DR Side Thread: BRACING FOR INCOMING BITCHSMACKING

[paradetherain]

[So after that whole deal, Isamu needs... a very long nap. Which is why he's shut himself in his room, attempting to sleep.]

[And he does. For a little while. Except now he's staring up at the ceiling in the middle of the afternoon, still exhausted. Yue had told him that Hypnos had been trying to start something called 'the Fall' in his world, and that the Universe arcana could seal Nyx... is that why he felt so terrible?]

[... Probably. He felt like he had the flu or something. And if Yue or any of his friends got wind of what he had gotten his dumb ass himself into...]

[Yeah, he was gonna be in trouble.]

... In a way. That's not to say that I don't have my own goals... but I try to keep them temporary. I was going to study to be a doctor for demons... and then I decided to try the basic Demon Buster training. I can help more people that way.

And... it's good work. I can protect the people and demons I care about. I get to travel all around Tokyo. I've become stronger, and I've met a lot of people.

[He smiles.]

I don't think that I'll ever be the best Demon Buster. I don't know if I can live up to how good Dad and Father are, or even how good Yue is. But I can try.

I do not believe in altruism, Isamu.

[You confuse him so much. He can't believe that you are all pure intentions; there are no untainted souls in this world. Or any world, actually.]

But I suppose what you believe in is just that. Your friends and family are perhaps very lucky to have you.

[arisato-isamu.livejournal.com]

I consider myself lucky to have them.

... What do you believe in, then? What does a god believe in?

[poppiesfield.livejournal.com]

Gods do not have anything to believe in.

[He smiles blandly.]

That is part of the price. What I believe, I can manifest; that is very dangerous.

... I guess you have a point.

[Tugs his blanket around himself more. Different topic, he supposes.]

You haven't been having any more nightmares recently, I hope.

[Gentle smile.]
