[precedented]

And you stopped drowning.

[ He moves a piece, his attention elsewhere. These were words that sank to the bone, that opened wounds. ]

Because you can see what was and what is together, a bird's eye view, the hermit on the crest of the dune. I see the desert. I see the winds that blow. Which is why, little guidichar, it is confusing. It stops being linear.

[killedwithlove]

It isn't linear.

[He knows the word, at the moment, because Leto knows it. He moves a piece and then picks up another, turning it in his fingers and stroking the top gently.]

That's just how most mortals experience it. I didn't, not until I was living in this... hm. On this side of the Veil.

[precedented]

And we are no longer mortal men.

[ If he sounds a little bitter, it washes away quickly. ]

Would you change anything if you could?

[killedwithlove]

I never was.

I was a spirit before I was something like a human. I'm not very good at being human, but I'm learning.

Anyway, I don't want to be human. I just want to be me.

[He thinks.]

I don't understand.

[precedented]

[ He laughs softly. ]

Humanity, I find, tend to be a state of mind and heart rather than one of physicality. But I know that is a odd point of view.

[ For men are beasts too. ]

Change your nature, for example.

[killedwithlove]

[Cole stares at him, and his lack of comprehension is almost tangible.

The idea of changing himself is alien. To be this changed, this complex a creature, it is far beyond anything any spirit form his world has ever been.]

No?

[precedented]

[ His lips quirk, in deep amusement. He should have known better, but it was an interesting query to put forward. No, Cole could not fathom that kind of change. ]

No, I suppose not.

[killedwithlove]

I did change.

I was Compassion. I'm more now.

[So much more. But to come from something so wholly consuming and simple, even being this close to human is an unimaginable change.]

Cadash said we changed every day. Every day we were a person we weren't the day before and wouldn't be tomorrow. Then she fell off her stool and lay on the floor laughing.

[precedented]

We go forward, we go back. Assuming we only go one way means we disregard our past. But she is right. Who you are today is different from who you are before.

[ And they pay for the past. ]

You could even say we kill our selves with every midnight. I find that a little too dramatic for my tastes.

[killedwithlove]

I went forward and back and all around.

But I can't go on the ceiling very well now. The ground tries to be stickier than it was.

[Damn that gravity, making him obey it.]

... no. We don't. Why midnight? Why not sun set or sunrise?

[precedented]

I don't know. I just picked whatever I felt was appropriate.

[ Leto may have plenty of deep thoughts, but a lot of times he's simply fucking with everyone. Questioning and never answering, he likes to go in circles. ]

[killedwithlove]

Round and round in circles he goes, where he stops, nobody knows.

[His voice is softly sing song.]

[precedented]

Except I'm not running with the hands of time, I am the hands of time.

[killedwithlove]

No.

[Cole made a move and started plucking at the threads of the cloth wrapping his hands.]

You see. You make changes on those visions. But it existed before you and will once you're gone.

[precedented]

Well, hopefully it won't exist to narrow down the paths of others. I plan to reintroduce chaos to the universe.

[killedwithlove]

Sera likes chaos.

That's why she plays pranks. She likes chaos, thrives in the distraction and confusion and discord.

[precedented]

[ He hums lightly. A similar view point to Loki, really. ]

Chaos isn't necessarily discord, though discord may be sown along the way. The idea is that I want a universe of surprises to exist, not determined by fate or destiny.

[killedwithlove]

No. Not necessarily.

But there is when Sera's involved.

[precedented]

Well. I cannot fault her methods.

[ He's not one to judge anyway. His method is extreme. No one will approve, no one will like him and he will go down as the greatest tyrant the universe has ever seen. It will be the perfect deterrent for people ever seeking the powers of the future. ]

[killedwithlove]

There was a man who wanted to guide humanity to the bright light. Instead, they him their light and God, and their world turned putrid and dark.

[It's probably best not to ask.]

My queen is tired of losing. I'm going to disappoint her.

[precedented]

For such a man, death would be a gift.

[ He tips the queen with his finger. ]

[killedwithlove]

It would be.

[Cole sets his queen down carefully.]

You'll never fly like Alia, but you'll swim.

[precedented]

I rather drown.

[ He has no real attachment to living. Only his commitment to the Golden Path keeps him alive. ]

[killedwithlove]

Drown. Swim.

[He shrugs and looks off somewhere else.]

[precedented]

[ He rolls his eyes. ]

I am a desert creature. Swimming metaphors don't sit well with me.
