[voice] Of Orion the Hunter

[viditlibertas]

[Even without actual video, it's pretty clear that the speaker is rather exhausted, or just too beyond putting emotional inflection in his voice.]

The Pleiades, attendants of Artemis and the lost daughters of Atlas, became one with the night sky to comfort their father. Orion, the Great Hunter who was slain by the Scorpion of Artemis, sought to conquer them. However, in his way lies the Great Bull, with it's fiery eye fixated on the Hunter.

[There's a pause, however brief, and his tone shifts to something a little more humanlike.]

Though there are many variations on these myths, it may be wise to also look in to them.

Both.

[Mythology is ~magical~.]

[viditlibertas]

Exactly. For all intents and purposes, all myths and all possibilities must be considered. Man's belief may create a situation in which all, some, or none of those stories are 'true'.

[hetried]

U-Uh... if you say so...

[Nope he doesn't get it at allllll]

[viditlibertas]

[Uh oh it's coming it's-]

Daichi Shijima, have I ever explained to you the importance of names?

[...well, at least he's asking if you want an infodump???]

[hetried]

[Oh no. Oh boy. He knows what's coming--]

Uh... no? What's that have to do with anything?

[viditlibertas]

A name is a mark. To call one by their true name is to exert power over them- the veil is removed, and the self is what remains. Thus, by naming a myth, man exerts power over it.

The same principle can be seen in this situation. To declare something 'possible', you bring it in to power simply through such a claim.

[hetried]

So... you can change something just by naming it?

[ooh so close.]

[viditlibertas]

Would you still be yourself if you were named 'Kaito Watari'? 'Yamato Hotsuin'?

[hetried]

Uuh... well...

{Hang on, he has to think about this because questions are never easy with Saiduq...]

I mean... if I had been born as a Hotsuin, I guess I would be different. But if my parents were named 'Hotsuin,' and they named me 'Yamato' instead, I don't think I'd be that much different. Same with if they named me Kaito instead. I don't think that really would've changed who I am.
