Lucifel's Ideal World, v.2

[idolpro]

—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.

Don't get in too much trouble, alright?

When will Mr Thancred be visiting?

Re: 『A Place of Comfort』

[crystallinelore]

I will tell him you miss him when I return.

Re: 『A Place of Comfort』

[aideal]

Should I write him a letter?

Re: 『A Place of Comfort』

[crystallinelore]

Please do. I am certain he would enjoy it.

Ah, pray forgive me, but could you tell me where to find Lucifel?

Re: 『A Place of Comfort』

[aideal]

Okay—oh!

. . . He's working right now, but he'll be done soon. If you wait around, Doodle will come home with the groceries and we can have dinner, and Lucifel will be home by then.

Re: 『A Place of Comfort』

[crystallinelore]

I am afraid I am simply too excited to wait.

Re: 『A Place of Comfort』

[aideal]

He doesn't like being interrupted, though. . .

Re: 『A Place of Comfort』

[crystallinelore]

Then I will apologize when I see him. Please, Aradia.

Re: 『A Place of Comfort』

[aideal]

. . .

He's with the Holy Grail, right now.

Re: 『A Place of Comfort』

[crystallinelore]

[tips his head. do go on.]

Re: 『A Place of Comfort』

[aideal]

. . .

If you're going to visit him, could you give something to him for me?

Re: 『A Place of Comfort』

[crystallinelore]

Of course.

[ getting up then, to go to the kitchen and get a basket. she's sorting through things, filling it up, quiet and maybe a little pensive ]

Re: 『A Place of Comfort』

[crystallinelore]

[he will wait politely, hands folded on the table.]

Re: 『A Place of Comfort』

[aideal]

[ she's coming back around with a picnic basket ]

Even if we don't need to eat anymore, it's nice to eat with company, isn't it?

[ setting it down for him ]

Before you go—do you understand the rules of the game? You should learn, shouldn't you?

Re: 『A Place of Comfort』

[crystallinelore]

Mm, I do, but I would appreciate advice for the game, if you have any.

Re: 『A Place of Comfort』

[aideal]

I can show you how to play it!

[ EXCITED ]

Re: 『A Place of Comfort』

[crystallinelore]

Ah... All right, then. Shall we?

Re: 『A Place of Comfort』

[aideal]

Then, we should go outside, shouldn't we? It's going to be a little big. . .

[ carrying the picnic basket and going to the door! ]

Re: 『A Place of Comfort』

[crystallinelore]

All right.

[out we go!]

Re: 『A Place of Comfort』

[aideal]

Go ahead and summon your first card!

Re: 『A Place of Comfort』

[crystallinelore]

As you wish.

[the exarch understands cards but i need to learn by playing so

he's playing a blue caster.]

1/3

[aideal]

[ looking, maybe a little tense/worried. . . ]

Re: 『A Place of Comfort』

[aideal]

[ oh no. . . ]

Re: 『A Place of Comfort』

[aideal]

[ . . . wait it's fine ]

[ the card evaporates into shimmering light, before rematerializing into a person with a robe and a wizard hat ]



That was great!
