[He was slightly amused to find that a profession had been arbitrarily granted to him. Even more amusing was the fact that he had been made a librarian. He supposed that handling books and physical manifestations of knowledge wouldn't be very different from the other means he usually had of handling such.

Still, it was an odd feeling, listening to people ask him for specific titles and having to find them. He was much more used to being able to call up any knowledge he needed at the moment that it took a bit of getting used to even for him. Yet there was something thrilling about being forced into relying on the limitations of a human body. And even if much of the job seem repetitious, it was at least a learning experience for him in the boundaries that actually seemed to provide hindrances to mortal men in simple tasks.

Though even now, he couldn't understand how it was so hard to put things in perfect alphabetical order.]

[OOC: So Wilhelm will be working at the library for the rest of the day. Feel free to come bug the hell out of him at work.]

A strange feeling, like being chained to the earth, isn't it? And yet not entirely unpleasant. I suppose even prisoners must have their pleasantries.

While society, or man's apparent desire and creation of it, does in fact invoke the creation of good and evil, I would argue that there remains the possibility of a society being created when such ideals are cast aside. But of course, this remains to be seen if man might reach it.

Men desire different things, certainly. But the ways they desire to gain them are often the same.

Even the beating of a heart long since stopped is worthy of interest...although Rubedo's is currently outside my reach.

Such arbitrary divisions are the nature of human perception. But no, not arbitrary, is it? Men seek out others like themselves and exclude those that differ. Is that not the basis for such perceived travesties as holy wars? Even wars between nations are so frequently sparked by disagreements over the undefined notions of good and evil or else attributed to them when those responsible don't wish to admit to the greed and insecurity they slaughtered so many to quell.

Very rare is the mortal that acts not out of personal greed.

And yet they so rarely admit what it is that really motivates them, do they? It has always been better to attempt to say they've had some greater good in mind then to realize the factors that truly push them.

I suppose until man realizes that, it will always be earthbound, and never head skyward.

That reliance upon the opinions and perceptions of others forces men to seek out an excuse for behavior otherwise dubbed 'evil' by their peers. What better mask for greed than wishing to liberate the oppressed? Such a shame they're so adept at deceiving themselves as well.

And unfortunate that they never realize that that which they've labeled greed has been responsible for their survival.

Greed is the very basis for human development, no? Without such as motivation, mankind wouldn't have been able to reach beyond the confines of their land of birth until the fear of a dying planet forced them to do so. That is, assuming the species survived that long.

I have always wondered if man was not inherently self-destructive, with how greatly it loathes that which retains its survival.

*He throws his head back and laughs, uncaring of the drones he startles out of their reading.* And yet, the mere mention of death's approach sends them clinging to whatever they believe able to preserve their fleeting existence. Ironic, really, that mortals wish for the very curse I spent the latter half of my physical existence seeking to rid myself of. But perhaps not a curse if shared with those dearest to us...

It is truly rare to find a being who has no need for social interaction. It would make you wonder if such an existence would be one to be admired or pitied.

Such a being isn't even fit to be called human. Even a tool of war such as myself desires certain companionship.

Better to be selective then to wish to have any company at all, i should think.

Such standards are necessary in a world so filled with those unable to project their own will onto the world.

It would be better, then, to lead those who can to project their wills.

Unfortunate that humans with such force of will and the required intelligence to make use of it are so uncommon.

And so many of those who are lack either the desire to do so, or knowledge they can.

As well as the ability to comprehend one with motivations beyond their experience.

Comprehension has always been the last tool most look to.

Perhaps were it not, your interference wouldn't be required. Men are such foolish creatures.

And yet they can learn.

Our own home plane has not become an example of that.
