Seiben - Uber Stimmungen (Voice then Action)

[ubermensching]

It has come to my attention that there is some force currently at work that appears to be able to assert influence over some of our residents here. Specifically, it seems to instill a far greater tendency towards aggression then usual. Considering I have only been here a month, aside from the post office I have only heard of some of the "games" this town appears to play on its inhabitants.

I'm wondering, does anyone believe this might be another action initiated by the town? Has their been a precedent of the town manipulating emotions before, or of it only affecting a select few rather then all present? Has anyone else noticed this increase in aggression, or have I, perhaps, given in to man's tendency to....over-think, I believe, is the statement.

It can't be one of our own doing this, of course. I'd be surprised if anyone had that much power here. And if they did, I would be surprised if they were honestly foolish enough to inflict it upon people with no rhyme or reason.

Certainly none of us here are that foolish, are we?

[Later on, you can also find Wilhelm at the library. While it's technically his job, he appears to be perusing the books in an attempt to find something useful he may have overlooked, though he clearly finds this a hopeless endeavor. So maybe he's just slacking off.

Feel free to bother him regardless.]

I would almost wish I didn't know, but wishing for ignorance is the pinnacle of foolishness. I suppose I was merely wishing.

Which is an inherently human trait.

This place seems to have a unique effect on its residents.

[repeatsalvation.livejournal.com]

One would almost think it a genius locii, if not for the fact that older residents have confirmed there seem to be normal captors responsible for this.

*Glancing at that eye patch.* But hardly ordinary by the standards of the humanity we know, else such feats as those we've seen them perform would be well outside their range of ability.

[repeatsalvation.livejournal.com]

Precisely. It's very likely that many, perhaps even most, of those who have been gathered here are more akin to as we are then to mankind in general.

[He ignores the glance at the eyepatch. He'll only go into detail about it if asked. Otherwise, it's an unnecessary point to talk about.]

[fractured-white.livejournal.com]

I'd noticed as well that those present are hardly on the level of ordinary men. One in particular I think you'd rather enjoy meeting~

[repeatsalvation.livejournal.com]

And who might that be?

[fractured-white.livejournal.com]

A human woman I've been talking to that shares many of our views on the worth of subjecting oneself to the wills of others.

[repeatsalvation.livejournal.com]

[He honestly lifts an eyebrow at this.]

What a curiosity you've found. Might this be what you intend to show your brother and I?

[fractured-white.livejournal.com]

Naturellement. She's recovering from her own encounter with the Post Office at present, but I think you'll be very interested to speak with her.

[repeatsalvation.livejournal.com]

I would be surprised if you ever brought anything back that could be classified as boring.

[fractured-white.livejournal.com]

Such would defeat the purpose of trying to make things interesting~

[repeatsalvation.livejournal.com]

And you're hardly known as a defeatist.

[fractured-white.livejournal.com]

I'd much rather accomplish my goals as I desire them~

[repeatsalvation.livejournal.com]

I'd be dismayed by anyone who didn't.

[fractured-white.livejournal.com]

A shame the woman won't be able to walk unaided for a while. But I'm sure Rubedo can wait a little while longer to find out what I have in store for him~

[repeatsalvation.livejournal.com]

Can't walk?

A possible trade she had made?

[fractured-white.livejournal.com]

What else, given events from before my request?

[repeatsalvation.livejournal.com]

If she was akin to you in ideology, I could think of reasons.

Gonna be on AIM?

[fractured-white.livejournal.com]

*Have an amused chuckle, though he refrains from pulling out his knife. No fun in that now.* She doesn't seem in the habit of putting herself in harm's way, except perhaps when testing her own limits and those of others. Though she does deem the injury worth the reward.

Not tonight, probably tomorrow

[repeatsalvation.livejournal.com]

Then she is a wise woman, indeed.

Alright. *Is off getting Albedo injured.*

[fractured-white.livejournal.com]

The surprise is for Rubedo, if you don't feel like being left in the dark~ *It amuses him so much to be able to say that to Wilhelm.*

Have fun with that!

[repeatsalvation.livejournal.com]

[You can almost hear the small smirk he's wearing.]

That is something I cannot tolerate for all too long. Perhaps if you might find a time for I to meet her. Of course, I hardly wish to intrude. [That smirk is definitely more audible somehow right there.]

He's so annoyed that I'm getting him into a fight when he can't feel the pain XD

[fractured-white.livejournal.com]

I hardly have anything else to occupy my time when I'm not visiting my other half~ *A bit of a raised eyebrow at the audible smirk at the end.* Though I'm not sure what you expect to be intruding upon.

I like that it's simply annoyance

[repeatsalvation.livejournal.com]

You always tend to surprise even me sometimes, Albedo.

I simply hold out that, on occasion, even I cannot predict what you will do.
