opus no. 2 [video]

[On screen we have a rather ragged and irritated-looking Austria. She's breathing heavily and glaring at the screen.]

I have found my way out of the Labyrinth. No thanks to any of those that coerced me into coming along.

[peachhat]

Sucks to be you, doesn't it? I guess you failed remembering your way properly. Well, typical for you people~

[pluckmygstring]

It was hardly my fault. Any given rock looks exactly the same, especially in the dark. [no, it's all her fault for being directionally challenged.]

[peachhat]

You can't tell rocks apart. Now that is truly pathetic.

[pluckmygstring]

[indignant Austrian huff]

You are quite rude.

[peachhat]

You're imagining things. I'm only being friendly, is this how you thank basic politeness?

[pluckmygstring]

You have a strange idea of the concept of being friendly. For most of us, being insulted is not a form of flattery.

[peachhat]

Oh, and here I thought being honest was how you should be.

[pluckmygstring]

Sometimes honesty is less valuable than tact.

[peachhat]

Ah, that may be true for humans, but since I'm not a human, that doesn't apply to me. As a holy being, honesty is clearly the more valuable trait.

It is as they say. [She starts to recite something] "Be honest like Heaven in conducting your affairs."

[pluckmygstring]

Immortality does not grant immunity to the rules of social conduct.

[peachhat]

No, but enlightenment does.

[pluckmygstring]

And what makes you so certain that you are enlightened, as you say?

[peachhat]

Because that's how you become a being like me, of course. Besides, I can prove it. I am so holy, my blood would be poison to demons.

[pluckmygstring]

You look like an ordinary human to me.

[peachhat]

Humans can't fly.

[She jumps backwards, as if jumping onto a chair behind her, and lands on...a floating rock that appears below her, on which she sits down.]

Nor can they summon keystones.

[pluckmygstring]

..Okay, impressive enough.
