Are any of you familiar with Carl Jung? If not, then I suggest you do.

But that is not my reason to come to you today. Rather it is to, perhaps, open your eyes should you chose to do so.

What makes good, good and evil, evil? Should both be simply placed as one or the other? If the 'evil' become the ruling force, would the rules be reversed? If someone steps up to remove a tyrant, are they doing good, or, in the eyes of others, are they being the ones who are evil?

...Or are we what makes these forces exist in the first place? Can good be really called good if there is no evil to defeat, no goal for them to attain?

You were all called here for a reason, but should you believe one side...or the other about what is the truth? As we become more enlightened, we tend to forget what came before. And as history has a tendency to repeat itself...

A man looks above to the nearby mountain. He knows not how it was made, and therefore decides that a god put it there. Is this man false? Scientifically, perhaps, we know that mountains are produced by the movement of lithospheric plates. Yet when we knew nothing of this, we saw the truth in a god. And so, this idea is born and now exists. Man gave it power, and the ability to create the mountain is now that god's.

Personas are reflections of a character's inner self, yet they are the gods, demons and powerful creatures of our worlds.

So then...can a man become a god...or was he always one?

You assume we are friends?

'course we are, since i dunno what sarcasm is and all

Considering your method of speech and mannerisms in general, it is almost a miracle.

Then that definition could also include spirits of objects or animals that have gained human sentience?

joke's on you, sometimes you oughta assume the opposite of people and stuff, god or not.

I am closely acquainted with one who made it their life's goal.

I'm well aware of that.

Well, most people believe that what they're doing is good, or they wouldn't be doing it. Even horrible actions can seem like they'll lead to a good end, and everyone will fight for what they believe in, even if that belief is genocidal. I believe

[...]...wait, you were saying "gods" come from belief, even if there's a scientific explanation for what they supposedly did. Is that the connection? Belief?

Just so we're clear? That isn't a compliment.

At all.

Smart ass.

*He mulls this. Oh, how he mulls this.*

In the end, the deaths that would result would haunt me no matter what I chose.

*He thinks further.*

The emotional part thinks my friend, because I treasure my friends. The rational part calls for the world, because we cannot continue to exist without it anyway.

*More thinking. This is...*

...I cannot honestly answer that question right now. But I would hope that should me and my friends find myself in a situation like that...

*He takes a deep breath. Calm down. It's not a final decision. It's not like it matters what an anonymous person thinks of him, right?*

...then I hope we trust each other enough to make the sacrifices needed. I know this much: If I had an option, I would die first before I would let my friends die.

*One final pause.*

...Frankly, I don't think there is a right answer to this question. Just a personal one.

...Well. You've answered your own question.

[He wasn't ignorant of the fact that the path he had chosen would lead to the enslavement of what could be argued to be a group of sentient and sapient creatures. But these things sold themselves by auction and were quite cheerful about the idea of being smushed together with other demon... molecules to make a new demon. It wasn't as if they were opposed to the idea of working for humanity.]

Satisfied? What spurred this on, anyway?

You seem to be quite an open book yourself.

If you wish it to be.

i'm touched, i'm just modest honest, 's all.

Man is an emotional creature, after all. Rationality can easily be thrown out the window should a situation turn dire.

Curiosity.

I suppose, but it'd be no fun if we were all a bunch of emotionless robots. There'd be no spice to life. A small price to pay to be interesting, I guess.

And learning nothing, I see.

I suppose that might be true.

Just remember all you said today if anything were to happen.

Then by that logic, if those could become gods...
Humans with the potential aren't much of a stretch, either.

The age old question... If I must use your kind's wording, then I believe "fate" is a myriad spread of choices, each leading to one ultimate end. There are many means to the same end. For your kind, this is death.

I am well aware of your meaning.

Gosh, that's not at all ominous. I'm going to remain cautiously optimistic for now so that if something DOES happen, I'm not too depressed to screw it up worse, okay?

Of course, now you're quiet.

[Atsuro considers again that he really needed to take the time to figure out the subtleties of the programming behind the COMP network. If he could hack into a demon server, however minimally, the system here was probably accessible. The trick was not to get caught.]

Have fun with the rest of your chats, then.
