[ because it's not like they're productive in the finding answers kind of way, as has been discussed already... and while the new world aspect of it all is nice, there's something about the days melting together and him missing home that's like, The Worst.
moving on from that one. ]
... Still not thinking about not working together, so that twisted kind of God'll have to wait a while, I think...! Or, well, whatever brought us here? Wahaha, that'd be pretty morbid if it was true! Some weirdo watching us slowly sink into boredom and discontentment until we start to turn our nifty, jagged blades [ sorry he just has to call out akechi's ??? sword here ] on each other? Though... I guess in a way, that's what God does in the first place?
[ this went from 0 to 100 so fast but what're you gonna do. akechi sure was wrong about leo not considering this shit, because that sure is leo.
he says this all cheerily anyway. again, he's leo, and he's already gone through the whole song and dance of stabbing your comrades metaphorically already. wonderful. ]
no subject
After the bomb he dropped, his tone doesn't even change! What a person...)
There surely should be other more thrilling things for God to do to us, no?
no subject
Perhaps it simply hasn't found the interesting things yet. Or it's waiting for us to pass its first test.
[He didn't miss the call-out about his sword! But it doesn't bother him. It's a statement of fact, not an insult. And like, even if it is meant as an insult, it's not wrong. He's just grateful the sword didn't come with the condition of being stuck in his Metaverse outfit. While he likes fighting in it, it's not something that's great for everyday wear. The clawed hands and feet might put people off.
But he returns his attention to Leo to speak.]
You do make a good point about the passage of time, though. Without a way to measure it, or even our normal circadian rhythms to rely on... who's to say how long we've actually been here?
no subject
just like the rest of this is. he offers ren a curious smile. ]
Kids take after their parents sometimes, right? There's people out there who find slowly playing with their toys fun, so... What makes ya think that's something beyond God? Then again, who the heck are we to say what's thrilling or not in this case? Humans are great, but to 'em, we're probably "just humans"! Even if it feels a little less like it without sleep and eating and stuff.
[ weird, weird, that he's starting to kind of miss those things that were minor inconveniences before.
hm. a glance at akechi, and then: ]
... Actually... Since you mentioned it like that, maybe they're not so messed up. Not knowing how long you've been here seems almost like mercy, you know? Oooor would you consider that kinda thing a curse?
[ the most outlandish theory and here leo is, considering it with some mild amusement. ]
no subject
(Seen that, you know. There are things happening at home, that he has no idea how they are, doesn't know how his friends are...
The lack of hunger, which would soon be fixed to everyone's surprise and dismay, along with the lack of sleep is also a huge problem for Ren. Sleep is fundamental to rest a thinking brain, so. His mind hasn't stopped racing since he got here.)
no subject
He rotates his wrist, flicks his sword as if testing that it still slices through the air without bits of cloth trailing behind it.]
Not to mention places and items from home are reappearing as if in an attempt to mollify us. In a famous experiment, rats in a cage given an enriching environment were shown to live happier, healthier lives than their companions locked in solitary confinement with nothing to occupy themselves. So it could be that to whomever saw fit to bring us here, we are their experimental group in an enriched environment.
If it can bring in a person, why not a sword? Why not a gun?
[He flourishes the sword again as if that helps make his point.]
no subject
[ just stab him now
despite that, though, he maybe got the basic outline of akechi's words? the reality of it may be a bit... eh, but there's no denying that they're akin to something like rats in a cage... that he can agree with. it's just how it is.
not knowing the passage of time being a curse? maybe not so much. his gaze focuses on the swinging of akechi's sword, expression thoughtful, curious, and just a hint of frustrated now. ]
If that's how it is, then... [ looking up at the. the sky? upwards, whatever it is: ] How come I didn't get anything? C'mon, God, I'm not feeling like an enriched test subject right now! I thought I was your favorite! Or, um... You're a different one then the one I'm used to, so I can't say that, can I?
[ just kidding he's fully capable of enrichment on his own but like
thinking about it in grim terms like that just makes him want to make fun of it, so. ]
no subject
Unfortunately, he has to agree with Akechi, so he gives a confirmation in a hum.)
I don't think being God's favorite is a good thing, anyways.
(Considering that, well. He is.)
