Ω → seven [audio; open to action]

Promethius defied the Gods by granting a boon to humanity, and was condemned to death for his compassion.

[ A pause. He's been scarce lately. But with how deadpan his voice is, one thing that always gives him away is the soft music playing in the background. Opera. Specifically, Richard Wagner. And today's choice is oddly appropriate. ]

It appears to be a running theme all throughout history: No good deed going unpunished. No hero that, in time, is denied martyrdom. I often wonder why this one lesson is routinely ignored. But, now, perhaps, I see why. Human nature requires inspiration before it begins to to act upon its desires.

Perhaps now this performance will enter its final act.

If you are asking if I can see, and attempt to change, the future to a more favorable outcome, the answer is yes.

[Having the music played in the room was always a mixed bag. Sometimes Guy didn't mind. Other times, it drove him up the wall. Considering what he'd just gone through only a week ago, this music is hitting the latter category. Why is it even playing if Wilhelm is out using the terminal, anyways?

Barely able to concentrate on his reading with the opera music playing, Guy shuts his book and slips out of the room, only too catch the end of Wilhelm's little speech. He hesitates, his book slipping under his arm.]

...So, I take it you're figuring out another piece of your puzzle.

[ Wilhelm Glances at the Compass for a moment, and almost appears not to have heard Guy at first. But he soon turns to Guy, moving one of the pieces on his wooden chess board. ]

That is correct.

[action]

[relinquishing]

[He sighs tiredly, leaning up against the doorframe]

And what event triggered this, if I might ask? You mentioned a martyr.

[action]

[oforder]

Have you heard of Dax?

[action]

[relinquishing]

[There's a slow nod, Guy already gaining some clarity over his expression.]

Yeah. He's the administrator who was killed.

What about him?

[action]

[oforder]

Do you draw no parallels between what I said over the network, and what I am saying now?

[Action, Third Floor Library.]

[While there weren't too many nonfictional books here, Raphael had decided to gather up a few more books on human mental disorders before heading back into the infirmary. He couldn't be gone too long, but he hadn't been able to find a good book on depression last time.

..However, when he heard some odd music playing and a man speaking into the terminals, he couldn't help but ask..]

..What is this music? I have not heard it before.

[Action]

[oforder]

[ Wilhelm turns to face the newcomer, and tilts his head. ]

Opera.

[Action]

[godheals]

..I have not heard of opera before..but perhaps it is something that comes from the future as well.

[Action]

[oforder]

It has existed for millenia.

[Action]

[godheals]

It does where you come from. Sadly, it doesn't exist in the time period that I come from..and even then, human things do not come into Heaven very often.

[What.]

[Action]

[oforder]

Indeed they do not.

[ He says that with certainty. ]

[loves_spirits]

Erm, sorry, but may I ask what are you talking about?

[Coming from a whole different world of dragons and mages, Lucy knows nothing about mythology.]

[oforder]

They are metaphors.

[loves_spirits]

Then what do you mean by 'final act'?

[oforder]

Precisely what I imply.

[Audio] /fails to add this. Sob.

[loves_spirits]

You mean the destruction of this tower?

[Her imagination is prone to go wild.]

[Audio]

[oforder]

Likely not. That would be far too predictable of a climax to the performance.
