Aselia was destroyed...? Ha. I knew it.

[ Guess who feels vindicated? ]

It figures that the first thing they do when they regain control of mana is to go right back to fighting anyway. Humans really do never change.

[ Yep. Jumping right to conclusions, because it sure wasn't him... even if he'd have liked to have been the one to pull the plug. ]

Shut the hell up, Mithos.

[Someone's testy today. Could it be that her mun is considering the same for her, despite ignoring the lures and pulls of everything else?]

[martelapproves]

What's your problem?

Don't tell me you missed that damn world, it's not even yours.

[skirtcladgunner]

That's not the point! Anyone who's sent there has their world destroyed!

[martelapproves]

You wanna guess why I don't care?

[skirtcladgunner]

[Think fast, Mithos--that is an open hand coming in the direction of your face.]

[martelapproves]

[ You're talking to the single most infamous boss in all of the Tales series when it comes to teleporting clear across the battlefield. Which he will now do. ]

Don't embarrass yourself, Tori.

[skirtcladgunner]

Don't tell me what to do. Because of your mun, my mun's considering that damn place in the future. And if I go, everyone I love will...

[martelapproves]

You're surprised about humans destroying another world besides mine?

[skirtcladgunner]

My world wouldn't be destroyed by humans. [It would most likely be due to Donovan, or... or maybe Aviophiel herself. She doesn't know.]

[martelapproves]

I'm talking about our mundanes.

But if that happens, doesn't that mean you'll be...?

[ that scary version of you? ]

[skirtcladgunner]

Well, I wasn't.

...no, most likely not. [Thank god.] My mun's thinking of taking me from a later point, where I would essentially be a demi-god... and the transformation would happen within moments of my world being destroyed.

[Casting a glare off screen.]

[martelapproves]

So... what does that mean?

[unlovedmoon]

You shouldn't expect them to. They're all pathetic and useless.

[martelapproves]

They're worse than that.

[unlovedmoon]

Which is why they should all die.

[martelapproves]

So what does that make you?

[unlovedmoon]

I am above them now. I am the Queen of Nemesis!

[martelapproves]

Okay... what's that?

[ Sorry, Black Lady. ]

[unlovedmoon]

Nemesis is a planet. [DON'T YOU KNOW THE COSMOS? SHEESH. ...>.>]

[martelapproves]

Oh.

[ He's never heard of it. Then again, most people just assume Derris-Kharlan is a moon. ]

I've never been there.

[unlovedmoon]

I will rule over it with Wiseman. [She looks quite triumphant.] Maybe I'll invite you there sometime...if...

You survive.

[martelapproves]

Survive what?

[ Because that sounds an awful lot like a threat. ]

[onetoraisehim]

You're going to a new place. That's wonderful, Mithos.

[She doesn't want to talk about what happened to Aselia, mostly because she doesn't approve of what he said.]

[martelapproves]

... sis...

[ He's seen enough of her here for him to not break down in tears every single time, but it still makes his heart catch in his throat. ]

I don't want to go to some new world. I just want you back.

Awwww yeah I'm excited!

[clumsyjesus]

Um....we don't know for sure that our worlds are destroyed, though.

\o/

[martelapproves]

You're still this naive?

[ A scoff. Oh, Colette... ]

Why do you think I split the worlds up in the first place? Why do you think I took control over mana away from humans? And now that all of that's been undone, the world was suddenly destroyed? It's not hard to figure out what happened.

[suppress]

If our world was destroyed, it was not by humans' fighting.

[martelapproves]

What happened, then? Some other violent species that only knows how to hurt people used up all the mana after the worlds were rejoined?

[suppress]

People will always make mistakes, but they are also able to learn from those failures. [And that's more than she can say of you, Mithos.] As long as there are people like Lloyd and Colette to protect it, the new tree will continue to grow alongside them.

[...]

The administrators claim it to be a virus.

[martelapproves]

[ He knows what she's implying, there. ]

I waited for four thousand years for humans to change. This proves that they still haven't. How long are you going to keep thinking they'll suddenly stop hating everything that isn't like them?!

[ Totally ignoring the bit about the virus. A plague? No way. ]

[suppress]

They have changed enough to reject the twisted system that forced the two worlds to compete for mana of their own accord, while you continue to refuse to acknowledge anything that does not fit your view of the world.

[martelapproves]

[ That's exactly his point, Presea. ]

And now look what they're doing. Fighting, again, just like I said they would. And I even heard they're looking through the ruins of the Human Ranches looking for magitechnology.

And now the world's destroyed. Congratulations, you all got what you wanted. I hope it was worth it.

[luxuriant]

Not to interrupt your wishful thinking or anything, but you're kind of assuming a lot there, don't you think?

[martelapproves]

Funny how the world ends shortly after the worlds rejoined and humans can start using as much mana as they want again. If you have another explanation, let's hear it.

[luxuriant]

All right, how's this? You're a jaded brat who doesn't know how to see reality for what it is anymore. The world doesn't end. ...Well, maybe it does in that crappy place you're going to, but even still, it's not because of humans.

It's your mess that has to be cleaned up and dealt with over the years.

[martelapproves]

Are you really going to try say it's my fault that Sylvarant and Tehte'alla started fighting again barely two years after they were rejoined?

You do know that's why I split them up in the first place, right? And then expecting humans not to try to use magitechnology as weapons again? And, then, my favorite, the Sylvarant Dynasty trying to come back?

Face it. They haven't changed. If anyone made this mess, it's Lloyd. Maybe the world really was better off destroyed.

[luxuriant]

...No. That sort of thing is natural. [He can't deny that, though he does hate to say it since he knows how Mithos likes to take it.]

But you're wrong. Lloyd isn't making messes. He's cleaning them up. And pretty damn well on top of it. [...] Nothing is perfect, Mithos. It's not about human or not human.

[To think he's saying these things now... heh. It's kind of amusing to him at this point. Lloyd really got to him.]

[martelapproves]

The way I see it, everything I said would happen is happening. [ Except for one thing. He heard about Martel coming back as a Summon Spirit... sort of. He isn't sure what to make of that. It isn't what he wanted, but... isn't that better than the alternative? ]

I bet half-elves are still living on Exire, too.
