Song #5 - Video

[fourwayconnection]

Yo! So, that New Years party from a couple weeks back got me thinking.

[Kirikou seems pretty settled, if slightly annoyed, as he pets a Solrock that's decided the perfect place to put its rocky and spiny little self is right in his lap.]

I'm not going to pretend to understand how language in this freakin' place works, or ask anyone else to try and explain it to me because I still won't understand, but I am curious about something.

What kind of language do you speak back home? Anyone speak French or Brazilian Portuguese?

Comments

[fourwayconnection]

[YES. HELL YES.]

[Kirikou breaks into a wide grin at the sound of his mother's language, and immediately shifts into French himself.]

You have no idea how awesome that is to hear! I usually only got to hear this sort of thing when I was traveling on missions! You're Japanese then, right? How'd you get to learning this?

[crouching_sin]

Missions? What is it that you do?

And ah... I've learned every language I can get my hands on. I simply enjoy learning. It's just another subject to master.

[It's not entirely untrue.]

[fourwayconnection]

I'm a student at the DWMA. We protect people.

And wow, that's pretty intense. How many do you know?

[crouching_sin]

I'm not familiar with that... school, I'm guessing?

Too many to list. More than that if we include coding languages.

[fourwayconnection]

Yeah. Death Weapons and Meisters Academy. It's in Nevada.

Jeez, you're a computer guy too?

[crouching_sin]

I've never heard of it.

And I am! I majored in it, and I do freelance work.

[fourwayconnection]

DWMA or Nevada?

Cool! Were you doing any cool work before you got here?

[crouching_sin]

DWMA. I know where Nevada is.

I was. I had a large program that an organization had me make for them. It took several solid months of work, and a server that was bigger than any I'd worked with before.

[fourwayconnection]

Well, I guess that's normal. We're probably not from, like... The exact same world or whatever.

[Fucking world hopping.]

Whoa, sounds complicated. Did it turn out alright?

[crouching_sin]

Well, the program worked. Though I'm not sure I'm going to get paid since the group fell apart.

[fourwayconnection]

Ouch. That sucks. Is there anyone in charge you can get the money from?

[crouching_sin]

He... well. He's dead. I think his second in command is too.

[fourwayconnection]

...What the hell.

[crouching_sin]

There was somewhat of a crisis.

[fourwayconnection]

Yeah, that's sorta obvious. So, did you come out of it alright or what?

[crouching_sin]

I'm fine. Humanity may not survive as well, though. Constantly teetering on the edge of getting its free will removed won't be very productive for them.

[fourwayconnection]

...Okay, that? That doesn't sound fine!

[crouching_sin]

If humanity doesn't shape up under its new Messiah, God will take away their free will. So no, it's not fine. I, for one, refuse both of their authorities.

[fourwayconnection]

Well, it's good that you don't seem to worship this God or whatever, because seriously? He sounds like a major asshole. What's the deal with this Messiah anyway?

[crouching_sin]

'Asshole' is a good way to describe Him, yes. And the Messiah is supposed to lead humanity into a new age of peace under His rule. As I imagine you've figured out by now, humans don't tend to do well under a cruel dictator who monitors their every move.

[fourwayconnection]

...Can you beat him up?

[crouching_sin]

[Okay, that makes him laugh. Give him a few moments.]

That was my plan, before my cousin decided to become the Messiah instead. Unfortunately I don't have the power needed to break down the gates of Heaven.

[fourwayconnection]

[HEY it's a legitimate strategy!]

Does anyone, far as you know?

[crouching_sin]

[It really is.]

The king of demons. ... Who happens to be the Messiah, now.

[So yes and no.]

[fourwayconnection]

...Well that's awkward. How does that work anyway?
