@the-watching-one-offical
The watcher
The watcher he watches from whispering halls,
The bells are ringing
A shadow told
me a whispered story
of friendship and glory
where birds and bombs are singing
The watcher delights in the howling of flames
pigs and flies burn
as he plays his games
I sleep in the shadows
and dance in the meadows
all burned and bloody and torn.
The watcher he sleeps in a bed of bone
dreams of sunlight
up on his throne
Adorned with flies
and whispering lies
Joys brushed away in his smile
*the air around you rapidly turns multiple degrees colder, while each and every source of light slowly flickers and goes out until it seems like even the sun has been dimmed down to a minimum. A creature appears in front of you, barely recognize able in the near total darkness, but what’s visible of its form suggests it to be a mangled, twisted mixture of fly like features, with sharp edges of metal plates breaking up its more organic parts. The creature seems to be floating in mid air, slowly creeping closer and closer to you. Once it’s about two meters away, it abruptly halts its advance, a green light flickering on its torso. As soon as the light has stabilized itself, a cold and inhuman voice starts booming all around you*
…
Well… hello there!!
I’m told… you wanted to meet me?
What a NICE coincidence… see I’m… quite intrigued by you as well….
But.. I fear I can’t be present in person.. or else… the whole.. speaking aspect of this meeting would be….
Rather difficult….
So.. You will have to be satisfied with… one of my messengers for now….
- @the-watching-one-offical
Oh, quite pleasurable to meet you.
*Bows her head, her wings spreading and tail shifting to balance, her heavy horns seeming to glow in the dim light.*
I am Lord Octavius, though I’m sure you are familiar with my name…
*Looks back up*
I hope you’ve found your ‘travel’ to be peaceful. As I try to keep this meeting as…agreeable, as possible…
Hmh…
Good to know.
I’ve had enough entities causing issues in recent times…
A peaceful encounter… would be QUITE nice for a change!!!
Now… Quinn didn’t… exactly tell me why he wants me to meet you…
But…
You appear to be quite… powerful??? So… I’d have gained an interest in you sooner or later either way….
Powerful? What quant flattery, thank you.
I simply wanted to discuss your plans, or rather, your goals for- I hear- world destruction?
*Currently picking lettuce out of a sandwich the Pineapple handed to her via teleportation*
I wasn’t trying to flatter you… I’m just… stating facts…
And… you won’t to discuss my plans???
Well… what IS there to discuss really…. Not much if I’m being honest….
My… creatures…
Namely Atropos…
…Will see to it… and have the world go up into flames in NO time…
Quinn’s given me… QUITE a nice canvas to work with… though… the trigger for the sort of apocalypse I’m after…
Is… RATHER hilarious in this world’s case???? An Angel pretending to be a demon… not knowing that they’re somehow the antichrist…
Quite RIDICULOUS… ain’t it?????
*Flicks the lettuce into an abyss, taking a bite.*
*With mouth full*
Well, I wouldn’t say I’m powerful…
Just kinda unstable at the moment haha… *You feel an intense wave of heat hit you*
I mean, it’s not that I’m at all opposed to destruction of any sorts, I just don’t want to kill the little animals, Y’know?
Oh by the way, what’s the deal with the ERA, Hell n all that? Are you just trying to contain the so-called ‘Antichrist’?
Or use them…
Okay…
Let me spell it out for you…
Of COURSE I’m trying to USE the antichrist for MY means!!! Haven’t you… realized the sheer amount of POTENTIAL that would have????
My dear…
Have you… EVER heard of the… apocalypse paradox??? I… guess you haven’t… well…
In short summary: If ONE kind of religious apocalypse is triggered within this specific universe… it WOULD violate dozens upon dozens of rules in place to keep this world intact and running…
It would… if you think about it… turn this world into a massive version of Schrödinger’s cat… neither alive nor dead… just PURE chaos…
And… well dear that’s KINDA what I want… so…
Besides that…
You misunderstood me… Hell is in fact… well… Quinn made me a present and pulled some plot twists to make THEM the antichrist…. And well…
That should kinda… explain my goals here??
Oh…
And I can assure you… I had absolutely NOTHING to do with the ERA…
That’s… well… maybe a side product of my plotting??? But…. Nothing more….
I see. So your goal seems to be the exact opposite of mine…
*Laughs to herself*
You think so lowly of me, don’t you? I can tell by the condescension of your tone…
Getting defensive so soon, are we? Is your plan ,somehow, flawed?
(Btw Octavius is going through another fast, trying not to cannibalize others-> going insane. Might go off on tangents, looks very sickly)
*the watcher’s voice suddenly sounds mildly defensive*
My… my plan isn’t FLAWED!!! It’s… working out QUITE well, thank you.
And well… I wouldn’t… particularly say that I’m thinking… LOWLY of you.. it’s just…
I’m trying to assess how much of a problem to my cause you’ll be… that’s it… but…
Judging by your current condition… ah… I think you won’t be MUCH of an obstacle.. don’t you think??
I won’t be much of a problem, no. I’ve got my own business to deal with…
*Tilts her head*
Say, who’s on your side, exactly?
Well…
Why should I tell YOU that???? Give me one solid reason for why giving you THAT information should be…
A GOOD idea???
Oh… but I assume I COULD… tell you about my… creations??? Since… those are public knowledge either way…
So..
Take it or leave it?
Why, only because I’m curious. And I’m so very weak at the moment, it’s not like I would be harming you in any way…
So yes, tell me about your creations, I am truly honored to be lending my ear to you…
*mutters: *
Well… CURRENT weakness is no guarantee for FUTURE weakness…
But… alas…
It’s been a while since I had anyone… talking to me THAT willingly….
So… I might as well regale you with some minor information that… won’t actually give you… any solid fuel if you… were to use it against me…
My… creations. Atropos and Tammy. It… would be… a bit much to call them my children… but.. they’re closer than any thing living or dead ever came to that position..
They.. they are the perfect duo… opposites and nearly all regards… two siblings ETERNALLY pitted against each other… in an ever lasting struggle for the ultimate fate of millions of worlds stretching across an infinite amount of universes.
…Tammy is the perfect incarnation of compassion and love… WEAK UTTERLY doomed to FAIL….
And… and Atropos… he… he WAS perfect… completely and UTTERLY perfect… as cruel as destruction as insane as the chaos he brought commanded him to be… but…
*bitterly*
He grew SOFT… gave himself to the weakness of love and… well..
No he’s starting to… become more and more of a liability than an actual asset….
…
And… well… that’s as much information as I can give you… in the current situation…

*sigh*
Apparently I have to be the one to tell you.
Edda is back. Took forever but I finally managed it.
But- he won't cause problems for you.
Ah!!
Interesting…
I Wonder why Quinn didn’t tell me already…
But…
Why EXACTLY do you… think he won’t cause any problems???
The fact that he EXISTS is a whole entire problem on its own….
*a fly appears close to Diablo, its presence once again being announced by a rapid change in temperature*
*the watcher’s voice sounds more casual than usual, almost amused*
Well…
Hello there, Diablo….
