Again, points if you can define it. If you're feeling clever, you can guess at the context.

Hey. How're you doing today?

E.

purgatio: ([x] looking from the outside in)

[personal profile] purgatio 2010-03-12 05:39 am (UTC)(link)
...A bit worse for the wear. I'm not sure who's to blame, however.

And yes.

[identity profile] forgot-it-all.livejournal.com 2010-03-12 05:43 am (UTC)(link)
What happened?

R.

purgatio: ([x] i try but i can't understand)

[personal profile] purgatio 2010-03-12 05:45 am (UTC)(link)
No R.

Siblings. Of course. Should I ask about yourself?

[identity profile] forgot-it-all.livejournal.com 2010-03-12 05:48 am (UTC)(link)
I.

They're still giving you problems? Is there anyone who can act as an intermediary?

I'm alright, I guess. Not a whole lot has changed.

[scratch out readable]

[personal profile] purgatio 2010-03-12 05:54 am (UTC)(link)
Yes.

We don't... get along well with others. The others are usually the reason for our recent feuds. That, and, refusing contact.

Perhaps I should be envious. Change seems to shift every moment.

[identity profile] forgot-it-all.livejournal.com 2010-03-12 05:59 am (UTC)(link)
Being stuck in one spot isn't exactly enviable. Are the other people trying to pull you guys apart or something?

I know the answer. A.

[A folded piece of paper has the following note on it: The Lamb of God, Jesus Christ as a sacrifice, one of the names of a song sung during the Christian mass. I read up on it when reading Nietzche.]
purgatio: ([x] so you want me to...)

[personal profile] purgatio 2010-03-12 06:05 am (UTC)(link)
Yes.

I don't know. It could be that... they don't want ['me' is heavily crossed out but could possibly be readable]

Ah, you're right, but can you put it in context with the past games? It's a bit too tricky, that.

Is Nietzche another author?

[identity profile] forgot-it-all.livejournal.com 2010-03-12 06:18 am (UTC)(link)
I'll let other people guess the word then.

[He could make it out enough to guess.] You're siblings though. There's gotta be something there to tie you together, right?

Nietzche is a philosopher. Awhile back I read one of his books. He's pretty anti-religion, so to better understand his viewpoints, I looked up a good deal about Christianity. To understand someone's words, you have to understand their background after all.

Give me a bit to think about the other games. Since the papers aren't up here, I'll need to review what I remember.

purgatio: ([x] nothing sinister here)

[personal profile] purgatio 2010-03-12 06:23 am (UTC)(link)
If they can.~

One would think. Bonds of blood seem only good for hatred. I'm beginning to learn this.

I don't know much about religion, truly. Well. Maybe. I'm not sure, then. Is this Nietzche interesting?

Take your time. There's not much else to do.

[a tiny note is folded at the bottom]
To answer more, maybe I'm just a burden.

[identity profile] forgot-it-all.livejournal.com 2010-03-12 06:33 am (UTC)(link)
They're not just for that. Sometimes we do weird things out of love, and those things can be misinterpreted, leading to problems and a twisting of what the original bonds were for.

I thought he was interesting. I'd always heard his most famous line, "God is dead" and assumed many things. When I actually read him, I was surprised to learn that he isn't nihilistic at all. Rather, he's quite the opposite. He focuses on the enjoyment of this life and therefore rejects religion since it focuses far too much on an abstract promise of a perfect life after death, ignoring the splendor of this one, and leading people to ignore it and their interpersonal relations during it as well.

-R.Aoyagi

[This is again in a folded note so others can play: I notice a trend of religious terms, including one about sacrifice, betrayal, and your brothers. The magnum opus, referring to the alchemical meaning rather than the common one, is a clue as well, especially when people know you a little better. The Lamb of God dies to cleanse humanity of its sins - do you think one of you has to die for the same reason?

And I don't think you're a burden. Just maybe you need to find someone other than your brothers to rely on. ]

[personal profile] purgatio 2010-03-13 06:51 am (UTC)(link)
...Twisting is definitely true. Most of what you've said, really.

