Miss Yuki, will you go to the prom with me? I think it'll be a rather interesting experience but that might just be my opinion. [Oh whoops, was that for everyone to hear. Merem doesn't care and he doubts Yuki cares either.]

As for the rest of you, I really hope to see you there. I'm pretty sure Ciel will be playing as a chaperone so if you're worried about trouble, you're in good hands. She's much like a dog, persistent and stubborn. I wonder if someone would actually take a dance with her though.

-right! For all you single men out there, I live with a lovely young lady who could use an escort. Really, she's all you could ask for in a girl and if you expect more, well...I suppose you can stay single. Your choice, after all. Her name is Sakura. Just let me know if you're interested.

[ooc; Sakura has a date but that doesn't mean Merem won't troll it.]

Humanity is constantly in danger, primarily from itself. That is why the Emperor created the Primarchs and the Astartes like myself. To be their immortal protectors.

[wise-king.livejournal.com]

In your time? Doubtful. Danger, sure but on a scale of a fly and cataclysmic destruction, it probably rates around a common cold.

[lunawolves10th.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry, did you just imply that my time is not particularly dangerous?

[wise-king.livejournal.com]

I implied that humans have a built in defense mechanism that activates when things become truly dangerous.

[lunawolves10th.livejournal.com]

Explain.

You've met them, haven't you? Some of them are known as Servants. Oh, they serve various purposes. But when humanity's collective unconsciousness becomes threatened, legendary beings who have formed a contract with that same unconsciousness are summoned to protect humans from the threat. Your Emperor and Primarchs that you speak of, after their death, I guarantee they will become such beings. Except they will be nigh unkillable, backed by the formerly dormant power of humanity.

I had it suggested to me that I would become one as well. My sense of modesty tells me this cannot be.

[he considers this.]

Faith has a quality, even divorced from religion. I could see human faith doing something like that.

[wise-king.livejournal.com]

Of course it does. Remember when I said I had an ability? I can bring things from the world of fantasy into reality. That world of fantasy is created by the human imagination and many animals that have existed in reality have been condemned to live there because they slowly became stories and legends for humans. Works of imagination.

That sounds strongly like unsanctioned sorcery.

[wise-king.livejournal.com]

Yet you are loyal to Rin who probably wields the most powerful sorcery known to man. You're a funny man.

[lunawolves10th.livejournal.com]

She is sanctioned and controlled. I know her discipline well.

[wise-king.livejournal.com]

I believe for you, the term sanctioned means "whoever is my friend". You are as vile as me.

[lunawolves10th.livejournal.com]

You're mistaken. I have not given up my ability to empathize with and relate to humans. I will never fall so low.

[wise-king.livejournal.com]

But you hate what you don't understand and salve that misunderstanding with big words to make it feel right. If you ask me, that sounds even worse. At least I recognize myself as disliking humans.

[lunawolves10th.livejournal.com]

You clearly misunderstand me if you believe I hate anything other than Xenos or Daemons.

[wise-king.livejournal.com]

You misunderstand yourself. Take a step back.

[lunawolves10th.livejournal.com]

[he is quiet for a moment.]

Explain what you meant by that.

[wise-king.livejournal.com]

Pretend you are not you. Cast aside all beliefs, thoughts, and bias then look at your actions.

[lunawolves10th.livejournal.com]

I see only a man who has done his best to keep order in a world that fell to madness. A man who failed, but a man who tried.

There is no doubt I am a murderer, on a scale that no-one else in Mayfield can comprehend. The Astartes were forced to such things by the nature of the crusade.

A weapon who questioned his purpose, stood for what he believed in, and died.

But there is no capriciousness in the terms I use, or judgments that I made.

[wise-king.livejournal.com]

As I said, you are as vile as me. You recognize you are a terrible person but attempt to justify it and even continue to do it.

[lunawolves10th.livejournal.com]

I'll bandy words with you no further. I do not seek your sanction for my actions.
