To Bowl like a Man

[hontobakabaka]

Who:  Ruri and Mordred
Where:  The bowling alley

[So she woke up in some bowl o ramma place, Ruri was used to weird things here.  The kind of fancy dress was a bit silly, but the place seemed empty despite being set up.  At least there was food to be found but the silence]

"Hello?  Is anyone here?"

I will admit I had never taken the time to study humans... I was told to simply keep my distance because they would revile me as a monster, so I thought they were monsters in turn. I never stopped wishing that I was one of them, though.

I had little else to do other than study them. Both Omoikane and I had to deal with them so we figured it would be best to learn what kind of idiots we would be interacting with.

[Shakes his head] I never had the opportunity. By the time I was able to leave our homestead, I was completely dedicated to becoming the best knight out of all the knights of the Round Table.

Well, then take this opportunity to do what you want. I don't think Mayfield has a round table.

[While in a way he's been doing that, he never really thought about it, so he looks a little surprised]

Do what I want.... I.... what do I want to do? My creator had her ambitions for me, and I was always chasing after Mother... I have no idea what to do with my life now.

Now is a great time to try and figure it out then.

[She nods]

[Scratching his head] Being a knight here is not an easy task...

[Thinks]

Have you decided for yourself what you want to do?

[hontobakabaka.livejournal.com]

Here? I'm still working on a way back. At home... It may sound petty, but, I want to catch the people who killed my family.

[sonthatdisappoints]

[Shaking his head]

That is not petty. I would do the same... Mother would say that it is 'justice'.

[hontobakabaka.livejournal.com]

I don't even know what I would do with them if I did. Lock them away and let them rot for all I care, I just don't want them to be out doing that to other people.

[sonthatdisappoints]

That is definitely what Mother would call 'justice',then.

[Pensive]

For a very long time, I confused it with 'revenge', but Mother has taught me it is not the same thing. 'Justice' is a true knightly ideal.

I was taught, that if you kill someone, they are incapable of learning, or understanding the suffering their actions have brought. Though I sometimes wonder if they are capable of learning at all if they do things like that.

[sonthatdisappoints]

Sometimes they are.

[Cue the internal angst and remorse] I... made many, many mistakes. I was given a second chance here, but not everyone would accept it for what it is. If a person that refuses to learn continues to pose a threat to others, than that threat must be eliminated.

[She nods a bit]

We all have made mistakes, I've made some horrible ones too. Maybe that's why I wasn't taught a lot of humanizing things, so that I could do what I was made to do without question or viewing it as a mistake.
