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?"

Well, a people, as a whole are only as intelligent as the stupidest one in the group. That is the danger of mob mentality, and there is almost always going to be one simple minded and intolerant idiot.

That being said a person is able to be so much more than that.

That is certainly true. I witnessed it frequently in each village.

[He looks a little surprised]

I had never thought of it that way.

[hontobakabaka.livejournal.com]

There are many historical accounts of it. Its just one of the dark sides of human nature.

[sonthatdisappoints]

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.

[She hugs him]

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.

[hontobakabaka.livejournal.com]

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

[She nods]

[sonthatdisappoints]

[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.

[hontobakabaka.livejournal.com]

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.
