I despise humanity. I despise this cage.

[draculabutbackwards]

[Ah. One of those. Well. Adrian has learned a bit from managing Hunter halfway successfully. He doesn't approach head on, or indulge his yen for sarcasm.]

How are you defining humanity? It's rather a broad brush around here sometimes.

[sefirot]

Those human or those who relate to humans.

[draculabutbackwards]

Sorry, let me be more specific. Are humans by your definition a taxonomical category, or are you just describing everything with a finite lifespan and a level of sapience?

[sefirot]

Both.

[draculabutbackwards]

Ands you still find that useful?

[sefirot]

Humans don't need to be of use to me.

[draculabutbackwards]

I'm talking about your personal definitions. Especially here. Overly expansive classifications cease to be useful.

[sefirot]

That's the point. I don't like anyone here.

[draculabutbackwards]

[And he bites down hard on several different sarcastic remarks that would do nobody any good.]

Well, that much I can see, some days. You spar?

[It's just a guess.]

[sefirot]

Not recently. No one feels inclined to return my weapon.

[draculabutbackwards]

Enclosure can take care of that. Do you have a signature, or more of a generalist?

[sefirot]

The enclosure is not the same. It only creates imitations.

[draculabutbackwards]

I'm fairly certain the whole place is an imitation, but I can see why drawing the distinction might help, however arbitrarily. And you didn't answer my question.

[sefirot]

If this whole place is an imitation then it ultimately serves no puporse.

As for your question, the masamune is my weapon alone.

[draculabutbackwards]

[Was that so hard.]

And what I'm hearing is enclosure-only access wouldn't do it for you.

[sefirot]

[Yes]

It would be pointless. I also know how to use the Enclosure myself if I wanted to do that.

[draculabutbackwards]

So the followup question is what do you want your weapon for?

[Because the seething contempt suggests probably not self-defense.]

[sefirot]

You, like the others, fear what i mighht do.

It's my weapon, therefore why shouldn't I have it? If I wanted to kill someone I would have done it already.

[draculabutbackwards]

Of course people fear what you might do, you oozing carbuncle, people don't like being hurt. That's not a victory; that's what having a brain means.

[Patience, Adrian.]

But. Ownership seems the sticking point. I'd be tempted to grant it on the basis that you lose it if you make an unseemly decision, but that seems a bit cruel. So. What compromise can we reach?

[sefirot]

I've yet to strike anyone without provocation and there's only been one time where that has been necessary.

If I wanted to kill most people on this ship, I would have done so already.

I'm not sure what more you want.

[draculabutbackwards]

Yeah, I'm going to just work under the assumption that you know perfectly fucking well that going about saying "I hate all humans" is an action that has consequences. So we'll operate as though neither of us has been lobotomized. What do you want your weapon for?

[sefirot]

My hate for humanity does not mean I care enough to kill them all. They mean little to me over all, especially not anymore. And most here are not from my world so they mean even less.

I want the masamune because it is apart of who I am and it is my weapon alone.

[draculabutbackwards]

Which is why I don't care to play the game where it disappears if you misuse it. I wouldn't care to be without mine, either. But you're stuck dealing with mostly humans, and in my experience, they're not going to find I don't like you enough to stab you that comforting.

[sefirot]

I have godlike powers, and humans have done nothing except earn my ire, so not caring enough to strike against them should be a comfort.
