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:

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.

Re: LIVE

[selfpreservationist]

[my dad's demon jesus so this doesn't sound too unbelievable]

A "stand-in"?

Re: LIVE

[avestan]

I'm not the real Angra Mainyu, but I'm a spirit that fulfills the same function.

Re: LIVE

[selfpreservationist]

Being the source of all evil? Who would need a replica of a god like that...

Re: LIVE

[avestan]

Why do you think gods like that exist in the first place?

Re: LIVE

[selfpreservationist]

Honestly, I don't pretend to know. People don't worship gods where I'm from. But please, continue.

Re: LIVE

[avestan]

It's so you have an explanation for why suffering and sin exist. In other words, so you have someone to blame.

Re: LIVE

[selfpreservationist]

...

Oh.

Re: LIVE

[avestan]

So that's my role. To be hated by the world and to hate it in return.

Re: LIVE

[selfpreservationist]

... I see.

Re: LIVE

[avestan]

And because I hate everyone, I want to kill them.

Haha, it actually isn't that complicated when I put it like this and don't go too much into detail.

Re: LIVE

[selfpreservationist]

It's just a fact of your existence. Well, then.

Re: LIVE

[avestan]

Yup! No need for any further questions, right?
