I think I'd better say this before anything worse happens.

If you are particularly religious, particularly if you are Mesian, Christian, Jewish, or anyone else who would be offended talking to someone who had killed YHVH back home, please tell me in this post and then we can just not talk to each other and save ourselves a lot of trouble.

We're fighting the administrators, not each other.

[... Well that's new.]

Seriously?

[alephbet]

Seriously. I wouldn't give myself this kind of reputation if it wasn't true.

[kudas_to_you]

Impressed, not offended.

Care to elaborate? Reasons are often more explainatory than endings.

He was going to wipe out most of humanity. I don't regret what I did for a second, but I know that a good number of people either don't know His true nature or live in a world where He isn't evil.

[marchwarden]

...You've killed someone?

[ The elf seems a tad shocked but that is only because he wouldn't expect Aleph to kill anyone without just cause. ]

If I may ask for what reason did you commit such a deed?

[alephbet]

More than one, but the one we're talking about is a god who was going to wipe out most life on the planet.

[So does that count.]

Why would people get offended? If you didn't do that, most of humanity would have been killed, right?

[Text]

[alephbet]

Yes. And I'm not apologizing for it. But it's hard to explain that every time it comes up and have them believe that God could possibly be cruel.

[fractus_animus]

That's some serious accomplishment right there. But to be honest if they're not going to cooperate and be idiots they'll end up dead and revive here anyway, so why bother? Might make them learn to stop being blithering idiots.

[alephbet]

I don't want to get used to killing people just because they'll revive.

[worldend_dominator]

YHVH? As in the Christian God?

[Thanks to her father's and daughter's love of the occult, Rosa knew one or two things about Christianity.]

That's impossible. Even if he exists...

[alephbet]

As in Him, yes.

It is possible. And He does, did, exist.

Thank you?

[firstofthefallen]

You are a fool.

But I can't help but appreciate the form of foolishness you practice.

[Because even if, tactically, it could be a bad idea to reveal that part of you so obviously to the network?

Lucifer can't help but admire that you refuse to hide who you are and what you've done.]

[alephbet]

That ends up a compliment. Thank you.

Don't worry. I'm not going to try to out you.

I'd be curious about the circumstances, but not offended.

[alephbet]

He was about to destroy most of humanity. It was the right thing to do.

[This is too interesting to even anon to answer.]

Well, that's an interesting subject to claim about, isn't it?

[After all, he did Geass the Collective Unconscious, and that's probably the only time he does something that ridiculous...]

[alephbet]

The truth. Saying it otherwise would be asking for trouble for no reason.

[pitiedthefool]

Can't say I would be offended considering my own "habit", but isn't saying something like this on the network half-asking for trouble?

[> You are concerned for this fellow person's well-being...]

voice|filtered;

[alephbet]

I wouldn't even say it's 'half', but saying it where no one can immediately punch me is probably better...

[ultimately video] but might as well be action too I am so sorry

*He hadn't thought he'd encounter something like this when he went to check for replies to his post earlier that morning.

killed YHVH - his eyes scanned the words several times, his mouth following as he tried to give them meaning. For the first several attempts his mind refused to see it, verb and Tetragrammaton unrelated anomalies in the midst of the message.

killed

YHVH

killed...

A heaviness forms in the pit of his stomach as it finally comes together and his mind starts racing, his hands tremble and then clench above the keyboard as his mouth starts to dry. Somewhere in there, he's aware of the impossibly cruel God Naoya described in Meridian, but even knowing that possibility, the thought of any version of the God he serves being killed pulls at the back of his throat like nausea. An Enoch who had never met Naoya in Meridian may have been immediately enraged, but the knowledge that there was a chance it may have been against a tyrant tempers that, adds sorrow and pain in a completely different way. But he can't even accept that. He can't be all right with the death of any version of God. Everything all four centuries of his life has meant to him rides on that. Churning hot and deathly cold settle in his gut at once, despair and rage at war.

He forces his hands to unclench, but can't do any more as he stares at the keyboard. His fingers are shaking too much to type. His mind can scarcely form words to begin with. Eventually, he reaches over instead to turn on the video feed.

And all he can do is stare into the camera, mouth and throat working desperately to speak but his mind not supplying the words, his face the very image of the conflict pulling his mind and body into discord.

For now, it seems, that's all the response Aleph will see from him.*

[alephbet]

I won't say I'm sorry, because I'm not. He deserved it. But I do understand that others may have come from worlds different versions of him. Kinder versions. Or they may just have lived far different lives from me.

[Platina is from Midgard. This will go about as well as it's supposed to.]

May I ask what YHVH is?

[alephbet]

A god.
