HARD QUESTIONS MEME - ( open ! )
@edeneyed asked 16 ( Have you ever contemplated killing someone? Who and why? Would you ever act on it? Are you frightened you might? )
“when you’re stuck in a void of nothingness, trapped for the rest of eternity, you have a lot of time to think. it’s nothing but time and your thoughts,,” he says. there’s a noticeable lack of expression on his face. his emotions are unreadable. eyes leave the other’s, looking out into the bright streets around him filled with life and death, unlike the trap he resided in for most, if not all, of his life. “you have a lot of time to reflect upon your situation, who put you there, and what you wish to do as soon as you leave.”
“i’ve contemplated killing them all,” he says, every word enunciated with hate. his voice never raises, but the seething rage underneath evident as he continues, “the gods enjoying their lives in takamagahara, the ones who banded together to lock me for eternity deserve death, do they not? apt vengeance for the countless millenniums i spent wasting away.” he closes his eyes and... sighs.
a smile returns, all the spite gone as quickly as it had come. “but that would be too easy, wouldn’t it?” he asks gently, a tilt of his head, searching for the other’s agreement. “no, i would not act on their murders, not because i’m frightened. i merely want them to suffer for as long as i have, if not more. i would not hesitate if given the opportunity.”
and 17 ( Have you ever gotten sheer joy out of hurting someone else, either physically or mentally? To whom and why? Did it scare you? )
“hmmm~” he thinks about this one. eventually, he replies, “i’ve had little opportunity to do so.” again, the woes of captivity -- only able to experience things though a tiny window created from the greed of the minamoto clan. at the end, there’s only so much he can see. there’s nearly nothing he can do without a proper catalyst.
“i like seeing people at their lowest, at the brink of giving up. i enjoy seeing their despair. i enjoy seeing them in chaos. admittedly, hurting them is not what i find amusing,” he idly waves his hand, eyes wandering away, staring at nothing in particular. he continues, telling a tale from a lengthy, but ultimately limited, past, “once, my power flowed into a miko, hurting her, breaking her from the inside,” he speaks calmly. “i did not find it pleasurable to hear her screams, watch her as her body decayed. if anything, i felt impatient that she suffered for so long before she finally became what i wanted to see -- a mere conduit for my eventual, inevitable escape.”
and 18 ( Have you ever done something morally wrong? If it’s morally wrong do you regret it? )
“morals are a human construct and even subjective per human,” he says, a lack of derision in his voice. he states facts without any malice. “as a god, i am beyond the morals than humans place on themselves. simply put, all my actions are just, incapable of being judged by human standards.” he turns to face the person who asked him such a question, treating them like a child who does not understand the way of gods, the will of the heavens above them.
“if you want me to answer as if i cared about that morality you speak of, as if it applied -- then yes, i have done some things many humans would consider morally wrong. i have lied. i have manipulated. i have killed,” he says, listing that like how would list their groceries, blandly and bluntly. “but i am not human. do not subject me to those morals.”
“you can figure out for yourself if i have any regrets over those actions. i will not insult your intelligence, human.”