@the-watching-one-offical
*turns to face the Watcher, their usual, nonchalant self*
Oh! Hello! I’d been hoping to talk to you!
Something you want?
Well…
I wanted to congratulate you!!!
You seem to have FINALLY understood whom you’re WORKING for here…
Though…
Admittedly…
I was KINDA shocked by your ENTHUSIASM!!! The fact that you fulfilled my order BEFORE I even had a chance to UTTER it…
Applause, Diablo… applause….
*looks confused for the briefest of moments before realizing*
Oh-
You mean with Yara…
That was to hurt Via for what they did to Edda, but I appreciate the praise nonetheless!
Very much so!
Now…I had something I wanted to talk to you about, if you don’t mind!
Well…
You did procure a hopefully VERY fruitful alliance for me… so…
Sure!!
Why not…
I’ll listen to what you have to say!!
Good! I mean, I probably would’ve told you anyway,
*grins*
But I thank you for your permission!
*narrows eyes, growing serious*
I want to ensure the survival of Raziel and perhaps Colier when this world is destroyed.
Edda-
*takes a few breaths, tears pricking at his eyes*
Edda mentioned you threatened to hurt Raziel a while back and so I’ve kept him hidden away for quite a long time now.
But I can assure you, I have no interest in thwarting or betraying your plan, and no reason to if you promise me Atropos, Raziel and Colier’s safety.
*remains silent for a moment*
So…
You want to tell me that you… want me to increase the amount of people I need to bring into the next world…
From ONE…
To THREE???
And… of all the people on this planet…
YOU WANT THESE TWO??!??!?
Diablo…. Your romantic tendency are…. Well… I’d say they’re… disturbingly… unique??
A lot of things about me are disturbingly unique.
*sharply, though their cheeks tinge slightly pink*
And who told you I had romantic feelings for Raziel?!
The thing is…they’re the only beings I really care about in this world.
And if I’m torn between them and Atropos…I’ll always be difficult to control. I’ll always hesitate to follow your plan.
Because you’re asking me to make an impossible choice…
But…
If you could ensure me they’d be alright…I’d have no reason not to want watch this word burn.
I have a few reasons of my own to want to make this world, as it happens.
But Raziel and Colier are holding me back from fully giving myself to your cause. Promise me that they’ll be safe and I have no reason not to help you.
Hmh…
Well… regarding your question…I… tend to hear A LOT of things… though….
*he sounds annoyed for a moment*
The CONNECTION’s been a little bit… wonky….lately.
*pauses for a moment, thinking*
Well… I can DEFINITELY assure the safe passage of that… little Angel you’re swooning over….
As long as you CAN assure me that he’ll actually be a productive asset in advancing my plans…
…so… basically you need to convince him to pull his own weight….instead of just… sitting around in doom and gloom…
But…
That Colier guy???
I… I’ll need to talk to him first…
So that I can…. See whether he’d be a danger to my cause…
*nods slowly, grinning*
That…would be great.
Colier…I don’t know if he’s even going to make it through the week so I understand if you can’t make that happen.
And I’m not swooning over Raziel, but I’ll find a way that he can be helpful to your cause, if it means he can come with us!
But you know he’s bound to Heaven, do you not?
*hesitates*
And I’m assuming you still don’t want me to tell Atropos about this?
Well…
*with a slight hint of amusement in his voice*
You’re swooning as long as I say that you are… and you are DEFINITELY swooning over Raziel…
But yes…
Heaven…shouldn’t be much of an issue….
And…
Well OBVIOUSLY I don’t want you to tell Atropos!!! That would… cancel out our WHOLE deal….
*rolls eyes and folds arms*
Yeah, yeah, whatever you say.
And I won’t tell him…
And…one more thing…
*grins*
Last one, I promise!
if Colier can’t be part of the deal, I want someone to replace him.
Hmh…
I… guess you’re talking about that… child god??
…Noa…
Right????
Well… if that is the case… then…
It CAN be done!!!! Though… only under the same condition that applies with Raziel…
They HAVE to be USEFUL!!!
*surprised that he knows, but grins*
Very well! I’ll see to it that she is! Thank you!
Yes…
….
OH!!! And one more thing… Diablo…
*tilts head*
Hm?
Well…
You have to keep in mind that…
While our pact MIGHT include that I can’t ACTUALLY harm any of the people included in it…
There’s… absolutely NOTHING prohibiting me from THREATENING to harm them…
….
Do you…
Understand what I’m saying???
You won’t have any reason to threaten them.
So…
I take it you DON’T understand..
Good…
That’s… just as well…
You…
You’ll understand in NO time…
*tilts head back*
I…would greatly appreciate if you’d explain it to me.
Why you feel the need to threaten any of them.
*the watcher’s voice sounds oddly exasperated for a moment:*
Well…
OBVIOUSLY I’m going to use the predicament of YOU not being allowed to tell Atropos about our little…
DEAL here…
To MY best ADVANTAGE!!!!
Ah…
I see…
*suddenly stumbles back a moment, eyes widen in pain and disbelief*
*snarls*
They-they killed-
*takes a breath*
*tears glisten in their eyes but they look up at the Watcher’s fly anyway*
*takes a breath*
Well…based on a move Kaelar just made…it looks like Raziel and Noa are the subjects of this deal after all.
*takes a breath, smiling, his smile crazed*
Colier’s dead.
Ah.
Good.
That makes things a LOT less complicated…
So…
Just Raziel and Noa then?
Very well, very well…
*lashes out, still grinning, crazed*
Oh? Is that fucking good to you? Of course it is…
Everyone seems so pleased with this arrangement…
Rayne didn’t want me with Colier, Via hated him but then they also hate me, Kaelar couldn’t shut up about how horrible he was-
And they took him from me-
He was killed-
I can’t even fucking avenge him.
But of course this arrangement is just good and dandy for you all!
*tears are streaming down his face*
Oh…
Come on…
You’re behaving PATHETICALLY, so called god of chaos…
What did you EXPECT from me? Compassion?
Save your tears for someone else… someone who ACTUALLY cares…
And if you insist on crying..
Then do it somewhere ELSE!!! Somewhere, where I don’t have to watch you…
It’s…
Well it’s plainly disgusting… for a being as powerful as you are…
You should have a BIT more self control….
*lets out a crazed laugh tears still rolling down their cheeks*
Oh I didn’t expect anything from you, Watcher. Where did you get that idea?
And how did you expect a god of chaos to act, hm? What’s the alternative for a ‘being as powerful as me’?
To not care? To go around detached from myself and from all other beings and living a life that is utterly boring!
What do you expect from a chaos god?!
Chaos cannot be controlled! Idiot! Why-why do you think I was forced to leave my pantheon in the first place?
Numerous beings have tried to control me in the past, it is not a fun route, believe me. No fault of mine, just my powers!
And anyways-I’m not another one of Rayne’s littler characters, I’m not that easy to be forced to do things.
