[ the view is one from the ground, skewed slightly and tilted, and it shows a gray sky and-- a figure. very slender, in a black suit, it's an older man, his face thin and lined, his pitch-black hair slicked back. there's a black cane with a silver handle hooked in the crook of his arm, and with a patient gesture, he adjusts one of his cufflinks,

Yes, well, Canada isn't my favourite of Earth's nations, but it does have its occasional charm.

[needtobecleaned]

At least it is a familiar planet. Perhaps you will find more here to interest you than it previously did.

[Video]

[comeshonesty]

All planets are as familiar to me as Earth. Still, one would hope that it won't be dull.

[needtobecleaned]

Hm.

[She nods after a moment.]

[That's her universal justification.]

[She denies everything.]

[comeshonesty]

Indeed. With a soul like that, it's to be expected.

[ something faintly amused flickers through his gaze briefly, then fades into his usual calm. ]

I believe you'll find yourself surprised.

[Video]

[needtobecleaned]

A soul.

[Somewhere inside, Mary's will pushes ahead. Aware but not in control.]

Humans, and other beings, tend to be surprising.

[Video]

[comeshonesty]

A very particular soul.

.. Free will. They were created to be.

[needtobecleaned]

[Her eyes flicker to blue after a moment.]

Their wills are strong. Stronger than they used to be.

[comeshonesty]

I find they change little over the centuries. It's the environment around them that brings out certain elements.
