Oh, the blasphemer.

Well, she's a monster, too; I'll readily agree to that.

"Blasphemer"?

[ is this foreign vampire woman really into the Immaculate Philosophy or something, ]

To claim to be the one true God, worthy of pardoning or punishing sin, is really the height of narcissism and hubris. Which is to say she's roleplaying from the religion I subscribe to and I'm not really a fan of it.

Ah, you're one of those who believe in a singular god.

Apparently, in her own world, she was the god of some city—which to her, might as well have been the whole world.
...And in my world, mad gods like her would be put down.

...would you know, the name label on my profile just says "ATTACK AND DETHRONE GOD"?

Does it?

[ incredible. ]

Clearly fate denied the gods their chance to offer you Exaltation.
—Ah, I hope that's not inappropriate to say, given your faith.

I'll take it in the spirit it was intended.

I wondered about my history with faith, honestly, since there's quite a bit of mismatched sentiment regarding religion on my profile. But perhaps in this particular case I can take it as a mandate.

Well, I suppose you know my own proclivities well enough by now to guess what I'd suggest, between the options.

Well, if we hadn't been indisposed, I think all of BAD END would have been ready to deliver quite the rebuke.

Yes...

[ She smiles, though it goes a bit thin. ]

It was... hard to spare the concentration, but... I do remember seeing Thorn making the prison bars ring as he struck them with a blade. I don't know how he even brought one in.

[ fushigi mystery. ]

[ mystery indeed. ]

But, ah—it seems like you’ve found significantly more fun in this game, then.

Somehow, yes, I'm finding it much more enjoyable.

...What about you, though? You seem to prefer mortality to vampirism, but I can imagine that it might be... bittersweet, perhaps.

A brief blessing in disguise I'll take as a rare treat nonetheless. Or at least that's how I prefer to look at it.

I'm glad, then. This place offers strange sources of joy, but they are no less precious for that.

You could call me an optimist, I suppose. Hope springs eternal, as it were, even if I don’t entirely trust anything that comes from Hell.

It seems like you’re having a good time as well.

I admit I am—though for once I've put my, ah, competitive streak aside. Which is actually fairly notable, from me!

With all that has happened lately, though... I'm glad to do something simply on my own terms.

I suppose I wouldn't quite say I'm competitive, but I do like winning—I'm just not really suited to this type of competition, I think. I suppose some of the young ones would say this is "self care," wouldn't they?

[ a chuckle ]

At this point, there are so many things that have gotten called "self care" for Lives, I think I know even less what it means that when I started.

As long as they're having fun, I suppose.
