009 - Reaper of My Evening Song - Video

[worldofourown]

Ah. I remember this.

[Karl is seated on the floor of his cell. Book in his lap, idly stirring through it with a fingertip. His face is replete with a Good-Times satisfaction.]

What a splendid evening that was. Full of blood and flame. Diva and I laughed ourselves sick over it afterward.

[A chilling laugh.]

You know, she told me a little secret. She said, for a boy who didn't want it, he was dreadfully eager for it...

[And, smile fixed, he returns to his book. Sick bastard.]


[OOC: Karl's cursed with Memory Theater. He's recalling he and his Queen, Diva, massacred everyone aboard a ship. After which Diva proceeded to rape and kill Saya's adoptive brother. Who, FYI, was 12 years old. Suffice it to say, it was quite the Moral Event Horizon :\]

To which grand scheme do you refer?

[worldofourown]

Brother Amshel's and Diva's, of course.

[As if that isn't the most obvious thing in Karl's the world.]

[whithersoevergo]

Ah. That one. [The one that failed.]

[Switches to 'Private' at Sol's nagging insistence. Just to make Hagi look bad xD]

Whichever other one would I speak of?

Private

[whithersoevergo]

I thought it might be your continued failed attempts to make Saya in Diva's image.

Private

[worldofourown]

In her 'image'?

[He actually cracks up.]

They are one and the same, my Saya and Diva. Sisters in blood and destruction. No matter how many times you wish to believe Saya is human, she is not. She may look it, in appearance. But inside she is nothing but pure bloodthirsty instinct.

[A smirk.]

You saw that in Vietnam. You saw it again, in the City.

Private

[whithersoevergo]

That is not Saya. That was the result of external interference.

Private

[worldofourown]

Externalities that allowed her true self to be unleashed.

...

Instinct never lies. Saya is a monster, just as Diva and I are. Nothing can change that.

Private

[whithersoevergo]

External forces that took away her will. We are all more than creatures of pure instinct. We are not animals.

Private

[worldofourown]

[You walked right into that one, sweet Hagi.]

Oh? But we're not human either, are we?

Private

[whithersoevergo]

We have much in common with them, but no, we are not human. I never said we were.

Private

[worldofourown]

The only thing we've in common with them is the fact that they're prey.

Go without blood, long enough, and you'll learn that quickly.

[And he'd so love to watch it happen.]
