[As the feed opens, the camera seems to be suspended in the air by nothing, gently bobbing up and down as it displays Mewtwo with a pair of blades made of energy hovering near his wrists. He's been working on using the blades to cut through a rather large column of solid granite that he procured from elsewhere, seemingly using it as a training dummy. When his voice comes over the feed, he doesn't seem to pay the device a single ounce of attention.]

I have been here for some time now, and this 'holiday' has come before. However, I am curious. What is the point? From what I can tell, humans celebrate horror and fashion in equal parts for no reason, and it is perplexing to say the least.

Perhaps the people share common holidays in their own worlds then? If I knew more, I could understand better... I wouldn't miss that Brightshine Jubilee for any reason...even if I have to celebrate it alone here.

[Her frills sink at the last statement.]

Though...I must disagree on the last point. When the deities are the very ones who give life to the world and its creatures, it's no folly at all to worship them.

[psychic_supremecy]

Considering the disparity of worlds assembled here, and the vastly different histories between them, the possibility of them sharing holidays and nothing else are infinitely small.

[That last bit gets to Mewtwo though, and he turns to let one eye glare at the dragon with a fire burning in it.]

I have looked the ones who gave me life in the eyes. I saw no gods or goddesses. Just humans consumed with greed and lust for power. I have crossed paths with the 'guardian deities' of the various regions of my world, and saw in them nothing more than territorial beings of immense power.

There are no gods. Only the powerful mortals.

Hmm...

[Unfortunately, she knows too little of the worlds these humans came from to really comment.]

[Interestingly enough, she doesn't feel her usual fear when she sees that glare. Perhaps it's less intense through the devices, or perhaps Liora's own beliefs are strong enough to override any fear she would feel otherwise.]

So you were created by "humans?"

[She's only just learning about them, and they don't strike her as godly at all. She can't even argue that the deities in Sornieth are territorial, but at least they were wise enough to compromise. They had to, or else their world would have been destroyed.]

If that is true in your world, then I apologize.

[psychic_supremecy]

I was. I was forged like a weapon to bring the world to its knees. But my will is my own.

[She frowns again.]

I see...then it is your choice. As for myself and the rest of dragonkind, we will continue to honor our deities. They have had their struggles, and they have saved our world from the Shade.
