Vergil's heart game r2
You feel weak, your body won't move no matter how you try, and you are falling, away from everything you know and love. Away from everything you need to accomplish. If you could just reach out, maybe you could hold on to it, claw your way back. But it's a useless endeavour, you fall unconscious, and your mind goes blank except for poetry and a familiar voice.
O mother Enitharmon, wilt thou bring forth other sons?
To cause my name to vanish, that my place may not be found,
For I am faint with travail,
Like the dark cloud disburden'd in the day of dismal thunder.
My roots are brandish'd in the heavens, my fruits in earth beneath
Surge, foam and labour into life, first born and first consum'd!
Consumed and consuming!
Then why shouldst thou, accursed mother, bring me into life?
You wake on the ground in a cave, cold, wet, and sticky. It smells of rotting flesh. Your objective is clear, but you can't recall a name or face. Nothing else about your memory of him is changed, but for some reason the name "Vergil" just won't come to you, and you couldn't describe how he looks if your life depended on it. But at least your body starts to respond to your will, slowly regaining enough strength to carry on.

Re: URIZEN
[He lifts the hand with the bouquet if he can, bowing if the vines let him and releasing it to float between them.]
You may not be a part enthralled with that word, but I would not ignore you.
Re: URIZEN
That doesn't necessarily mean he doesn't understand though. What's rhe truth? Who can say but him. At least it has his attention somehow.
"You mistake me for another."
Re: URIZEN
Your desire for power. Your rejection of weakness. Your belief in emotions as such.
A demon's mindset is somewhat alien too my own. But I would still greet you and spend time in your company a while.
Re: URIZEN
But they fall away, and set you on the arm of the throne, beside his hand.
Re: URIZEN
Twas not my intention to mock you.
Re: URIZEN
"Yet you do. Foolish and arrogant, what good does all your knowledge and wisdom do you, clouded by feeble emotion."

[He does ponder the question though.]

Re: URIZEN
I cannot be fully happy without fulfilling it. It is selfish in that way. And I am more ruthless than any, even you, in my pursuit of it.
And what of you? Is your own happiness or fulfillment something you consider or pursue?
Re: URIZEN
"My desire is only for myself. You know it already, I need only power."
Re: URIZEN
And you have it. Are you content?
Re: URIZEN
He watches that petting, devoid of expression just as his usual demon form is, but at least he does have eyes, it's much easier to tell at least where he's looking. The bouquet still floats there, and he glances at that without moving his head too. There's some gears turning somewhere at least.
Re: URIZEN
What would be enough?
[He is genuinely curious.]
Re: URIZEN
"When none could ever stand before me. Yet still I will not grow so complacent as those who came before me. I will not stumble. Never cease to seek greater heights. Enough does not exist."
Re: URIZEN
I like that greed. It is reassuring.
Re: URIZEN
"Hah. Is that so?"
Re: URIZEN
Of course. Desire is what drives people. Demons as well, I suspect. Apathy and complaceny lead to nothing.

Re: URIZEN
"...I have no lack of motivation or desire. My greed knows no bounds. This again you should know well."
Re: URIZEN
Yet confirming it for myself does reassure me.
Re: URIZEN
"You think me your lover. How many times must I tell you I am no one else?"
