it’s not that he doesn’t understand the words themselves, but he doesn’t understand what lucifer stands to gain from them. he scoffs, turns away. is this progress? is this a step back on the progress he and his brother had already made? he isn’t sure.

still... the feeling of intrusion... ❝ i hadn’t thought anyone else would be here. do you come up here a lot? ❞

@adresveleno​ said: "Divide et impera."

( ALTERED CARBON; S01 - sentence starters! )

||  █ ▌— the sentiment is straightforward, satan has to admit, but he can’t help complicating it anyway as he picks it apart in his head. ‘divide and rule’ or ‘divide to rule,’ though most translate it in the modern day as ‘divide and conquer,’ which technically moves the strategy back a few steps, from post-conquest to pre- and therefore changes the meaning entirely.

there’s a lot to think about in it. he wonders if it’s not lucifer’s influence that has him dismissing it out of hand. lord diavolo’s latest fascination has been with union, however strange, and he wonders when he started taking the future demon king’s ideals to heart.

❝ that can only work for so long, right? eventually there needs to be some sort of consensus... ❞

heartlessevil‌:

It was a simple identity to tell when you are in contact with a human or something of different. Smell, sound, even something as a movement. Humans were clumsy and wasted so much basic movement and muscle strength to do anything. This person aura was clearly not human. 

“Make an entire sea of blood spilled in killing them and you can tell one from something else simply by looking now. Being in a kingdom filled with them now is quite sickening to me. I loathe this existence, and yet here I am.” He has the means to kill, and yet he would be doing it far to slowly and not without power to protect himself afterward. It was a rare situation. “Consider it a hobby of mine. Seeing their so-called Bonds broken so easily is a sight that fills my evil heart.”

||  █ ▌— satan is fairly young, as demons go. his lifespan might seem long to a human, but when all of his brothers are so much older, there are places he falls behind. he hadn’t learned to sense another inhuman creature on the level that one of them might have. he’s never really needed to try. still, he’s not upset to be recognised by another. like calls to like, people say.

a sea of blood is an image the avatar of wrath can’t help but consider not entirely unpleasant, and he nods distantly. it makes sense; kill enough humans and know them. he wonders if there aren’t more efficient means. ❝ it’s very strange, ❞ he admits, ❝ being surrounded by them at all hours. i’ve never had to be around more than a few at a time... at least not for very long. and usually there’s a purpose to being around them... something to gain, or at least something to eat. ❞

WESTWORLD; IX SENTENCE STARTERS.  

@wrathfulis: “The human mind is not some golden benchmark glimmering on some green and distant hill. No, it is a foul, pestilent corruption.”

  Everything–from those sharp eyes, confident posture, and oily smile–has Jubei on edge. His gait when he approached her boasted his presence, celebrated his allure in this conceited way. She refuses to give the man the satisfaction of her wandering golden gaze, keeping her stare firmly straight ahead at the aimless distance before her. 

     ❝ You know, I definitely didn’t imagine being spirited away into this new world would include a lecture on personal philosophy. ❞ She couldn’t fight the snark that dripped in her low tones even if she wanted to. It slips from her tongue like a snake, the same way her arms now folded across her chest comfortably. After all, if the man could critique people with that kind of smile on his face, then it should be fair for her to do the same. 

     ❝ Sure, we’re not perfect–far from glimmering. But we’re not absolutely heinous either–unless you want to be. ❞

||  █ ▌— he isn’t used to people who can see through him. that alone is interesting, though he doesn’t really know what to make of it. he knows better than to be concerned by another’s perceptiveness. his act is for other demons more than it will ever be for any mortal ( she’s not human, not with ears like those, but she’s certainly a mortal being ) and so he cares little if it’s seen through.

still, he’s somewhat impressed. his smile doesn’t phase her, or at least not in the way it normally does. in fact, it has the opposite of its usual affect. perhaps the words were a bit too much? he doesn’t let the expression falter, though.

❝ i wasn’t trying to lecture, ❞ he says quickly, because he wasn’t. ❝ it’s interesting when others’ beliefs don’t line up with my own. i’m just speaking from experience, you understand? ❞

❝ if you can’t understand it, it sounds like you’ve been very lucky. ❞

“I mean, this is no pleasure plant. I think if I were rolling around in that though, there’d be a problem.” Netzach’s interactions with plants are bizarre, and they’ve learned to expect the worst from things that masquerade as ordinary plants. Even the ones less conforming to reality have something terrible about them. Nothing is safe there, but the fact that the grass is, is a small victory. 

