Behold the Fool of Owari, the Great Unifier of Japan, the Demon King of the Sixth Heaven.

and lmao well it turns out i didnt die in that fight with the dragon. u can file ur complaints with beowulf. gonna be out of commission for awhile but hey thats how shit goes i guess.

but aside from that, i wanna kno something. something thats sitting in my brain as we got a refugee crisis already forming on our hands and we pick through the rubble of a series of shitty decisions and maybe poor karma;

knowing what it is we are all here to do, do you still trust the people that run this Avalon, whether its Camelot or Celliwig or Whatever, to facilitate that task?

[ Nah, this... this wasn't a good conversation to have over text. He switches to voice. ]

Easy now, kid. It's alright. Though I guess I've already died once, already, but you don't have to worry about me biting it anytime soon.

( Asriel fights back some sniffles then... He doesn't want him to know that he had started to cry. )

... I... I didn't know that you had already died before.

Re: voice

[owarifool]

It's not something I talk about a lot...

But it's kind of one of the per-requisites for becoming a Heroic Spirit, and all.

[letmewin]

( There's a noticeable pause then. )

... Is it worth being a hero if it means that you die?

[ ... There's a noticeable ease in Kipposhi's voice when he speaks next, something softer, more empathetic. ]

Kid, everyone dies. Some live a long time, others... don't get that luxury. But what makes someone worthy of being a Heroic Spirit isn't just that they died, but the life they lived before that.

cw: mentions of child death

[letmewin]

... I... I know that everyone dies, but... when it happens, it doesn't make it any less scary.

( Asriel's died quite a few times himself. Despite that, it never made it any less easy when it happened. )

Oh! Gosh, that's right! You were a hero at home, huh...?

[owarifool]

I was a legend, kid. I burned my name into the minds of the people, of the history books. No one will ever forget my name.

[letmewin]

Gosh, I had no idea.... You must have been a really amazing fighter at home, a-and... one who did a lot for everyone. Maybe that's part of why you wanted to fight the dragon.

( ... )

That's the kind of person I really wanted to be a long time ago.

[owarifool]

"Wanted"? Past tense? Don't gimme that kinda talk, kid. You can still be that kind of person.

Well... in your own way, maybe. [ He wasn't going to pretend he thought Asriel had what it took to be a warlord, obviously, but... ]

[letmewin]

I... I think I might be able to here, but...

It wouldn't really be possible at home.

[owarifool]

Eh. [ A shrug. ]

Here, at home, the point is I want you to make the most of the life you have, kid. Take care of that spark you've got, and let it grow into a blaze so bright it'll light the heavens.

[letmewin]

... Y... Yeah, you're right.

But... It shouldn't just be me.

We're both alive here now. I hope that you can make the most of it, too.

[owarifool]

Hmph... [ a small chuckle. ]

Sure thing, kid. Hell, it's what I do. Let's both create our own legends here.

[letmewin]

( Asriel can't help but smile at that.

He's not so sure about a legend... But hey, he was a Prince once. Maybe he can make a difference here that he wasn't able to at home. )

Heheh, yeah! Let's both do our best, Mister Kipposhi.
