oh, really, buddy. okay. fine. here you go. you be the mod. ]
I present to you a dilemma.
A dark god whose most cherished dream is of conflict and destruction without end, chooses to vent that rage out upon a gentle goddess.
He steals away from many worlds the most wicked, most violent, most cruel, to serve as his compliment. Sets them upon her. Her only choice is beggar the aid of some brave, kind souls, across the cosmos, in return.
The lives of their soldiers depend upon the both of them. But when the goddess falls, the dark god resets the board to nil, the death to life, and demands they go again.
[ thinks about laying in the roots of the iifa tree and hearing the words, no one's useless.
feels something. minuet, you're going to have help him Name That Emotion here, because angel devil is very stupid about feelings. it feels painful and it feels sad and it feels like sand is going through his fingers and that he wishes he'd felt it so, so sooner and that, if he was so lucky, he'd never forget it again. ]

Twenty years I've done that and I am still learning mystifying new rituals.

How unsympathetic of you, Minuet~. So unwilling to share the wisdom of age with us young studies.
Re: 2/2

What was that?
Re: 2/2
What was what? See something behind me?
[ makes a show of looking ]
Re: 2/2
Maybe I misunderstood... do you have a human lifespan?
Re: 2/2
My own body is unaffected by the ravages of time, and shall live forever lest it is killed by other sources than senescence.
[ but there's a sense of separation between that 'body' and that 'self.' ]

. . . I'm sure we could do something about it.
Re: 2/2
Could you, now. I should dearly like to see the day!
[ don't want to die don't want to die don't want to die but so so tired so tired so tired, should i really fight so hard to avoid it after all?
it'd be so easy to wait and let it happen and no longer have to bear under the weight of this. ]

Kind of internally wigs out when that's blasted directly into his head, actually? Full-blown adrenaline panic, dude. ]

. . . Your shepherd told you about the wishes, right?
Re: 2/2
Yes.
And I require mine for a different purpose.
Re: 2/2
More important than your life?
Re: 2/2
...The life of one single, wanton, murderous madman...
Versus the lives of a score of innocents, dragged into an endless war that was never theirs?

Re: 2/2
[ aaaaaaanyway ]
That doesn't mean it's your only option.
Re: 2/2
My wish to save those people means others will die, you know~. Their foes.
I'm still fitting the bill.
[ this one is 100% truth. ]
Re: 2/2
Sounds like that could easily be avoided with a little wish wording tweaking.
