I fear this will be self indulgent and not necessarily helpful to the goal. I wish to record and reflect on an event I could not before.

[ He takes out a skull to set carefully to the side. A brief pause before he then produces a rather unique-looking teapot. He rests the teapot in his lap before turning the skull so the name carved into the resin is seen -- Oda Nobunaga. ]

Not his real skull, unfortunately, but I hope to one day acquire it as a new cup. [ A sigh. ] Nobunaga-kou allied with me once. He allied to help me remove the legacy of my lord from the world. I believe we have succeeded. So few recall I, too, once was a retainer after all.

Whether my lord deserved that or not isn't for me to say. It was what I wanted. Would it change the narrative if I said my lord killed innocents? Does that then make me a just man? Does it make Nobunaga-kou in his assistance? No. Of course, it doesn't. Murder begets murder but it is not right or just.

This [ He gestures to the teapot. ] is the only treasure that I had to my name. The only thing I could say was mine and mine alone. And Nobunaga-kou was the first ever to corner me.

[ He lifts and drops the teapot. Of course, it shatters onto the ground. It is seconds later that he tosses gunpowder on the unseen pieces before setting the broken mess on fire. ]

And this is how I knew I would live. [ A beat. ] Ashikaga is the sun. He burns bright and burns by accident. No one would wish him dead and mean it truly in their heart. He will survive until his flame burns out. Nobunaga-kou is evil incarnate. He is one that would drown everything in blood. He will die because he is an evil all can see and feel and rally against.

I am an owl. I am the emptiness that exists in all things. Not evil by sin. Not good by virtue. People will come for me but I see myself in them. I shall be replaced one day. An owl is too commonplace to not exist again in the world.

Perhaps, this is what these natives need to learn. But which "this?"

[ He produces a second Hiragumo to drop into the flames. Holding his hands out, he lets them be warned by the fire that he made by destroying something he once held dear. ]

You're a really good actor!! I don't know what play that was from, but it was certainly something!!

[ex_monologuing117]

Good day to you, Papyrus.

I suppose it is a play in its own right. One that will repeat itself one day. And how do you fare? I am in a reflective mood, as you can tell.

I know what you mean, man. Sometimes I just wanna cut my life into pieces. Like it's my last resort.

[ex_monologuing117]

Do you?

That is very odd to do, by the by. More reflective on a dead past. But whatever you feel is best for yourself is hardly anything I can comment on, good sir.

[ricksybusiness]

Oh, yeah. Big time. Suffocation, no breathing... I don't even give a fuck if I cut my arm bleeding.

[Okay, it's sunk in. Time for vigorous applause.]

ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL, OWL-DARLING!! SUCH A STELLAR, MOVING MONOLOGUE!! OH, YOU MUST READ SOMETHING ELSE FOR US. WHAT POWER.

[Yes, just like Papyrus, he's under the impression that this is just a show. Strange minds think alike.]

[ex_monologuing117]

Oh, did you like that, Nightingale?

I am touched to find my musings to be of a worth to others even if it is not in three way I thought. Still no one can say how their words will be used and once they are spoken, they are owned by whoever hears them.

[ what........... the................. fuck ]

Wow, okay, I give it a 6/10. It would have been better with like. Screamo music in the background and a t-shirt that says 'I'm not antisocial, I just don't like you'

text; owl

[ex_monologuing117]

Hello, Rhys.

I fear I do not know what that means. Also, that is not the reason why I am "antisocial."

[dbag]

Oh, you remember....

I mean hi.

What part isn't clear? The screamo?? The t-shirt??? The concept of a grading system that rates your performance from 1 to 10, 1 being the worst and 10 being the best>

[ this is pretty goth, and coming from an undead elf, that's saying something ]

What nonsense is this?

video; un: owl

[ex_monologuing117]

A memory on the past that is self-indulgent and a thought on the present that may or may not be helpful.

[respired]

Yes. Self-indulgent. You meander.

he is not going to grace you with an actual reply

[sengetsu]

[but seriously what the actual fuck, using people's skulls as cups is Not Okay and has never been okay in Kojuro's book. They don't need another Oda.]

why must you mock his sippy cup

[ex_monologuing117]

[ this is ironically oda. hisahide was the first hipster. ]

that's a terrible sippy cup is why

[sengetsu]

[He better have gotten some hipster sunglass from Graham to go along with it]

[ All of that, and Aradia seems interested in only one thing: ]

Why would you waste a perfectly good skull on a cup, though?

[ex_monologuing117]

It is a mockery of a man who would do the same to others. I think it to be a treasure that he coveted above the heart outside his chest.

His own head. Is that not foolish to hold onto and wish to remain safe?

[Dry and monotonous as the tone may be, the voice is that of a young girl's, likely still not in her teens.]

Was there a point to this?

[ex_monologuing117]

If you do not understand it, I could explain it.

AUDIO. UN: LOKI

[selfimage]

Ah ...

[ a little dramatic pause, and then: ]

Could you say that all again? I missed most of it.

[ shut up, Loki. ]

[ex_monologuing117]

Unfortunately, I cannot.

It loses meaning without having another Hiragumo to break. I ask for your forgiveness since I suppose the flames eat up most of the words, but what good are words if understanding is not met? Shall I summarize?
