Team VLC designs yay!! I spent so long on this that I gave up and decided to not shade it at all but I still really like it

[siren-of-fire]

Sorry it just hit me that, with Ace leaving, it means Bad failed to protect someone he loved again

Bad tried so hard to fight against the clock and save him and all he did was make himself worse in the process..again

Bad: I think the reason why I can deal with the rain is because I know at some point the rain’s gonna stop, and once it stops I know it’s gonna be okay. So, yea, I know I’m alone maybe even most of the time but, at some point, I won’t be.

Pangi: I know the pain, but it won’t be there forever. Sure, your first two friends left but there are so many people that will stay, and I feel like if you decide "Okay, two friends went horrible, I’m never doing this again” then you’ll never meet those people who are willing to stay, where you won’t have to miss them.

Pili: Well I understand that life has its chapters, and people come and go. Nothing is eternal, things have a beginning and an end, and even if it ends and I'm alone again, I'm still happy and I still cherish those memories that I spent with people.

whenever I think about any of the pili’s I get so so sad like what do you mean mocha was basically cursed to fall since the start - he was placed into red team by higher beings with the expectation of having to kill someone every week, making him subject to hatred from like everyone as if he wasn’t being forced too. even killing himself didn’t give him freedom really like then we just got ilip

Ilip himself was also doomed from the start for multiple reasons. he had assumptions and expectations made on him because of mocha, he was expected to be someone he wasn’t and people even tried to force him into that mold. and then there’s the corruption - where it was clear he was corrupted from day fucking one but nothing ever happened because of it. everyone assumed he was corrupted but did anyone ever truly check up on him unless it was too accuse him? did any keepers who definitely knew he was corrupted try to help him other than the one who hinted at him being corrupted? did anyone other than himself truly care about others being corrupted? there’s so much to ilip that makes me upset like when he finally figured out he was corrupted, he wanted to deny it but he couldn’t and then when he tried to help pangi and warn about lukey potentially becoming corrupted - he was ignored and pushed aside

then ilip dies on the happiest day of his life due to issues out of his control with pangi (because of the mocha manifestation that he barely knew about) - and ace is brought back and while ace is also the most visibly corrupted still no one really does anything. like sure there’s a lot of talk from lukey that he would force the cure onto ace that just never happened but still no one truly felt the need to cure ace (like when pangi said that ace was different to corrupted bad for example). ace this whole time has been left to rot almost, the corruption in his chest grew and grew and ilips tears returned and despite the fact ace claims he can control the corruption and take it out whenever he wants too - can he? wether he can or can’t he’s also been left alone just like ilip was and has now returned to the shadows during his ending, with no resolution to the corruption and even was blamed by the keepers themselves - who knew he was corrupted this whole time but they only blamed mocha and ilip for the condition ace was in now as if they both weren’t forced into those positions by the keepers themselves

[siren-of-fire]

Now that the emotions are tad bit more down I am thinking about the way High keeper behaved today.

I would admit the words did feel very blaming and hurtful, almost made me feel like they don't even see Pili as a outworlder to care anymore or like they ever did tbh and moreso like a sick animal that needs to be put down and stayed far away from which given how they view Corruption feels somewhat valid but also is a very narrow and un-empathetic view.

The narrow mindedness coming from the keepers today was crazy though. The actual reason that causes there disregard for Corruption is obviously not shared by Pili, for them the consequences were different and for Pili they are completely different. Unlike the keepers who got there kingdom destroyed and humanity taken binding them to curse of immortality for Pili the same corruption overtime molded into him almost becoming one with him. Only significant consequence it did have for Pili was memory loss but even that changed so really speaking in a way corruption didn't put the same level of harm to Pili the way it did towards High Keepers. Corruption doesn't hinder Ace at all if we are being honest, it makes him stronger, keeps him company in loneliness and is like a warm hug giving him power and purpose at some degree.

Pili doens't fuck with his curse of immortality either so he understands keepers not liking corruption but the High Keepers are very much deadset on "Corruption=bad" and Ace being a Harbinger of 4 in there head making him a lost cause that can't be saved.

So I assume Ace is like a monster made from the thing the High Keepers seem to hate the most, and since Ace likes the corruption (and is also it's harbinger) that probably only fuels the hate more. Love the irony here of both keepers and Pili being corrupted yet still disliking each other though. Only other example he had of this was corrupted Pangi and corrupted Pili before but now this is also added in that list.

The "corruption making you a puppet" point is so debatable because we see Pili having a command over it, Bad also having his conscience wants with his corrupted self, Pangi fighting and choosing to get cured when he was corrupted and even the keepers who are corrupted yet still push so hard for the cure and are fully anti corruption.

