"I must get rid of all those that stand in the way of my research. Even that one from the Turks.
"I scientifically altered him, and put him to sleep in the basement. If you want to find him, then search the area.
"But this is merely a game I thought of. It is not necessary to participate if you don't want to."

Is it not familiar?

Mmm no, not really.

(OOC; Rikku is sad that her soul-twin stole her label. D:)

[a_failed_god]

For some more than others, perhaps. This is a little before your time.

[ooc: OHSHI -- I'll fix that right away. D:]

[calamitousness]

Seems like a lot of things are.

(OOC; LOLSHI-- I was just giving you a hard time. ♥)

Game? Game. Game. Always been a game. Always, always. There is no never in your ever, and the coffin.

The coffin. It was better suited with a padlock, because. Because even in the ground, even in the soil, do you really think

do you really

believe

that I would have stayed? It was either dirt that was to be jammed beneath my fingernails, or blood and wood and bruised knuckles, and you

have injected the mirror of your memories into my head until I am unable to forget them.

But it's all right, because. For as long as you exist, and for as long as there is still a little bit of a desire in me that wants to

kill you

because it would be perfect, nothing else nothing ever else, and until then until then you know that

I cannot fade.

Is it frightening, Vincent, to be so incapacitated? To be so incapable of articulating? Is your tongue thick in your mouth? Are your hands sluggish? It's a natural reaction to the process. Your control is degenerating, and its will is blending into your own.

You were never supposed to stay there, Valentine. Frankly, you were overdue for your awakening when it did come, but I suppose my game was perhaps a little too difficult for most. A little obscure. I do have a habit of expecting too much from others; one of those unfortunate little drawbacks to a superior intelligence. Of course, this all means nothing to you, I'm sure. All those memories are flushed away. A near-clean slate, and fresh with the same hate you retained upon your first emergence.

Would you like the truth?

I was waiting for you

Private//Unhackable. no, you ): <333

[foreswear]

Not frightening. Sedated, and not caring. It claws and it waits and it rests, and I

Private//Unhackable. No you first. :( <333

[a_failed_god]

Excellent. It must be advanced, to bring you to that emotive stage. To feel nothing of the dread you once held for the release of your demons.

You, Valentine?

... Of course. No memory of the last time you tried, and hence no memory of your failure. I can assure you; there is little you can do now to change the course of your fate. Thankfully, it matters rather little if you do kill me. A small loss, when I have you this close to where I want you.

Perhaps it's that strength you draw, the strength of It. It's evidently close to the surface. Undoubtedly, Its hunger is feeding into your lucidity. I sorely doubt you would otherwise find it in you to do as you claim you shall, would find that desire to do it.

Consume me, then. Devour me as you will. What was that... ah, I remember.

My beloved is mine, and I am his: he feedeth among the lilies.

An interesting piece of prose.

I opened to my beloved; but my beloved had withdrawn himself, and was gone: my soul failed when he spake: I sought him, but I could not find him; I called him,

[virtualunknown]

Not really, but I take it some things never change?

[a_failed_god]

I am nothing if not consistent, Makubex.

Thank you for the charming gifts, I might add.

[virtualunknown]

Consistent or obsessive?

...right, no problem.

[covert_chord]

Nothing stands in the way of "research", then. Tell me, what joy do you get out of this all?

[a_failed_god]

The joy that can only be wrought from expanding one's knowledge, naturally.

What joy is there to have from suppressing it?

... riku is apprehensive. AND HE WANTS HIS LITTLE BROTHER BACK KTHNX

[walktodawn]

... interesting quote.

Ohshi! Hojo needs to be far less obvious about these things.

[a_failed_god]

Is it not? These are the dangers of the science you pursue, Riku. In a world like this, you can see many maddening things.

But science is always necessary for advance.

aw, but that's never any fun. ):

[walktodawn]

They'd be maddening if I wasn't practically on that level of sanity myself.

There's no lie about that.
