ein himmelfahrendes und eins, das fällt

I'm sure you're all excited about this return to normalcy, if that's what it is, but I still have one question for our new lord and master.

Worlds like this one don't revive on their own, not from the inside. The power has to come from somewhere - usually someone. Someone human, in the real world.

So: Who rejuvenated this one?

I think. I speak. I discover, and I learn. I am as much a person as any human.

[ Dark disagrees with that logic, but it's not his place to tell this poor bastard he doesn't have a soul. ]

Sounds reasonable.

[150th]

You doubt me.

[apaintingdarkly]

What would I know about souls?

[ He's pretty sure he doesn't have one either. ]

[150th]

That is something you would know. We have only just met.

[apaintingdarkly]

Then it doesn't matter now, does it?

[150th]

If you wish for me to regard your opinion as inconsequential, you need only say so.

[ Wow read the room Mewtwo ]

Why should my opinion matter to you? You've got your own, don't you?

[150th]

It matters to me that I am seen as a full being. I tire of being treated as any less.

[apaintingdarkly]

I'm not treating you any different than I treat anyone else.

[ Which is true, and kind of horrible. ]

[150th]

I have a soul. I do not know where it came from, but it is here.

[apaintingdarkly]

It doesn't make any difference to me.
