throwing him in paradisa~

[pocketmage]

Oookay, so a magic castle that kidnaps people and slowly chips away at their souls? That doesn't sound like much fun. Not to mention the fact that I've only been in your head for... what, maybe a week officially?

[ Sigh. ]

Don't you think it's a little early to reserve me and start writing that application? I mean, you haven't even tested me out or anything! Can you even write me correctly? I'm pretty smart, you know- and you're at Lloyd's caliber.

[ A pause. ]

You don't even remember all of your multiplication tables. So how are you going to make me look smart at all?

Well, at least I hear there's a lot of people I know there, so I won't be alone... even if that's what made you want to put me there in the first place.

[wilder]

Oh hey look, it's the brat.

[pocketmage]

Oh, hey, it's the jerk. [ Not sounding too enthusiastic... ] My day just can't get any worse, can it?

[wilder]

Oh yeah. We were short on Gald so we decided to sell most of your stuff. [Lying, of course]

[pocketmage]

Really? I guess I won't have to apologize for sticking sap all over your sword, then. That's a relief.

[ Not believing you, Zelos. Do you believe him? ]

[wilder]

...See. This is exactly why I tried to convince them to sell you too.

[pocketmage]

But you're much more trouble to lug around. It'd just be easier to sell you... but then again, I'm not sure if we'd get any buyers.

[wilder]

Ahahaha, please. You'd get more than enough- but the problem is no one could possibly afford a prize like me~!

[pocketmage]

A prize? Oh, brother. [ This is his disbelieving face. ]

Well, if you're a prize, we could always give you away for free. Then you'll be gone anyway.

[aworldformysisterandme]

What's wrong with a castle that does that?

[Sounds like you will all become lifeless beings. YAY NO RACISM!]

1/2

[pocketmage]

... [ Give him a moment to process the shock. You just betrayed him in his canon point. ]

2/2

[pocketmage]

Well- it's dangerous! If a person doesn't have any soul left... then they don't have any emotions or feelings or thoughts.

[ The time that Colette was a soulless vessel comes to mind. ]

[aworldformysisterandme]

[Oh, Cool bro, he's around from around that point too.]

So? Isn't it better that way? We can cast away all those awful things about ourselves and become lifeless beings. There won't be anymore discrimination that way, Genis.

[pocketmage]

[ Oh joy! ]

N-no discrimination? [ Oh lovely, there's no Lloyd around to slap some sense into him this time. ] But if you can't even think for yourself, doesn't that ruin the point of living?

[ He's very shaken up, though. ]

blegh excuse my terrible Mithos

[aworldformysisterandme]

[Yes Genis, come join your best friend. He's been lonely :c. Weren't you and he supposed to play together?]

Yes, Genis. No discrimination. [Mithos shrugs at the question though.]

Discrimination is born from those who rely too much on that. For their hatred of what's difference. When we cast that aside we all can live together happily. Wouldn't you want that, Genis?

don't say that; he's wonderful! ; v ;

[pocketmage]

[ He's still very rattled by Mithos' betrayal and doesn't know what to think about him, so he's at a disadvantage here! ]

I... It would be nice... [ he admits; a world without discrimination? It sounds like a fool's paradise. But he's young and hopeful. ]

t-thank yooou

[aworldformysisterandme]

Then, join me Genis and we can defeat Lloyd. Then we'll have a world without discrimination and everyone can accept one another.

[Offering a hand.]

[gentleidealist]

What does multiplication have to do with living in a castle?

[MISSING THE POINT, AS USUAL]

[pocketmage]

[ ........ Oh, Lloyd. Genis is mentally face-palming at you. ]

... You're not getting the point. What I mean is, how can my mun write me properly if she doesn't even know something so simple?

A wild elf appears!

[inafadingcrown]

Ah, so you are another of Lloyd's companions, are you? You will be far from alone, I assure you.

:'D!

[pocketmage]

[ Genis blinks. Oh- an elf? He fiddles with his hair, as though to hide it in front of his ears, a little nervous. ]

Ah- yeah, I am.

You're in Paradisa right now?

[inafadingcrown]

[She's used to the nervousness. Given what she's heard about the elves of that world, she thinks it understandable.]

I am. And I have come to think a great deal of a number of your friends.

[pocketmage]

[ He tries to stop fiddling with his hair, instead clasping his hands together to keep them from wandering.

The comment intrigues him, though. ]

Really? Um... Is... is there a Raine Sage?

[ He's obviously a little intimidated by Galadriel's presence, considering elves usually preferred to disregard half-elves. ]

[inafadingcrown]

There is. And she is one of those I hold in high regard, though I do not know her as well as I would like.

[...Because Raine is still a little intimidated by her. It makes Galadriel sad.]

[pocketmage]

[ He's glad to hear about Raine- if there's one person he wanted to be there, it was likely her- before pausing.

... High regard? ]

... But you're- you're an elf, aren't you? [ he blurts out, before realizing that sounded kind of hypocritical. ] I mean- it's just-...

[ Ah- he had given himself away! ]

[inafadingcrown]

I am. And you are a half elf. I thought as much from your reaction.

[But she's still got that gentle smile on her face.]

There are no ill-feelings between elves and half elves in my world. Indeed, I am honored to count some of the line of Peredhil amongst my kin.
