IC Inbox - Asgard Eventide

An old, brick edifice stands in front of the burnt-down ruins of a home in the hillside. Mountains rear up in all directions, covered in lush, green vegetation. Nobody comes this way anymore, but you have the sense that anything placed in the mailbox attached to this old structure will be found by someone, the only living person for whom this place still has any meaning.

OOC: Feel free to comment here if your character wishes to get in touch with Samantha Grey directly. Let us keep any such material to PG-13 or less. If you're interested in something that should be matured tagged, contact me via PM and we can discuss it.

[ it doesn't bother kaworu that Samantha keeps herself locked inside the house. He has lived his life locked inside a secret laboratory so security measures don't make him curious; why they are used is what makes him question it. But he won't ask this time since Kaworu knows Samantha enjoys her privacy ]

Hello.

[ he enters, looking around curiously (and shamelessly), before he offers her the tea with a smile ] I wasn't sure if you'd like it. I hope you do.

[She looked at the tea and then nodded, taking it from him and beckoning him to follow her into the room.]

That'll be fine, thank you. I'll serve that to drink with the curry.

...we haven't talked as much lately. You been alright?

[ has he been alright? kaworu doesn't know.

Allen left, Shinji died and so Kaworu had no time whatsoever to even think of Allen, there was a festival and kaworu figured few things out, and then he died again and Shinji was hurt because of him.

He opts not to answer that question. He smiles instead. ]

It has been a while. Things have been busy. With you as well - how was the "hippie camp"?

Other than that jackass Henry being there? Fine. We'll see in a few weeks how the surgery turned out, but I got to rest some and let the runes set in.

[As usual, she was the sort who didn't always notice if someone decided to skip, not if it wasn't obvious. He was at least talking about what had happened latelly after all.]

And busy's good. It keeps you from thinking about things too much.

I hope it works, Samantha. [ kaworu smiles softly. he knows how much that means to her. ] Are you afraid?

[ he just smiles at that last statement. Kaworu always thinks too much. About others, mostly ]

... a little, but I really don't live in fear that much, Kaworu. I've seen things that'd drive a few people insane. Fear's not something I live with that much, just ... disgust.

[She was headed towards the little kitchenette, setting out the pot to boil. The smell of curry was strong in the room. She definitely liked things spicy.]

[ kaworu nods ] I wonder which is better. [ kaworu never felt either of the two.

He looks around as he walks inside and eyes set on the curry. He never had any or even smelled it, so he has no idea what that is. ] what are you cooking?

Disgust means it's easier for me to keep going, so I prefer that. [She muttered that before pointing at the food she was cooking.] It's curry. A strong spice they use in India. You make a paste with it, and I add vegetables, a little fruit and some lamb to cook it up and serve over rice.

[ ohh.

Except. Well, kaworu doesn't eat meat ]

I won't eat the meat, but I will eat the rest.

[She blinked and her cheeks colored a little.] I'll keep this on low heat. Hand me that yellow box in the first cupboard on the left. It won't take much time to fix you some veggie.

[ kaworu blinks and shakes his head with a warmer smile ] Don't worry about it. It was my fault, I should have told you. [ because he is so used to only eat vegetarian, he forgets most people aren't.

He does move to grab the yellow box as requested ]

It's not a problem. I don't mind cooking more. I still have some vegetables ready to go. [She hadn't been sure how much she was making, so she was a little glad for that this time around. Breaking off the little cube from inside the box, she set about making another paste and just left the first to simmer on low heat.]

[ Kaworu stays close by but he doesn't disturb her. he is mostly looking at her cooking so he can learn and try to do it, too, later on ]

[Blessedly, curry's simple to make, so watching her's a good way to learn. It's one of those sort of 'ready-made' types of things. As she works, though, she starts talking.]

So... you came over because of my asking about the dwarves. I want to ask you something. It's fine either way, but do you want to actually know what we were doing down there? Or are you still ok never knowing?

I'm curious by nature. I want to know all that I can and am allowed. But I'm also alright with never knowing.

Do you want to tell me?

This isn't about curiosity, this time, Kaworu.

[She stirred and looked over at him quietly for a minute. Kid or not, he was still a lot more than a normal child.]

If you choose to know, you're part of this plan we're working on, and it's not something we want shared, not with the others, not with the gods, not the giants. Maybe eventually... but not now. There'd be people who would stop us, and I think we need this option. Short-sightedness could get us all killed.

I can promise you I won't tell anyone, if you wish to believe me.

But I can not promise you I will be part of the plan, Samantha. I don't become part of anyone's plans so easily anymore. [ someone already did that to him and in the end, he didn't do as planned because he is not a doll. ]

[She considered for a minute, frowning a little. That was enough for her, really. She hadn't liked keeping this a secret when he'd come the first time.]

We're making a weapon. We don't know it will work, but it's designed to kill a god or a giant. I got the plans in the well, while the others were looking for a way to save Freyr.

[ kaworu eyes her for a moment, before his eyes turn to the curry again ]

And which one do you wish to use this weapon on? A god or a giant?

We haven't decided, but I think most of us are leaning towards the giants. It's not something that can be decided just because others say "They're the enemy." We need to be sure who the biggest threat really is to all of us.

[ kaworu is so used to the whole "kill them before they kill us" tactic. ]

Do you want me to be part of this, too?

[Close. It's more "We want to have the tools if we need them." She just expected to need them. the difference was basically academic.]

If you want, you can. If you'd rather just know that it's happening, then you do. We're not there, and it may take a while...

But, Odin's made a mistake with us. He uses us like expendable pawns to stem his gap. He wants to end this war, to stop Thiazi, but he seems to think he and the others can do it. The thing is... if they're destined to end one way, and Thiazi's changed things, then there's only one thing in the equation that's really changed in favor of the gods.

...us.

Expendable? Though they bring us back to life; if we were that expendable, they would not bother and instead just bring in more travelers. [ Kaworu has died three times, twice in Asgard. they bothered enough to resurrect him all these three times, even if Kaworu doesn't even think he is important at all ]

They brought us here because they need us. And even Thiazi finds us important. [ important enough to try to mess with the travelers directly. So, to say Odin doesn't give travelers much importance is a bit suspicious. Perhaps he does, he simply doesn't wish to show it.

Still, the angel does not say anything that is simply an assumption. ]

... maybe I should rephrase what I mean by expendable. They certainly are willing to risk our lives and bring us back... but you do have a certain point. Still, it's clear enough that they have a very specific role they want us in.

And they don't really want us to leave that role, though... they don't all agree on that attitude. Ran and the Lokis are ... a little more open-minded than he is. [She sighed.] No, you're right. I'm not really being completely fair. I'm just tired of how much we've had to fight to get them to let us do more than create color, how much we have to struggle to get answers. How long was it before they opened the library?

[ Kaworu looks at the curry, and he actually thinks about tasting it even if it's not ready. The reason why he doesn't it's because this is Samantha's cooking, but he is the kind to want to taste the food before it's even ready.

Still, as he eyes it, he speaks softly ]

And when they give us room for more, we plot to create a weapon against them. [ Kaworu is not being harsh nor critical (even if he sounds like that). But maybe that's why they don't do it.

because he has been locked inside a laboratory with minimal contact since the day his human body was created and only released into the world few days before he died. And he knows why he was kept that way. He knows the reasons.

But he knows why Samantha and others aren't pleased with that role the gods insist on keeping the travelers on. Lilim live for answers and for more. More ways, more paths, more options. It's in their nature, while it's not in Kaworu's nature to do that. ]

What if Odin finds out? are you ready for that and the consequences it might bring?
