Kuno looked over-dramatically offended at this accusation, "I would never dare. I simply enjoy conversation." He smiled, "although if you did feel inclined, I wouldn't be against it. I must say that the weather is quite nice here, isn't it?" @Blessing of Potency “Uh… sure. The weather is nice.” wetter than I’m used to, but probably nice for people who live here. She glances over at Kuno, trying to gauge what he's trying to get out of her. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kuno's face was covered with a pleasant smile, "indeed, it reminds me of a place that I once called home. It was truly a lovely place. Now, I'm sure that you'd love for me to continue to call you my friend, but surely there's some sort of name that I can use to reference you." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kuno chuckled to himself, "oh no, it's not that my friend, I just enjoy names and all that they stand for. You see, I view it as the worst insult to not have a name, and so I didn't want to insult you by not using a name. Which in truth, I've come to wonder why beyond 'humanity,' our people don't have a name. Even the amal have a name for their people, 'The Dire Recompense,' or 'The Looming Reclamation," or whatever." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You identify yourself by what noises grabs your attention, and yet each noise has a history and meaning behind it whenever it's spoken." Kuno paused and turned his head to look at Mira, "just as those sounds translated into not just thoughts, but a specific feeling for you. In this case, that feeling was ominous, and rightly so." 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After all, if you intend to wipe out all of humanity, then it is much easier if they're too scared to do anything about it, wouldn't you agree?" Quote Ah, I feel my already overinflated ego growing even more. Thanks for the compliment, it means quite a bit to me.

For instance, when one is alone, one will normally feel incredible amounts of fear that they wouldn't experience if they were in a group. I've found that when the one unites their strength with others, they're confidence receives the greatest boost. When I say it that way, it sounds simple, doesn't it? Alone and afraid, or united and fearless." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if someone wanted to save all of humanity, they would have to compel them all to unite, wouldn't they?

You are right of course; this world is filled with so many people, and so many of them don't want to work together, however, if there is to be any chance of humanity withstanding the coming storm, we must make sacrifices. Throughout all of my years, I've been constantly surprised with the resilience of humanity when faced with terrible consequences. You say that it would be a difficult, no, an impossible battle to unite humanity together and face this threat; I say that when faced with extinction, is there truly a choice? Not just your extinction mind you, but of all of those around you, men, women, children, all of them have been slated for death, is that something that you will sit down and allow, or if given the choice, would you stand against them? I've already made my choice, but I want to hear what yours would be, if you were confronted with it this very moment." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
