Now, now mun. I would have thought you'd have more dedication to your commitments outside. Don't you already have enough on your plate? I should certainly hope you'll show much more dedication than that to me.

Oh well. It's nice to be let out after all these years, at least.

I do hope I'll see you around the memes Angel. My mun told me you have an explosive personality.

[screaminglullaby]

[angel...?] What an odd description! I'm only looking for the beauty in life, I'd like to think I'm much calmer in person.

He more or less wants to see Kimbley react to the fact his alchemy won't quite work on him xD

[one_winged_demon]

Maybe you do. I won't judge until I know for sure.

If you do want to give me a fireworks demonstration at least try not to ruin my shirt. I don't have a comfortable military position like you Angel so I'm stuck paying for that out of pocket.

Oh, I haven't been in the military for quite a while now. [an invitation! well, he's never been one to shy away from action.]

[kimbley clasps his palms together, then puts them on the ground in order to send an explosion marctavious's way. because that's probably what he meant by demonstration, right??

he then stands up again, adjusts his hat, and seems to be thinking. perhaps trying to judge how beautiful this explosion was.]

[one_winged_demon]

[Oddly enough this time it was. The explosion itself would go off without a hitch. However when the dust cleared Marctavious stood there in tattered, bloodied clothes. However he was no worse for wear and seemed more irritated than anything.]

Angel you really should be more careful with that. Look, you ruined my shirt. I figured you would just go for my legs or something.

A homunculus, I presume?

[one_winged_demon]

[Oh now Kimbley was catching his attention. The curious sort always did.]

No not a Homunculus. I'm not even from your world. If I was I would of just used alchemy to put my shirt back together. You guys do have it easy when it comes to things like that.

[screaminglullaby]

That's still quite an ability, even if it did take away from my art. You seem to know so much about me and my world but I know so little about you. Who are you?

[one_winged_demon]

That's only because of my mun. If we were in a game together I'd be flying blind.

My name is Marctavious. To answer one of your questions I'm what's called an Abian, but that isn't why I survived that blast.

[screaminglullaby]

I should hope so! I don't like being blindsided, although my reputation often precedes me in my own world as well.

Oh? How did you, then?

[one_winged_demon]

The only answer you're getting for free is that I'm enlightened.

Anything more than that is going to cost you a lot more than you're likely willing to give Angel.

[screaminglullaby]

Equivalent exchange. I can understand that, my world works the same as well. Hypothetically speaking, what is the cost of your information?

[one_winged_demon]

[He had to think on that.]

In exchange...it would probably depend on where we were. Wouldn't be much use in this place where you will forget everything when going into a game or going back home. Likely a favor I could collect at any time and ask you to do anything short of hurting yourself more than necessary.

For that favor I will show you down the path of enlightenment. It won't be an easy process though. This part is probably more the one you wouldn't be willing to give. Any sociopath would do what I asked for power, but enlightenment involves trials that are far more taxing no matter your moral compass.

[screaminglullaby]

Well... It's certainly an interesting offer. One to keep in the back pocket, I think. It's not yet time to walk down the path of enlightenment.

Power is such a petty goal. Tell me, were these the terms of your arrangement as well?

[one_winged_demon]

No I had to find the path myself. It's a hard road and not many people do it because of the mystery behind it. The secrecy is necessary though rather than just some defense mechanism against everyone having the power.

If I tried to hand it over to you on a silver platter it wouldn't work even if I wanted to.

It's a path that is fairly unique to Abians, but humans can do it. I've tested that theory out already.

[screaminglullaby]

Nothing worthwhile is ever really handed out on a silver platter. Equivalent exchange, as I said earlier. Why did you decide to seek this difficult path?

Don't worry about me. I've found my own form of enlightenment, for now.
