?: Thank you.

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

?: He hasn't listened to us, but perhaps he'll listen to you.
-Spirit- *looks up at the sound of the voice and stops* And who is this? *strides over to them* Why, hello, my friends!

<Snipped quote by Mammalia>

*Sighs*
We don't have time for this. Stop it.

<Snipped quote by Mammalia>

Why don't we just... Let's calm down and have a little talk, shall we? You say this amuses you? Well, can you explain the change of heart?

<Snipped quote by Dynamics>

-Spirit- No.

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

-Spirit- I thought to myself, "What would happen if I started killing all of the Torc? What would they do? How would they stop it?" And then after I started, I decided that I did not really care about the results. It simply amused me to kill them. So I did. Wouldn't you do the same?

<Snipped quote by Mammalia>

So you won't stop, regardless of what we do?

<Snipped quote by whizzball1>

Oh. How does it work?

<Snipped quote by Legend>

Magic embedded deeply into the Elemental Blades.

<Snipped quote by whizzball1>

What kind of magic?

<Snipped quote by Legend>

Magic formed from will.

<Snipped quote by whizzball1>

But I'm a human. Humans can't use magic.

<Snipped quote by Legend>

I am a human. We are all humans who use the Blades. The Elemental Blades are where the magic is created--we channel our will through them and they make the magic.

<Snipped quote by Dynamics>

Harlock:

*appears, hearing the convo take place, and joins in*
What the heck is wrong with you, Spirit? Have you gone bonkers or something?

<Snipped quote by souleaterfan320>

-Spirit- I am just the same as I was before.

<Snipped quote by Dynamics>

-Spirit- No.

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

-Spirit- I thought to myself, "What would happen if I started killing all of the Torc? What would they do? How would they stop it?" And then after I started, I decided that I did not really care about the results. It simply amused me to kill them. So I did. Wouldn't you do the same?

<Snipped quote by Mammalia>

You should know me well enough to answer that question.

<Snipped quote by Mammalia>

Harlock:

But your enjoying bringing harm.

I've never seen you like that.

<Snipped quote by Mammalia>

So you won't stop, regardless of what we do?

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

-Spirit- *smiles* Oh, but Ridge, I do. Surely that little voice in your head has something to say about it.

<Snipped quote by souleaterfan320>

-Spirit- Hmm, perhaps you have not. But I assure you that I am the same me I always was.
-Ruby- ... Just without the morals...

<Snipped quote by Dynamics>

-Spirit- Most likely not.

<Snipped quote by Balance>

Of course it does. It's a completely different person with a different mindset. But you're talking to Ridge right now, not him. So tell me, why don't you stop what you're doing and wake up?

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

-Spirit- But I am already awake. I am more awake than I have ever been before! I am not held back. I have such great power. I have used it for what I wanted to before. I am simply doing the same--but I want something else.

<Snipped quote by Balance>

I don't think you get it. You can claim you're the same as much as you want, but the old Spirit wouldn't have attacked the people he's loved and cared for for countless years. You have to fight whatever is influencing you, man!

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

-Spirit- Nothing is influencing me. This is "all me", as they say. But with no inhibitions.

<Snipped quote by Balance>

I wouldn't say this is you with no inhibitions so much as it is you with some sort of catalyst that changed your attitude. I don't want to have to hurt you, but I won't hesitate if it means saving these people from this rage.
