He just moved in and I don't know what to do with him ;n;

[fatedprophet]

I have no desire to involve myself with garbage. I spent more than a year planning, and now you want to "do something" with me so that I can "figure things out"? No. Entertain yourself with someone else. No one wants to die. No one wants to know death and then come back from it, either.

And I have even less desire to see any of my replicas, especially not with as worthless as those two are.

If you must defy me, willful woman, then at least start by finding me a new pet and a world without the Score.

Replicas... don't tell me you're...!

[fatedprophet]

It's best to finish your statements as you make them.

[fontechnology]

Ah... heh... you're right, sorry about that! I guess I was just surprised to see you, that's all. You... sound pretty different from the Ion I know.

My name's Guy.

[fatedprophet]

I wouldn't be in the least bit surprised. Unless you're from far in the future, he'd have been very young. A child would not speak the same way I do. Though I have to wonder what he was like.

Would that be short for something?

[fontechnology]

Ion's a great kid. Has his head on straight, and makes good decisions... He might be a bit naïve, but that's par for the course too, I guess.

Yeah... Gailardia Galan. ( he'll leave out the gardios for now... )

[fatedprophet]

Very different from me, then. Tell me, Gailardia: what is the year for you?

[fontechnology]

( he's beginning to see that... ) ND 2018...

[fatedprophet]

[ Please don't expect him to be sweet and giving, Guy. It just won't work out. ] Two years... I wonder if the plan has reached fruition? [ The smallest smile on his lips, but it isn't... It's not a very pleasant one. Wistful but... not quite right. ]

[fontechnology]

( he stiffens at that... people in auldrant with plans generally didn't have good ones... ) Plan? What sort of plan?

[fatedprophet]

[ Something he notices. ] The one I shared with Van. If you haven't discovered it by now, you will soon enough.

[fontechnology]

Van?! Don't tell me... You can't be part of whatever he's planning to do! ( guy doesn't know all the specifics quite yet... but it's all pointing in one direction: not good )

[fatedprophet]

[ It's only "not good" if you're not theoretically broken and fed up. Sadly, Ion does not fall into this category, because he is very much fed up with the world. ] Why not? People are only garbage, clinging to the Score to guide their lives and doing nothing for themselves. Garbage needs to be burned to clear space for new life. [ His smile still hasn't faltered. ]

so late, sorry ;A;

[fontechnology]

Y -- you can't be serious! Human lives aren't just something you can throw away!

Is coo' bby. |D

[fatedprophet]

Why not? They're not living their lives--they're wasting them, addicted to the Score and following it blindly. It corrals them like animals and they think nothing of it. They've already thrown away their lives. We're just going to clear the space.

:>

[fontechnology]

There's no way you can really believe that, that's crazy! There might be some people that take it to an extreme, but that doesn't mean they deserve to die!

[fatedprophet]

Shut up. You don't understand anything. But that's alright. You don't need to...

[fontechnology]

We're not going to just stand by and watch this happen... we're going to put an end to it. No one else needs to die!

Welp, bitter bitter bitter.

[fatedprophet]

What are you going to do about it? Are you going to preach against the Score? Are you going to change the people who throw their empty selves at my feet or my replica's because they can't pick out their clothes for the day without it? Tell me what you plan to do and tell me it'll change anything. The world of the Score is trashed, littered with filthy lives. It must be purged. If they don't value their lives, they don't deserve to have them.

wow ion... you definitely make it hard between you and your replicas... not

[fontechnology]

That's not for you to decide!

( he closes his eyes for a moment and cues some inspirational music in the background ) Sure, people live their lives differently... And maybe some of them do rely on the Score too much... but if you just eliminiate them that doesn't even give them the chance to show they can live otherwise! People can change... as long as they have the opportunity to.

ikr? so hard

[fatedprophet]

[ Man, your musical taste is inspiring And the boy merely laughs. It twists somewhere, leaves an ill-sort of feeling in its wake. Just another thing that's wrong about him. Kid just needs a good hard slap and a hug, man. ]

Isn't it? None of you truly understand the Score. No one will change. They'll still be bound to the Score, still be channeled through one path because it's there to depend on. They cling to the Score because they can never know any better, because the Score clings to them. To eliminate this dependency on the Score, its connections must be eliminated. There must be no reason for the Score, for the world to be free of pollutant lives.

How do you plan on accomplishing that with those people within the planet's memory still walking around?