This isn’t my first show, you know. So I’m afraid, much to your apparent dismay, I’ll cry over my-
*trembles slightly in fury and grief*
My fallen lover if I feel the urge to.
*smiles*
What is chaos if not impulse, am I right?
*looks pained*
And I’m already reining in my actual response to this, you should thank me. My total response would be much more destructive, even for you.
Hah…
Great monologue.
So…
Your apology for… your current behavior… relies on the fact that you…
As a god of chaos…
Can’t be controlled???
Not even by yourself??? Do I understand that correctly??
…
Well…
That’s a MASSIVE weakness my dear… you should REALLY work on that…
You’re… you’re being SO excessively pathetic… it isn’t even AMUSING anymore…
It’s just…
ONE of your lovers… right??? You still got a few left to spare… so…
What are you so UPSET about?
Mm, no, you’re confusing me with me!
*laughs*
See, there’s this me-
*gestures to themself*
The me you see, the outward appearance, the feelings, the thoughts, the physical and emotional attachments, the charming good looks-
And then…
There’s my core, which is just pure, unbiased chaos. I’ve managed to keep that in-check fair enough, though I hate to and it sort of hurts, but it’s not a weakness in the least.
Neither are attachments.
Damn, I feel sorry for you and your pathetic, empty existence truly. You don’t know what you’re missing…
Boyfriends aren’t like bubblegum or something. It’s not just ‘fine’ if one gets lost.
Gods you’re lame.
If I weren’t concerned for the well-being of Atropos, I’d burn this world down without allying with you. But…well…here we are…
Hah…
You’re… interesting…
I wish you could have gotten to know Atropos before that… mortal turned him soft…
You would have been a PERFECT couple…. spreading chaos, death and destruction wherever you went…
But… alas…
You’re too late for that, god of the “unbiased chaos core”…
And trust me…
Those attachments ARE a weakness…a massive one at that… but… I have to admit…
Since.. the breaking of attachments is my MAIN claim to power…
It’s potentially a more circumstantial weakness… but a WEAKNESS none the less!!!
*chuckles, with a slight tone of bitterness*
Sounds fun...
*sighs*
And maybe they seem like weaknesses to you...but I lived my first life doing everything in my power to avoid these weaknesses, so I could be the cat-er-being my mother wanted to force me to become...
So you see...
These 'weaknesses' are freedom for me, truly.
….
And yet you’re STILL having a mental BREAKDOWN about a guy you’ve known for…
About two months??? Give or take…
And who…
At least according to MY knowledge…Was a pretty DAMN terrible person!!!
So…
Seems like a MASSIVE weakness to ME!!! No matter what you’re trying to turn it into….
*shrugs*
See it as what you want.
I’ve lived like this since the dawn of this world and I can assure you, it has yet to prove a weakness.
I mourn because I can and because I used to be forced not to.
It’s not a weakness, it’s me rubbing in my newfound freedom!
Look, you can call it what you will but I’d ask you not to speak ill of Colier.
…
…alright…
If you absolutely MUST insist…
Then… let’s agree to disagree.. why don’t we??? I ASSURE you I’ll still get the final laugh….
But…
About Colier…
Do you REALLY expect me to LIE about what he was…
Just because he’s dead??
…
Bit weird… don’t you think???
Hey
You'll never guess all the lies that you believe.
There are a lot.
:)
Via??
That’s you right????
Well…
If you BELIEVE I’m misinformed… then…
Well…
I wouldn’t be opposed to you… updating me on the newest facts…
Mmmmmm.....
No
:)
Then…
Why are you BOTHERING me???
Up until now…
Working with the capacity of information I currently possess HAS worked out quite well for me… so…
Why should I listen to YOU????
I don’t even know whether you’re not just lying… to confuse or distract me…
Cause I might tell you if you guess!
And it has not. You just don't know it yet.
I'm not lying about you believing lies. That I swear.
You…
Might???
Are you just PLAYING with me or what???
Do you ACTUALLY expect ME to humor you here???
….
Up until now there hasn’t been a SINGLE proof that my current methods AREN’T working!!!
Fine, I will. If you manage to guess.
And there has. Just not that you've seen.
And here I thought you were supposed to see everything?
*voice strained with barely controlled anger*
I. AM….
If SOMEONE weren’t CONSTANTLY restraining me…
So…
*a long pause of the watcher just considering his options*
…oh WELL!!!
I MIGHT actually have to humor you here after all….
:D
Yay!
Good cause you don't really have another option.
Otherwise you'll continue believing lies and you'll have no idea which things you believe are untrue.
:)
*dryly*
….Haha…
Well.. so…let me guess…
There’s a secret mechanism preventing me from harming Edda in any way…
Either that… OR I’m at least… to SOME degree the reason for why you’ve taken him away?
Nope and not originally!
If you could access Edda, I would be unable to stop you from hurting him.
And I did originally take him away just cause I was mad at Colier. But it does work out well to keep him away, dosen't it?
Hah… yes…
Do you realize… just HOW much of an annoyance to my current plans Edda portrays???
He’s one of the MAIN obstacles I have to overcome to assure that my pact with Diablo goes through…
So…
It’s probably BETTER for you to… keep him away…
PERMANENTLY…
But…
Let me guess…
You.. aren’t really able to do that… are you???
I am not, no! I've already had to change the method of him being gone once. But I think I can keep him away for a while..
And I'm aware he is. Part of the reason why I've kept him gone.
However, none of that is really something I've lied about, now is it?
Yes…
But seeking clarification is NEVER unnecessary!!!
Good to know… that you’re unable to keep him away for ever… I mean…
Well..
What else could you’ve lied about..
Hmh…
Maybe the alliance with Protius…
It… won’t hold up for long…will it???
(Aaand I have to go to bed now!!! I really hope I’ll see you tomorrow!!! Good night!!!)
Uh
I actually have no control over that.
I have no idea.
It's possible that it will.
He's frustratingly good at hiding things from me.
Sleep well, Quinn!
Hmh…
That’s…
Good.
As far as I know… I won’t give him a reason to break our alliance…
So…
How about… we get back to your plans around Edda….
Shall we??
If we must.
Though that's not what I've lied to you about.
Was…
That a lie???
If not… then I’m extremely puzzled as to what you COULD have lied about…
Nope!
I have not lied in this conversation.
However, circumstances have changed.
So-
There might be more information now.
Oh well…
I’m working with Quinn’s faulty memory… AND the restrictions he placed on me here but…
Besides Edda…
Didn’t you just MOSTLY talk to me about… how you won’t let this world be destroyed??? And about your intentions to get into my way as much as possible???
I wanted to give you a chance to ask about the lies. But you don't even seem to suspect them.
Otherwise, all I've been doing is answering questions.
However, yes, I do intend to get in your way. Every step of it.
^^
Really…
Huh that’s interesting…
Well… guess what…
*the watcher’s voice starts to sound rather frustrated*
I…
I don’t even BELIEVE you’ve EVER lied to me!!! You… you’re just SAYING that to mess with me, don’t you???
To make me DOUBT myself!!!!!
Hah…
Well I’m not falling for it, Via!!!
