The loss of life should always be taken seriously.

to_turn_away March 14 2009, 03:02:33 UTC

And yet you do not say, "The loss of life should be prevented."

kirinofen March 14 2009, 03:05:43 UTC

Of course it should be prevented, too! But we don't have any power in this place to accomplish that half the time. If a curse is going to kill you then it does no matter what you try to do.

At least at home I could prevent it. But here I'm powerless.

Would you willingly succumb to it, then, if your turn arrives while knowing that it is inevitable?

2/2 to_turn_away March 14 2009, 03:10:51 UTC

What power do you wield whence you came?

1/2 kirinofen March 14 2009, 03:16:54 UTC

N-No! I wouldn't! It'd take a lot for it to kill me anyway!

A position where I can help make a peaceful and war free kingdom. I help rule it alongside the king. With a good king, no one has to die needlessly.

reginagloriae March 14 2009, 03:34:45 UTC

He's right. That's how it works in any of the twelve kingdoms.

It works except when the ruler loses their way, and that's bad news for everyone.

Isn't it the case in any world, woman? Once a ruler goes astray, the entire country plummets into chaos.

2/2 to_turn_away March 14 2009, 10:09:37 UTC

So you and he come from the same place?

1/2 reginagloriae March 14 2009, 16:28:49 UTC

I don't think you get it... It was hard to realize the difference in the beginning to me too. As long a good ruler sits on the throne, there wouldn't be natural disasters, youma wouldn't attack people, the kingdom will prosper in a literal way.

2/2 reginagloriae March 14 2009, 16:30:06 UTC

Yeah, same both worlds. We're from a different kingdom. He's from En and I'm from Kei and we were born in Japan... We got back to where we belong.

to_turn_away March 15 2009, 00:39:13 UTC

If you had specified that that was the case, it would have been easy enough to understand.

A ruler from that world is able to hold the forces of nature in his sway?

reginagloriae March 15 2009, 02:38:22 UTC

I guess Enki has already explained it. He knows more than I do. There's a lot of stuff I don't get by that world like how is enough for a ruler to simply sit on the throne and Heaven will smile on the kingdom. That bunch of things were unheard of in Earth.

...I don't know. I guess nature will reflect their hearts, huh? Because a ruler and the kingdom become one and the same.

It's not as easy as it sounds. The Emperor and the bureaucracy of their Court sometimes aren't a big happy family.

to_turn_away March 15 2009, 02:54:10 UTC

Of course. The gods are not as kind in Japan . . . unless corruption runs that deep, and why all rule ends in chaos.

Politics are never as simple and straightforward as that. That sounds like a miracle enough; however, there must be some fine print--clarified by what you have said.

reginagloriae March 15 2009, 03:10:33 UTC

I guess in Japan men choose their rulers. In a way or another. Not gods. Tentei must have made both systems to see which one turns up better in the end.

You don't magically get to know what to do as ruler. It's not that there's a manual of how to not stink as King.
