idolpro | Lucifel's Ideal World, v.2

—The world is ugly, he once declared.

Chaos is inevitable in this world. Pure good can’t be achieved, and pure evil breaks down. And these two extremes are always incompatible with each other. There is still some evil in a good world. That is how the world is, and it is what continues to create ugly things. Evil sneers at good, and good rages over evil. But, in a world where good and evil oppose each other, there is a group that is far more numerous that always appears.

That is ‘grey’. Neither good nor evil. A group that drifts through life haphazardly and merely exists. They don’t believe in goodness and are simply proud that they aren’t evil. Even though they affirm evil acts, they deny evil intentions. They happily say that ‘I am not evil, I am a good person’ and pardon all forms of cruelty.

They kill people while sneering. They kill people out of contempt. They kill people as part of a game. They use the excuse that they can’t restrain their desires—That’s how humans are. That’s how the world is.

Yes—this world is extremely ugly. Neither dyed by good nor fallen into evil. Unable to decide on a color, the wills of people continue to waver. As long as such evil intentions and such foul-smelling corpses aren’t destroyed.

The world will surely continue to rot eternally.

While wrapped within a curse-like fog in darkness frozen to its core.

He thus concluded.

Powers are off.
Corruptions are off.
Carry-on Weapons are not available.
Other carry-on items are available.

[...knocking on the doorframe.]

Hello.

[ In the house, you can hear idle chatter, a young woman talking about something, or maybe nothing at all—but upon hearing the knock, she stops. ]

—Coming!

[ a young woman comes into view. ]

You're already here!

Oh, am I early?

A little, but that's okay! It's just that dinner isn't ready yet—Doodle's still getting the groceries.

But you can still come in, can't you? You must be tired from traveling all this way, aren't you?

A place to sit certainly would not go amiss, if you do not mind.

Of course I don't mind at all!

[ stepping aside for him happily; the house is cozy, comfortable, though certainly a little big for two people. actually, judging by the shoe rack, there are definitely at least four people living in this house.

the door to the kitchen and dining room is open, and there's already a low table set. ]

Would you like some tea, or water? You're thirsty, aren't you?

[toeing off his shoes politely!]

Just water, please. How has everyone been?

Okay, I'll get you water.

[ while she's going into the kitchen, turning on the tap ]

I don't know about everyone, but we've been doing good here! Whiskey and Doodle are getting along better now. Mother-in-law and Mother stop by, but I think they're pretty busy in their world with Persephone. . .

They write, though!

How have you been?

Oh, I have been well enough.

[seating himself comfortably at the table.]

'Tis good to hear you have been as well.

[ setting the water down for him on the table ]

It's wonderful here, and it's only moreso now that you're here.

What about Mr Thancred? How is he doing?