Oh, is that so?
Well, I guess that means I'm doing a good job at this!
:)
*dryly:*
A ja… HAHA…
*mutters to himself:*
Don’t worry about it… they… they’re just trying to annoy you… nothing more… nothing more….
Oh I very much am trying to annoy you. But not 'just'
And that still dosen't change the fact that I have not lied during this conversation.
^^
*snaps*
Well and HOW should I believe YOU???
If you’re…
ADMITTING to lying in EARLIER conversations???
HOW???
I swear it. On my life- and on that of any of my characters. I have not lied during this conversation.
Everything I have told you was true at the time I told you it. Some information may have changed since, but none of it was a lie.
….
So.
Can I ask you a question…. Via???
You can, yes.
Well…
Diablo just told me that Colier died…
And… while I DON’T want to ask you HOW he managed to PERMANENTLY get out of my business….
I…
Would QUITE love to know….
Why it would make ANYONE even remotely upset? It’s…
Just as well… isn’t it?
Because nobody deserved to die like that.
And because Edda loved him. Atropos did.
He did horrible things and I hated him.
But I didn't necessarily want him dead.
Especially..
Especially not like that.
….
….
Okay I now ACTUALLY figured out how he died and…
HOLY SHIT!!!!!
I…
Uhm..,
..,.
Yeah it had absolutely NO effect on me WHATSOEVER and I’m absolutely NOT worried about the fact that….
There are beings out there who could THEORETICALLY do that and…
And I’m not WORRIED stop LOOKING at me like that!!!!!!
o°O▽O°o
Like what?
So anyway
You really don't know much, do you?
LIKE…
Like THAT!!!
Just… just eh..
STOP LOOKING!!! COMPLETELY!!! AT ALL!!! Close your EYES!!!!
And YES I might bot be all that KNOWLEDGEABLE in the moment but that’s because SOMEONE decided to tie me to him and his fucking faulty MEMORY!!!
And THEN saw it as being necessary to place FURTHER restrictions on me!!!
So STOP BLAMING ME FOR THAT!!!!!
No I like my eyes being open. I like watching.
I'm not blaming you for anything.
I'm actively trying to give you more information but you keep asking about things that don't really matter all that much.
And NOW you’re just TAUNTING me aren’t ya????
Is THAT what this is all about???
TAUNTING me????
Well… well you’ll see soon enough…. Soon enough you’ll REGRET your actions…
Just…
Wait for it…
I'm not-
... Okay, I am taunting you somewhat.
But that wasn't my main goal.
*sarcastically:*
Yeahhhh…
Because you’d OBVIOUSLY just give me new information I could use to bring about the death of all these characters you hold so dear…
At a WHIM????
Do you HONESTLY expect me to BELIEVE that????
Oh I do so many things just on a whim.
.... It's a little bit of a problem, actually.
My main goal was to make you worry about what I'm lying about, not to taunt you.
They are different.
(So sorry for the late reply!!! I COMPLETELY forgot!!!)
Ahh…
Interesting….
You see… I’m currently RATHER worried about HOW I’ll get around Quinn’s restrictions…. And…
As SOON as I accomplish that… I’ll know about any and ALL secrets you are trying to keep from me…
So…
Actually…
YOU should be worried!!!
You won't though!
I took that into account!
Quinn does not know what I am hiding from you.
:)
…
Well…
SHIT!!!
I…
I’m STILL going to be the one to get the final laugh though, VIA!!!
I’m STILL going to be the WINNER at the end of all of this!!!!
Keep telling yourself that.
Oh, and if you dare even try to hurt Noa I will personally tear your very being apart. Bit by bit. Piece by piece. Until nobody even remembers you ever existed.
^^
Uhm…
*heavily taken aback*
I…
I don’t think you can do that????? I… at least I…
Kinda hope you can’t???
And… and I won’t hurt them in any way… probably… at least not in the foreseeable future…
Hey
You'll never guess all the lies that you believe.
There are a lot.
:)
Via??
That’s you right????
Well…
If you BELIEVE I’m misinformed… then…

SHIT!!!
I…
I’m STILL going to be the one to get the final laugh though, VIA!!!
I’m STILL going to be the WINNER at the end of all of this!!!!
*a fly appears close to Diablo, its presence once again being announced by a rapid change in temperature*
*the watcher’s voice sounds more casual than usual, almost amused*
Well…
Hello there, Diablo….
@the-watching-one-offical
*turns to face the Watcher, their usual, nonchalant self*
Oh! Hello! I’d been hoping to talk to you!
Something you want?
Well…
I wanted to congratulate you!!!
You seem to have FINALLY understood whom you’re WORKING for here…
Though…
Admittedly…
I was KINDA shocked by your ENTHUSIASM!!! The fact that you fulfilled my order BEFORE I even had a chance to UTTER it…
Applause, Diablo… applause….
*looks confused for the briefest of moments before realizing*
Oh-
You mean with Yara…
That was to hurt Via for what they did to Edda, but I appreciate the praise nonetheless!
Very much so!
Now…I had something I wanted to talk to you about, if you don’t mind!
Well…
You did procure a hopefully VERY fruitful alliance for me… so…
Sure!!
Why not…
I’ll listen to what you have to say!!
Good! I mean, I probably would’ve told you anyway,
*grins*
But I thank you for your permission!
*narrows eyes, growing serious*
I want to ensure the survival of Raziel and perhaps Colier when this world is destroyed.
Edda-
*takes a few breaths, tears pricking at his eyes*
Edda mentioned you threatened to hurt Raziel a while back and so I’ve kept him hidden away for quite a long time now.
But I can assure you, I have no interest in thwarting or betraying your plan, and no reason to if you promise me Atropos, Raziel and Colier’s safety.
*remains silent for a moment*
So…
You want to tell me that you… want me to increase the amount of people I need to bring into the next world…
From ONE…
To THREE???
And… of all the people on this planet…
YOU WANT THESE TWO??!??!?
Diablo…. Your romantic tendency are…. Well… I’d say they’re… disturbingly… unique??
A lot of things about me are disturbingly unique.
*sharply, though their cheeks tinge slightly pink*
And who told you I had romantic feelings for Raziel?!
The thing is…they’re the only beings I really care about in this world.
And if I’m torn between them and Atropos…I’ll always be difficult to control. I’ll always hesitate to follow your plan.
Because you’re asking me to make an impossible choice…
But…
If you could ensure me they’d be alright…I’d have no reason not to want watch this word burn.
I have a few reasons of my own to want to make this world, as it happens.
But Raziel and Colier are holding me back from fully giving myself to your cause. Promise me that they’ll be safe and I have no reason not to help you.
Hmh…
Well… regarding your question…I… tend to hear A LOT of things… though….
*he sounds annoyed for a moment*
The CONNECTION’s been a little bit… wonky….lately.
*pauses for a moment, thinking*
Well… I can DEFINITELY assure the safe passage of that… little Angel you’re swooning over….
