It's a shame winter doesn't last longer. I would like to see more snow, don't you think, mom?

[Merem and Ciel are taking a walk in the park, enjoying the warm weather like a normal family. Keywords there on normal. Unfortunately, there's an interloper here in the form of Arcueid, the Princess of the True Ancestors.]

IDIOT NUN!!

[The White Princess takes a hefty swing and nails Ciel right in the stomach. Even though she should be in horrid pain, she's still smiling. And she keeps smiling after a few more punches go to her face, which causes Arcueid to pause.]

What are you doing, Princess? This kind of thing is useless, you know? Watch and see.

[Merem grabs Ciel's arm and without pause, pulls her down and bites her neck. All the way through. Her head rolls off in a small spray of arterial blood and Merem grabs it before it hits the ground. The Crown starts to spin the head around on his finger struggling to balance it like a basket ball.]

See? It has to be like that.

I didn't want to kill her, I just wanted to beat her up for being stupid. I guess she managed to run away by getting droned because she knew what was coming. Or I guess maybe she didn't. Either way that shell is useless so you can do what you want with her.

[WELL. At least one of them is impressed with Merem's mad skillz.

Arcueid and Merem will be replying separately.]

But humans are imperfect in nature. How do you prove to correct this?

[yamaxanadu]

Though imperfect they can strive to be the best they can, that is all that is needed in the end.

[wise-king.livejournal.com]

Imperfection will never reach perfection. Attempting to imply as such is a fantasy beyond even what my link to the Land of Fantasy can conjure up.

[Not to mention Gensokyo translates to Land of Fantasy but Merem doesn't know this. NASUUUUUUUUUUUUUU]

[yamaxanadu]

Striving for perfection and not reaching it is acceptable, though I would like perfection I do not require it, attempting to simply do better is perfectly alright with me.

[wise-king.livejournal.com]

You're an odd person.

[yamaxanadu]

I am a Yama.

[wise-king.livejournal.com]

Still a person. Either way, I'm sure someone has been itching to tell you but in terms of your job, our world works different than whatever job you do. Leave it to a half-insane person to actually provide proof.

[yamaxanadu]

And I wonder how much you see of the behind the scenes work.

[wise-king.livejournal.com]

You explained your job at another time, yes? Judging souls?

[yamaxanadu]

Yes, I judge the souls of the dead and process them for the next life. Without the system of the Yama the cycle of life and death would stop.

[wise-king.livejournal.com]

Do you think that system is absolute? As in no world can exist without it?

[yamaxanadu]

There is always something.

[wise-king.livejournal.com]

With an unlimited number of universes, quantum mechanics would say you're wrong.

[yamaxanadu]

I would think with the unlimited number of universes and various ways things can be I would be right. There is always something, I didn't say what that something was.

[wise-king.livejournal.com]

You can't say there is always something when the options are unlimited.

[yamaxanadu]

As long as there is life and death in any of those unlimited options there is a process of some kind to it.
