[Early in the morning--perhaps one or two--there's a series of violent explosions that seem to originate in the residential elevator shaft. The elevator itself plummets--anyone unlucky enough to be inside is killed either by the explosion or the fall, although they won't be able to recall which due to apparent unconsciousness.

Jason sends this message not long after the explosions quiet down.]

WHAT have you lot done this time? Are you trying to crack the Tower in half? HOW did you even get explosives? Do you know what you've just DONE? This is going to be a mess. It's your own fault, but given I'm on babysitting duties, I'm going to do my best to fix this as quickly as possible. It'll still take a week or so, though.

Until then--well, maybe you should figure out which of your revolutionaries had THIS bright idea and give them a talking to, because pretty soon you're all going to find out what that explosion broke.

(There will be no NPC response to this post.)

The world is irrational. I'm sure it's the case with other worlds, too. [ Hagire laughed, and then clapped his hands again. ] But I'll bite. If you want me to understand so badly, I'd love to hear all about it. ✩

[blackwitch]

Are you suuuure you'll even be able to understand it? People's minds and witches' minds are on a whole different level, you kno-w? I don't want to just waste effort!

[hemoeroticism]

Only one way to find out. ✩

[blackwitch]

[ She sighs. ]

Fi-ne.. but if you waste my time, I'm not going to forgive you. [ For a moment it actually sounded annoyed before it goes back to her more airy tone. At least thinking about her powers (and consequentively how clearly amazing she is) makes her feel a little better. ]

Imagine you would never grow any older nor die. And then on top of it you have complete control over life and death.. then stuff easily gets boring, doesn't it?

[hemoeroticism]

Mm... maybe. But Wretched Egg would find that fun...

[ He ponders that for a moment. ]

Go on? ✩

[blackwitch]

Isn't it easy to see? If you have complete control like that, then you get more picky, of course! Witches won't die, so they live and live and see the same stuff over and over.. it's enough to get sick of..! [ Sure, she might not have been a witch for long, but since she's still so "young" she's more impatient than the other ones.. ] So boredom is like death to witches, that's why you've got to keep fighting new ways for people to pathetically dieee..!

[ After that exclamation it takes a moment for her to calm down again.. ]

.. That's why stuff here lately has been so boring. Their suffering isn't creative anymore at a-ll.

[hemoeroticism]

Oh, really?

[ Well, that was more interesting than he thought. She has his full, undivided atention now. ]

Now we're talking. ✩

[blackwitch]

[ she giggles. ]

See..? I knew people who aren't witches just wouldn't understand. We're on a completely different level than humans-- they're nothing more than toys, you know? [ Now she's just getting cocky. ]

[hemoeroticism]

But toys are meant to be played with. ✩

[blackwitch]

That's exactly why we play with them! Nothing is better than breaking a toy over and over when you know you can just fix it up again right away and there's no one around to punish you for it..! It's like a game that never ends!

[hemoeroticism]

Hmm... you know... that does sound like something I'd love. ✩

[blackwitch]

We-ll, you can't have it. [ She sounds like a little kid that's holding some toy over another kid's head, honestly.. ]

This is the kind of power I worked su-per hard for, not just anyone can become like me!

[hemoeroticism]

Oh well. I doubt I can have it in a world like this, anyway. ✩
