[ snorts. ] He does look like he's one of those. [ now if only he could meet nahida, their archon. ] But, in terms of our academics, I'm his senpai. [ HE GRADUATED FIRST SO THAT SHOULD COUNT FOR SOMETHING. ]
We do. Each of the seven nations has a god, or archon, to oversee it, though… they all take wildly different approaches. Sumeru, where I’m from, is the nation of wisdom and the home of the Akademiya, a place where the best and brightest study.
Yeah. We have gods, but they're not really people on their own. Like, a 'god of thunder' would be literally an aspect of thunder, a mindless force of nature. There might be some that can think and communicate, but the ones I know of can't.
Is he... reasonable? I know you know I killed his sister, but if there was a way of bringing her... back... I'm just wondering if you think it's worth it. Both of them are demons and I don't know if they'd fuck with us more or... [ he sighs, not really sure where the fuck he's going with this. ] I don't know.
I mean, you're thinking of demons all wrong there. It's not about 'reasonable' or not, they don't think the same way we do. They're chaotic, they all have their own idea of what is 'right' or 'wrong'. And some of 'em do the wrong stuff on purpose because we're an entirely different species from them and they feel no emotional connection to us. It's like a kid stepping on snails to watch their shells pop.
For the bomb demon in particular, if you had a way to bring back his sister he might be less angry. But he just likes blowing shit up. You'd have to ask him after you bring back his sister.
[ he stops to think about that and, yeah, it all makes a lot of sense. he's never dealt with demons, but they are infinitely more chaotic than *most* people, and they do seem like they're only interested in fulfilling their personal desires. ]
[ but he has to wince at the example. ]
Or I could ask him before. If he'd leave us all alone if I try.
He'll blow you up if you ask alone. You should talk to Lupin first, we managed to negotiate with him once so maybe having a couple of us there will help you.
I'm not going to talk to him on my own. I know how you summoned him, but I know he'll blow me up if I so much as look at him. It's part of the reason I wanted to talk to you.
Yeah. We can include Lupin too. [ since he's a shepherd and that might mean something. ] It might be better to have more of you, since I'm sure his hate of me is more than his tolerance of you.
I have a piece of her and the limbus bulbs can be used to regrow everything as long as you have a piece. I assumed it needed to be done with somebody alive, but... if it'll bring some peace between all of us, then I'm willing to try it.
...and just who is going to volunteer dying while the eye is open? Nobody. Not only that, there are no more bulbs. I went to try to collect some, so all we have is the one right now.
...oh. [ a slow nod. ] Alright. We can do this in the morgue. Let me just... talk to Bluebell. I'm still on the fence about whether or not it's going to be worth it, or if it's just going to get us all in more trouble.
