[as ever, only half of ushahin's face is visible on the screen. there is a raven perched on his shoulder, preening his hair, though he's paying the bird no mind at all]

It seems this place has seen fit to remind us of late of our struggles, our fears, and our losses. Some, I'm sure, bear more than others. But in the place of my birth, what separates Men from the other races is that they have been blessed with wit and desire in equal measure. Perhaps you are not Arahila's Children, not properly, but most of you are rather close enough.

So tell me, if you will, what it is towards which you strive.

Here, or back home?

[Then he thinks about it for a second.]

Same thing, different enemy. Being feared, since acknowledgement and respect were off the table from the beginning.

[dreamspinning]

Are they?

[it's a genuine question]

It is far easier to earn my acknowledgment than my fear.

[ex_outofcontrol435]

You're not in control here. It doesn't matter what you think.

[Okay, maybe back off just a bit. They will be looking for allies soon, after all. His hard expression gives just a little.]

Not that I miss being hated by the majority of the world. But it's the ones who changed us, who took away our species, that have to learn what a bad idea that was.

Perhaps it does not. But this is the sort of war that will be won or lost in the details, and we are the details.

[he doesn't show the slightest sign of being put off by all the peacocking. his expresion is benign, curious]

Do you have a better idea?

[charmandchant]

( Hermione has to think about this for a few moments. Perhaps that was it - she lacked a goal. )

Back home .. I'd like to complete my education...

[dreamspinning]

An apprenticeship?

[charmandchant]

Er, sort of. I attended a school for magic, at home. But I had to leave, because of a war..

[dreamspinning]

And when your education is complete, what will you do with it?

I'm fine with just existing. [Liar, but existing IS something he doesn't quite take for granted compared to other people.]

[dreamspinning]

Are you, little ghost? Rocks and statues exist. Your mind is a bit fine for that.

[Filtered Text]

[key_illusion]

Right, but my existence isn't as stable as rocks or statues.

[Filtered Voice (pretend i got that right on the last one too sob)]

[dreamspinning]

As that may be, if you are to exist, you may as well use your time. All the living may die, even the ones time does not touch.

[pushesgently]

You're an inquisitive one.

[dreamspinning]

Indeed, although there is no compulsion to answer.

[pushesgently]

Of course not. Yet people do enjoy speaking of themselves, I've found.

[dreamspinning]

A wise observation.

[ ooc: if quirk/text color is a bother, let me know c: ]

[permavoice]

[dreamspinning]

[[no worries! ushahin doesn't type but i'm good with quirk]]

An entire world? A lofty goal.

[permavoice]

[bowdown]

Naut just a world, homie.

A universe.

[Video]

[5thchild]

To make the ones I love happy.

[Video]

[dreamspinning]

Another noble goal. How do you think you will achieve it?

[Video]

[5thchild]

It depends from person to person, doesn't it? The happiness of one may not be the happiness of the other, after all.

To overcome. [It was a vague answer honestly, and he meant for it to come off that way.

Perhaps it was because part of him wasn't as certain about what he strove for as he once did, so much was changing here and back home.]

[filtered voice]

[dreamspinning]

[forgive him, ushahin doesn't type]

Ah, the pursuit of a lifetime, that.

[bloodypocket]

[Eyes will insist of text anyway.]

One that few fellows seem to achieve, wouldn't you say?