As long as you CAN assure me that he’ll actually be a productive asset in advancing my plans…
…so… basically you need to convince him to pull his own weight….instead of just… sitting around in doom and gloom…
But…
That Colier guy???
I… I’ll need to talk to him first…
So that I can…. See whether he’d be a danger to my cause…
*nods slowly, grinning*
That…would be great.
Colier…I don’t know if he’s even going to make it through the week so I understand if you can’t make that happen.
And I’m not swooning over Raziel, but I’ll find a way that he can be helpful to your cause, if it means he can come with us!
But you know he’s bound to Heaven, do you not?
*hesitates*
And I’m assuming you still don’t want me to tell Atropos about this?
Well…
*with a slight hint of amusement in his voice*
You’re swooning as long as I say that you are… and you are DEFINITELY swooning over Raziel…
But yes…
Heaven…shouldn’t be much of an issue….
And…
Well OBVIOUSLY I don’t want you to tell Atropos!!! That would… cancel out our WHOLE deal….
*rolls eyes and folds arms*
Yeah, yeah, whatever you say.
And I won’t tell him…
And…one more thing…
*grins*
Last one, I promise!
if Colier can’t be part of the deal, I want someone to replace him.
Hmh…
I… guess you’re talking about that… child god??
…Noa…
Right????
Well… if that is the case… then…
It CAN be done!!!! Though… only under the same condition that applies with Raziel…
They HAVE to be USEFUL!!!
*surprised that he knows, but grins*
Very well! I’ll see to it that she is! Thank you!
Yes…
….
OH!!! And one more thing… Diablo…
*tilts head*
Hm?
Well…
You have to keep in mind that…
While our pact MIGHT include that I can’t ACTUALLY harm any of the people included in it…
There’s… absolutely NOTHING prohibiting me from THREATENING to harm them…
….
Do you…
Understand what I’m saying???
You won’t have any reason to threaten them.
So…
I take it you DON’T understand..
Good…
That’s… just as well…
You…
You’ll understand in NO time…
*tilts head back*
I…would greatly appreciate if you’d explain it to me.
Why you feel the need to threaten any of them.
*the watcher’s voice sounds oddly exasperated for a moment:*
Well…
OBVIOUSLY I’m going to use the predicament of YOU not being allowed to tell Atropos about our little…
DEAL here…
To MY best ADVANTAGE!!!!
Ah…
I see…
*suddenly stumbles back a moment, eyes widen in pain and disbelief*
*snarls*
They-they killed-
*takes a breath*
*tears glisten in their eyes but they look up at the Watcher’s fly anyway*
*takes a breath*
Well…based on a move Kaelar just made…it looks like Raziel and Noa are the subjects of this deal after all.
*takes a breath, smiling, his smile crazed*
Colier’s dead.
Ah.
Good.
That makes things a LOT less complicated…
So…
Just Raziel and Noa then?
Very well, very well…
*lashes out, still grinning, crazed*
Oh? Is that fucking good to you? Of course it is…
Everyone seems so pleased with this arrangement…
Rayne didn’t want me with Colier, Via hated him but then they also hate me, Kaelar couldn’t shut up about how horrible he was-
And they took him from me-
He was killed-
I can’t even fucking avenge him.
But of course this arrangement is just good and dandy for you all!
*tears are streaming down his face*
Oh…
Come on…
You’re behaving PATHETICALLY, so called god of chaos…
What did you EXPECT from me? Compassion?
Save your tears for someone else… someone who ACTUALLY cares…
And if you insist on crying..
Then do it somewhere ELSE!!! Somewhere, where I don’t have to watch you…
It’s…
Well it’s plainly disgusting… for a being as powerful as you are…
You should have a BIT more self control….
*lets out a crazed laugh tears still rolling down their cheeks*
Oh I didn’t expect anything from you, Watcher. Where did you get that idea?
And how did you expect a god of chaos to act, hm? What’s the alternative for a ‘being as powerful as me’?
To not care? To go around detached from myself and from all other beings and living a life that is utterly boring!
What do you expect from a chaos god?!
Chaos cannot be controlled! Idiot! Why-why do you think I was forced to leave my pantheon in the first place?
Numerous beings have tried to control me in the past, it is not a fun route, believe me. No fault of mine, just my powers!
And anyways-I’m not another one of Rayne’s littler characters, I’m not that easy to be forced to do things.
This isn’t my first show, you know. So I’m afraid, much to your apparent dismay, I’ll cry over my-
*trembles slightly in fury and grief*
My fallen lover if I feel the urge to.
*smiles*
What is chaos if not impulse, am I right?
*looks pained*
And I’m already reining in my actual response to this, you should thank me. My total response would be much more destructive, even for you.
Hah…
Great monologue.
So…
Your apology for… your current behavior… relies on the fact that you…
As a god of chaos…
Can’t be controlled???
Not even by yourself??? Do I understand that correctly??
…
Well…
That’s a MASSIVE weakness my dear… you should REALLY work on that…
You’re… you’re being SO excessively pathetic… it isn’t even AMUSING anymore…
It’s just…
ONE of your lovers… right??? You still got a few left to spare… so…
What are you so UPSET about?
Mm, no, you’re confusing me with me!
*laughs*
See, there’s this me-
*gestures to themself*
The me you see, the outward appearance, the feelings, the thoughts, the physical and emotional attachments, the charming good looks-
And then…
There’s my core, which is just pure, unbiased chaos. I’ve managed to keep that in-check fair enough, though I hate to and it sort of hurts, but it’s not a weakness in the least.
Neither are attachments.
Damn, I feel sorry for you and your pathetic, empty existence truly. You don’t know what you’re missing…
Boyfriends aren’t like bubblegum or something. It’s not just ‘fine’ if one gets lost.
Gods you’re lame.
If I weren’t concerned for the well-being of Atropos, I’d burn this world down without allying with you. But…well…here we are…
Hah…
You’re… interesting…
I wish you could have gotten to know Atropos before that… mortal turned him soft…
You would have been a PERFECT couple…. spreading chaos, death and destruction wherever you went…
But… alas…
You’re too late for that, god of the “unbiased chaos core”…
And trust me…
Those attachments ARE a weakness…a massive one at that… but… I have to admit…
Since.. the breaking of attachments is my MAIN claim to power…
It’s potentially a more circumstantial weakness… but a WEAKNESS none the less!!!
*chuckles, with a slight tone of bitterness*
Sounds fun...
*sighs*
And maybe they seem like weaknesses to you...but I lived my first life doing everything in my power to avoid these weaknesses, so I could be the cat-er-being my mother wanted to force me to become...
So you see...
These 'weaknesses' are freedom for me, truly.
….
And yet you’re STILL having a mental BREAKDOWN about a guy you’ve known for…
About two months??? Give or take…
And who…
At least according to MY knowledge…Was a pretty DAMN terrible person!!!
So…
Seems like a MASSIVE weakness to ME!!! No matter what you’re trying to turn it into….
Hey
You'll never guess all the lies that you believe.
There are a lot.
:)
Via??
That’s you right????
