WEEDS

[You're in your barn! That doesn't seem so bad--oh, oh wait, you're in the air.

Your barn/clubhouse, and honestly some of your stuff, is just floating on clouds. You can walk on the clouds too if you want, no one's stopping you. You will not, however, be able to return to the ground, far, far below you, no matter what you do.

At least not til the Ritual is complete.

Floating among everything else are various crystalized weeds, and the Snake as well, who seems to have fallen into a deep sleep.

After a moment, you hear voices resonating from the crystal weeds--the holy beasts, their voices and minds melded as one, call out to you.

It asks you three simple questions.]

[ Faith is here, though she seems to be just chilling off to the side and eying the Snake with concern.

it seems she doesn't have much input . . . for now.

One last chance to bring about more despair.

And I'm taking it!

...I would never regret time spent causing despair.

So, no! If anything, I regret not being here longer to cause more of it!

[huffs]

To start with, it's pretty funny to ask the Great Transgressor if outcasts should be cast aside.

Of course not. Well, I suppose fewer opinions will make it easier to settle on answers...

My answers would be "no" to the first one and "nothing in life is fair; that's simply life" for the second one.

[ A surprised blink, then brings a hand to her mouth and considers that for a few moments. ]

... Hm. Perhaps our reponses would be quite unanimous, after all.

Heh.

[more seriously]

People think if they can just find the people who're bad and dangerous and make 'em disappear, then everythin' will be safe. But it ain't that easy. Everyone can be dangerous. But people're too scared to say that, 'cause they wanna make sure everyone thinks they're one o' the good ones.

Save for one or two, perhaps.

But we can overrule them.

Well, I do think it's natural to retaliate against those who actively threaten you... But I'm not convinced that picking outcasts really has anything to do with staying safe, deep down. People just want convenient targets.

'Course there's that too. But people like to justify it to themselves so they feel righteous.

Let's find out.

Do we cast out the outcasts, leave them to grow resentful, and desire revenge... or let them stay, and accept whatever danger they represent?

[personal profile] despair_to_live 2024-10-25 06:00 am (UTC)(link)
Why so scared? Is it because the magic statue is gone?

I hated that fucking thing. Good riddance.

I'm kinda known for bein' the king of the outcasts, y'know. I'm where people go when the whole world decides they're too dangerous.
