This school boasts about forming a last bastion against Nightfall, but all I truly hear are tales of student-on-student violence and poor prevention measures for such incidents. I was brought here under the pretenses of 'channeling my talents more productively', but I can't help wondering if this isn't just a quarantine zone for those who are deemed potentially troublesome. Let them cause trouble for each other, rather than for those in power.

Not that I mind. I've never once considered using my talents 'productively'. That is just synonymous with 'for other people'. I hold no interest in becoming a tool for anyone.

[ Miach's been going to this school since the start of the semester, and she's spoken to exactly nobody since. She's just... around. A silent new presence on campus, always with a book in hand, never greeting anybody. If that's the kind of person you'd approach, you can find her anywhere, but most commonly in the library.

Note for faculty: Miach got transferred away from her last school for summoning a demon and getting students injured. Faculty would likely be informed of this ahead of time. ]

That's exactly the right thinking. People like to think of 'human' and 'monster' as mutually exclusive terminology, but I'm also inclined to disagree. There is nothing inherently holy about mankind.

[lastexit]

No, but there is something inherently unholy about trying to wipe it from the face of the earth.

[imitationsoul]

Why? Where do you draw the line between violence that is neutral and violence that is 'unholy'?

[lastexit]

I can hear when people cross that line. That's my thing. Certain beliefs twist a person, like, say, that its okay to just kill people for no reason.

I'm done with this, I have the feeling I won't like what I hear from you.

[imitationsoul]

You probably won't.

But if you ever feel like specifying in more concrete terms, I'm here.
