"A buddha." It wasn't the only possibly answer, but it was the most obvious one to think about. That she said she could kill things that never came back fit. The ending of the cycle of incarnations made sense within it. Although, in retrospect, it also made the least sense to want to have a vessel for... unless someone wanted to take something from it? It was strange. It was obvious she was a vessel. Lucid mentioned it before when she said she could store a copy of her for future use. The purpose of it however, was significantly less clear. The curious part of her wanted to know more. The rest of her knew better than to ask. Lucid had been volunteering information the whole time. She'd find out in due time, whether she wanted to or not. But, she still had to ask one thing. "I don't suppose telling me about all this is also fulfilling your objectives in some way." |

Lucid smiled. Right on the money! Misae's guess was imperfectly perfect, and so the fool would acknowledge the truth with a slight chuckle. The identity of the particular person and the real reason why she was raised this way were known to her and her alone. Those facts, out of all the things she knew, was the only things she chose to hide out of her own will. "It was 'gravity'. I was born with a Nirvana-like power. And so, things turned out this way." She said with a small shrug, almost proud of what had become of her. "As my friend and my roomie, I figured you should know this. That's all." There wasn't some grand plan behind it. Just small talk, really. "After all, I had been asking so much about you that it'd be fair to go ahead and volunteer something. Want to ask more, or should I keep on swabbing your soul for more clues?" |

"I see." She didn't comment on that. There was no need to. That one exchange highlighted the difference in worldview between the pair about as well as any analysis. Lucid considered her a friend. Misae wasn't even sure if she counted anyone as that. Probably even the ideas behind feeling emotion were different. It was ironic that her sense of empathy was the very reason for her detachment - despite feeling and understanding them, it was much harder to get worked up when you classified them by a frequency range on the dynamic H-wave spectrum. That is, 'not in a way humans normally ever understood.' "Well, don't feel compelled to do anything on my account. I am decidedly less than thrilled someone would take interest in my soul, but I suppose things happen." |

"Oh, I'm not a door to door evangelist. I just happen to think that jamming your soul in my heart would be preferable. Your body's good and all, but I'm a failsafe." Who would suspect her of doing something nice for somebody? Nobody, that's who! She had built up a reputation of being a careless, callous whirlwind of nonsense. And really, that was close to the truth of who she was. "Friends keep each other alive, often through horrible, unethical means!" She laughed. "So even if you beg to die, I'll just keep you around until you change your mind and want to live. That's the beauty of friendship!" That's just who they were: An elegant woman with an altered sense of empathy, and a empty girl who distinctly lacked sense. If Lucid even had a fifth of the heart Misae did, and that wasn't even talking about much, she'd be a lot easier to deal with. "Nobody knows exactly when their time is fated to run out. I mean, given that there's so many ways for life extension and coming back from the dead, the date for reaching the real end of the line is so very uncertain. Isn't it nice to make sure somebody enjoys the train ride all the way to the truly final stop?" In her own weird way, Lucid wanted the best for those she considered friends. She wasn't afraid to let Misae know that, too. |

"There was actually someone who thought to make sure he made it all the way to the end. Once. A long time ago." There were several, actually. But of those, one stood out as almost succeeding. That one had ended with a bloody mess in yet another Japanese town, and one of her predecessors had to go clean it up afterward. "Regardless, as I said. I'm not interested in such things. If the performance is lacking, I shan't trouble others with an encore. I've said as much before." Edited by Katyusha, Jun 24 2014, 01:08 PM.

"Well yes, but he's a disgrace to your family. And he failed to do it right. I'm not offering failure, you know. Just something two feet to the side." Lucid put her hands on the table. "It's not an encore, it's just a remix. Up-tempo, lower pitch, loop a few times and done! No dubstep anywhere, zehaha~!" She drummed her fingers on the counter, a simple beat that seemed both lively and twisted at once. "You just have to say yes. But if you don't trust me to grab your soul and run it to the end like Herschel Walker, then trust me to bring it somewhere safe and nice. I'm wondering how being pampered to the end of time would affect your personality, really." Her offer, as weird as it was, seemed about as sincere as a soulless crazy assassin could manage. |

"Actually that particular one wasn't in the family. The scion of Oberon dishonoured himself for a different reason." It was actually a church inquisitor, of all things. That bloody mess had been covered up pretty well after the fact, but the mess it brought to the association and church was still a simmering cause of conflict among their field agents. "In anycase, as I said. I have no interest in protecting my soul in such a way. I do have my reasons." |

"Oh, huh. I keep on mistaking things. Lucid shrugged, thinking of a met- Oh, wait. I should stop narrating things I do." The fool tilted her head, curious at how they can move past this impasse. Oh, hey. Right, there was another topic. "Well, you don't feel like protecting your soul. So how about your genes? I mean, some people who deal with my people are looking for nice samples. If you don't feel like living a second time, then let your clones be a thing!" She giggled. "Your Hymnos knowledge can go unstolen, you do whatever it is you'll do after you die, and we get our own Misaes. They're not you, so you don't have to worry about them~" Commercialization of people was her bosses' thing. Her friends were not exempt from that. |

"Normally I don't like having to fight people without a reason. I would appreciate if you stopped trying to give me one." There was a hint of vexation in the voice as she sipped her cup. Not enough to change her expression, nor enough to significantly alter her tone, but just enough to express a mild hint that she was growing weary of it. |

"Oooh? So you are getting mad." Lucid tapped her chin. "Interesting. I guess she was right, we are sort of like a virus." At that moment, it didn't seem like the fool was thinking about Misae when it came to that declaration. But without elaborating, she just shrugged it off and stirred her tea a little more. "I suppose that I should make it up to you. Scarlett always did say that I had to be courteous every so often so people would assume I was actually nice deep down inside." She giggled. "How about I treat you to dinner, any place you want? And then I can talk about things that don't involve violating the boundaries between us, okay~?" |

"That would work better if you didn't announce it. In anycase, I'll pass. It's much less trouble to forget about it further." A faint sound interrupted her. The sound of cheerful pop music, slowly rising in volume. It took a moment for Misae to realise it was her cell phone. "Ah, Hello, Eltnam speaking." she answered, putting down the cup and gesturing to Lucid that her attention was kept for a moment. |

"Oh, okay then. I'll let you take your call." Lucid bobbed her head to the beat of Misae's ringtone as she sipped her tea. Of course, being that her friend was busy on the phone, her attention wandered to the window. She looked at the figure standing outside. The figure looked back. Oh, it was her. Lucid waved, then settled back down. Seemed like good ol' L. Bonaparte was here for a social visit. She had to wait, though. Misae came first. |

"Right now? ...I see. No, it's nothing of importance. Very well. I'll try to be there in twenty minutes. Yes, thank you." She hung up. It didn't need to be said. The matter was obviously something important enough that she had to attend to it personally. "Excuse me, I have to go for a bit." the magus said as she stood up "Kindly put the cups in the sink when you're done. I'll attend to cleaning them personally." |

"I will. Have a nice day, Misae!" Lucid waved cheerfully as she took the cups to the sink and set them down. Looking down into the empty cups for a few moments, the fool giggled and turned back to her friend. "Oh, one last thing. You're a lot more human than I thought you were. In the end, you'll fill me up one way or another. Sounds good, riiiight~?" |
