01 Text - Cult Recruitment!

hello residents of hinotori. i am here today to extend a helpful hand to you all. what a dead world you reside in. a miracle you survive for so long. demons prowl and yet humans still manage to survive in the face of adversary. how does such a weak creature gain such strength. they are wild and conflicting in their ways. their emotions are inscrutable. perhaps it is those things that are their strengths. they are like cockroaches. i mean that nicely. the humans of my world lived in a world that was dead. this one still has some life. some. in any case i should get to the point. please excuse my poor literacy. i do not know how to write human very well. i am trying however. the spellchecker function on this is very useful. the point. cries of assistance was given. i enjoy helping humans. i wish to be benevolent to you. however power lies in faith and faith can only give power. my followers are no more so their prayers cannot reach me regardless. therefore i extend a hand. i will be blunt. residents of hinotori join my cult. :) i added an emote of a smile because smiling is said to make people more relaxed when asking them of things. so please. consider my proposal. :) :) :) :)

Oh, very well. Would you mind if I take some time to prepare? When it comes to recruitment, I prefer to give speeches... and my bedroom is hardly the ideal backdrop for one.

[Never mind that she's already used it as one once already... but in her defense, she felt that time was of the essence when it came to informing people about her giant satellite.]

this is acceptable. your help makes me imitate happiness. thank you very much. i know you said emoticons were bad but :) <3 !!! \o/ take all the time you require.

it's pisces www don't worry about it so far your spelling is enough to get by i live at libra though. the building of weighing scales! so we have to meet at some middle ground

i do not know my way around this city just yet. i will search for the perfect meeting place for us. i will tell you then. when i find it.

sure thing i'll see you around! o((*^▽^*))o

yes. goodbye friend. ー( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ

[Viridi groans and mutters to herself as she closes communications with Anant.]

Ugh. I take back everything I said.

I'm...

[He lets out a shuddering breath, closing his eyes as if just saying what he's going to next is something that dredges up painful memories that he's trying to keep at bay.]

I'm worthless. A coward. Somebody who will never put up a fight. Just a dark stain on the world that was never needed.

But most of all...they see me as a monster.

...

I don't want to say that they're wrong, because I want them to be, but I can't exactly say it's not true, what they say about me...

[Anant's head tilted in a bird like manner]

So embroiled in feelings of negativity... it is like a black hole, sucking up all light and passion. It is a very sad state of affairs, although there is a terrifying beauty in black holes. They are mysterious and destructive, and they devour everything...not even Gods or light can escape their pull...

Ah, pardon me. I went off on a tangent. My point remains, however. Human perception is a very tricky thing, I have found. They are prone to making judgement without acknowledging or understanding those they are judging intimately well. It is an amusing flaw in them! But sadly common.

If it is any consolation, you do not appear monster-like to me. You are plainly human.

Not really. I don't think most people are gonna be persuaded by some happy faces.

...Are you comparing me to a black hole?

[And a pause.] I know it's common, and all, but tell that to the majority of them, and see if they listen. No matter what, they'll still believe the same thing, no matter how much you force the truth into them.

[He tilts his head back slightly, something like relief in his tiny smile- but his eyes, however, glint darkly.] Am I?

but i was told smiles made humans happy. was i misinformed. :(

Black holes are interesting. Powerful and interesting. It is good to be compared to one, yes?

But yes, you are human. It is obvious to me, even though we are not speaking in person. Your actions, your self-loathing, your defensiveness... all incredibly human traits - unless you are very good at mimicking, in which I am in awe. Not even I can mimic emotions so well...

No, smiles are good! It just takes more than just some smiles to convince people to do something big like that.

[A long pause of thinking!]

i recall someone telling me that bribery of food works in persuasion of humans. what if i said that i will give you food. but that feels like trickery on my part. :( ): this is hard.

Yeah, I kind of agree. Bribery isn't really the best way to get believers.

I guess with stuff like this, you have to convince people it's a good idea. Like, why should people have faith? What do you do?

[is he really having this conversation with a god yep sounds like it]

that makes sense. what i do is encouragement of the human condition. humans have a myriad of traits that make them fascinating to me. perseverance. free will. emotions. dreams. ambitions. i believe and accept all humans. no matter what decisions they have made in life. my cult believed that standing together had a higher survival rate. that so long as our brothers and sisters did not fall, we would not either. we would continue to struggle forth to succeed, be it our dreams or simple survival, and we would be helped by those that struggled with us. am i making sense. i know i am not the best when it comes to explanations.

[Heh. The more he listened, the more he thought this guy kind of sounded like Alcor. Could he get nostalgic over something like that? Regardless, he kind of missed starbro.]

No, that makes sense to me. You're doing good! That's the kind of thing you should tell people if you want them to join you. I think a lot of people would be able to get behind that!

i see. so next time i should explain myself clearer. do you believe in my views then. would you be willing to join me. :)

Uh, well yeah, I think you have a lot of good points. I'm not sure I'd be a very good follower though. I'm not really the "believer" type or anything...

there is no bad follower in this. you just have to be you. and never stop being you. you can strive for whatever dreams you have. believe in anything. or simply drift through life. you will still be a precious follower to me no matter what decisions you make.

Well...they destroy everything they touch. Which I guess is a good analogy of what I do, but it's not really good to be compared to, if you know what I mean.

[Oh, dear Amant, you have no idea how good at mimicking he is. But he merely pauses and then shakes his head.]

Oh, no! No, I'm not mimicking, but...it's not like monsters and stuff can't feel emotions too, you know?

Edited 2012-11-25 21:08 (UTC)

I wouldn't know. I am not interested in monsters. They are painfully predictable, and they are driven by... silly things.

[Anant's voice is a bit dismissive]

Of course, it is different if they are human monsters, because their fall from grace is always fascinating to watch. But something that is born a monster, and lives as one, and remains static? No interest. None.

Silly things...like what?

[He seems to consider the second part a bit before saying, slowly...]

So...you're only interested in things that change, are you?

Things that possess the potential to change. Even humans who appear to have never learned or grow change in subtle ways that are unknown to a cursory glance. Humans are ever changing, ever evolving, depending on their environment and circumstances.

Monsters? Born monsters? What are their goals? Devour, destroy, fulfil base instincts, instead of breaking past their limits to achieve something more! They do not change, their goals and methods remain the same, they give no thought to the evolution of the soul...

Offensive.