Now the victim part. Begrudgingly I am willing to admit that fine yes High keepers weren't there to make every single choice for Pili and blaming them for everything would maybe be potentially wrong (not really but for the sake of argument let's roll with that) but THEY DID make a choice for him. Which again I am gonna be generous and count the red faction as a lapse of judgement and not telling about the corruption as again another ignorance based choice but those still did eventually happen and maybe just a apology or acknowledgement of mistakes wasn't enough to make up for all damage. Yes keepers aren't the reason behind the strains Pili's relationships have but those "bad choices" made by them did cause a level of damage. But then again if you put corruption on one side and Keepers on another and ask Pili to choose based on how those both beings have been towards him in the past the answer becomes clear.

They could have revived him like they did with Aimsey, they knew things and they had the power and they didn't use it. Pili in fact is a victim because THEY brought the outworlders here and didn't tell them since the beginning that dying completely can cause your soul to catch corruption which is parasite, and they knew that and only told all the information to others when the obelisks had shown up and Mocha was already dead, they never even attempted to stop the fight fully knowing this information, and the red faction fuck up had already happened by this point. THEY SAT THERE AND WATCHED KNOWING FULLY WELL THE DANGER THE DEATH COULD HAVE CAUSED so how are they not to be blamed here?

Anyways a big fudge you to that one High Keeper, I hope your next realm also ends up in corruption or maybe you realise that you have been corrupted for so long that you can't get cured or maybe lose this immortality and die as soon as you get cured lol

[siren-of-fire]

STILL MENTALLY COMING BACK HERE BECAUSE ACE MENTIONED BAD AND FOOLISH TODAY BEING A ENTIRELY DIFFERENT CONNECTION WHICH I AM QUITE LITERALLY SO NORMAL ABOUT, ANYWAYS SHOUTOUT TO THE COOL TRAIT OF IMMORTALITY

Immortal stuck between the cycle of Death and Life

[a interesting journey of a little cursed immortal from being in hands of DEATH and next being devoted to LIFE]

An immortal being who is a interdimensional traveller and finds his immortality a curse rather than a blessing. You have lived enough years that you can't remember from a certain time back and just make new identities whenever it gets too much and when bored would instigate things on purpose. Would let himself be manipulated willingly if it makes his boredom less.

And then you arrive on a new Realm as the pirates. Part of a red faction whose entire mission is to have a kill each week and it can't be just a simple thing, it needs to be special and creative. Entire fate of your faction is already sealed, you didn't get a choice to be part of it and neither will you get a choice to depart. The faction exists in order for the other three factions to unite and fight against you.

Immediately greeted with hostility by the yellow you soon realise it's just you and one other person who will have to take that task of killing on your shoulder. That other person isn't up for killing but you want to survive so you go to the cathedral to make a deal with the devil himself. A deal with death to help you survive by killing, his goals align with something you need and that is the start of your path down into chaos.

With the help of this demon you survive each week. He gives you knowledge, gear and trains you to become stronger.

Ironic how death itself is willing to help you survive and cause more deaths of others. But he is still your saviour at the end of the day.

Then comes the first day of week of reckoning where you have to get a kill or your entire faction loses one life. Out of nowhere the Noble king of Yellow asks you to take his final life. A sacrifice of a Monarch to Red faction

You don't view Monarchy in high regard thanks to your past experiences and because you have seen the people working under a ruler be exploited. The first day of Yellow harassing also didn't help that view change but then suddenly the King itself sacrifices his life……that was a moment that changed Mocha’s view about the Foolish. He still disliked Yellow but not the King. He wasn't fond of monarchies and Kings but the totem god of life changed that view a little for sure.

And it was also Mocha's first kill that was the begining of his eyes turning red and his path down to more bloodshed on his hands.

Later down the line Foolish is also one of the people who even wanted to figure out some sort of way to help the Red faction but it did not work out because the kill needed to be intentional. But the King did understand that red needed to be killers to survive even if others in his faction didn't and called Mocha a serial killer as if a part of it wasn't just for surviving.

And then comes a moment where this immortal cursed being starts challenging a certain Clown. Their are so many reasons to picking a fight against this Clown maybe it's to prove something to him, maybe it is about taking that revenge of day 1 or maybe it about proving you are strong and want to be respected. Either way you already know the outcome of this fight you pick and you know you are gonna die but being a Immortal death is the last thing you care or are scared about.

Even before the fight happens you are more worried about being made fun of rather than dying and losing everything you have worked hard for. You also know after dying you won't come back.

It becomes painfully obvious this being seeks death. You walk into that fight fully knowing you are gonna lose, your allies don't want to lose you, you know your faction is gonna die without you and you know there's nothing to gain in this fight and only losses for you.

SELFISH OF YOU, that's the best way to put it

But was it selfish of you when you pushed a Pangolin away because you cared about him and didn't want him to get hurt because you knew your own actions could cause harm to this other person. You would rather see him feel the hurt of you pushing him away then seeing him get hurt because of you. Is that selfish?

SELFISH but hasn't this life been selfish to you since day 1?

