Re: 2022/04/08 - Life The Universe And Everything
Tarot, your traditional angry, frustrated, tone isn't going to help here...
It’s not failure that the big guy fears
but making things all too easy.
Damaging mortal souls at will
is what makes Kitsune queasy.
He knows he’s not the best at this
and his best friends? Well they were worse.
Where he just watched that pair acted;
less a blessing and more a curse.
Doing too much becomes a trick
that’s far too easy for him to pull.
So he doesn’t know what to do...
From him, the truth is a mouthful.

I agree with you fully (And it's funny he mentions about becoming like his friends...isn't he sorta like them as well?).Obbl wrote: ↑Fri Apr 08, 2022 1:05 am [ Life The Universe And Everything ]

Not quite. his job was to watch over the game and make sure they stayed within the rules (without blowing up the planet). They were the ones manipulating everything and everyone to achieve their ends.. It's a slim degree of separation but it's there.SeanWolf wrote: ↑Fri Apr 08, 2022 5:46 amI agree with you fully (And it's funny he mentions about becoming like his friends...isn't he sorta like them as well?).Obbl wrote: ↑Fri Apr 08, 2022 1:05 am [ Life The Universe And Everything ]

Oooooo. This is getting heavy and there's a lot to unpack here. I am actually interested on how this play out rather then break this down to show the lesson being learn. But showing the consequences of having 'everything you wanted' is a unique conversation opener.
Re: 2022/04/08 - Life The Universe And Everything
Such an articulated discourse there, Great Kitsune, pretty philosophical... I agree with it, and you as a demigod have well realized how's mortal life, since you've lived it many times. Speaking of your best friends, Pete and Spirit Dragon, they're now trying the mortal life, also to understand that they became petty jerks with the demigod's powers. You wouldn't become so too, Todd? I doubt it, from what we got to see when we met you. Eheh, Lois figured that as well.
Re: 2022/04/08 - Life The Universe And Everything
He's too afraid of screwing up or abusing his power that he's missing the larger picture. He has the power TOO fix it and it's his responsibility to do so. The fox needs to get that through his head that sometimes, the easy way out IS the solution, not always, but, sometimes.

Re: 2022/04/08 - Life The Universe And Everything
No, it's not. He has a senior officer who's also dropped the ball. It's THEIR mess to fix.
True. What if his only way out of it is that everyone who doesn't know they've been changed can be changed back? They never need to know they had a choice. That's the easiest way out. But it leaves Todd, Marion, Mr Aardvark and Lois as they are. Because they know they have a choice...

I am really glad that Kitsune finally had this epiphany but it isn't relevant to what is going on now. He can go take his guilt trip after he finishes the current trip.
Re: 2022/04/08 - Life The Universe And Everything
Sounds vaguely like that episode of Twilight Zone where the guy gets everything he wants until he's bored, exasperated, and stir-crazy. He complains to his guardian whom he think is an angel, "I don't wanna be in heaven anymore - I wanna go to the other place!!"
To which his guardian laughs in sinister glee and replies, "Fool, this IS the other place!"
Besides, GK, you've been around long enough to know that "cute" allows you to get away with muffins and cookies near everything ... unless maybe you're Todd.

That episode sounds like it would be a good fate to have bestowed on Steward after everything he did. Making him think he is in Heaven only to realize he isn't and his punishment is to be bored out of his mind forever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever...

Re: 2022/04/08 - Life The Universe And Everything
Lois cracked me up again.
I was kind of expecting something like the angels in Dresden Files where heaven is limited in how much it can help mortals because it has to uphold everyone's free will so that choices have meaning.
So since a mortal made the choice to use the coins, heaven can't fix it without undermining the nature of choice itself.
This is... kind of like that, I guess.

That actually does make a lot of sense. I am thinking that would definitely be something the others would accept.

Actually, right now he's only seeing the bigger picture. He's explaining why he can't just make everything easy. Everyone else is telling him to fix the thing that's going wrong right now.
Which, again, could be as simple as not cluing Eudoant in that it's time to pack up and move the operation.

This is VERY Specific. If he said He was gonna keep everyone as is for now, then i wouldn't have an issue. however, everyone is pointing out that isn't what he was gonna do. Kitsune is scared of abusing his powers, Well, guess what, You're abusing them by not turning them back AFTER we finished what we where doing with the demons.Okay so, For now i'm keeping Everyone in the city unaware they've changed forms

I really do appreciate him referring to Pete and Dragon as his Best Friends. Despite their resistance towards him, he still values them in some way....

You can consider someone a best friend and still feel morally superior to them which I think Kitsune does.
Though I'm not sure that is a healthy friendship...

Rick confirmed that Kitsune is their biological father which makes it a whole lot weirder. Its hard enough imaging Kix and Kitsune together as it is...

I'm just glad it won't get any weirder than that. However, I do believe Kit will learn to value them a bit more once this is all over.

Re: 2022/04/08 - Life The Universe And Everything
I'd like to think so, Sky. My problem is that, at some level, he sees them still as their "adult" selves, not as his kits, and, also at their "adult" levels, Gk either enjoys tormenting them and/or doesn't really like Pete and Dragon much at all.MrBlueSky7 wrote: ↑Thu Apr 14, 2022 12:17 am Oh Thank Goodness!!!

If push comes to shove and somehow Eudoant ends up becoming too powerful, he's gonna need their help, so he'd have to kiss and make up with them for that.NHWestoN wrote: ↑Thu Apr 14, 2022 12:36 pmI'd like to think so, Sky.

When he first rejected their help, I figured he probably didn't since Demon-Steward wasn't as powerful as he was putting himself to be, but once the bigger bosses come out into the playing field, he can't face them alone.

Unless Bahamut decides to let them handle it themselves out of fear of divine intervention or some mess.

That or he wants Kitsune to prove that Bahamut didn't make a bad decision in letting him watch over the Earth and play around on it.

If he had cared enough from the beginning then maybe all of this could have been averted. He was too complacent and all of this is down to him.
Re: 2022/04/08 - Life The Universe And Everything
The answer is 42! (yeah i'm alive, hi!!)
--
GK admits that he's a pain in the tail
And that he wishes they all could bail
On this mess that seems to be all his making
But to Tarot, his advice isn't worth taking.
Admit it, foxxo, you're over your head
And this is gonna find everyone dead,
They'd all be powerful, angry jerks...
But come on dude, that's not how all of this works.
