[avestan]

Haha. It's a little more complicated than that, but sure.

Re: LIVE

[selfpreservationist]

Tell me about it.

Re: LIVE

[avestan]

Eh, I dunno if I want to. Usually people don't get it when I try to explain.

Re: LIVE

[selfpreservationist]

Try me. I'm genuinely curious.

Re: LIVE

[avestan]

[huffs a little before ambling over to a seat and gesturing for raven to follow]

Basically, I don't actually feel that strongly about the act of killing itself. I just hate everyone.

Re: LIVE

[selfpreservationist]

[follows]

Dare I ask why?

Re: LIVE

[avestan]

That's the complicated part. It's because of who and what I am.

Re: LIVE

[selfpreservationist]

Which are...?

Re: LIVE

[avestan]

...There's a religion on Earth called Zoroastrianism. Ever heard of it?

Re: LIVE

[selfpreservationist]

[religion in dmc is Special but ostensibly, yes]

I'm not too familiar with it, but I have heard of it. It's an old religion, isn't it?

Re: LIVE

[avestan]

That's right. It's one of the oldest religions with a dualistic worldview - the idea that god, Ahura Mazda, the representation of all that is good, is opposed by a devil. Angra Mainyu, the representation of all that is evil.

I'm... well, I'm sort of like a stand-in for Angra Mainyu.
