[Video] 04 Feathers

[Okay. Here's the scene. It's the middle of the day, and everything looks pretty normal in whoever's kitchen part of his/her apartment.

All of a sudden, pick a Katy Perry song. At max volume.

Cue Davesprite entering the scene, carrying in baking supplies for assorted baked goods. It might be brownies. It might be cookies. It might even be a cake. Either way, Davesprite is baking while blasting Katy Perry. Why the hell not?

...Okay, and he might be singing along a little bit. Shut up.]

Madness, insanity, lunacy. Standing at the polar opposite of Order, it is the natural enemy of mankind in today's world.

The Kishin Asura, imprisoned by my Father for centuries in order to protect the world from his Madness, has reawakened. He intends on spreading his Madness across the entire world, and supplant my Father's orderly rule. His Madness wavelength is so powerful that, even imprisoned, approaching the Kishin induced it in any but perhaps the strongest souls.

...Presently, some of us are fighting on the moon against the Kishin. Maka and myself, you already know. It's a dangerous fight with much at stake, but I have faith in my friends, we'll pull through. We must.

There's no short answer to that one.

[Has any of his answers in the last few minutes been exactly short?]

Suffice it to say that Shibusen's enemies sought to awaken the Kishin, who has since gathered a frightening menagerie of followers.

Excuse me, I thought you just inquired as to why the followers of the source of wide-spread Madness might do something absolutely insane.

But that would be silly.

Perhaps they want a new world order that isn't "Order" at all.

Perhaps they think they've found what they most desire in the depths of Madness, without realizing that the fulfillment they think they possess is an infantile one.

I don't exactly have to wonder.

After all, at one time even I embraced what I thought was the "Ultimate Order", a childish dream of accomplishing equality in utter destruction.

I'm not proud of it, but the capacity to be every bit as much of a disorderly monster as the Kishin exists in all of us.

How so?

[If you segue into making a 'Fifty Shades' joke, Strider, he swears on his Father's name, he will--

...Not actually get the reference because haha, child of the 90s?!]

Your brother sounds like he was very invested in your upbringing. What of your parents?

[Siblings really only step in like that in the absence of them. Just look at the Thompson sisters.]

[All Kid can even say to that is:] I see. [That blank stare betrays that he might not be following Dave 100%, but conventional families are something he understands only tangentially. Anything more complicated than that and he's at risk of getting lost in the details.]

...Why a meteor?
