Re: LAUNDRY

[sancrimony]

Unless you plan on doing something else, I am simply making conversation.

Re: LAUNDRY

[innerdaemons]

I wonder.

Do you intend to seek vengeance?

Re: LAUNDRY

[sancrimony]

[ knitting his brows together, honestly just disgusted further by the idea ]

—You, so loathsome and lowly in your thought. Vengeance is base, begetting only more harm. I shall do no such thing. I will not stoop to such a Godless act.

Re: LAUNDRY

[innerdaemons]

But you will incinerate my corpse? For what reason -- for what purpose? Cleanliness?

Re: LAUNDRY

[sancrimony]

Harm reduction.

[ simply. ]

Re: LAUNDRY

[innerdaemons]

And what harm will a corpse do?

Re: LAUNDRY

[sancrimony]

Well, I would hardly want . . .

[ gestures to the

entirety of absinthe ]

This, to be infectious.

Re: LAUNDRY

[innerdaemons]

[ -- laughs! ]

Oh, I cannot infect others. As much as that would be of use.

Re: LAUNDRY

[sancrimony]

You would use it, wouldn't you?

[ just, in a repulsed tone ]

Re: LAUNDRY

[innerdaemons]

And why not? If it is a tool I have at my disposal, why not put it to use?

One must be versatile to achieve one's goals, after all.

Re: LAUNDRY

[sancrimony]

And just what goal would that be a useful tool for?

Re: LAUNDRY

[innerdaemons]

Reducing people to the mindless creatures they are in body to match their mind.

Re: LAUNDRY

[sancrimony]

[ WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU

JUST COMPLETELY SPEECHLESS! WHAT THE FUCK! ]

Re: LAUNDRY

[innerdaemons]

[ -- he laughs, at how offended/shocked Lucifel looks ]

It's not an appealing thought to you, is it?

Re: LAUNDRY

[sancrimony]

Why would anyone find that appealing!?

Re: LAUNDRY

[innerdaemons]

Baritones would understand, of course. But the rest of you ... you're all very short-sighted.

Re: LAUNDRY

[sancrimony]

And in your long sight, what do you see?

Re: LAUNDRY

[innerdaemons]

[ he laughs ]

You would not like to guess?

Re: LAUNDRY

[sancrimony]

If it is as you say and I am short-sighted, then I would not want to assume to know.

Re: LAUNDRY

[innerdaemons]

Well -- it is only right for the ones who have worked their way upwards, to rule over the mindless masses. It is not as if they can govern themselves.

Re: LAUNDRY

[sancrimony]

[ oh




oh, i just hate you ]

. . . And, just what work have you put in? What differentiates you from me?

Re: LAUNDRY

[innerdaemons]

[ sigh! ]

It would almost be exhausting to list. The feet I've had to kiss -- the egos I have had to soothe to gain the slightest bit of favor. To have them on my side.

While the likes of you, I assume, would prefer to be freely given what you feel you deserve.

Re: LAUNDRY

. . . All we wanted . . .

The only thing we ever wanted was to be allowed to live. To be treated as humans—paying tax was fine, until they taxed us to the point that we could not survive. Being ostracized was fine, until they started to torture us for entertainment, as punishment for our differing faiths.

To do the hard labor of working for our food, of building our own shelters—that would all have been fine, were we allowed to do so in peace.

Is that too much to ask for? Do we not deserve to be treated as human? To be allowed to live, without having our own hard earnings taken away from us to such a degree that we would starve—only for that demand to grow, while we suffered?

Re: LAUNDRY

[innerdaemons]

-- Ah.

Of course. This would be bringing up unpleasant memories for you, hmm? You would be quite used to being treated as the vermin you are.

Re: LAUNDRY

[sancrimony]

The countless hours of work they did—the countless times we were scorned, made animals to jeer at, the countless number of people who simply tried to live, only to lose their lives because—what?

Just what differentiates us? The feet we've had to kiss, the times we've had to bow—not for any favor, but simply to be allowed to exist—

Just what makes you different? Just how did we ask for too much?
