On considering a second game.

[blue_eyed_devil]

Yes, it would be starting over. Again.

Why does that bother you now? If you want to attempt this, just do it. If I have to make my own way again, then I will find a way.

oh good.

Many men have walked the path you do now.

[The hierarchy of humans, demons, or otherwise being perceived as subservient to gods should, in reality, be flipped. The gods, the kami- they are the ones that keep the world running as it is, making sure that all of creation is able to have its freedom to love, to hate, to make peace, to declare war. To protect the entire world for eternity despite its vices is something only a god can do. ...But she is nothing so grand.]

I wish you better luck than them.

I think I died once

[He's quiet, mulling over that one. It is something he's considered before, and there were regrets. But everything was already torn apart, and he couldn't really justify not aiming for the top. The alternative is suffering, and while he's not relishing his decision, like Arkham, he's determined.]

This is what it takes. There's no reason to turn back.

you got my sympathy man but join the clubb???

[she's not one to turn others away from their goal, but merely lay out other options and suggestions to alternates. she'd never impose. she's not sure if this is a quest for love or revenge or honor but--] If forgiveness is beyond you, have mercy.

[words for any scenario. for his enemy should he win. for himself should he fail. there's still some sympathy there. she hardly understands why others have the need to push themselves like this, if it brings them pain.]

Mercy.

[He says the word like he doesn't know what it means. There are plenty of people who would assume just that, and he certainly does nothing to dissuade them from their belief. But whether he does or doesn't, he looks down all the same, contemplating her advice in his own way.

Pushing oneself to the end of all limits is part of living for some. It's a validation of existence, especially for those who don't have any other way to validate that they exist.]

Mercy is useless to a demon.

ooh. this just keeps on going, huh. well then: \(~.^)/

[onikonikodouga]

[ No, mercy and other concepts of compassion are not quickly associated with demons. She knows this. But...such things are what make humans that much stronger. ] It is possible for you to be strong...strong and human.

[ Her smile is set. Even if they might not be in the same game, even if they won't meet each other again- ] And I await the day you will be.
