( the voice that pipes up on the network only does so after a prolonged pause, and when it does, it's... flat. quiet. spacing out words carefully as though it's trying very hard to think of the right way of phrasing things.

or like it's simply never figured out how to talk correctly. )

... What are humans like, in your world? Are they... good?

( he's met humans here, both otherworlders and natives, and seen Red Wine post asking how Food Souls would be treated on other worlds, but he asks the question anyway.

Cordyceps would not approve of this, but Cordyceps isn't here. the situation is different. the aims and goals are different. and the people he listens to are different too. )

His.. tomb?

[ Huh. That sounds kind of weird. An actual tomb, Minako wonders? And if this person is calling someone their master, does that mean they're a servant?

Minako has so many questions, and so little answers. She has no idea where to even begin on this one. It's an answer so far away from anything she even remotely expected. ]

Why did he do that? Do you know? Did he tell you?

[fellsound]

( unfortunately, as far as that particular event goes... )

No.

( Century Egg is without answers, only suspicions. none of them good. )

[reloves]

Oh.

[ It's not an answer that tells her a whole lot.

But then again, Minako supposes she can't blame the other for not elaborating if this is all he knows about the entire thing as well.. ]

Well, I.. am sorry that happened to you. Though I'm not really certain it's something humans really often do..? [ Not where she comes from, anyway. What sort of odd world is this person from? ] Maybe in a really super long distant past or something, but not nowadays! People would say it's super cruel!

[fellsound]

... Is that so?

( maybe. he was down there for... he doesn't know. likely hundreds of years. but Cordyceps and Chishui Moth Tea don't seem any happier with humans, so Century Egg isn't fully convinced that people on Tierra are really any better.

Red Wine might just be lucky in that regard. )

... What if someone isn't human?

[reloves]

Human or not.. does it really matter if someone is still a person?

[ After all, Minako isn't even sure if she is 100% human or not, when you get down to the very technical details. So of course she's not going to be the first person to throw some huge fit over that idea. ]

I think any person deserves to be treated kindly, unless they're a huge jerk. You can't just lock people away because you feel like it! It doesn't matter if they're human or not. [ She shakes her head. ] It's just wrong.

[fellsound]

( that's what he would have assumed the case to be before it happened. he thought his Master Attendant respected him, treasured his input, understood that he was a living, breathing thing and let him live freely after his death.

apparently, Century Egg had been wrong. )

You're a good person... ( there's a certain amount of emotion in her responses that make that clear. he thinks the same might be true of a lot of people in Avalon, honestly. the attitude of Tierran humans doesn't seem to hold here.

or perhaps that's all for show. Cordyceps would say it was, he thinks. )

[ Those words coming from him seem to catch Minako off guard for a moment - if not just for their sincerity, and the fact that he's saying them practically unprompted. It's not like she was angling for him to say that, after all.. she had just been speaking her mind.

It makes Minako's cheeks grow faintly pink, but she quickly shakes her head, shaking the fluster off. ]

I don't think I'm especially good. I just think.. I'm the way people are meant to be. [ In an ideal world. ] I hope people treat you more kindly here though. After all.. regardless of what we are, we're all equal here, you know?

[ They were all taken to this place in the same way in the end, after all. Then why should their differences matter, especially when it comes to the way people are treated? ]
