THIRD SONG ♫ VIDEO

Hellllooooo Hadriel!

[ So. Someone's cheery. One wouldn't think so what with the cave being restored to its 'former glory.' ]

Sure is a bummer that Tranquility's good times ended, huh? [ Understatement of the year. ] Fret not, however, for I have taken it upon myself to plan for Love's inevitable - and fashionably late - arrival!

[ Do you have a bad feeling yet? You should. ]

How, you ask? Well! Easy. I've started charting out the ships down here in the cave. What's a 'ship,' you ask? A ship is short for 'relationship'! This can be any kind, really, but the actual fun is in ones of the romantic sort. [ An oh so innocent bat of her eyelashes. ]

There's a couple obvious ones, there's those who have loved and lost, there's the hopeful buddings of new relationships, and of course we're always wondering who are deities are into.

[ No? Just her? Alright then. ]

You can find the list I've started attached and, please, add to it as you see fit! I'll make the changes accordingly. I'll even try to keep it up to date, so! If any changes happen after the fact - break-ups, make-ups, or unfortunate farewells - feel free to hit me up personally and let me know. This way, Love can be up to speed upon arrival.

Oh, right, of course. I should also mention that I've enabled the anonymous feature for responses, so! If you're shy or don't wanna compromise friendships by outing the couples you do know, don't worry. Or if you just wanna stir up some gossip and speculation, don't worry! Your secret's safe with me.

[ WINK. All's fair in love and war, yaddah yaddah. ]

(( ooc; So! HAVE AT IT, MURDERCAVE. FEEL THE LOVE. I'll be updating the post as I get suggestions and eventually porting it to Rose's personal journal for future reference. C'mon, ya'll, let's make Love feel welcome for when they arrive. ))

It's a waste of energy.

At the very least, leave us out of it.

It's still fun for some people, if nothing else.
And fun's about all we got down here sometimes, dude.

Also, uh.
A little late for that.
It's not my fault ya'll are super hot and the equivalent of celebrities back home for me.
People love to gossip about celebrities.

You have other things. You have survival, your memories, the things that we do to you. I don't require you to have fun.

We're-

[Okay, he needs a moment to process that.]

-we chose forms that resembled your species to ease your minds about communications. The... attractiveness of them is irrelevant. If we were to be... together... it wouldn't be in any way that you can imagine it, rendering this speculation invalid.

I don't know what a celebrity is.

Fun isn't a necessity, sure, but it helps.
Especially after the things you do to us. We gotta recover sometimes from having our emotions messed with.

[ Not that she's upset about it or anything. She understands that the gods NEED to for energy, so. Just stating the facts.

Also, huh. Tranquility said the same thing. Curiouser and curiouser. ]

A celebrity is a person that's famous, like, because they act in movies or have a lot of money and power.
They're usually super fine too.
And more secretive since they're in like a different world from normal people.
(That's also why it's fun to speculate who they're with.)

So you're the cave celebrities, basically.

[Marian had been skimming the network (nonplussed, mind you) for any hint of anything actually useful, but on seeing Sorrow's response, well...]

CELEBRITIES? IT JUST CONFIRMED IT'S TAKING HUMAN FORM TO FOOL US AS PART OF THIS WHOLE AFFAIR TO FEED OF EMOTION AND YET HERE YOU ARE ACTING LIKE A BLITHERING SIMPLETON TEEHEEING OVER THE LATEST CELEBRITY GOSSIP RAG WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU

Edited 2017-01-11 21:22 (UTC)

uh
a lot, actually, but that's besides the point

I know they feed off our emotions
they need to
do they do dickish things sometimes to get those emotions? sure
but I'm not gonna fault them for doing what they have to to survive and repopulate
I'd do the same thing
so y'know
it's cool

SYMPATHIZER!

And when they're done with you one day and you're an emotionless husk what then? or are you so beguiled by the fact that 'oh they look just like me I feel bad for them'? They're NOT like us and there may be no god in the heavens but I can tell you that this is what evil IS, nothing but taking and taking until there's nothing left and YOU want to support them with this cutesy BULLSHIT it's not real any of what they're telling you so don't believe it and don't listen to them no matter what they try to tell you and no matter what they come to you looking like or promising..

