the ones who are monsters are most usually the ones who don't appear to be.

[disillusionists]

Do you speak from experience?

[xuffasch]

it would be stupid of me not to. then it would be simply speculation.

[disillusionists]

Perhaps you're stupid enough to speculate.

[xuffasch]

i imagine you're the one doing the speculation, since you're asking the question.

[disillusionists]

Ouch.
That aside,
Maybe you can tell me about your experiences with monsters then.

[xuffasch]

well, there is the man who lived too long.

death had no power over him, and he had enough time to shift the very course of history, all for his own ends.

and if his body became weak, he could take another, and overcome the spirit inside.

[disillusionists]

A spirit?

[xuffasch]

the person. whatever you want to call it--their "soul" or what have you.

[disillusionists]

And you would consider him a monster.

[xuffasch]

it is one thing to kill a person. it is quite another to steal everything they are.

[disillusionists]

Was the man ever "defeated"?

[xuffasch]

it appeared so, once.

then he came back.

[disillusionists]

Of course he did.

[xuffasch]

i don't think anything or anyone can be a monster unless they seem unbeatable.

[disillusionists]

Hmm.
That might be true.
