So, I found something today that caught my eye.

Apparently they have made a television show about my son. I don't know if I should be proud or not.

At any rate, if you wish to see...

My son happens to be the boy with the white hair. His name is Setsuna.

Ah, youth. If only it came with survival skills built in.

No, I think he's kinda different. He looks a lot more like a human than a, hm, giant fish with wings like trees and actually, how are you fitting in that room at all?

[Video]

[starofchaos]

...

[Oh. So that's... wait. She doesn't look much like that at all.]

I see. So that is it...

It's not as hard as it appears.

[Video]

[heavenscorpse]

You must be a lot smaller than me. Or else it's a really really big room.

[Video]

[starofchaos]

Then is that your true form?

I'm good at fitting into tight spaces. But no, the room is quite small, actually. At least compared to most here.

[Video]

[heavenscorpse]

Uh-huh. This is just a projection. [She does a little twirl, showing off the body.]

Definitely not city-size?

[Video]

[starofchaos]

Only when I need to be. [He may or may not be joking.] It's a pleasant projection.

[heavenscorpse]

Thank you! I'm glad I get to be an angel, even if I'm only a fake one.

[Video]

[starofchaos]

...

[Another angel who's secretly some kind of... well, he's not sure. A giant fish, huh?]

Do you mind if I ask. Where do you come from?

[Video]

[heavenscorpse]

Venus.

[HOW MANY BLOODY SPACE SORT-OF-BUT-NOT-REALLY-ANGELS ARE THERE?!]

Well, your hologram certainly should have given that away.

[Video]

[heavenscorpse]

I don't know if it really counts as a hologram? That's technology and photography and all kinds of things that are different from being a parasitic life form that absorbs thoughts.

It's actually really complicated.

[Video]

[starofchaos]

Well, projection, then. I do apologise for the terminology misfire.

[Video]

[heavenscorpse]

That's okay. It's really hard to explain things even when I use all the right words for it.

So yours is a projection of a giant fish with trees for wings and you're actually more like a human?

[Video]

[starofchaos]

Your eyes see more than you think they do. That's all it is.

[Video]

[heavenscorpse]

...I don't get it.

[Video]

[starofchaos]

Think of it this way.

Your eyes take in thousands of minute details every day, but only show you what is relevant to you at each moment.

[Video]

[heavenscorpse]

Oh, I see. I never thought of it like that.

[Video]

[starofchaos]

As a result, your eyes are capable of deception.

[Video]

[heavenscorpse]

'Thought' is something I'm still getting used to. I never realized it could be inconvenient that way.

[Video]

[starofchaos]

The unfortunate thing about the mind is how easily it can be turned against itself. Self-deprecation, for instance. Or delusion.

However, the chances are low of any such problem.

[heavenscorpse]

What's your name?

[Video]

[starofchaos]

Louis. My name is Louis Cyphre.

[Video]

[heavenscorpse]

My name's V/V. You can call me that.

[Video]

[starofchaos]

It's a pleasure to meet you, V/V.

[Video]

[heavenscorpse]

Nice to meet you too, Louis. I've never gotten a chance to talk to someone who wasn't a human species before.
