Kyle smiles.

Lizzie realizes that she's still naked and wraps a blanket around herself.

"Why did that guy care so much about which soul he had? Does it even matter?"

People are chronically unsure of themselves for some reason.

"How does knowing which soul help reassure them though? 'Congratulations, you're the sort of person who obsessively tracks meaningless bullshit, good job, now fuck off'?"

From what I could tell, he was a teenager when he was transferred to a skull. Teenagers are often unsure of themselves, in the process of developing into their own personalities, so easy to mold to your desires. It's no wonder it shook his faith in himself, though now I may take advantage of it.

"Huh, and I thought the usual cases were pedantic and disingenuous enough. Apparently not."
Yuri briefly frown before staring blankly back at Darnos. "What was that about exploiting it?"

[Xantalos]

Oh, playing on his self doubt and lack of mental fortitude to serve my own purposes. Or maybe I'll just get him to kill himself. Fun either way.

[Empiricist]

"Okay... ethics aside, isn't he an oversized suit of armor? Is he even capable of suicide?"

[Xantalos]

I saw that blood sigil. One smear there, he dies.

[Empiricist]

"I thought that was more like a corporate logo or an insignia. Why would smearing that screw him up?"

[Xantalos]

It seems to bind his soul into the armor or something. I didn't get too good of a look at it, but if you're thinking of it, use surprise. It may be there, but getting to it for you would be difficult with an angry giant suit of armor.

[Empiricist]

"So allow me to get this straight, his mind is housed in his soul, his soul is housed in that armor and the only thing holding them together is a funny image? How the fuck does that work? That doesn't make any sense!"

[Xantalos]

Mind housed in his soul? What are you babbling about?

[Empiricist]

"Well, if his mind isn't in that soul, then I don't see what's so important keeping the bindings. I mean, it isn't like you NEED a soul. Normally, don't you just have your mind in your body with a replaceable soul as something that is only really needed if you die? Or am I making assumptions again?"

[Xantalos]

Our definitions of mind and soul are different. Explain yours.

[Empiricist]

"Mind, naturally occurring processing that is complex enough to allow magic usage. Soul, vessel created by Merrinae, transports minds across the Border of Life upon the body's death."
