( video, un: koriel - slightly forward-dated )

[ on the morning of the 14th, everyone’s feeds get to enjoy what appears to be a somber-looking video of a somber-looking man. his shoulders are hunched, his eyes downcast, and one might wonder why he’s making a video if he’s going to look this sad while doing it. don’t worry about it. ]

It’s…

[ he falters. he should have planned this out a little better. ]

I’m sorry to bring them up again, but what was said about the Oracles of the Sinless has been weighing on my mind. One of those members mentioned wanting to “reset” the world…

[ a new game+, as tarn put it. ]

My world is… I… [ although he can't finish his thoughts, it doesn't sound like he's getting emotional. his voice is quiet, but even-toned. ] It’s been destroyed. Most people are dead, and those that aren’t are… unwell. And when I think about that, the idea of resetting the world doesn’t seem wrong.

[ he seems to realize that he’s dangerously close to spreading cult propaganda, and he looks up at the camera with the first fluctuation of emotion—from a kind of downtrodden pensiveness to concern. ]

But I don’t think it seems right, either. I don’t know. [ he glances away from the camera once again. ] The Sinless must be scared. They don’t want the world to get worse. Our arrival here… it makes beautiful things, but maybe…

…um. I wanted to know what everyone else thinks.

You may.
Would you prefer to do it this way, or speak in the presence of a silent listener?
instilled: (tell me)

( private until stated otherwise )

You need fear no judgement from me.

[ It waited for him to continue. As long as he needed. It understood well finding difficulty in explaining a part of oneself they were not proud of. ]

An unimaginably huge task.

[ Whether overpowered by the light of the sun, or brought to sapience by the light of soul, Hallownest had been eternal. Perhaps this was something its Mother would have been able to help him with. ]
instilled: (i hurt you)

[personal profile] instilled 2020-06-03 12:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Perhaps you should have.

[ It was a hard thing to consider. Work like that was the dominion of a Higher Being. How could it imagine how to do so? Should it even be offering advice to someone given this power? ]

But I cannot say that, given a similar position to you, that I would have done aught but make Hallownest the way the Wyrm had done so.
Beings like us have had hardly any experience other than what we have observed.
So perhaps it was not the correct thing to do, but I do not think you can be blamed for such a mistake.
instilled: (your face)

Do not stop yourself from considering them, but do not become mired in them either.
Accept the feelings that come from them.
Only then can you make peace with the duality of what you are and what you feel.
This is something I do believe I have experience of.

My family is a sad one.
Millions of my siblings were left to molder in the darkness.
My Mother could not abide what She had done, and receded.
My Father tried to remain stalwart, but in the end, His choices broke His heart.
And yet here I was able to find happiness with my sibling who is here, and our sister, who came here for a time.
It could have been all of us, together, no recession, no broken hearts, no withering in the dark.
Yet what we made of what chance we were given is good.
I would say that it is 'OK' to be happy with something that could be better.
instilled: (i never thought)

The feeling is mutual, Dextera.

[ He had helped it realize it was OK to have feelings in the first place. ]

Please know that you are ever a welcome presence to me, and should you need it, I would be content to spend time with you.
instilled: (are you weeping?)

I enjoy spending time in Greatmoon Groves.
Lately, I have come to appreciate Crystal Beach, also.
You may also come to my place of rest, though please let me know in advance.
I do not keep many creature comforts, and as such, would like to know when to get some so as not to be a poor host.
