Just for fun: Random questions!

((So ask a question, or name a topic or issue, and you'll get a response from Enoch! IC, OOC, anon, whatever floats your boat. Real life hot-button issues, random questions about the ancient past, silly mundane questions, TMI questions, meta questions (about the fandom or otherwise), game-specific questions, it's all good!))

I might throw a million people later, but for now here's Michael's kid.

[angelchild]

What do you think about other worlds?

[warriorscribe]

Other worlds? That's a broad topic. I don't know if you mean anything in particular, but I'm fascinated by them in general, all their differences and similarities.

[angelchild]

All right. What about other worlds' Heavens, to start with?

[warriorscribe]

I'm afraid I don't know much about other worlds' Heavens. I've heard of worlds with a terrible, tyrannical God. I can't imagine what those Heavens must be like.

[angelchild]

They're lying.

[This is said too quickly and with too much conviction to come from anything but a small child.]

[warriorscribe]

I thought so too, little one. I thought so too. There was simply too much evidence to ignore. No reason for too many of them to lie.

I know it's distressing. But we can rest assured that our Heavens aren't like that.

[angelchild]

But Father says that demons are liars by nature.

[SMT Michael is not exactly an unbiased opinion. But try telling Nagahisa that.]

[scentofmakai]

Do you believe in a thing called a 'mercy kill', Uncle?

[warriorscribe]

*From the expression on his face, he does but doesn't like it.*

...I have already performed one. When Jason mutilated everyone, I bested a young woman who came after me, but she was severely crippled. I couldn't leave her like that, but healing her would only cause her to become a danger to everyone again.

[scentofmakai]

That fits the definition. It's kind of hard to pin down, though. A mercy kill requires someone's living state to be worse than death, and I've known people who would argue that no such thing exists.

I think they're wrong, though.

[warriorscribe]

I think...such states are very specific and very few. But they do exist.

*Clearly those people have never been skinned alive. Twice.*

[scentofmakai]

[Stop getting into trouble, Uncle.]

There's some things I'd want people to kill me if they ever happened, but I don't know if I have the right to decide that for other people.

[warriorscribe]

*It's okay, Animus will be over soon. Then he can get into trouble in Hinoto-Ri*

You don't, normally. If they are in no condition to tell you, however...that is when you must use your own judgment.

I will not throw EVERY Devil Children muse I have at you

[devilgirl]

Does it ever seem weird to you that you're - however old you are - and you look like you're maybe early twenties?

I wouldn't even mind if you did. Now with less misfiring.

[warriorscribe]

"Weird". *He seems to find that...funny, in a sort of not-actually-amused way.*

At first, it was disturbing, and part of the greater burden of immortality...then it became a nuisance...and then just another part of my life. There are worse aspects of immortality.

[devilgirl]

You're not at a bad age to get stuck at, though. People take you seriously when you look twenty-something. Not when you're twenty and you look ten. [Grumble, grumble.]

Papa says I'll probably still grow, just slowly, but it's taking forever.

[warriorscribe]

Some people simply look young for their age. Although I admit I've never seen a case like yours.

*He'd even thought she was ten until she said that. That was...certainly something. He'll just deflect the awkwardness with a little joke.*

But be thankful you'll never likely be two hundred and forced to act as if you are junior to a man of sixty.

[devilgirl]

If I get to two hundred I won't let anybody boss me around, especially not if they're sixty. I don't let people boss me around now.

[warriorscribe]

*...Okay, he likes this person.*

Ideally, you won't be in a situation that requires you to keep a low profile, either. I wouldn't have stood for it myself if it wouldn't draw attention to me.

oh whatever I have this account too

[devilchild]

What's living in Heaven like? What do you spend a day doing?

I know it's not the same as my world's Heaven, but it's still probably interesting.

[warriorscribe]

I don't recall very much, but apparently most of my day was spent transcribing what I did and saw for the rest of the day, and Heaven responds to your thoughts. The example I've heard was I created clothes for myself when I needed them.

[devilchild]

You don't remember when you were in Heaven? Wouldn't something like that be hard to forget?

...Well, I guess you are pretty old...

[warriorscribe]

*Excuse you he literally can't go senile.*

Do you think you could remember more than the most basic things about a place you lived three hundred years ago?

[devilchild]

I don't know, I'm not that old yet. Maybe.

[Hmmmph.]

[warriorscribe]

So you're an immortal yourself, then? *Or is that just childish imagination? At this point he's assuming nothing.*
