He ponders it for a bit idly twirling the sheathed sword."Interesting. I just thought her breasts on display meant she came from a warm planet or realm, that didn't have body shaming issues...and I would think that a warrior culture would have armour or maybe strapping them down so they didn't become a hindrance in battle...but it sounds like you have some prior experience with this so..ok, we'll go with that."</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>"I don't think anyone has that kind of experience.  It just smells more like non chalance rather than air conditioning."<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">"How exactly did you arrive at the concept of Angels and Demons? That speaks to me of some rather specific religious concepts and implies a very 'good vs. evil' connotation to each being. The blue woman named me an enemy but instead of killing me right there and then, gave me her blade so I could survive long enough to get to the point of being a worthy opponent. To me that speaks of following some kind of code." Ken points out figuring they should both give their impressions.</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>"Angels is a simple concept that the Dr referred to as 'the angel' he reports to.  I met a guy who is fighting the bugs.  He is no angel but 'angels' is as simple a term as any to describe them. Demons are the opposite, its just lazy symbolic short hand...and I hate the bugs, so associating them with evil suites me just fine.  The blue woman is DEFINITELY associated with the bugs, I have zero doubt about that.  And yeah, there may be some code.  Demons make contracts.  You could even argue they're less arrogant than angels."<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">"I'm happy to gather a group of people that can oppose the monsters and have a chance of winning." Ken states, the need to protect others being a part of his nature. "I think we should have a campfire meeting. Just sit in a circle and everyone add the pieces of the puzzle they've worked out. We'd be able to see a much greater whole that way." he suggests. "And perhaps ask the Reverend to create some kind of enriched class for us to accelerate our learning or help each other learn or what have you." he agrees.</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>"Well, we can do that but I was told not to show a specific thing to 'the artists'...I've put a nice but ring around that just to be safe.  Maple is the single most useful person I know of in our band just for her ability to see reality and I'm betting Maddy has the same spiel.  But somehow if seeing a certain thing is bad; odds are knowing it can be too.  And an enriched PE class? I love the idea.  Hell, self defense and advanced self defense are two subjucts I'd love to teach.  Everyone in this school needs to know some basics and I don't want any of them to be food.  Still, the campfire circle is a good idea.  Glad I asked."<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">He thinks about what William said earlier. "Ok you said you can't disclose too much...tell me what you can disclose. I've been pretty candid with you."<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>"Sure.  So he's just a guy, kinda go even go lucky guy. I've interacted with him three times.  First time he was humming in the background noise of the world, no idea what or who.  Second time, I go out to nature, figure that might work better.  I learn a little more, nearly get eaten by hoards of bugs.  They could have killed me, but wanted to capture me.  So I got out.  THEY want us as much as the angels do.  Final time I contact him here.  He said that they are hiding us.   Said that I shouldn't show the artists something important.  Said his name.  The name and the thing are the things I'm not gonna tell, and really, for now I'd keep all this part to yourself.  Guy can sing reality back to sleep as its musics goes all frostyloops when the bugs do an incursion, like that really really bad mojo with Min-joon.  Which, to be honest, occured five minutes after I gave some details to Maple.  I am sure she's right that it wasn't her fault, but "the guy" seemed to imply that the angels are trapped or stuck or something, like in a very bad way, and that if we upset the apple cart we only get one shot and then we're done, so we need to be CAREFUL and not tip to the bugs we know too much about what is going on...or they will end 'the construct' and the subtext there Ken was that 'the construct' was our home...everyone and everything you ever loved that isn't one of the Solids as perceived by Maple."