Glancing to the blades of grass, their expression freezes for a moment, contemplative of the situation. The odd contrast of cold grass on their back and the sun on their face is enough to keep them from moving, from focusing, given that it takes them a moment to focus back on the other, pupils adjusting independently enough from one another to seem strange to anyone expecting ordinary humanity. 

“I’m okay, I’m just checking it all out.” Netzach beams now, looking over the other, but still not getting up from where they’re sprawled. “It’s new. Nobody talks about how you’re supposed to like, get used to something like this. So I’m sort of just doing what feels right.” 

“But, well, I’m looking for a good place to go and get rid of this thing.” They pinch at their suit, which hangs off them more than it fits.  They hate the suit. Hate it. “Maybe even set it on fire. But uh, after I find something else to wear.” 

||  █ ▌— he doesn’t understand exactly what the other is talking about. pleasure plant? it sounds... well. perhaps like something asmodeus would like, more than something he himself could make sense of, but perhaps he’s misinterpreting its meaning. he doesn’t want to ask, lest his ignorance show. he dislikes admitting that he doesn’t understand everything.

at least they like the grass. little of it grows down in the devildom, owing to his home’s lack of sunlight, but he’s spent enough time in the human world to know what it’s like. it can be nice to sit in, with a nice book and perhaps a snack. this individual is--strange, satan thinks, but he isn’t the sort to say anything. he might scrutinise, sure, but he keeps his findings to himself unless he has a reason to share them.

there’s something not quite human about the other, but he can’t pinpoint what it might be, so he doesn’t try, just files that away for later, like a note. the jubilance in the other’s smile makes satan smile as well, he can’t help it.

❝ there are clothing shops a little while back. you can change into something else and then do whatever you like with what you’re wearing. it doesn’t seem to fit you anyway --- i can’t help but ask, why are you wearing such a badly-fitting thing? ❞

if asmo was here, he’d be able to tell the other just what colour would suit him, what to wear instead. asmo is not here, though, and satan’s suggestions will be weaker. ❝ i can show you, if you’d like, once you’re done with the grass. ❞

“The significance of the human emotional stage of friendship and relationships. Something that has been lost to me in bits and pieces. I hate it all, and yet here I am. Willed to learn about it to destroy it.” Clearly, he missed something during his first time alive, or else he would not be in the mess he was now. Granted, calculating back he had to make a realize here. The jewel corrupted his actions, and he had been a puppet. 

“Though you do not strike me as one of them, now aren’t you?”

||  █ ▌— now that is a difficult topic, satan considers. humanity, with all its parts and pieces, the way their emotions fit together like building blocks and their transactions utterly uneven. he’s never understood them. he’s made a bit of an effort, of late, but he still can’t really make sense of human beings. 

❝ destroy it? ❞ he asks, tilting his head curiously. now that would be quite the feat. he’s not sure he understands it, but... knowledge for any reason was a good thing. know thy enemy and all of that. he can’t help but smile.

❝ no, i am not, in fact, ‘one of them.’ however did you guess? ❞

“a toy? is it?” the elf squints at the wand in her hands, as if she can puzzle out all its secrets just by looking hard enough. “i haven’t seen a toy like this before, but maybe… a dwarven craft?” the wand is lifted up to barely an inch from her face, her eyes almost crossing.

“well… i was hoping i could maybe do a little magic with it… you know. make a flower bloom, mend a wound…” her scrutiny continues in silence for a moment–and then she sighs, shrugs, offers the wand to the man. “well! i suppose i shall just have to look for something else. did you want this? the way it glitters is delightful.”

||  █ ▌— satan frowns at the thing, and her word choice, and indeed her ears once he finally takes in that little detail. she’s certainly not what he’s grown to expect from a witch ( who tend to be normal-looking human women, mostly, but he supposes there must always be exceptions to such general rules ), but he can’t fathom what else she might be, especially with such easy talk of magic.

