Just for fun: Random questions!

[warriorscribe]

((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 see. So you and your half-brother are working to help put an end to this destruction? That sounds like quite the task.

*And he can't blame him for having doubts about getting involved in something so dangerous. It must be scary for someone so young.*

[angelchild]

Not... exactly. My brother isn't working with me.

[Kind of the opposite.]

[warriorscribe]

...You can't mean to say he wants the wars to continue?

[angelchild]

It's not that. But we have a fundamental difference of opinion.

[warriorscribe]

Why couldn't you stop the worlds and then sort out this difference?

[angelchild]

Because we don't agree on how to do it.

wtf I mean WARS

[warriorscribe]

What do you mean? The key doesn't work the same way?

[angelchild]

It's complicated, but there are a few things you can do with the key.

[warriorscribe]

And what does he aim to do with it?

[angelchild]

He wants to clear out some of the more apocalyptic stuff but mostly leave the world as it is.

[warriorscribe]

*He's not liking the sound of this...*

That isn't what the angels want?

[angelchild]

No. We don't want such a large risk of everything just falling into the same state again.

[warriorscribe]

*Oh no...please, tell him this isn't...*

But isn't it up to us humans to find out how to find peace?

[angelchild]

They couldn't the first time.

[warriorscribe]

But part of being able to grow is being able to learn from your mistakes...

*He takes a deep breath. He's afraid to ask the question that will tell him whether or not this awful feeling is right...*

[angelchild]

I don't have that much faith in them.

[warriorscribe]

Why not? Surely a child of all people should be able to see that mistakes are the way we grow and learn...

[angelchild]

Sometimes you make too many for you to fix, and somebody else has to stop you.

[warriorscribe]

Yes, but once you are stopped, are you not then told that what you were doing was wrong?

[angelchild]

If you keep being told and you never, ever learn, when are you punished?

[warriorscribe]

When your parents punish you, do they take away what makes you yourself? Because that, if my fears are true, is what your God wants...

He's...sent you to take away free will, hasn't he?

*He hopes he's wrong. He really does.*

[angelchild]

In the new world... I think they won't be allowed a freedom like that.

[So yes.]

[warriorscribe]

Do you truly think this is the benevolent thing to do? To take away what defines us as human?

[angelchild]

I believe it.

[He sticks his chin up, defiant. No matter what Enoch says, his mind won't be changed.]

[warriorscribe]

Tell me, why do you believe it? Why do you think humans should be stripped of their humanity?

*He's only a child...were he an adult, Enoch would have simply walked away. He would have been angry. Instead, he feels he has to rescue this child.*