[And it goes on and on like that for quite a while. Frankly, autocorrect is the only reason the text looks even halfway coherent, with Marian shaking and typing as fast as she can.]

okay, first
it's not because they look like me. it's because I know what it's like to have to do something most people deem 'terrible' just to survive
i also know what it's like to be thought of as something 'evil' without being given a chance to show I'm not

so damn right I sympathize with them
hell, i'll fight for them if I have to because I believe i'm doing the right thing, a GOOD thing, by helping them rebuild their people and this place
and no one can change my mind on that

even if there's nothing left of me in the end, i'll still do it for them.
for Sorrow, for Hope, for Delight, for Rage, for Fear, for Confusion, for Tranquility, and Love. I'll give them anything and everything they need of me
just like other people who helped me when /I/ needed it despite those who told them not to, that I was a monster, that I was beyond saving

What kind of CHANCE we're talking about unknown entities who're taking people against their will even bringing in horrific monsters hurting people that never asked to be involved in any of this you're either crazy or a fool or BOTH for acting like you're some kind of hero and these things need protecting what part of they're NOT LIKE US don't you understand? They won't show you what they're actually like but I KNOW I'VE SEEN IT things like these, they're all the same but different twisting around in one big mass until the end because they can't die not REALLY but you cant call them alive either none of it's right NONE of it

I'm not trying to act like a hero!
Maybe I am both!
I don't know!

But it doesn't matter that they're not like us!
I'm not a person either, so does that mean I'm not worth protecting? That I'm not worth something? Fuck that!

I don't care what they are
but I believe they're genuine in wanting to restore their people and what they once were, no matter what you say

Of course they do, that's how it works! Ask yourself if you even know what their people were and how you know you want them back, why aren't they telling you anything? Because they're hiding it from all of us, they don't want anyone to know who or what they are because that'll be the end of everything and everyone you know will be dead dead DEAD

Maybe it's because they're scared? Maybe it fucking sucks talking about how your entire race was wiped out by something and now you're the only ones left?

[ Rose knows better than to think they're worried the same fate will befall them. They're an ends to a mean for the gods, she's not... She's not going to fool herself there. The only reason they'd be worried for their lives is because it would mean no energy source and she can accept that. ]

and so what if I die?
it wouldn't be the first time
at least this time it'd be on my own terms again
and for a good cause instead of nothing

YEAH IT DOES 'SUCK' WHAT DO YOU THINK I'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT

[Oh god, she doesn't want to think about it again. Better not to dwell on that, if she stopped to think about it too much... well she might start sounding crazy. Better get to the point.]

it's going to come down to us or them sooner or later and maybe you don't care if you die but the rest of us DO

I choose them
and if that puts me against some of the people here, then fine

I... suppose that makes some kind of sense.

Still. Why these particular pairings? What is it about these relationships that suggests a romantic inclination?

omg
did you just say I made sense?
hold on, I need to commemorate this moment
it might never happen again

[ Rosie, this is why he doesn't like you. ]

There's a lot of things, really!
Opposites attract is a big one. Kind of like you and Hope are really two sides of the same coin. Hope can be a great feeling, but when things don't go as you hope it can hurt like a bitch and make you sad instead.
Delight and Rage are one of those too, actually, in that you wouldn't think anger and happiness go together but sometimes they do in unexpected ways! Like maybe a bit of violence is cathartic and leaves you feeling better?
Fear and Hope are what we call a 'hateship.' People that outwardly seem to dislike each other but deep down do care about one another.
Confusion and Tranquility... Them? They actually just look really good together in my opinion.

So your reasons are less because of our personalities and interactions and more because of the emotions we represent, with the exception of Fear and Hope, who you want to see together because they dislike one another.

Humans are bizarre.

They are the most bizarre.
I think it's awesome.

Also, I mean! Yes and no.
I matched you up on your personalities too!!!
Like you and Hope are both kind of a bit more serious. Though he's the dreamer and you're the realist; you help keep him grounded and he lifts you up!
Rage is all fierce and kickass but Delight could be the one she shows her softer side to and finds comfort in.
Confusion is a spitfire while Tranquility is pretty chill. They balance each other out in that way! He probably finds it funny when she sasses people but helps make sure she doesn't go TOO far.

...if you insist.

I do!
Believe it or not, we usually have some method to our madness.

I'm not interested in finding out what that method is.

Then why even talk to me in the first place if it's 'ridiculous' and you don't wanna understand?

Admit it, you liiiikkkkeeeeeee us

[ She knows she's wrong, but he makes it too easy to tease. ]

You are a means to an end.

Well, sure
Technically people are a means to an end for my kind, too
But I still like 'em

Then they are more than that to you.