Well…
If you BELIEVE I’m misinformed… then…
Well…
I wouldn’t be opposed to you… updating me on the newest facts…
Mmmmmm.....
No
:)
Then…
Why are you BOTHERING me???
Up until now…
Working with the capacity of information I currently possess HAS worked out quite well for me… so…
Why should I listen to YOU????
I don’t even know whether you’re not just lying… to confuse or distract me…
Cause I might tell you if you guess!
And it has not. You just don't know it yet.
I'm not lying about you believing lies. That I swear.
You…
Might???
Are you just PLAYING with me or what???
Do you ACTUALLY expect ME to humor you here???
….
Up until now there hasn’t been a SINGLE proof that my current methods AREN’T working!!!
Fine, I will. If you manage to guess.
And there has. Just not that you've seen.
And here I thought you were supposed to see everything?
*voice strained with barely controlled anger*
I. AM….
If SOMEONE weren’t CONSTANTLY restraining me…
So…
*a long pause of the watcher just considering his options*
…oh WELL!!!
I MIGHT actually have to humor you here after all….
:D
Yay!
Good cause you don't really have another option.
Otherwise you'll continue believing lies and you'll have no idea which things you believe are untrue.
:)
*dryly*
….Haha…
Well.. so…let me guess…
There’s a secret mechanism preventing me from harming Edda in any way…
Either that… OR I’m at least… to SOME degree the reason for why you’ve taken him away?
Nope and not originally!
If you could access Edda, I would be unable to stop you from hurting him.
And I did originally take him away just cause I was mad at Colier. But it does work out well to keep him away, dosen't it?
Hah… yes…
Do you realize… just HOW much of an annoyance to my current plans Edda portrays???
He’s one of the MAIN obstacles I have to overcome to assure that my pact with Diablo goes through…
So…
It’s probably BETTER for you to… keep him away…
PERMANENTLY…
But…
Let me guess…
You.. aren’t really able to do that… are you???
I am not, no! I've already had to change the method of him being gone once. But I think I can keep him away for a while..
And I'm aware he is. Part of the reason why I've kept him gone.
However, none of that is really something I've lied about, now is it?
Yes…
But seeking clarification is NEVER unnecessary!!!
Good to know… that you’re unable to keep him away for ever… I mean…
Well..
What else could you’ve lied about..
Hmh…
Maybe the alliance with Protius…
It… won’t hold up for long…will it???
(Aaand I have to go to bed now!!! I really hope I’ll see you tomorrow!!! Good night!!!)
Uh
I actually have no control over that.
I have no idea.
It's possible that it will.
He's frustratingly good at hiding things from me.
Sleep well, Quinn!
Hmh…
That’s…
Good.
As far as I know… I won’t give him a reason to break our alliance…
So…
How about… we get back to your plans around Edda….
Shall we??
If we must.
Though that's not what I've lied to you about.
Was…
That a lie???
If not… then I’m extremely puzzled as to what you COULD have lied about…
Nope!
I have not lied in this conversation.
However, circumstances have changed.
So-
There might be more information now.
Oh well…
I’m working with Quinn’s faulty memory… AND the restrictions he placed on me here but…
Besides Edda…
Didn’t you just MOSTLY talk to me about… how you won’t let this world be destroyed??? And about your intentions to get into my way as much as possible???
I wanted to give you a chance to ask about the lies. But you don't even seem to suspect them.
Otherwise, all I've been doing is answering questions.
However, yes, I do intend to get in your way. Every step of it.
^^
Really…
Huh that’s interesting…
Well… guess what…
*the watcher’s voice starts to sound rather frustrated*
I…
I don’t even BELIEVE you’ve EVER lied to me!!! You… you’re just SAYING that to mess with me, don’t you???
To make me DOUBT myself!!!!!
Hah…
Well I’m not falling for it, Via!!!
Oh, is that so?
Well, I guess that means I'm doing a good job at this!
:)
*dryly:*
A ja… HAHA…
*mutters to himself:*
Don’t worry about it… they… they’re just trying to annoy you… nothing more… nothing more….
Oh I very much am trying to annoy you. But not 'just'
And that still dosen't change the fact that I have not lied during this conversation.
^^
*snaps*
Well and HOW should I believe YOU???
If you’re…
ADMITTING to lying in EARLIER conversations???
HOW???
I swear it. On my life- and on that of any of my characters. I have not lied during this conversation.
Everything I have told you was true at the time I told you it. Some information may have changed since, but none of it was a lie.
….
So.
Can I ask you a question…. Via???
You can, yes.
Well…
Diablo just told me that Colier died…
And… while I DON’T want to ask you HOW he managed to PERMANENTLY get out of my business….
I…
Would QUITE love to know….
Why it would make ANYONE even remotely upset? It’s…
Just as well… isn’t it?
Because nobody deserved to die like that.
And because Edda loved him. Atropos did.
He did horrible things and I hated him.
But I didn't necessarily want him dead.
Especially..
Especially not like that.
….
….
Okay I now ACTUALLY figured out how he died and…
HOLY SHIT!!!!!
I…
Uhm..,
..,.
Yeah it had absolutely NO effect on me WHATSOEVER and I’m absolutely NOT worried about the fact that….
There are beings out there who could THEORETICALLY do that and…
And I’m not WORRIED stop LOOKING at me like that!!!!!!
o°O▽O°o
Like what?
So anyway
You really don't know much, do you?
LIKE…
Like THAT!!!
Just… just eh..
STOP LOOKING!!! COMPLETELY!!! AT ALL!!! Close your EYES!!!!
And YES I might bot be all that KNOWLEDGEABLE in the moment but that’s because SOMEONE decided to tie me to him and his fucking faulty MEMORY!!!
And THEN saw it as being necessary to place FURTHER restrictions on me!!!
So STOP BLAMING ME FOR THAT!!!!!
No I like my eyes being open. I like watching.
I'm not blaming you for anything.
I'm actively trying to give you more information but you keep asking about things that don't really matter all that much.
And NOW you’re just TAUNTING me aren’t ya????
Is THAT what this is all about???
TAUNTING me????
Well… well you’ll see soon enough…. Soon enough you’ll REGRET your actions…
Just…
Wait for it…
I'm not-
... Okay, I am taunting you somewhat.
But that wasn't my main goal.
*sarcastically:*
Yeahhhh…
Because you’d OBVIOUSLY just give me new information I could use to bring about the death of all these characters you hold so dear…
At a WHIM????
Do you HONESTLY expect me to BELIEVE that????
Oh I do so many things just on a whim.
.... It's a little bit of a problem, actually.
My main goal was to make you worry about what I'm lying about, not to taunt you.
They are different.
(So sorry for the late reply!!! I COMPLETELY forgot!!!)
Ahh…
Interesting….
You see… I’m currently RATHER worried about HOW I’ll get around Quinn’s restrictions…. And…
As SOON as I accomplish that… I’ll know about any and ALL secrets you are trying to keep from me…
So…
Actually…
YOU should be worried!!!
Hey
You'll never guess all the lies that you believe.
There are a lot.
:)
Via??
That’s you right????
