To be blunt? On the other hand, I was concerned Ookurikara was about to try stabbing everyone, and that Axel was going to attack Milla. Hisoka had the opportunity to sabotage us if he so felt like it. Many people walked out of that with their hearts in pieces and frustrated with their own helplessness.
I'm sure I could list more points of contention upon further reflection. But we aren't going to last at this rate.
[there's an open hand to encourage shess to sit with them, and then they'll wordlessly begin to fill the third sake cup and push it toward him]
Ookurikara... went through quite the ordeal. It was interesting, to watch the shift in his demeanor, though worrying all the same. I wonder if he will turn that anger he feels into a need to protect what comrades he has remaining...
Axel was motivated by his own type of kindness, driven from a need to look over others. Milla, her sword guided by perhaps the exact same.
Hisoka appears to do what entertains him... I wonder how tightly he'll clutch onto that desire to stave off boredom, and how much he truly was affected by the loss of his partner.
[ . . . ]
It's difficult, is it not? To be surrounded by so many different types of people, who are so very emotional, and for the most part, well-intentioned.
I wonder if they will come to realize that they desire many of the same things in time.
I did not think it would be easy, but I do believe that the relationships that beings make amongst one another are far more powerful than some might give credit for.
That I would like to see it eradicated from this world.
[that is said very quickly and calmly.]
... however, it would appear that the way it chooses to manifest is sporadic, and it is difficult to locate the source. Of course... just because it is difficult that does not mean we will not try.
The changing of the scroll at the end of today.... The universe conveys its messages to the young one and I often via scroll, in a place that none of you are able to reach.
We will likely spend tonight trying to decipher more answers for the coming week, and see if we can, at the very least, limit further danger to you all.
I don't necessarily blame you or Sol, but that has been your constant answer for any question. People are already discontent with it, and that will only grow stronger.
That is to be anticipated, and I am aware that it's difficult to ask for patience without being able to provide more certainty. A week might be nothing to you and I, but to humans it is a long time to wait. Even the young one grows restless as time passes.
But at the same time, I cannot help but feel as though we have only just truly begun, and the steps we're meant to take are unfolding before us.
To be honest, given the possibility that I may suddenly be brainwashed and possibly sentenced to death for it, even I'm feeling a little impatient. Fighting off an enemy would be one thing, but...
Mm. How is that the fates would find such a thing fair... is it? As if setting us all up for a losing battle...
I do not wish for that harm to befall any of you - but I understand that words are but words, and damage has already come to pass.
[but at the very least - ]
A talisman to protect against corruption, is it? Such arts are normally not within my power... but I will see what I can arrange, even if perhaps by force.

Everyone acts according to their own justice. If they so easily aligned, the universe would have far less conflicts than it does.

Is harmony not worth striving for?
no subject
[just saying.]
no subject
Mm, I believe we all deserve a long vacation after this.
I will have a word with your higher-ups to try to retrieve one for you.
no subject
[his world is kind of on the verge of destruction??]
More importantly, the corruption. What can you say about it?

I would not discount the chance of it happening again next week, though everyone did well in removing it this week.
Darkness attracts darkness - allowing someone corrupted to remain would likely only add to the instability of this place.
no subject
And is there nothing we can do to protect ourselves from this?
no subject
Of course, we are looking.

The darkness that falls on Thursdays makes it troublesome even for us....

Anything else you would like me to search for?
no subject
[which sucks, for the record.]
I'm guessing my original abilities are beyond your control.
no subject
That is correct. We had no control over the state in which you arrived.
Is there something that you miss?
no subject
Everything?
no subject
And if you were to pick the top three abilities?
no subject
[so.]
My regeneration, my healing transcendental, and my original physical capabilities.
no subject
I imagine that it will not be something that I will be able to grant you freely... but at the very least, it shouldn't be impossible.
no subject
What would be the price?
