How annoying. What should be expected next...fire and brimstone?


(action for housemates)

[Ne's standing by one of the windows in the library watching the destruction outside. At the first sign of problems ne had shielded the castle so they'll be safe enough, it's just annoying.]

Comments

[valentineluke]

Mount Vesuvius making a grand appearance?

[indecent_butterfly]

All the rocks and none of the lava.

[valentineluke]

Poorly executed zen garden creation, then.

[subecho]

...no, please.

[indecent_butterfly]

Very poor as One can not see any relaxation coming soon from this.

video;

[indecent_butterfly]

Not to your liking either?

action;

[beyourarmy]

[Quietly, expression hard, eyes narrowed, Setsuna approaches the window as well.]

You don't think this is in some sort of retaliation, do you? Something this destructive hasn't happened in a while. [His body tenses as meteorite smashes into the ground. Wings wouldn't last long.]

action;

[indecent_butterfly]

[Ne doesn't say anything at his approach but does step aside some. It's all a little too familiar for nir taste.]

After that little demonstration with one of their own you could question the potential?

video;

[subecho]

It gives flight some misfortunes.

video;

[indecent_butterfly]

The giant falling rocks do not?

video;

[subecho]

Those... you swerve by.

video;

[indecent_butterfly]

And all the smaller ones that break off? Not so easy to swerve past depending upon wing span.

video;

[subecho]

What wing?

video;

[indecent_butterfly]

You fly without?

video;

[subecho]

You fly with?

video;

[indecent_butterfly]

There are easier ways to travel, but if One does fly then, yes.

[Ne'll even be so kind as to show him, after stepping away from the furniture. ]

action;

[beyourarmy]

[One hand goes to the glass, flat against it, while Setsuna's expression contorts in the reflection.]

So, punish the whole for the actions of a few? It's sick. We can't get away from this bullshit, even in another world! [It was one of the few reasons he hadn't acted too rash up until then - feeling free of God's supposed righteousness.]

action;

[indecent_butterfly]

How better to make sure you get all involved? Collateral damage happens and sends a warning to any who have not joined sides.

[A sound tactic actually to demoralize those who have chosen sides as well.]

Then again, who is to say this is not the rebellion's fault? If they may provide trades the same why not destruction?

action;

[beyourarmy]

[He slumps against the glass.]

I don't know. It's hard to say with people that hide their faces like that. We don't even know if anything they say is true. They might not be trying to help us at all.

[confined_to_briah]

( Alexiel is a dark shape moving from window to window without making a sound. It's quite the show, isn't it, Hatter? Her blood is boiling at the chance of entering the chaos, but she has some self-control. Some. )

No shield would hold up against that.

action;

[indecent_butterfly]

All are selfish in their way; very few are out to help any but themselves. It is the way of the world.

[Ne looks at him with a smile though.]

There are those who are different however.

( Action )

[indecent_butterfly]

[So it was a good thing ne prepared tea earlier just in case. Ne goes to pour a cup and returns to offer it to the pacing angel.]

Shield, wings or body.

( Action )

[confined_to_briah]

That doesn't make it any less alluring. ( She places a gloved hand on the window, curling her fingers. ) Hatter, when did you become a protector of angels?

( Action )

[indecent_butterfly]

[The day ne arrived in the City and Kira stood in Lucifer's place.]

Are there any here? You wear the mark as well as any other and are far closer in kind to those who reside in hell than heaven.

( Action )

[confined_to_briah]

Heaven is changing. ( For the better. ) I admit Setsuna is closer to the mark than I am, but - ( It's still coexistence on some level. )

( Action )

[indecent_butterfly]

One has yet to see those changes.

[Ah...that one.]

As for Setsuna, he is...Setsuna. [As if that explains everything. And it probably should.] And confusing.

( Action )

[confined_to_briah]

You will. ( Unquestionable certainty. ) As opposed to me?

( Action )

[indecent_butterfly]

[Nir first conversation with Setsuna upon arrival promised nem that, or at least that ne'd see nir Lord again--priorities after all.

And ne's just going to sip at nir tea to think about that one.]

That you are not confusing or that he is not you? We are all what our lives have brought us to be. You may be a part of him, but he is still himself.

action;

[beyourarmy]

[Funny, as Setsuna's thinking, yeah, he is pretty selfish. Everything he did was for Sara, then for his desires to save the world that gave him birth. Even when he was being used by Lucifer and Alexiel - he knew - he allowed it because it helped him.]

You're right. But even if that's true, it doesn't excuse the causalities. [Zaphkiel and Sara taught him that.] Are they taking responsibility for the consequences?

action;

[indecent_butterfly]

Who? Neither side things they are wrong so the other side must be. It is the other sides fault for not relenting.

action;

[beyourarmy]

They're both wrong. [Sigh.]

action;

[indecent_butterfly]

Neither side is going to admit that, even when things are said and done the one will still claim it was all for the greater good--their greater good.

[Sorry Setsuna but it is the way of war. Sucks don't it?]

action;

[beyourarmy]

[He just looks disgusted for a second, then pulls away from the window.]

You're right, of course. Let's just hope something decent comes out all of this, or we at least get a good opening to go after the Deities.
