[The raccoons are waiting in the auditorium, dressed as precious little cupids, which is to say they have plastic wings and underwear (bloomers and boxers respectively) on, though admittedly their choices of "cupid's arrows" is a little suspect.]



CONGRATULATIONS MURDERFIENDS! YOU CHOSE RIGHT!

((Last words
Execution))

[ Caius releases a sigh at that.

Ichigo, how do you do this to yourself?

The man allows a silence to befall them both -- purposefully this time. He also ends it by speaking up after a moment. ]

I'll take the lead this time.

[ In telling a story of "accomplishment", that is. ]

Originally, the world I was from had goddesses and gods dictating the lives of men. They were bound even further by creatures who had been dictated roles as our so-called caretakers, but they did not fulfill those duties without making sure some of us were sacrificed in carrying out their will.

They had us all under their palm, and though eventually we escaped from even that fate, I can tell you now it appeared as if that would never occur. But of course it did.

[ He had even lost faith himself and given into despair. That he'd be a corpse, living eternally in the chaos, bound by it, with those many Yeuls when Bhunivelze made his appearance. ]

[He's sleep deprived and went with the first thing that came to mind - even if it was unfortunately linked with executions.

Still, he stays silent as Caius talks, only nodding slightly. Gods controlling people's fates...he can understand why Caius might've wanted to overturn that.

That, and it has parallels to their current situation.]

And you made that change happen?

[eternalballad]

Partially.

[ He defied and overturned Etro -- a goddess. But he cannot claim being responsible for the fall of Bhunivelze. ]

You could call the fall of gods and goddesses themselves the result of a group effort. Though, in some respects, the group effort wasn't always so organized.

[ There's a bit of dryness to his tone here. But he's serious.

All in all, he is mentioning it on purpose, yes. Because of the parallels. ]
