[daddyscythe]

Characters: OPEN
Where: Inside Shibusen - The Tour
Rating: Gen
Time: March 1 onwards
Description: Welcome to Death City! Ignore the sand.



It’s one of those days when the BREW starts making the weird energy readings it gives when about to pull people into Death City. Shibusen prepares the place as usual, setting up their tables, the communicators, and calling for the agents who kindly volunteered every time this happened.

Just before the BREW starts, however, a cloud of sand rolls over the city and covers it in darkness, dust, and wind, going high enough to envelop even Shibusen on top of its normally safe location overlooking the city. The alarms go out, the residents quickly retreat to shelter, and Shibusen...

Needless to say, Shibusen isn’t happy about this, and resignedly prepares the dorms instead.



ooc: Player characters will also be joining the log. Everything after the sub thread Dormitories is open to all characters, and people are free to make their own threads. Please put a header on it: [NAME][LOCATION][OPEN/CLOSE]

Hm. That was an interesting way to put it. He had to think about that for a moment before he answered.

"I suppose one could view it that way, but it would be impossible. First of all, kishin eggs are not actually species. It is what we call those who have taken the life of innocents and absorbed their souls to increase their own power. We also call this as following the path to become kishin. If enough souls are absorbed, the original soul will become so corrupted that the individual will devolve into a completely other creature and seek only to kill to obtain more power. But anyone can become a kishin egg. Thus rather than try to eliminate some kind of species, we are trying to prevent them from evolving into a powerful being that could destroy the world."

"So they're only eggs in a metaphorical sense, then." That explanation actually put much of her misgivings at ease. But it did raise another question.

"If it's truly impossible, as you claim, then how do you plan to win this war?" It was one thing to aid a noble cause. It was something else entirely to fight a war without end.

[perfectorder]

"The only reason why it is impossible is because there will always be someone who will try to seek the power of Madness. I wish it were otherwise, but that is the reality of human nature. In that sense, kishin eggs are in some ways part of the natural balance of this world. They are the evil that counteracts the good."

"However," he continued. "This war is not necessarily just against the kishin eggs. It is more against the witches and the kishin Asura. They are a more powerful, destructive force that is influencing the destruction and chaos that breaks the balance and order of this world. Asura must be destroyed for as the kishin he is the one producing the Madness wavelength. We fight against the witches because they support and aid the kishin and also seek power over this world. Without them, there would be more peace and significantly less number of people turning into kishin eggs."

Kid paused for a moment. How else could he put it?

"Think of the kishin eggs more like the foot soldiers while the witches and Asura are the actual leaders. Though I suppose Asura is more like the core of a virus."

[chozenhunter]

"So your claim is that there will always be evil in the world. You just aim to balance it." This level of metaphorical speech was starting to sound like the Chozo again. In some part of her mind, she started to wonder if it was their fault somehow. Again.

"And the overall plan is defeat the leaders, these witches, and destroy Asura before it causes any more trouble. Correct?"

[perfectorder]

"Basically, yes."

There was of course a little more to it, but there was a little more to these sorts of things.

[chozenhunter]

She nodded. "Understood. No further questions at this time."

And that was all there was to it; she was on another mission. True, this was was... on the unusual side of things, so to speak, but it was a mission nonetheless. And it was a necessary barrier to overcome between her and reporting the results of her previous mission to the Galactic Federation.

"Then I hope you enjoy the rest of the tour and hopefully the dorm rooms will be accommodating at least for the night until the sandstorm passes," Kid said with a nod. "Take care."
