As for the other matter, I did tell you before, didn't I? Back at that House. My will is not fully my own. When a primal is summoned, any primal, their energies flow back into the summoners forceably aligning them. Try as we did and precautions we did put into place, there is no avoiding such power.
You summon . . . these primal things, and you sorta move together . . . yeah, I guess that was kinda how those ghosts were, weren't they? Is this Zodiark dude a primal or something?
[For some reason, even after hearing all of this, he feels even more uneasy.]
Zodiark and Hydealyn are the eldest and most powerful of Primals. I suppose you can think of it as a possession. I did not experience that myself, so I can't tell you.
Speaking of, now you can understand my tension with Auracite, and with the Exarch on sensitIV. They are from these fractured shards. But that matter is between us, and I do try to keep it that way. I would prefer our dislike of each other not directly impact BARiTONES.
Huh . . . But they seem pretty normal to me . . . I dunno if I'd call them, uh, weak creatures. When you were saying fractured beings being weak and feeble creatures, I was imagining like . . . lvl 1 slimes or something.
Would the star be restored the would live nigh for eternity as they were meant to be. Their souls restored. Their abilities restored. A cease would finally come to their petty wars, their squabbles, the way the faction massacre each other if only we could reclaim that sundered paradise.
But I would be lying if I said I had their best interests at heart. To revive our brethren, our loved ones, our families. Would you not do the same?
[Wildfire, plz. He doesn't think to hard about shard people for a reason.]
Perhaps I could put it in terms a little more familiar. How long is your lifespan? Give or take a hundred years?
Now imagine your friends and loved ones are all gone, and you wander about the star you call a home. It is populated, functioning in the most basic of terms. Though no matter to whom you speak they do not remember what their life was before. Your sports, your schools, your hobbies. All of these gone to them. But they'll do things, things that you so remember. A turn of phrase. A way of cooking. A way of reacting that makes you think of your friends before, because that is what they are. Shards of people whom you once knew. And yes, you could try to get to know them. To live with them. But with five years, they die. 'Tis no fault of their own. That is just the reality.
Do I hate them? No. I pity them. I wish for them to be whole.
So it's kinda like how we- well, some of us come to Imeeji without memories . . . I guess if Kurokocchi came in without memories and couldn't remember me, I'd feel pretty upset, yeah. I'd want him to have everything fixed, too, and I don't even remember him that much yet.
I'd still try to be friends though. Knowing Kurokocchi, he wouldn't want any pity.
[He ponders. Considering Wildifire's train of thought thus far, and well... The point to all this was to be honest, was it not? Would be easier if he had picked it up on his own like the others.]
[He bends his knees a little, luckily he is slouching enough already, so he doesn't actually have to go to far down to meet his height.]
I suppose if I've told you all this, I might as well continue with what truly causes the friction between myself and those two. Yes, pity they do not want. 'Tis something more.
Of the shards, there is a source and thirteen reflections. Ever do we strive to merge shard to source. Upon merging those of the source get stronger, two parts becoming one. 'Tis that action that they strive to prevent. For depending on how you view such an act the memories, the experiences of that soul fragment is consumed by another.
And seven times have we succeeded in rejoining a shard.
Wait a sec, that last part was weird!! You said that Auracite and Nova guy don't want you to do this thing, this consuming/merging thing or whatever, but you still did it seven times.
["But yes, moral relativism and all that. Case in point --- I do not consider you to be truly alive. Ergo, I will not be guilty of murder if I kill you."
Hmmmm. Let's not use that argument I used in canon here, shall we?]
I do not consider it murder. But if one were to, you can see how it would cause hurt feelings.
This is the best way for me to try and get it . . . It's like if Silencchi, Song, and Symphony all fought one another in the same body until only one is left? Like for example, Song winning as the strongest personality and "consuming" the others into herself?
Of the three, one would have been the original, the source, from which the others were sheared. It would not be a manner of whom 'won'. But you are correct. The source would consume the others.
Yet you discount everything else. If Song was the source, would he not have a right to her lost memories, her lifespan, her abilities. What she was before? Once shattered, the original 'Song' is gone until all that was is restored.
But the others didn’t ask to be born like this either, Emecchi!!
[frustrated sound]
I mean, yeah, I already said I’d wanna do what I can if it meant fixing up a Kurokocchi who lost a part of himself! I get that! And it’s not like other people here haven’t killed people...
[His fists clenched tighter, remembering his own time when he killed Belial.]

Consuming??? Like Auracite eating Nova??? ??????? Please hold he’s trying to catch up here.]

Well, perhaps that was a bit too much into the details of a Rejoining. Shall we consider this history lesson complete?

Auracite doesn't remember why he cares.
And they dislike it because they see the Rejoining 'twixt source and shard as murder on a grand scale.
no subject
[what]
...is it?
[wait]
Grand scale? Didn't you say it was like...seven times? I mean, seven is a lot but...

Emecchi . . . is this the "morally questionable in the most favorable lights" thing you mentioned back at that game? Or is that something else?

It is.
