Seriously, again?

... At least it's not nearly as awkward as last time. I can pull this off just fine.

Although... um, Riku? This is going to be uh... interesting, wouldn't you say?

lol Warren's just pissed about the wings, not the boobs.

[dark_hierophant]

These gods certainly have their fun, don't they?

it's amusing either way. XD

[lucis_fatum]

Yeah, they do. Can't really blame them for it, though. Everything would be boring here if it wasn't for this stuff.

It is. Sumbitch.

[dark_hierophant]

Oh, of course. Explosions, laughing murderers, monsters, spirits, schoolhouses of unimaginable torment and a hospital nobody uses and yet they will not tell me why.

This place is just abysmally dull.

[lucis_fatum]

Well... things like that I'm sort of... used to. I know I probably shouldn't be, but I've seen a lot of things in the past few years.

[dark_hierophant]

I had a similar life, as an adventurer.

One sees strange and frightening things over the course of a half century of wandering the world.

[lucis_fatum]

Wow. You must've seen a lot worse than I have if you were traveling that long.

[dark_hierophant]

I have seen entire cities consumed by swarming undead and I have also seen powerful beings that would strike down even the mightiest mortal. After my stint as an adventurer was over, I was chosen as high priest, and then eventually honored as a hierophant for Darkness.

I then spent the next sixty years conquering the continent in my Queen's name.

yeah, Kairi is definitely wondering about the age here. XD

[lucis_fatum]

...

You win. What I've seen is nothing compared to that.

Re: yeah, Kairi is definitely wondering about the age here. XD

[dark_hierophant]

One does see plenty after a hundred and fifty years of life.

and that just answered her question. XD

[lucis_fatum]

Are you uh... immortal or something?

Warren's good like that.

[dark_hierophant]

...No? I am very mortal.

I simply have a long lifespan. I age at about one tenth the rate of a human, making my lifespan about a thousand years long. Maybe as long as one thousand two hundred years.

[lucis_fatum]

Oh... So you're still pretty young then, when you consider it like that.

[dark_hierophant]

Contextually, I am only about as old as Max or that Claire girl.

However, my mind still matures at a normal human rate, since I am mostly human.

That, in turn, accounts for how I achieved such powerful magic in what is, by comparison, a relatively short life.

[lucis_fatum]

Heh, Claire's pretty popular around here, isn't she? I actually live with her.

But you know, that kind of gets me thinking... wouldn't it just get boring? Living for that long, I mean.

[dark_hierophant]

I suppose. But I am a spellcaster. There are always new magical secrets to discover, new items that have not been created yet, new spells awaiting eager hands to research them. I had my laboratory, my Goddess and war to keep me occupied.

[lucis_fatum]

It does sound fun, I guess. Minus the war bit, anyway.
