106th moon [audio]

To be in accordance with this world's natural laws, a whole half of my heredity should have been removed from my body. The half I inherited from my Lunarian father, to be exact. As there are only two half-Lunarians in the world, I cannot know exactly how it sets me apart from pure humans, but there is no doubt that there must have been something for this land to take away from me.

[Cecil doesn't know why he feels the need to talk about this now. His words come hesitantly, like he doesn't quite know if he wants to keep going.]

...Yet I feel no different, barring the usual loss of magic that even full humans go through. I look the same. I act the same. My skin still does not tan, no matter how much time I spend on the beach. The manner in which I age remains constant even after five years spent in this world. It's as if the absence — or presence, for that matter — of my Lunarian blood is completely meaningless, as far as my life is concerned.

[He stops for a moment, and then here it comes. The true, uncertain confession.]

I... don't know what to think of that. At all.

This world is strange like that.

I experienced something similar, though the changes I expected that didn't come were less physical. It was as though what I was before didn't make any difference.

Though it should have.

I've never come to any answer. I always knew I was something different than human. Not quite what, for many years, but everything I was told then was a pack of lies anyway.

Who knows what we should have expected.

It's a long and complicated story. The short version is simply that what I was happened to be useful to a vain and power hungry individual with the power to back their ambitions. If someone believes they exist simply to be a servant, they have no reason to question that.

Or seek their own freedom, if it's forever promised.

That's honestly a hard question but maybe while you are here, your bloodties take on a more emotional connection then a physical one.

[personal profile] killer_sweets 2016-02-07 05:13 am (UTC)(link)
That makes things a bit harder then. Since you are this beat up over it, then this is pretty important to you.

Do you know anything about you cultural history at least?

[personal profile] solas_ion 2016-02-07 06:39 am (UTC)(link)
No kidding. You too? [Lancer leaned his head on his hand, frowning.]

I mean, I ain't Lunarian or anything, but I was only ever half-human at most. Probably a lot less than half just before I got here.
solas_ion: (shalt thou too fall by my hand)

[personal profile] solas_ion 2016-02-07 04:13 pm (UTC)(link)
It's complicated. After I died, I was summoned as what my world calls a Servant--long story short, it's a spirit made of and fueled by magic. That's where 'Lancer' comes from; it's a class, not my true name. So I wasn't really even half-human so much as I was the spirit of one.

[Because that made total sense.]

But when I was still alive, my mother was a human named Dechtine, and my father was a guy by the name of Lugh Lámhfhada--he was pretty much what most people would call a god.

I can't...totally relate, being more or less human myself, but. I dunno. On the other hand, I kind of know exactly what you're talking about.

It's not just that. I mean, yeah, I lost my crazy powers and stuff. But I was thinking more about what you said about what your bloodline means.

[personal profile] exeggutorhead 2016-02-08 06:25 pm (UTC)(link)
[As much as he's started to deal with it over the years, this hits...pretty close to home, for Envy.]

Makes you start wondering what you ever really were in the first place, doesn't it?
exeggutorhead: (well this is kinda awkward)

[video]

[personal profile] exeggutorhead 2016-02-09 08:13 am (UTC)(link)
Hah, no, it doesn't ever make things any easier, being the only one of you around.

[And maybe the day's getting to him too, because after a second he adds:]

I was the first one of my whole species, nobody even knew what I was. And then I was the only one here for years.

[The urge to talk lets up for the moment, and he mutters a curse under his breath before shrugging.]

Not quite the same as your situation, but...

[He sort of gets it.]

Okay, but like
who cares honestly


[ THAT WAS REALLY NICE, BAKUGOU... ]

I mean... if you think you're a moon people or whatever, if that identity is important to you, isn't that what really matters the most.
blazeit: (nani the fuck is this)

[personal profile] blazeit 2016-02-11 04:18 am (UTC)(link)
Idk man. I think this isn't even the sort of thing worth thinking too hard about. Like, people are who they are. Does it really matter if you know why?? I guess if you wanted to change something about yourself, then it might be useful? But otherwise it's like. Why bother wasting the damn brain cells over it.
