[Shinobu is a bored vampire this night, though she looks serene as she admires the stars twinkling admits the night sky she, in truth she had grown tired of such a view centuries ago. Being as old as she was meaning many things most saw as beautiful and wonderful had for her long ago lost their luster. Such was the burden of immortally.  Though, when in doubt, it was best to turn to others as a source of amusement, and so that is just what she did.]

A simple question for you all. Say you were given the chance to live forever. Would you take it?

We are in the same boat then.

[ritsu_kouyou]

I doubt that.

Regardless, humans don't the question you did.

[damaged_goods]

Now, now, I imagine some philosopher has asked such a question in the past without the insight that beings such as myself hold.

[ritsu_kouyou]

Not with a poorly hidden smirk.

[damaged_goods]

Is it that obvious? Maybe I should have hypnotized you all first.

[ritsu_kouyou]

It would have been a wasted effort.

[damaged_goods]

Perhaps, but it is always worth a try.

[ritsu_kouyou]

To what end? The weak willed don't need to be hypnotized.

[damaged_goods]

It is amusing for a moment, mostly.

[ritsu_kouyou]

I see ennui has found its way into you.

[damaged_goods]

Perhaps. After five centuries I've gotten my fill many, many, things.

[ritsu_kouyou]

And yet I'm sure there's still something you seek.

[damaged_goods]

Death perhaps.

[ritsu_kouyou]

Death... or an end to your existence?

[damaged_goods]

I imagine they both amount to the same thing in the end.

[ritsu_kouyou]

No, they aren't. The dead can always be brought back in some manner. Those with their existence destroyed are gone forever.

[damaged_goods]

Well then, as I don't wish for my corpse to be used for anything lewd, I imagine I'd like to be wiped clean from the face of the Earth.

[ritsu_kouyou]

I'm sure you'll come across someone with the ability to do so given enough time. You certainly have it.

[damaged_goods]

You'd think so; but my master simply won't allow it. I don't know why he intendeds to keep that silly promise.

[ritsu_kouyou]

I fail to see where your master matters in this.

[damaged_goods]

It's a complicated matter but I assure you I will not be able to die as long as he is around.

[ritsu_kouyou]

I thought you wanted to be destroyed, not die.

[damaged_goods]

Semantics. My point stands.

[ritsu_kouyou]

It's not semantics. I said they were different things.
