First Abomination

[labarbebleue]

[Action: 462 Stone St.]

[Letting himself be consumed by a towering sea demon, Caster had intended to kill, ravage, and lay waste to everything around him. He wanted to let all the atrocities pile up to show the world and a certain person that a loving God is just an illusion. There exists only a cruel God who cared little for His creations. He

I've always said this place is Hell, and anyone has yet to prove otherwise to me.

[labarbebleue]

Hell is a place where the wicked are punished eternally for their sins. They are dealt with pain hundredfold greater than what they have induced when living. Here, I have been allowed to kill another child. This is not Hell.

[sanctusdei]

You must be new. Give it some time. The boredom here is fuckin' killer.

Did you seriously kill some kid? They'll be back tomorrow, you know.

[labarbebleue]

Children have yet to be accustomed to terror. Terror in children is dynamic to varying extremes. The hope that a child puts in his father being betrayed as his skull is torn open by him... is exquisite.

[Or at least, it should have been. The feeling seems... weaker ever since he came to this world.]

Then I should think of something different for tomorrow.

[guitarslaying]

Well thanks creepy phone call guy.

Hate to tell ya, but you got a wrong number.

[labarbebleue]

But this is a device I use to speak with other people. How could I have gotten the "wrong number" when that was my intention?

[guitarslaying]

Yeah, but I'm pretty sure you didn't mean to call me.

See, I've heard the "I've killed a child blah blah blah" prank call so many times there really isn't any effect any more.

[labarbebleue]

... Have people truly killed so many youths in this place? It would seem that I am among kindred spirits. Then, girl, would you say you are like me, another wicked soul spirited away into this world? You couldn't be a poor innocent like that little boy...

God, in his madness, gave man free will. And you, in your madness, realize how foolish acting on your free will is. That to have free will is, in and of itself, to blaspheme.

But in blaspheme, one realizes the true, cruel nature of the world God has formed. The world he tries to hold up as beautiful, and lovely, and wonderful, which in the end is nothing but dead, and grey, and still. A pathetic, ugly world.

Is what you do really so wrong, when what it does is expose his lies?

To stand in hell would not be a punishment, but rather a honor.

[Needless to say, Caster was fairly impressed with just how much this boy seemed to know. From the way she spoke so confidently and about the nature of God and His relationship with humans, he seemed very enlightened to Caster... and at such a young age too. Was such a thing possible? Caster takes a jovial tone as he speaks with Lucifer.]

Precisely! The world that God has created with His love is all just an illusion designed to fool his pitiful flock. His creations hide a deeper ugliness that can only be brought out through corruption. Ah, but upon discovering this, the resulting terror... that is far more beautiful than His illusion.

It may be an honor I wear proudly, but... why should one who continues to live in his lies, fighting for them until the bitterest end, have been damned by Him before I have?

[He isn't really sure who you are, Caster, but there's very little doubt in his mind that you're one of his.]

But can corruption not also be freedom? If what God has made is truly ugly, than changing it from its intended purpose is beauty, as you have said. However, you apply it only to terror. I believe it can be applied to the entire nature of man, eventually.

You are damned already, simply in a more subtle way than He would usually do so. It is the way he chooses to behave, on some matters.

[Damned? ... Yes, regardless of that glory from long ago, there was no doubt about that, was there? Caster has long since been damned and anything else is simply irrelevant. He can never forget it. He can never forget no matter how hard he tries that day in the Cathedral alongside Jeanne d'Arc. If he is already damned, then...

...

Even still...]

Right again! People who embrace corruption are freer than those who blindly follow God. It is only when you follow God's rules where you will inevitably fall into His trap.

You're quite perceptive for your age, boy. Just who are you?

[doudemoe]

...

[He really shouldn't even talk to the guy. But he needs to at least put in a one-liner.]

The child will come back tomorrow, so it makes sense you're spared from punishment.

[phone]

[labarbebleue]

Life can be wasted a million times, but it would all be a trifle in this place. Then life... is worthless in this town?

[stoppedhiding]

The threat of punishment is all that would stop you from hurting others?

[labarbebleue]

If I must be punished, then it should be by the hands of God! But God has allowed me to act as I would... it means nothing if a fellow man stops me again!

[stoppedhiding]

I'm not interested in hearing about your delusions of grandeur. Wreaking havoc the way you say you will is pointless here and will only earn you enemies.

[labarbebleue]

What do I care if I have a few more enemies? I will destroy anybody and everybody who stands in my way. Then, I would be more than obliged to give an education on despair.
