[k] @Holmes ...we have proven beyond all doubt[sr]that Arjuna is not a perfect god. [k] @Holmes And because they have proven his flawed nature by enduring his massive world-undoing cataclysms... [k] @Holmes ...the resulting drop in his divine[sr]power must be severe indeed.

[k] @Aśvatthāman ...all that time they spent here only reinforces the concept that any god who could miss something like this for so long MUST be defective. [k] [charaFadeout E 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 1] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] @Koyanskaya I see.

Can't you tell, dammit?[sr]There's several reasons. [k] @Aśvatthāman First, I had to push myself way too hard to use Shiva's power to send those two back in time. [k] @Aśvatthāman Second, I'm still technically Arjuna's Servant. If worse comes to worst, he could end up making me hurt you guys. [k] @Aśvatthāman And finally...there's no point keeping anyone around who can't fight worth a damn. 'Course, it pisses me the hell off. [k] [charaFace E 0] @Aśvatthāman Don't worry. The moment those two were freed... The moment this world's destiny was thrown for a loop...I'd already done what I could. [k] @Aśvatthāman And by that, I mean my Spirit Core[sr]should still be good for something. [k] @Aśvatthāman Truth be told, I was already pretty much a shadow of myself by the time we got here.

[k] @Holmes If you could be there by [&his:her] side at times like that,[sr]I think that would mean a great deal indeed.

Guess you really do know the only kind of role I'm cut out to play. [k] [charaFace E 04] @Aśvatthāman As for you, ex-Master... You're the one who originally summoned me, so...sorry I couldn't be of more help to you. [k] @Aśvatthāman I was supposed to be your Servant, but boy did I ever fail at that. You've still got every right to be angry at me. [k] [charaFadeout E 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaPut J 2000,2000] [charaTalk F] [charaFace F 9] [charaFadein F 0.1 1] @Peperoncino Hehe, I'm not angry. I know you couldn't help it. Believe me, I understand that sort of thing all too well. [k] [charaFace F 1] @Peperoncino Maybe, if I could get angry or upset on your behalf... [k] @Peperoncino ...it'd help you feel more appreciated as a Servant... [k] @Peperoncino But, I just can't.[sr]I don't know how to live my life that way. Sorry. [k] [charaFadeout F 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaPut J 1] [charaTalk E] [charaFace E 0] [charaFadein E 0.1 1] @Aśvatthāman The way you live your life, huh... While we're on the subject, let me say this: I was still your Servant for a while, so I know this much about you. [k] @Aśvatthāman You might think you've lost your way, and that you don't deserve to be thought of as human anymore. [k] [charaFace E 1] @Aśvatthāman ...But you're wrong. I think you put your foot right through the path you were headed down... [k] @Aśvatthāman ...to make extra damn sure you wouldn't get lost on it. [k] @Aśvatthāman Maybe I don't have any right to say this, seeing how I snuck in and massacred all those people in the dead of night, but my comrades were all a bunch of good-for-nothings too. [k] [charaFace E 0] @Aśvatthāman Especially Duryodhana and the other hundred princes...[sr]Though they were still good guys at heart. [k] @Aśvatthāman Anyway, I think they were fine just the way they were. [k] [charaFace E 6] @Aśvatthāman They might've been good-for-nothings, but they lived their lives the best they could. I think that's all anyone can do. [k] [charaFadeout E 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaPut J 2000,2000] [charaTalk F] [charaFace F 4] [charaFadein F 0.1 1] @Peperoncino Yeah, I know. There's no right or wrong when it comes to living your life. [k] @Peperoncino But still, when you're born on the outside looking in on the world, there's not a whole lot you can do, right? [k] [charaFace F 1] @Peperoncino So, I get it.[sr]It's one of those things that just can't be helped. [k] @Peperoncino It's not worth complaining about to anyone, and it's not worth asserting my rights over either. [k] @Peperoncino I just...can't help but think it's a shame that this world sometimes ends up producing outcasts like me. [k] [charaFadeout F 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaPut J 1] [charaTalk E] [charaFace E 4] [charaFadein E 0.1 1] @Aśvatthāman Man... Your resignation really colors everything in your life, doesn't it? [k] @Aśvatthāman That's why you feel bad for the world's lack of tolerance instead of for yourself. It's why you're appalled by human society's failure to help people like you. [k] [charaFace E 0] @Aśvatthāman But you know, it takes a big person to think like that, too. I don't have a problem with it. Hell, I wouldn't have a job without it. [k] @Aśvatthāman Who knows? Maybe I'll end up running into you again someday as well. [k] @Aśvatthāman I'm sure you already know this, but as a Servant, I'm not good for much except being a fiery ball of endless fury. [k] [charaFace E 1] @Aśvatthāman But...if you still haven't learned your lesson, and end up as my Master again someday... [k] @Aśvatthāman ...I'll make sure to make up for your lack of fire by getting good and angry on your behalf. [k] @Aśvatthāman Even if you aren't able to muster up any anger on your own about the world's injustices, I've got rage enough for both of us. [k] [charaFace E 6] @Aśvatthāman ...I think that's what I'm meant to do. [k] [charaFadeout E 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaPut J 2000,2000] [charaTalk F] [charaFace F 9] [charaFadein F 0.1 1] @Peperoncino Hehe.

Well, glad I got all that off my chest.[sr]I'm counting on all of you to take care of the rest. [k] @Aśvatthāman And by the rest, I mean the guy taking my place. [k] @Aśvatthāman I'm pretty sure you already know this, but he's not exactly the most graceful guy around.

[k] [charaFadeout E 0.1] [wt 0.1] @??? He must have put himself through tremendous hardships before he reached his current state. [k] @??? It's one thing to say he collected every Indian Divinity into himself, and another altogether to actually do so. [k] @??? He may rule this land now, but he has not transcended its bonds. His current state is the answer he arrived at after countless hard decisions and tribulations. [k] @??? In which case, it would be the height of rudeness to challenge him as my ordinary self. [k] [bgmStop BGM_EVENT_79 2.0] @??? So I will put myself through the same ordeals he did as a sign of respect...and of despair. [k] @??? I will only challenge him once I have pushed myself as far as I possibly can. As his brother, I owe him no less. [k] @??? And you are going to help me get there, Aśvatthāman. [k] [charaTalk E] [charaFace E 6] [charaFadein E 0.1 1] @Aśvatthāman Ha... You're too damn good for you own good, you know that? Irritating as hell.

If you want to do this thing, we'll keep at it until you're good and satisfied.
