Poi 5, voice

[first_host]

[Her voice might sound a little tired, but it's nothing to be concerned about. Especially because she sounds fine other than that.]

I suppose since I've had the time to finally settle in somewhat and to figure out what is going on here, that I ought to offer my services. Or, well, my knowledge as the materials and methods to what I can and cannot do are a little difficult to get a hold of.

The first, and perhaps the more useful of the two, is that where I am from I was from a clan that was known for their sealing abilities. When I say sealing, I mean just that. Whether it be a method to have a scroll summon someone or store items to sealing rather... difficult creatures into vessels, it can be done. Though whether it can be done depends on a few factors. I suspect here, the most we would be doing would be summoning and sealing weaponry into potentially easier to carry vectors.

[She pauses for a moment, taking a slow deep breath.]

The other is that I have something of, I suppose a gift? from my time being the vessel of a particular creature of which is no longer with me, where I can sense negative emotions. This has proven... rather useful in diplomatic matters and, I suspect, there might be some use here. Whether it be things on the train or with the knowledge of this Ministry, should we need to speak to them again. I have yet to discover any sort of detriment or way to fake said sense, so I figure it rather... well, foolproof.

[Is she going to name herself? Nah. Of course not.]

And yet if I stuck one of them in a pit for a meager millennium or so, I'd be horrible and a monster and the greatest evil there could be. It's the double-standard that burns me up!

[Deep breath. Gods it's been a whole big old week.]

You're not wrong. It is a double standard but it's one people engage in all the time. At some point, the harm someone is doing is outweighing their personal freedoms. Kronos was dangerous in my world and was imprisoned in Tartarus for over a thousand years now. If he were released, he would terrorize everyone all over again.

He can't be killed. Gods can't be killed but they can go wrong and sour and destructive. Sometimes all one can do is keep them from hurting others and themselves.

I know it's very personal because you were trapped in a book for a long long time. You don't want that to happen to another being. But it's not happening to another being.

[badassfreakingoverlord]

According to them, it did. And I stick by what I said. Sometimes you just gotta take the loss. It keeps the cosmos turning.

[Zetta would fight as fierce as anything to stay on top -- but if and when the day came that he might be facing defeat, he wouldn't resort to binding up an enemy like that. Fair is fair.]

[springforth]

If it going to destroy everyone you care about, you would really just take the loss?

[badassfreakingoverlord]

Funny thing about that. When I got sealed into a book, it also destroyed everything I cared about! I may have my body back, but not my Netherworld, or my castle.

Well, it didn't destroy my title. I still have that.
