{Animus}

[adstring_npc]

[There's the usual static hum on everyone's PCD, as the screen goes black. After a moment, a low flute tone starts up, continuing as a background melody throughout. For anyone who hears it, it would sound vaguely familiar, from their home world- though played inexpertly, as if they couldn't entirely remember how it was supposed to go.]


too soon, too early

not quickly enough

calm down, take a breath we're still setting up
we'll take it apart
you always do

we can carry it ourselves
is it really necessary

^finally, that's better
wait what's going on

you don't see it either

there's nothing on the other side

I CAN'T SPELL. /BLAMES IT ON MUSE.

[flameandpassion]

[Never liked that spelling...

Shit. What had Cas said? Tiamet. Tiamat. Was it Tiamat? Rei had been so excited in discovering some connection to something that -- ]

Tiamat.

[It's a quick correction. But something else -- divine it up. Was this thing truly a god? Or some sort of spiritual entity that was powerful enough to be a god?]

And you want me to guess another name?

Why don't you feel anything for us? Just what are we to you?

IT'S ALL GOOD, MAN. <33

[adstring-npc.livejournal.com]

though it's been years
it has a nostalgic sound

yes

The other side of what? Do you mean after death?

[checkmychainyo.livejournal.com]

[His voice becomes ice-cold.]

...Are these your own feelings, or were they instilled by an entity that controls all of you?

1/2

[flameandpassion]

[My element?]

[feel-nevermore.livejournal.com]

[Raven's head jerks up. The voice is back again. And that question?] It doesn't hurt anymore but... it's still there. And I've been wondering... Why?

[flameandpassion]

[Rei spends approximately two seconds feeling grossly insulted -- before she realizes her discovery.

One of them is affiliated with fire.

-- a disgrace, who the hell did this person think -- ]

You use fire?

Can you show me?

[thelonegenin]

Huh? There ain't a meaning-- what're you talkin' about?

[reddattebane.livejournal.com]

[Whoah! Energetic guys aren't they? 8|]

I see, so does that mean you're testing us with a riddle?

[adstring-npc.livejournal.com]

you've done nothing but die

[adstring-npc.livejournal.com]

we don't really like tests, though
unless we can fix the answers

[adstring-npc.livejournal.com]

exactly what we said

[adstring-npc.livejournal.com]

[adstring-npc.livejournal.com]

some of ours
some of the time

[hardcorecute.livejournal.com]

Hiiiii Elephants!

I like your music!

[checkmychainyo.livejournal.com]

[He doesn't know what can control the Animus, but he defers that question as if he secretly knows the answer.]

Some of us have formed a theory that there's a larger and more powerful entity controlling you.

[reddattebane.livejournal.com]

If you're the ones testing us then I would think you could fix the answers pretty easily, but that wouldn't be too fair to the people taking it, right?

[flameandpassion]

[Rei is the embodiment of fire. To say such a thing to her -- it takes all of her reserve to not snap back. Instead she takes a deep breath.]

I don't choose to die.

But you work with fire. You've destroyed the world and rebuilt it.

[She needs Castiel for this.]

You aren't a spirit; you're a god.

[genkireaper]

Centipedes aren't exactly insects... What is it that you wanted to balance?

[supermistfrog.livejournal.com]

...

Ah, have you separated this time?

[sgtmajorjerk.livejournal.com]

You must be the Animus I've heard so much about.

Ku, ku, ku!