Well…
If you BELIEVE I’m misinformed… then…

*a long pause of the watcher just considering his options*
…oh WELL!!!
I MIGHT actually have to humor you here after all….
:D
Yay!
Good cause you don't really have another option.
Otherwise you'll continue believing lies and you'll have no idea which things you believe are untrue.
:)
*dryly*
….Haha…
Well.. so…let me guess…
There’s a secret mechanism preventing me from harming Edda in any way…
Either that… OR I’m at least… to SOME degree the reason for why you’ve taken him away?
Nope and not originally!
If you could access Edda, I would be unable to stop you from hurting him.
And I did originally take him away just cause I was mad at Colier. But it does work out well to keep him away, dosen't it?
Hah… yes…
Do you realize… just HOW much of an annoyance to my current plans Edda portrays???
He’s one of the MAIN obstacles I have to overcome to assure that my pact with Diablo goes through…
So…
It’s probably BETTER for you to… keep him away…
PERMANENTLY…
But…
Let me guess…
You.. aren’t really able to do that… are you???
I am not, no! I've already had to change the method of him being gone once. But I think I can keep him away for a while..
And I'm aware he is. Part of the reason why I've kept him gone.
However, none of that is really something I've lied about, now is it?
Yes…
But seeking clarification is NEVER unnecessary!!!
Good to know… that you’re unable to keep him away for ever… I mean…
Well..
What else could you’ve lied about..
Hmh…
Maybe the alliance with Protius…
It… won’t hold up for long…will it???
(Aaand I have to go to bed now!!! I really hope I’ll see you tomorrow!!! Good night!!!)
Uh
I actually have no control over that.
I have no idea.
It's possible that it will.
He's frustratingly good at hiding things from me.
Sleep well, Quinn!
Hmh…
That’s…
Good.
As far as I know… I won’t give him a reason to break our alliance…
So…
How about… we get back to your plans around Edda….
Shall we??
If we must.
Though that's not what I've lied to you about.
Was…
That a lie???
If not… then I’m extremely puzzled as to what you COULD have lied about…
Nope!
I have not lied in this conversation.
However, circumstances have changed.
So-
There might be more information now.
Oh well…
I’m working with Quinn’s faulty memory… AND the restrictions he placed on me here but…
Besides Edda…
Didn’t you just MOSTLY talk to me about… how you won’t let this world be destroyed??? And about your intentions to get into my way as much as possible???
I wanted to give you a chance to ask about the lies. But you don't even seem to suspect them.
Otherwise, all I've been doing is answering questions.
However, yes, I do intend to get in your way. Every step of it.
^^
Really…
Huh that’s interesting…
Well… guess what…
*the watcher’s voice starts to sound rather frustrated*
I…
I don’t even BELIEVE you’ve EVER lied to me!!! You… you’re just SAYING that to mess with me, don’t you???
To make me DOUBT myself!!!!!
Hah…
Well I’m not falling for it, Via!!!
Oh, is that so?
Well, I guess that means I'm doing a good job at this!
:)
*dryly:*
A ja… HAHA…
*mutters to himself:*
Don’t worry about it… they… they’re just trying to annoy you… nothing more… nothing more….
Oh I very much am trying to annoy you. But not 'just'
And that still dosen't change the fact that I have not lied during this conversation.
^^
*snaps*
Well and HOW should I believe YOU???
If you’re…
ADMITTING to lying in EARLIER conversations???
HOW???
I swear it. On my life- and on that of any of my characters. I have not lied during this conversation.
Everything I have told you was true at the time I told you it. Some information may have changed since, but none of it was a lie.
….
So.
Can I ask you a question…. Via???
You can, yes.
Well…
Diablo just told me that Colier died…
And… while I DON’T want to ask you HOW he managed to PERMANENTLY get out of my business….
I…
Would QUITE love to know….
Why it would make ANYONE even remotely upset? It’s…
Just as well… isn’t it?
Because nobody deserved to die like that.
And because Edda loved him. Atropos did.
He did horrible things and I hated him.
But I didn't necessarily want him dead.
Especially..
Especially not like that.
….
….
Okay I now ACTUALLY figured out how he died and…
HOLY SHIT!!!!!
I…
Uhm..,
..,.
Yeah it had absolutely NO effect on me WHATSOEVER and I’m absolutely NOT worried about the fact that….
There are beings out there who could THEORETICALLY do that and…
And I’m not WORRIED stop LOOKING at me like that!!!!!!
o°O▽O°o
Like what?
So anyway
You really don't know much, do you?
LIKE…
Like THAT!!!
Just… just eh..
STOP LOOKING!!! COMPLETELY!!! AT ALL!!! Close your EYES!!!!
And YES I might bot be all that KNOWLEDGEABLE in the moment but that’s because SOMEONE decided to tie me to him and his fucking faulty MEMORY!!!
And THEN saw it as being necessary to place FURTHER restrictions on me!!!
So STOP BLAMING ME FOR THAT!!!!!
*a fly appears close to Diablo, its presence once again being announced by a rapid change in temperature*
*the watcher’s voice sounds more casual than usual, almost amused*
Well…
Hello there, Diablo….
@the-watching-one-offical
*turns to face the Watcher, their usual, nonchalant self*
Oh! Hello! I’d been hoping to talk to you!
Something you want?
Well…
I wanted to congratulate you!!!
You seem to have FINALLY understood whom you’re WORKING for here…
Though…
Admittedly…
I was KINDA shocked by your ENTHUSIASM!!! The fact that you fulfilled my order BEFORE I even had a chance to UTTER it…
Applause, Diablo… applause….
*looks confused for the briefest of moments before realizing*
Oh-
You mean with Yara…
That was to hurt Via for what they did to Edda, but I appreciate the praise nonetheless!
Very much so!
Now…I had something I wanted to talk to you about, if you don’t mind!
Well…
You did procure a hopefully VERY fruitful alliance for me… so…
Sure!!
Why not…
I’ll listen to what you have to say!!
Good! I mean, I probably would’ve told you anyway,
*grins*
But I thank you for your permission!
*narrows eyes, growing serious*
I want to ensure the survival of Raziel and perhaps Colier when this world is destroyed.
Edda-
*takes a few breaths, tears pricking at his eyes*
Edda mentioned you threatened to hurt Raziel a while back and so I’ve kept him hidden away for quite a long time now.
But I can assure you, I have no interest in thwarting or betraying your plan, and no reason to if you promise me Atropos, Raziel and Colier’s safety.
*remains silent for a moment*
So…
You want to tell me that you… want me to increase the amount of people I need to bring into the next world…
From ONE…
To THREE???
And… of all the people on this planet…
YOU WANT THESE TWO??!??!?
Diablo…. Your romantic tendency are…. Well… I’d say they’re… disturbingly… unique??
A lot of things about me are disturbingly unique.
*sharply, though their cheeks tinge slightly pink*
And who told you I had romantic feelings for Raziel?!
The thing is…they’re the only beings I really care about in this world.