❝ so your powers are limited here as well? ❞ he asks, because he can’t not wonder. it seems a strange precaution by the city. why summon a demon or call up a magic-user if not to make use of them, right? ❝ and you know what? i’ll take it. it might make a nice gift for someone... ❞

A nod at the statement, it was odd to be stared at by the locals. After all, where he came from the likes of him was a norm. Normal to walk among beings from different parts of the beyond. Hellsalem’s Lot was a sanctuary among those like him; minus the part that folks tend to get killed every day. 

While it is still a mystery as to how his world was created (much like his own creation), Zed finds this world to be the same. None the less, he wasn’t alone on the assignment, “They seem to be curious as to where we came from, it is quite new for me to be stared at. Where I come from, someone like me is considered normal.” 

“Do you wish to search? Two the better to look through information. I hope you do not mind me asking some questions in regards to where you’ve come from. I have ever been out of my city, besides where I was trained.” 

||  █ ▌— satan enjoys a good mystery, but there are too many strange things being thrown at him at once in this place. the mechanism behind his being summoned here, the sealing away of his demonic form and most of his abilities, the people who look unlike humans or demons or anything else he might be able to recognise...

it’s just a lot at once. he doesn’t blame the locals for questioning their presence, but he still feels irritated by it. ❝ and where are you from, if you don’t mind my asking? ❞ he asks, his charming smile never faltering. ❝ you would be considered unfamiliar in my home as well, but honestly not the strangest-looking thing by some standards. ❞

he nods at the other’s words. ❝ yes, we can look together. two people will be able to get through twice the books... or at least that’s the theory. it depends how fast you read, i suppose. ❞

send one for my muse's reaction!

“Expect nothing. Only then can you be prepared for anything.” “Have you always been such an asshole?“  “And how do you decide who deserves to die?“  “I have to admit that I have a grudging admiration for you.”  “Sometimes I come up here when I have decisions to make or difficulties to face.”  “I don’t know… how to be in this world without you.“  “Peace is an illusion. And no matter how tranquil the world seems… peace doesn’t last long. Peace is a struggle against our very nature. A skin we stretch over the bone, muscle, and sinew.”  “This is not how normal people start the day. Coffee, cereal maybe. Toast. Maybe even toast with another person…”  “All this trust is just making me tear up.”  “I’ll never see her again, not even to say goodbye. Do you know what that’s like?“  “What the fuck? What did you do to my goddamn door?“  “See, friends are overrated, ‘cause eventually, someone will come along and shoot ‘em. You’re better off alone.”  “You twirl your fingers when you’re nervous, you know that?”  “If I were afraid, would you save me, [NAME]?”  “We stick together, [NAME]. Never face the monsters alone.“  “For just a few hours, stay out of trouble, okay?”  “You look so thin. Are you eating enough?“  “There are some things you can’t kill your way out of.”  “You should know there’s nothing I won’t do. Nothing, if it will save you.“  “Divide et impera.“  “When everyone lies, telling the truth isn’t just rebellion. It’s an act of revolution. So think carefully when you speak it, because the truth is a weapon.”  “I told you before, we’re not friends. I don’t owe you a goddamn thing.”  “Don’t talk to me again unless you have something useful to say, okay?”  “The guards’ll be fine. Well, except for the broken jaw and shattered leg.”  “I could get you a car if you’d like. Or you could stay a while. With me.“  “I believe I’m the one offering to do the saving. Think about it. But don’t take too long. We’re running out of time.”  “You know, it’s getting easier to imagine putting holes in you every time you open your mouth.“  “I appreciate that you are no quitter. But there is a time for letting go.“  “Stay with me, [name]. Hey! Hey, I’m talking to you.”  “Don’t worry about him. He’s fine. Just concentrate on staying alive.”  “Hey, hey. Stay awake! Stay awake! Open your eyes!“  “This is what you do, love. Stride across the centuries, and death follows, churning in your wake.”  “Love isn’t finite. Maybe life shouldn’t be either. Maybe we should keep living, forever.“  “How could you believe that I would shoot you?”  “I cannot speak for you, my friend, but I am here to kick great amounts of ass.”  “I hate it when you’re smug.“  “The danger of living too long: you forget to fear death. We dismiss the Grim Reaper as a quaint metaphor. But fearing death… it’s good for you.”  “I missed you so much.“  “This is the weakness of weapons. They are tools to kill and destroy. They are not what gives you power. You are the weapon. You are the killer and destroyer.”  “I don’t wanna die. I wanna live. I want us to see a million tomorrows.“  “That’s the hardest thing to get used to. Nothing survives. Nothing but us.”  “You look good. I could have sworn I broke your back.”  “So, what? I just… forgive you, like nothing’s happened?”  “Whatever you think was happening between us… it didn’t matter. It meant nothing to me.”  “Throwing blades is an excellent way to increase one’s hand-eye coordination.”  “I think your relationship with honesty is passing at best.”  “Do you love me? It’s not a complicated question.“  “I’ll burn every one of them down, if that’s what it takes to bring you back to me.”  “I can’t ever expect your forgiveness.“  “You got a lot to lose. I don’t. Why don’t you listen?”  “I don’t see the point in going through this sober.”  “Fair is for dead men and losers.“  “You can say goodbye later, when one of us is dead.”  “You lied to me. To me, [NAME]. The only person who’s ever truly loved you.”  “It’s gonna be okay. It’s gonna be okay. I promise, it’s gonna be okay.”  “I skipped over worry and went straight to full-on panic.“  “I’ll never give you up. If I ever give you up my heart will surely fail…”  “It’s time for you to evolve. Transformation is always painful. But I changed to make myself stronger. You can, too.“  “This is real power. Cutting away the things that make you weak one at a time. Embrace that power. Be on the winning side.”  “They were raw material. A means to an end to get the respect I’m owed.”  “You’ve become everything we fought against.”  “The look on her face. The look on her face when I pulled the trigger. It was almost relief.”  “I may be many things, but I am not a murderer.”  “We have ruined each other. Haven’t we?“

