Muse headed to mayfield_rpg

Looks like you're sending me to that place after all.  If this is pity, or something like giving me a second chance, I don't need it.  All I want is to finish what I set out to do.

...What?  Sakura's already there?  She's all right?

Still... I don't know if I deserve to see her again, after the things I've done.  Maybe I really have changed.  Become a monster like old man Zouken.  I can't even remember what it was like anymore, before all of this.

Tokiomi! What are you doing here?

[brokiomi]

Your mention of the same town I find myself trapped in drew me here. Nothing more.

[waiting_for_the_worms]

Trapped?

[Kariya covers his face with his hand, laughing hysterically before launching into another brief coughing fit.]

So... even the Tohsaka's magic can't fight back against this place. How does it feel to be powerless to change things, Tokiomi?

[brokiomi]

I have come to accept the fact that escaping the town is currently not an option. The responsibility fell onto my daughter's shoulders when she inherited the Tohsaka family's Crest, and she has already informed me that we are stuck with no way out as of yet. Unlike you, Kariya, I have accepted things as they are.

I should have expected an answer like that from a snake like you. Pushing the burden onto Rin the same way you did with Sakura.

[brokiomi]

From the moment a magus is born, he is someone that has power. And some day, he will achieve a greater power. This responsibility was already flowing in his 'blood' before he realized this destiny. That is what it means to be born into this world as a child of a Magus.

You, who so carelessly threw away your birth right, have no room to speak of the ways of Magi. How could you, who turned your back on our world, possibly speak as if you know anything? Such a burden was never pushed upon Rin. No...

That burden was adopted the minute she was born as the daughter of a Magus.

And when did Sakura or Rin ever ask to be born as the daughter of a magus? Neither of them ever had any choice in the matter. Shouldn't they at least be allowed to choose the way they live their lives?

[brokiomi]

There are things we cannot control that stay out of our hands. I too never asked to be born as the son of a Magus, but I bore the burden just as Rin has. Freedom is a luxury we can only afford sparingly.