And if I’m torn between them and Atropos…I’ll always be difficult to control. I’ll always hesitate to follow your plan.
Because you’re asking me to make an impossible choice…
But…
If you could ensure me they’d be alright…I’d have no reason not to want watch this word burn.
I have a few reasons of my own to want to make this world, as it happens.
But Raziel and Colier are holding me back from fully giving myself to your cause. Promise me that they’ll be safe and I have no reason not to help you.
Hmh…
Well… regarding your question…I… tend to hear A LOT of things… though….
*he sounds annoyed for a moment*
The CONNECTION’s been a little bit… wonky….lately.
*pauses for a moment, thinking*
Well… I can DEFINITELY assure the safe passage of that… little Angel you’re swooning over….
As long as you CAN assure me that he’ll actually be a productive asset in advancing my plans…
…so… basically you need to convince him to pull his own weight….instead of just… sitting around in doom and gloom…
But…
That Colier guy???
I… I’ll need to talk to him first…
So that I can…. See whether he’d be a danger to my cause…
*nods slowly, grinning*
That…would be great.
Colier…I don’t know if he’s even going to make it through the week so I understand if you can’t make that happen.
And I’m not swooning over Raziel, but I’ll find a way that he can be helpful to your cause, if it means he can come with us!
But you know he’s bound to Heaven, do you not?
*hesitates*
And I’m assuming you still don’t want me to tell Atropos about this?
Well…
*with a slight hint of amusement in his voice*
You’re swooning as long as I say that you are… and you are DEFINITELY swooning over Raziel…
But yes…
Heaven…shouldn’t be much of an issue….
And…
Well OBVIOUSLY I don’t want you to tell Atropos!!! That would… cancel out our WHOLE deal….
*rolls eyes and folds arms*
Yeah, yeah, whatever you say.
And I won’t tell him…
And…one more thing…
*grins*
Last one, I promise!
if Colier can’t be part of the deal, I want someone to replace him.
Hmh…
I… guess you’re talking about that… child god??
…Noa…
Right????
Well… if that is the case… then…
It CAN be done!!!! Though… only under the same condition that applies with Raziel…
They HAVE to be USEFUL!!!
*surprised that he knows, but grins*
Very well! I’ll see to it that she is! Thank you!
Yes…
….
OH!!! And one more thing… Diablo…
*tilts head*
Hm?
Well…
You have to keep in mind that…
While our pact MIGHT include that I can’t ACTUALLY harm any of the people included in it…
There’s… absolutely NOTHING prohibiting me from THREATENING to harm them…
….
Do you…
Understand what I’m saying???
You won’t have any reason to threaten them.
So…
I take it you DON’T understand..
Good…
That’s… just as well…
You…
You’ll understand in NO time…
*tilts head back*
I…would greatly appreciate if you’d explain it to me.
Why you feel the need to threaten any of them.
*the watcher’s voice sounds oddly exasperated for a moment:*
Well…
OBVIOUSLY I’m going to use the predicament of YOU not being allowed to tell Atropos about our little…
DEAL here…
To MY best ADVANTAGE!!!!
Ah…
I see…
*suddenly stumbles back a moment, eyes widen in pain and disbelief*
*snarls*
They-they killed-
*takes a breath*
*tears glisten in their eyes but they look up at the Watcher’s fly anyway*
*takes a breath*
Well…based on a move Kaelar just made…it looks like Raziel and Noa are the subjects of this deal after all.
*takes a breath, smiling, his smile crazed*
Colier’s dead.
Ah.
Good.
That makes things a LOT less complicated…
So…
Just Raziel and Noa then?
Very well, very well…
*lashes out, still grinning, crazed*
Oh? Is that fucking good to you? Of course it is…
Everyone seems so pleased with this arrangement…
Rayne didn’t want me with Colier, Via hated him but then they also hate me, Kaelar couldn’t shut up about how horrible he was-
And they took him from me-
He was killed-
I can’t even fucking avenge him.
But of course this arrangement is just good and dandy for you all!
*tears are streaming down his face*
Oh…
Come on…
You’re behaving PATHETICALLY, so called god of chaos…
What did you EXPECT from me? Compassion?
Save your tears for someone else… someone who ACTUALLY cares…
And if you insist on crying..
Then do it somewhere ELSE!!! Somewhere, where I don’t have to watch you…
It’s…
Well it’s plainly disgusting… for a being as powerful as you are…
You should have a BIT more self control….
*lets out a crazed laugh tears still rolling down their cheeks*
Oh I didn’t expect anything from you, Watcher. Where did you get that idea?
And how did you expect a god of chaos to act, hm? What’s the alternative for a ‘being as powerful as me’?
To not care? To go around detached from myself and from all other beings and living a life that is utterly boring!
What do you expect from a chaos god?!
Chaos cannot be controlled! Idiot! Why-why do you think I was forced to leave my pantheon in the first place?
Numerous beings have tried to control me in the past, it is not a fun route, believe me. No fault of mine, just my powers!
And anyways-I’m not another one of Rayne’s littler characters, I’m not that easy to be forced to do things.
This isn’t my first show, you know. So I’m afraid, much to your apparent dismay, I’ll cry over my-
*trembles slightly in fury and grief*
My fallen lover if I feel the urge to.
*smiles*
What is chaos if not impulse, am I right?
*looks pained*
And I’m already reining in my actual response to this, you should thank me. My total response would be much more destructive, even for you.
Hah…
Great monologue.
So…
Your apology for… your current behavior… relies on the fact that you…
As a god of chaos…
Can’t be controlled???
Not even by yourself??? Do I understand that correctly??
…
Well…
That’s a MASSIVE weakness my dear… you should REALLY work on that…
You’re… you’re being SO excessively pathetic… it isn’t even AMUSING anymore…
It’s just…
ONE of your lovers… right??? You still got a few left to spare… so…
What are you so UPSET about?
Mm, no, you’re confusing me with me!
*laughs*
See, there’s this me-
*gestures to themself*
The me you see, the outward appearance, the feelings, the thoughts, the physical and emotional attachments, the charming good looks-
And then…
There’s my core, which is just pure, unbiased chaos. I’ve managed to keep that in-check fair enough, though I hate to and it sort of hurts, but it’s not a weakness in the least.
Neither are attachments.
Damn, I feel sorry for you and your pathetic, empty existence truly. You don’t know what you’re missing…
Boyfriends aren’t like bubblegum or something. It’s not just ‘fine’ if one gets lost.
Gods you’re lame.
If I weren’t concerned for the well-being of Atropos, I’d burn this world down without allying with you. But…well…here we are…
Hah…
You’re… interesting…
I wish you could have gotten to know Atropos before that… mortal turned him soft…
You would have been a PERFECT couple…. spreading chaos, death and destruction wherever you went…
But… alas…
You’re too late for that, god of the “unbiased chaos core”…
And trust me…
Those attachments ARE a weakness…a massive one at that… but… I have to admit…
Since.. the breaking of attachments is my MAIN claim to power…
It’s potentially a more circumstantial weakness… but a WEAKNESS none the less!!!
