Warnings for violence and child abuse.

Comments

[counterfaith]

Ah, I was only curious. My apologies.

This is your room, then?

[marezydoats]

My room...? You could say that. [ The young man gestures around. ] Everything in this house belongs to me. Especially them.

[counterfaith]

Them, you say?

[marezydoats]

Yes, of course... the members of the Zodiac. In the end, all of them belong to me.

[counterfaith]

Are they dolls of yours?

[marezydoats]

Dolls? [ The young man looks startled. ] Ah... I suppose you could say that. They're my playthings, you see. Sometimes I break them, but that's okay. They're mine, after all. Anything I do to them is okay.

[counterfaith]

. . . I think that's rather irresponsible, as a toy owner . . .

[marezydoats]

Is it? [ The young man waves his hand carelessly. ] Ah, I suppose it can't be helped, though. When I get angry at my toys, I can't help it. I lose track of what's going on and then everything's been broken.

[counterfaith]

Perhaps you could do with a bit of meditation. Throwing tantrums as an adult is no good.

[marezydoats]

Ah...? You really should watch what you say, you know. I'm the head of the Sohma household. A little respect is called for when dealing with me.

[counterfaith]

Of course, I speak with the utmost respect. Though, I must say, I'm quite concerned to hear that a child is the head of an entire household. Times must be hard on your family.

[marezydoats]

I've been the head of household for many years. [ Says the man who can't possibly be older than nineteen or twenty. ] And the house is prosperous, so it can't be doing too badly under me.

[counterfaith]

I commend your servants and your relatives, then.

Tell me, do you believe in God?

[marezydoats]

[ The young man chuckles. ] Do I believe in God...! Oh certainly, you could say that...!

[counterfaith]

Really now? Just one or many?

[marezydoats]

Are we to get into a theology discussion? [ The young man looks bored. ] Religion aside, there's only one "God" that matters most.

[counterfaith]

It's only out of curiosity I ask.

Who do you believe to be "God"?

[marezydoats]

[ The young man chuckles again. ] Don't be coy... You already know what I'm going to say, don't you?

[counterfaith]

I would hate to be so disrespectful as to misunderstand you by leaping to conclusions.

[marezydoats]

[ The young man grins enigmatically. ] Of course you wouldn't. Very well, then; I'll spell it out for you. I am God.

[counterfaith]

I see. Then I have been very disrespectful to you, Lord.

Then, please tell me. For what reason are you on this Earth? For what reason have you stepped down from the heavens?

[marezydoats]

Why...? I was born to this earth to be loved, of course. It is through my benevolence that "they" are allowed some semblance of a normal existence, despite their cursed status.

[counterfaith]

But if you are God, then can you not remove the curse?

[marezydoats]

[ I MEAN. ACTUALLY, YES, BUT RIN DOESN'T KNOW THAT. The young man frowns. ] Why would I do a thing like that?

[counterfaith]

Well, you are God, of course - and doing so is what one would consider to be a miracle befitting only of god. Curses, after all, are a devil's work. God Himself does no such thing.

Moreover, as God, you have no need to rely on such a curse. If you are truly God, then your followers will devote themselves to you without the crippling of a curse. Rather, who would follow a God with the ability to cure them of their ailment but doesn't? Therefore, it would only be wise to heal them, no? To perform a miracle?

Unless, of course, it is impossible for you.
