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.

He turns to you with a smile, and like this, you can better tell—he's not younger by any means, but he's less weathered by battle, his hands with callouses from craftsmanship rather than any sword; the lines on his face are primarily around his eyes, made more distinct with his smile.
"How does it look?" ]

"I feel I've still not got it right. But it takes time to get right, and I have all the time in the world to get it right, now." ]
Re: 『Somewhere, Anywhere』
...You didn't before? What, uh, early retirement or something?
Re: 『Somewhere, Anywhere』
The question has him pause.
"Before, I was an instructor of the sword. But this world doesn't need swords now, so they don't need me to do that anymore. I can pursue what I've always wanted to do." ]
Re: 『Somewhere, Anywhere』
Oh yeah? What happened, how'd swords get canceled?

He stops—it seems he doesn't know whether to be proud or sheepish when he next says,
"A former student of mine." ]
Re: 『Somewhere, Anywhere』
Anyways, thanks for the info dump, I guess.
[Pauses]
...You good? Here? You...need anything? For your student...or whatever.
Re: 『Somewhere, Anywhere』
There's the crinkle in his eye again as he smiles; "But I don't need anything right now. I think, once I'm finished here, I'll go down to the house and get some more water." ]
Re: 『Somewhere, Anywhere』
Mm, makes sense, keep hydrated. Eighty percent of the body or something, right? Don't paint too hard, okay?
Re: 『Somewhere, Anywhere』
"I will. You must remember to take care of yourself as well, young miss." ]
Re: 『Somewhere, Anywhere』
See ya 'round.
