[Yuan's sitting in the garden outside house #8, leaning back against the wall. You'd think he's enjoying the weather or something, but really, he just couldn't bear to sit inside any more. Ever since Martel was kidnapped, he's been feeling more restless. He doesn't even know there's an experiment going on right now. His hand travels to one of the flowers and he tears it out of the ground, staring at it for a moment.]

... Idiot.

[The flower gets scrunched between his fingers and tossed aside. Feel free to approach him and tell him to cheer up, considering he was affected by the experiment as well.]

[fortunefail]

Fine.

[It worked! Wait. It worked. Does this mean... Could this possibly mean...]

Tell me something about yourself. Something secret-y.

[fortunefail]

[It would've worked anyway. But this command, on the other hand... Crap. Thanks a lot, Usagi.]

Aside from the fact that I'm over four-thousand years old and posed as a holy being for the majority of that time, working with my fiancée's sister and Kratos to rule the world behind the scenes?

[... Uh. Well, she already knew half of that, right? Right?]

[themoonuplifts.livejournal.com]

[I totally didn't know Martel had a sister. L-lulz.]

You ruled the world?

[fortunefail]

[fsdkljfs gimme a break. It was 3 in the morning when I wrote that comment. *epic fail*]

... In a way.

[Now I'm thinking about MithosXYuan. Hahaaaa. Aaah. Mithos is so pretty. He could pass as a girl.]

That's so cool! I wish I could rule the world!

[fortunefail]

[Eyes! Burning!]

... It's overrated, to say the least.

[themoonuplifts.livejournal.com]

I kind of like the idea. If I ruled the world, I bet everyone would be at peace.

[fortunefail]

[He can't help but snort at that one.]

Peace. Right.

[themoonuplifts.livejournal.com]

What's that supposed to mean?

[fortunefail]

One can never achieve lasting peace. The world just doesn't work like that.

[themoonuplifts.livejournal.com]

How do you know that?

[fortunefail]

Experience.

[themoonuplifts.livejournal.com]

You tried to make the world a peaceful place?

[fortunefail]

That was our original goal, yes.

[themoonuplifts.livejournal.com]

Why didn't it work?

[fortunefail]

Because there will always be someone who rejects peace in favor of power. Or, rather, they think they can get away with usurping power and creating their own peace through means of violence.

[themoonuplifts.livejournal.com]

Oh.

[fortunefail]

It's human nature. Nothing more. All you can do is protect those important to you in the hopes that they'll be safe.

[themoonuplifts.livejournal.com]

That sounds like giving up.

[fortunefail]

You can't fight the inevitable. You can only make the best of what you're given.

[themoonuplifts.livejournal.com]

Still sounds like giving up. Peace is attainable, even if it doesn't last forever. [and we know this, you blue-haired pessimist. the future told us. D=<]

[fortunefail]

That's beside the point. Temporary peace is better than no peace, yet in the end people will suffer anyway.

[themoonuplifts.livejournal.com]

[she's totally shoving you.]

Why are you so dark? Is it because you're old?

[fortunefail]

[Oh Usagi. So innocent to the harsh world.]

... Like I said. Experience.
