2nd revelation [video]

[Heather looks sulky and a bit awkward as the feed starts.]

Um, hi people. So, this place is absolute torture.

[She looks down, off screen for a second before turning her gaze back upon the viewers.]

Does anybody know any way to make it more, I dunno, bearable? Like, is there anything to do or something? Anything at all.

[She sighs softly.]

Well, that's all I guess. Please. Anything.

Depends on what you would do to take your mind off of it.

This place offers many a distraction.

[It takes some doing, but she finally figures out how to switch it to text. She feels weird responding to a text with a video message.]

Well, anything I guess. This place is like freakin' Auschwitz.

Ausch- what?

[Curious now.]

[Heather cocks her head slightly to the side. Is he serious?]

Auschwitz? Like, that famous concentration camp? Come on, who hasn't heard of it?

I haven't. But then there aren't many other people here from my World.

Tell me about it.

[Concentration camp? Like to concentrate some sort of subtance, or a type of people maybe, he imagines.]

[Wow, this is going to be tough.]

Well, concentration camps were like these places where Hitler took all the Jews and made them do work and stuff and, well, he killed most of them, but he didn't like Jews and stuff so he was trying to get rid of all of 'em. To "cleanse the world" or something. And Auschwitz was like, the most famous one. I dunno why.

[She's not sure if that's a good enough explanation for him, but she's not a goddamn historian.]

Wait, what kinda world are you from?

[He doesn't know of Hitler or of Jews, but Sephiroth's intelligent enough to get the gist. He doesn't much understand how concentrating any particular type of people in one place would do anyone any good in regards to 'clensing' the world of them though. After all they'd still be present on the world!

Using such a device back home would have taken entirely too much work for a race that was overdue it's extinction already, but so widespread. And comparing it to the Tower; well it was a close comparison, concentrating so many souls together in one place like it does.]

My Planet was called Gaia. It was mine.

Yours? What, were you like the king of the world or something?

[She's half being sarcastic, but half actually wondering.]

Much more than that. Not that it makes much difference now.

[Heather's not sure what to make of this.]

Uh-huh. What?

My Planet was mine to rule. A king would only rule on the surface, but I had the Lifestream as well.

[She's probably going to ask what the Lifestream is but he's not afraid to tell. He's proud of what he achieved back home, and should recall it more often rather than dwelling on his failures.]

The Lifestream?

[It sounds ominous, alright. But she has no idea what he's talking about.]

The Lifestream is the river of life that flowed through my Planet, all things were born from it and all things return to it when they die.

Hence why it makes no difference now. If the Planet is dead then there is no Lifestream anymore.

[She's not sure whether this guy's on drugs or if there's actually some kind of living river on his planet, but she's heard stranger things.]

Huh. Well I gotta tell ya, that's really weird.

[But it's not that hard to get your head around it. Sephiroth sighs at the terminal. Further proof that he must go a great deal more to demonstrate his capabilities in this place.]

Not really.

What happened to all of the Jews after they died at Auschwitz? Their life energies, their memories. Where did they go?

[She's not quite sure how to answer this. In fact, she's not even sure what she believes about that kind of thing.]

Uh, heaven or whatever I guess. Or maybe they just got... snuffed out. I dunno.

[After what happened in Silent Hill, she has a hard time believing in heaven and god, but there are some people she just doesn't want to think of as being gone forever. It's a hard question for her,]

Or returned to your own Lifestream, to be broken down and filtered again into new life.

Understand now?

[After all, he used it as only an example. Heaven and God of an Earth-realm he's heard of but not really given any consideration since it doesn't apply to him at all. He had so-nearly been the God of his own world]

[That sounds like exactly what happened to her before, so yes, she certainly does understand.]

Yeah, I think so. Hell, makes more sense than some god inviting you up into the clouds.

[So other worlds may have their own Lifestream's after all. Good to know, considering the legacy. This world might have one too, by extension]

Why would a God want to do that?

[She shrugs.]

Some kind of eternal paradise bullshit.

[He'd wanted that. Once.

Before he'd been proven that the Planet wasn't worth it.]

A paradise in the clouds?

[She shrugs noncommittally.]

I dunno. That's just what all the Christians and whatever believe. My dad never really pushed any religion on me.

[Not after what he'd seen. She understands how hard it would be to keep your beliefs (if you had any, that is) after what her father witnessed first hand. The same thing she herself just went through. But he had an outside point of view, thank god, rather than being in the center of it all like she was.]

I understand, unproven belief basically.

[Which is Sephiroth's opinion on any sort of religion.]

Then your father was much more of a realist then?

[She shrugs.]

Yeah, I guess so. We never really talked about anything like religion. Waste of time, ya know?

Couldn't agree more.
