4th Crystal: [Written]

Things seem to have calmed down quickly.  How fortunate that only one resident at a time seems to want to cause pointless mayhem.

I should look into these "spirits"...

O RLY?

[cladinthedark.livejournal.com]

... That's abominable spelling.

[zanegyf.livejournal.com]

O RLY?

[cladinthedark.livejournal.com]

... Yes. Yes it is. Who are you and why are you talking to me?

[zanegyf.livejournal.com]

You may call me Mr. Snugglesworth, and I am your conscience.

[cladinthedark.livejournal.com]

I doubt it. My conscience is long since dead.

[zanegyf.livejournal.com]

I'm backing and kicking, baby!

[old-man-ganon.livejournal.com]

You are against pointless mayhem?

[cladinthedark.livejournal.com]

I suppose it's too much to ask that you attempt to make an iota of sense.

[cladinthedark.livejournal.com]

Yes. It's... well, pointless. I like there to at least be a reason behind things.

[zanegyf.livejournal.com]

I explained myself.

[cladinthedark.livejournal.com]

Your "explanation" was rubbish.

[zanegyf.livejournal.com]

IT'S THE DAMN TRUTH!

[cladinthedark.livejournal.com]

You expect me to believe that you are the manifestation of my conscience, and you for some unfathomable reason have named yourself "Mr. Snugglesworth".

[zanegyf.livejournal.com]

Hey, I'm your conscience, dude.

[cladinthedark.livejournal.com]

Is a conscience supposed to make one's head hurt?

[zanegyf.livejournal.com]

Sometimes. You should see the conscience parties. Damn, they're wild.

[old-man-ganon.livejournal.com]

That is true. A well-thought-out plan is much better than chaos for chaos' sake. Most plans for world-domination involve mayhem to some degree, however.

[cladinthedark.livejournal.com]

This world is... already rather dominated. Thus, any mayhem not directed at the ones currently in control qualifies as pointless.

[old-man-ganon.livejournal.com]

Hngh. And are you content with being ruled, or are you working against the ones in control?

[cladinthedark.livejournal.com]

The latter, to the best of my ability. I spent a large portion of my life under the heel of one tyrant, I have no intention of allowing another to take what remains.

[old-man-ganon.livejournal.com]

You wouldn't usurp the ones in control in order to become the ruler yourself?

[cladinthedark.livejournal.com]

I tried conquering the world once. It didn't work out very well.

[old-man-ganon.livejournal.com]

Giving up after only one try?

[cladinthedark.livejournal.com]

It's preferable to fighting my own brother.

[old-man-ganon.livejournal.com]

...

I see. Without the support of your family, it is difficult.

[moon-paladin.livejournal.com]

Quite so. That seems to be the general case everywhere, yes?

[cladinthedark.livejournal.com]

One would certainly hope so...

Cecil, have you been receiving any strange messages recently?

[moon-paladin.livejournal.com]

No, have you?
