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.

[ 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?

Never start a fire if you're not willing to burn for it. Eridan and I knew what we were getting into when we started this, and I made sure that the others knew before they got involved, just like I'm making it clear to you. [She sighed.] They gave us the option of finding the way of killing Freya when she went insane. I wouldn't say this is a weapon against them. It's a weapon that can be used against them if we chose to. There's an important difference.

Honestly, though, the more I think about it... no matter how much I don't trust Odin to be fair when the war's over... Thiazi's more dangerous. This thing might as well have her name written all over it. I just don't want to assume things, should the situation change.

My worry is more that one of the gods might betray their own. If Freya can lose it, who's to say it couldn't happen again, right in the middle of the fighting?

To be fair with what, exactly?

[ kaworu nods, though ] To make preparations for the worst, even if the worst may not come. I understand. [ the question is, do people only wish to make preparations or will they want to use these preparations for their own selfish reasons and plots? ]

[That was the danger of a weapon. Anyone who knew how could use it. One reason she had more than one involved was to make sure it wasn't used on the fly, without any thought.]

Kaworu, if you haven't noticed, I'm paranoid. I half expect him to betray the travelers still here when the war ends. Though... that paranoia's fading with time.

And yes, you could say this is meant to prepare for the worst. It's taken so long to prepare that... well, if we didn't start already, I don't know that it could have been available if the travelers needed it otherwise.

Why? has he shown you any signs of otherwise?

[ kaworu nods again. He knows Lilim like to be prepared for... whatever it is. ]

I can't aid you building a weapon, Samantha. [ well. not "can't". rather ] - I won't.

[ like he said, he will not tell anyone about her plans, but kaworu is no0t the kind to build weapons in secrecy. he does not hate Thiazi and he does not hate the gods. He is only fighting to protect the people he loves, but apart from that, he is rather neutral. ]

I'll admit it's paranoia, Kaworu... but paranoia's been a blanket I wrap myself in for years. It's a very hard habit to break. I hope I'm wrong about this, but I never assume it couldn't happen.

[she sighed and nodded.]

But I didn't really think you'd want to. I'm glad you won't share, but I don't expect you to help, so I won't share the details. However... if it would help your mind.

If we're thinking of actually taking a stab at one of the giants, we will [probably] fill Odin or at least Loki in on the plan. We may need their help to get in at all.

[ kaworu smiles ] I just would like for you to be careful.

[ they are, after all, creating something like that. If the gods were not happy about it, bad things could happen in return. ]

It's one of the reasons there's a few of us involved. We don't want to risk making a foolish decision because of our biases. We intend to stay very careful.

I'm glad then.

[ he is sorry that he won't help, but he won't change his mind about his decision ] I hope it goes well.

[And just like that, a plate of curry was there apiece. His was definitely what most people considered spicy and she considered mild. She sat on the counter with hers and nodded.]

So do I, but ... it's not something that's happening soon, so nothing to worry about right now.

[ he nods, thanking her for the curry, after. he looks at fit first, not eating just yet ]

besides that, have things been well, with you? [ he knows he asked on her post, but he also knows Samantha doesn't trust the network that much ]

Actually... considering that I've had runes implanted in my spine? It hasn't been that bad really. When I'm not plotting the overthrow of the world and doomsday weapons or whatever other fool thing I've gotten involved in, I'm almost living a normal life here.

That's good, I'm glad.

[ and kaworu takes the curry to his mouth.

And first everything is fine, but not after. His mouth is burning. He takes a deep breathe, gasping after.

TOO SPICY. ]

Little much? [She smirked at him and offered him some bread and butter from the fridge.] You'll find that bread helps soak up the strongest flavors.

A... bit- [ Kaworu reaches for the bread, taking a bite. After he swallows, he still coughs a little ]

it's hot- [ he isn't very sure why, but this is incredibly new to him ]

Yeah, I like food hot. That's actually pretty mild for me. If you were to try the stuff I usually eat, I don't think you'd be able to take it.

I never had food like this. [ which is not surprising. And strangely, even if it's hot and a bit uncomfortable, he still takes another bite ]

And yet, you're probably going to eat every last bite. [Nope, not surprised at all.] Just eat the bread when it gets a bit much, ok? It'll help.

It's not bad. It's a bit uncomfortable to the tongue, but it still tastes very good. [ uncomfortable because it's so hot. So he will be eating a lot of bread ]
