It gets horribly boring around here sometimes, doesn't it? [ Yes she said it. Wanna fight about it? ]

Surely there's something to do around here that you'll trust an unpaired inmate with that doesn't involve [ she says like the words are poison ] food preparation.

I promise to be good if you promise to entertain me.

Considering the 'good reasons' people've given me before, here? That's not really the most reassuring thing I've ever heard.

[nakesnakecobracobra]

[ She laughs. ]

So you're smarter than you look.

It's up to you if you want to trust me.

[imaythrowuponyou]

You're really shooting yourself in the foot. Or just saving me a headache.

[nakesnakecobracobra]

You're the one offering a job. I didn't exactly come begging at your door. [ This time. ]

If I wanted to hurt anyone, I wouldn't have to be a member of your infirmary staff to do it.

[imaythrowuponyou]

No, you wouldn't. But if that's something you're seriously considering, I'm not gonna enable you.

[nakesnakecobracobra]

Please. How would I benefit from killing anyone at this point? That would be stupid.

[imaythrowuponyou]

Killing, torturing, poisoning, you'd be surprised what people get up to around here. [Except, you know. You wouldn't, it's a prison boat. :|]

[nakesnakecobracobra]

I doubt I would be surprised in the least. But all I would gain, even if I did have motive, would be a moment's vindication, a week in Zero, and then endless more months of boredom under constant scrutiny. Believe it or not, I don't enjoy killing for the sake of itself.

I'm a scientist, not a psychopath.

[imaythrowuponyou]

And I can appreciate that. You never got around to telling me exactly why you were here.

[nakesnakecobracobra]

You never got around to asking.

If I had to guess, it would probably be because of all the innocent souls I had devoured. I thought it was a necessary sacrifice for the greater good, but I can see how others might disagree.

[imaythrowuponyou]

Did so. You said you just needed a break.

But I think that's probably a hell of a lot more accurate. What the hell do you mean, devouring innocent souls?

[nakesnakecobracobra]

I did need a break. It was extended when I was murdered.

When any living thing dies, a soul is left over. They're powerful things if you know how to use them. Death has his Weapons devour the souls of evil humans who have turned into kishin. Powerful enough, but narrow-minded. A kishin is formed when too many innocent souls have been devoured.

[imaythrowuponyou]

And what the hell were you hoping to accomplish by doing all this?

[nakesnakecobracobra]

I was hoping to create a powerful kishin that I could control. Unfortunately my poor child wasn't up to the task.

My intention was to kill Death, and spread the kishin's madness throughout the world. In order to... jump-start evolution, if you will. Under Death's strict rule, the world had simply stopped changing. It was stagnating. [ So really she was trying to do the world a favor, see? ]

[imaythrowuponyou]

You're insane.

[nakesnakecobracobra]

You say that like it's a bad thing.
