Ufufufu~ it seems like a lot of you are desperate for some help... [ The provocative laughter seemed to echo as the dragon witch spoke. A bored sounding tone followed. ] ...A cure for that disgusting sickness.

[ Get the facts first. You can distort them later. That was how it worked, right? One had to wonder if she really was telling the truth about knowing anything at all. The silence was broken. ]

While you sit there uselessly stewing in your disease, I made quick work of something else. [ Like hell she would call whatever that rodent was a person. ] Before the vermin was reduced to ash, it enlightened me on a few things.

Rejoice, garbage - for I will share them with you. [ With her sharp tongue and disrespectful words, one had to wonder why she was doing this. Maybe she was lying, maybe she was bored...or maybe she just knew someone who was sick and this was an indirect way of helping... ]

The disease was manufactured by the Institute, stolen, and released... hahahah...obviously. Part of the cure is a stupid plant - the Yuwi flower, is what was mentioned. [ Fingers drumming on some sort of surface can be heard as she goes quiet. That was all she knew. ]

Well, I have long proved my competency among you morons, what have you done? Better get to doing something! Hahahahah!

Christ, if you want someone who shows consideration, you're better off looking for that trashy holy woman or a nun.

[ It was audible, but said in a vexed tone almost under her breath. ]

Every place has its troubles, sure, but what are we supposed to do about it? As far as I am concerned, it isn't my problem.

["Trashy" and "holy woman" don't exactly go together in his mind. Color him confused.]

I'd say it became our problem once they started launching wide-scale attacks that could have hit us.

[Beat.] We live here now too, you know.

[ He had a point, but she ignored it because she didn't like being wrong. ] Tch, we may live here, but is it really our responsibility to deal with protecting everyone? It isn't my job.

[ It sort of was Jeanne's considering her position as a Heroic Spirit, but he didn't need to know that. ]

I'd say that you should do what you can.

[He pauses, then raises an eyebrow before speaking again, inwardly grateful that she can't see a slightly amused expression flit across his face.]

You must believe in that at least a little, or you wouldn't have told us what you know, hm?

Maybe I just don't like the way the mastermind is going about this. They have a stupid plan. [ She spoke as if she had a better one, or was even remotely planning something like this herself. The deflection is real. ]

You not liking their plan implies you know what they're aiming for.

[He's pretty sure she's bluffing. Probably. Still, it can't hurt to call it out, right?]

So? What's their motivation for this sort of attack?

[ She didn't actually know, but she could venture a guess - based solely on her own motives, of course. ]

Total annihilation of everyone here. A joke of a false god who instead of subjecting their creations to a world without their love, would choose to destroy them. Christ, it's really sad. I don't know what's more depressing; that people believe in gods love in the first place or that they continue believe it now.

...From what I've experienced with gods, they're hardly deserving of much love in the first place.

[The evil ones were soul-devouring eldritch monstrosities, and the "good" one was only good in that it was pretty much there to stop the evil ones, was barely around except when they called it by belief, and its help was limited enough that even an evil guy could take advantage of its aid. Hardly the best examples for him to draw on.]

Well? You say all gods would be like that, even here? Or just how people see them?

Hahahah!

Believers accept everything that happens to and around them as some sort of divine will. Only, I would surely like to see the look on their faces when they realize they will never have love from their god - be it because he has abandoned them or never existed at all. Hahaha! All that faith and motivation, wasted.

It is upon that realization that people retreat into their despair. They seek answers, and reparations for dedicating their pathetic lives to an imaginary cause. They become vengeful, and then it is my job to... [ Why was she discussing this with him? Perhaps it was because this was one of her favorite things to talk about. She felt rather passionate. ]

That's beside the point. Of course all gods are the same.

Gods only help those who help themselves.

[A succinct response to her own ranting, but in his experience...it is true. The Earthbounds only came to those who died with the intent of taking revenge for said deaths, and the Crimson Dragon swapped marks around to reflect the fighting wills of all its bearers...it could only be like that, right...?]

...Is that why? [Why you see humans as...garbage? Refuse...?]

[ It took this kid long enough to put two and two together. ]

Gods don't help anyone, even if they were to exist. If that's the case, and God was real and won't even help mankind, it makes you wonder why, doesn't it? Perhaps God just thinks they are garbage too! Hahahaha!

[Hey. He's a shonen protag. He's allowed his requisite allowance of denseness.]

I wouldn't say that.

[He sounds half-infuriated, half-resigned. As if he's made some kind of argument like this before.]

If that was so, this God would have disposed of us already, right? [Pause.] I don't think there's anything in this world that's useless. [Ah. There's the familiar statement.]

Would have gotten rid of, or is doing so now. What's the difference really? [ The bitterness underlying her tone remained apparent even as the overall seemed exasperated. ]

Its people like you who make it difficult. Won't just roll over and accept it. Now that I think about it, maybe that's what makes it so fun to deny your faith altogether. Hahaha!

Hmph. If we rolled over and died whenever anything wanted us to, we wouldn't have succeeded at much.

[That's a direct quote from Martha, honestly. How else would she have motivated her kids to live in the Satellite?]

Then again, that's why those so-called gods have it in for us, right? It'll have to work if it wants us gone.

[ At first she wasn't sure if she would have particularly liked this one, and while she never really liked anyone (or so she said), she was certain that this person with whom she had been speaking was at least a little less annoying than normal. ]

So you would deny God then? Looks like you are enlightened after all. Hahaha!

I've fought gods before. [In card game battles.] If I have to do so again, I don't mind. Although, I hardly think that makes me enlightened.

[ Looks like the joke went way over his head. How annoying. Just like how this tedious conversation was now. ]

Great, you do that then.

[ With that she would terminate the connection. Christ! ]

[Oh. Huh.

He should feel bad about apparently offending this person, but...he can't quite bring himself to do that. He's actually not sure what to feel about them. On the one hand, the information they provided was valuable, but on the other hand, their apparent belief system...

...He'll settle for bemused annoyance. That'll work.]