Nothing owned to his name, besides this plastic excuse for what was a sacred jewel. It has been tossed out across the farthest point out of his eye. It was a joke, and this was no joking matter. Fifty years of hatred and planning were all ruined by a simple half-demon and his friends. Bonds, friendship, it all was so foreign to him and it was so loathing. 

Why did bonds give them power….Nothing in these strange rectangular scrolls of literature on the holders of this library seemed to allude to an answer. Though it seems his rather large selection of books drew the attention of someone else. “What ails you, human?”  @wrathfulis​

||  █ ▌— the pile of books had certainly caught satan’s attention. most people at the library tend to grab one or two and leave, or at least look at only a few at a time at the little tables scattered about the place. this was clearly someone who hungers for some sort of knowledge. it’s... not an unfamiliar thing to the avatar of wrath. he has a similar hunger himself, though the topics he chooses differ.

or at least he assumes they do. he can’t tell from the haphazard pile what exactly the other is seeking, but with so many books, he must not have found whatever answers he seeks just yet. this, too, is familiar to satan, and he tilts his head to the side. human. oh, yes. he supposes that he does appear that way right now, doesn’t he? his demonic form was sealed away when he arrived. ❝ nothing at all. i was simply curious about your eclectic selection. ❞

forcottentail‌:

  Despite her woefully short attention span, Alice loves books, even if she did not always understand their contents. Simply the act of taking in the words and recognizing some form of meaning provided enough encouragement to have her coming back for more, and she found murder mysteries to be especially appealing–the winding narrative and ever-changing thrills appealed directly to her sense of intrigue. Stationed at a table near the back of the city’s library, she had a book propped open in her hands, and across from her sat someone reading a copy of the same story.

Truthfully, she could not recall how she reached the point of having company, but she was having too much fun to care.

“ Hah! I figured it out! ” She flourishes her book at her companion across the table. “ It’s gotta be Johnathan. He had the knife! ” / @wrathfulis​

||  █ ▌— it isn’t often that satan finds himself reading with others, but he has to admit that there’s something exciting about reading the same story as someone else, being able to discuss it. especially as he reads rather than immediately after, with all secrets out in the open. he’s eagerly reading through the book in his hands, turning back to pages he’s marked with little post-it notes in order to check facts against the clues revealed by the detective in the story. truly, this is a brilliant piece of literature ( and he’s glad this girl can see it, too ).

upon her declaration, he brings a hand up to his chin as he ponders that. it seems plausible, certainly, but he’s wondering if perhaps johnathan is a red herring.

❝ he had the weapon, sure, but what could his motive have been? out of everyone, he was the one with the least to gain from the murder, isn’t he? ❞ he asks, a very thoughtful expression on his face. ❝ could he be being set up? ❞