Hm. Perhaps I'll start with him. He... seems to have some things I'd be interested in. So to speak.

[folded:
Ah, you are extremely clever. You've gained the first of my two meanings. Another has guessed the second. I'm impressed. Truly.

...that... is near to impossible. There was one-- But he is no longer here. And maybe it's not rely, but lean on and fall backwards. Down into the rabbit hole.]
purgatio: ([x] shattered pieces)

[personal profile] purgatio 2010-03-12 05:45 am (UTC)(link)
Yes.

[tick tick recognition] Uh. No. Not... quite.

[identity profile] finalwitch.livejournal.com 2010-03-12 05:47 am (UTC)(link)
L

Didn't think so. You are, as always, in good company.
purgatio: ([c] i knew it)

[personal profile] purgatio 2010-03-12 05:52 am (UTC)(link)
No L.

How is that, I have to wonder?

[identity profile] finalwitch.livejournal.com 2010-03-12 05:56 am (UTC)(link)
T

[after some hesitation]

This place held a few surprises, even from me.
purgatio: ([x] i try but i can't understand)

[personal profile] purgatio 2010-03-12 05:59 am (UTC)(link)
No T.

...Was one not cooked after all?

[identity profile] finalwitch.livejournal.com 2010-03-12 06:05 am (UTC)(link)
[heavy pen marks]

He was cooked. There was no mistake. And still
purgatio: ([x] reaching out)

[personal profile] purgatio 2010-03-12 06:08 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, but this place has no rules as such, right? Yes. That I've learned.

[identity profile] finalwitch.livejournal.com 2010-03-12 08:21 am (UTC)(link)
Right... Just different rules.

[written like an afterthought]

So. Sheep for slaughter, huh?
purgatio: ([x] blood calls to blood)

[personal profile] purgatio 2010-03-13 06:53 am (UTC)(link)
...Right.

Should I have guessed that you would succeed? You guessed the second meaning; another has won the first. So, again; I'm impressed.

[identity profile] finalwitch.livejournal.com 2010-03-13 07:09 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, it was no guess. You dropped plenty of hints in our last discussion.
purgatio: ([x] time will fly)

[personal profile] purgatio 2010-03-13 07:24 am (UTC)(link)
...Mm. That. Right.

You'll have to forgive me. My mind was a bit lacking.
purgatio: (bored now)

[personal profile] purgatio 2010-03-12 06:18 am (UTC)(link)
Already taken.
purgatio: ([x] nothing sinister here)

[personal profile] purgatio 2010-03-12 06:24 am (UTC)(link)
There is a U.

You've played before, right?
purgatio: ([x] reaching out)

[personal profile] purgatio 2010-03-12 06:34 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, it is.

Would you care to try for any of the bonuses?
ryuuzaki: (attention)

[disguised childish block handwriting]

[personal profile] ryuuzaki 2010-03-12 07:30 am (UTC)(link)
Sacrificial lambs are of no use to anyone.
purgatio: ([x] seven minutes in hell)

[personal profile] purgatio 2010-03-13 06:56 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, but they do pass the time.
ryuuzaki: (...)

[personal profile] ryuuzaki 2010-03-13 06:57 am (UTC)(link)
There are better ways to pass the time.
purgatio: ([c] it feels like love)

[personal profile] purgatio 2010-03-13 07:01 am (UTC)(link)
Mm, we'll have to disagree.

[identity profile] stlg13bomber.livejournal.com 2010-03-12 05:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, that's no fair. Those aren't even words.

[identity profile] constellates.livejournal.com 2010-03-12 11:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Augh, missed it again!!

What the hell does that even mean?
purgatio: ([x] nothing sinister here)

[personal profile] purgatio 2010-03-13 06:57 am (UTC)(link)
Literally? A Lamb of God. But that's not the point at all.~

...And you'll have to be quicker on the draw. =)

[identity profile] constellates.livejournal.com 2010-03-14 12:21 am (UTC)(link)
So what's the point? You can't just say something like that and not explain. LOL

Aw, come on! I can't park myself in front of the bulletin all day.