Not given a choice to be part of something,

Harassed by Yellow when you hadn't even done anything,

You didn't get to leave that faction even if you wanted to,

Had to pick up that mantle of faction weekly task,

You never got help from the faction mates when you were working hard to keep them alive,

Carrying blood on your hands and making your faction survive when most of them didn't even appreciate it,

People who were never invited to watch the fight forcing you to arrive early when the fight wasn't even something they were ever part of,

No one other then your faction worrying that without you the everyone in red would die,

Your entire living is selfish thanks to this immortality of yours which you wanna escape from…

So no seeking death isn't selfish when your entire existence and life on this Realm has been selfish and doomed since the start (The Keepers called red faction a mistake)

This walk to death, This dance with Clown was the one thing Mocha himself wanted, One thing that was about himself , The one time where the worry about his faction and others didn't matter and he did work hard to get this fight (even using Ros to instigate Clown) and prepared day and night for this [quite literally ccPili doing potions even in fever and Christmas and alot less sleep lmao] just so he could prove he was strong and give Clown a fight he remembers and prove he is worthy opponent..

A part of it was to gain respect but there were two people who did give that to him and believed in him until the very end.

Selfish of you to walk in a fight that is making you lose everything, selfish of you to pick up the mantle of red when nobody else did and selfish to try and survive and finish weekly faction tasks just like every other faction does but unlike others you are named the "Serial Killer” when other then killing Ros all your kills were for faction or instigated by other first (aka Tubbo fight near the king's bridge)

"I owe everything to you Bad" - Mocha

You would have not survived even the first week if it wasn't for this deathly being. Ironic how this devilish angel of death saved you and helped you in causing deaths (maybe it was to help you or maybe it also aligned with something he also wanted or a mix of both). Either way this other ancient immortal being was your saviour, and someone who was a mentor and close friend and family. He was the strong figure in Mocha's life who he trusted was strong enough and didn't push him away.

He was the strong pillar in Mocha's life who he owed everything to, ironic how death itself being a saviour to him. Bad gained nothing out of helping Mocha but he still did it that and yes it did also work to his advantage.

Mocha did want to live and was constantly worried about faction tasks until they were finished. He did care about surviving, even clinged to his last life for a very long time. Until he started seeking death and became more and more obsessive and chaotic.

When Mocha seeked death and all this while Death had been standing right by his side since the very beginning, helping him, protecting him and even stood next to Mocha and walked to the nether arena with him, giving him instructions the whole while he was getting closer and closer to getting lost forever.

And after the fight was over and Mocha was gone he wished he had prepared him more and checked his inventory before the fight.

"Pili and Pangi are like my family"

"Pili i am so proud of you”

"Your life was worth 7 lifes"

- Tr!Bad

"Bad and Pangi were my closest allies and like a family to me" - Mocha

And then comes the journey of Realms Eternal Crying Cat:-

You are a mayor of a snow town and was kidnapped from your home to this very different place you know nothing about and among these strangers who are calling you by your name and look at you like they know you and accuse you of things like amnesia when you are perfectly fine and have all your memories.

"Pili you should be less harsh with your words" WHY? Strangers telling you to be less harsh when you are simply just denying that you are not related in any way to the old cat they knew. There is no lie in that statement.

A certain someone telling you to be friends with him immediately and a certain someone else telling you that "you are not my Pili" and all this while your only goal is to find a way back home and not form attachments and they get annoyed when you simply just follow those two things. Others don't understand you so why do they expect the same?

And then there is this Totem god of life who immediately accepted you as a different and separate being from the old cat that once walked this Realm. He treats you kindly and does not use harsh names like Pili 1 and Pili 2. He is also the only person who doesn't relate you in any way shape or form to Mocha. It's almost as if he understands how life works. You are Pili 5 apples tall (a name Foolish gave him when they met on the day of end fight on the king's bridge)

You make a white room to test who you can trust on the Realm. There are simply two rules-you are only allowed to enter the room with no armour or weapons. The Totem walks without thinking twice.

(The paranoid angelic demon thinks twice before deciding but he also enters the white room in the end.)

And then the King does something no one else has seemingly even done and tried doing, HELPING YOU FIND A WAY BACK HOME.

The god of life calls the keepers to find a way back to your snowy town and even though it results in a bit of disappointment, that is still the most far someone has gone out to help you achieve that goal of going back home for you.

And the next couple of moments later you see him die in front of your very eyes, this is not only your first death you witnessed on the Realm but you also are not able to help stop it. You are dissociating in the white room and dealing with all other chaos happening and then you are killed. And then you kills yourself again through a beautiful purple crystal.

You decide to go to this Totem King and offer him your last life. You add with it an offer to join yellow and give your life because you know Mocha in the past had taken his life so you want to give him yours in return. He refuses saying you don't need to pay back for anything that part version of you did because you are different and also refuses to do it for any other reason unless you are simply looking for a reset. You agree and let him take your life.

You like your death to be a special occasion and only give others the pleasure of killing you when it's a special occasion or they are a special person to you. Foolish was the only one who did understand your need to be looked at as your own person and he gave you exactly that from day 1 on the end fight.

And then the god of life disagrees with everyone else who is still very untrusting of you and fully believes you are a different person from old Mocha. He even goes against words of his royal architect and smith father who are both a little untrusting of you due to Mocha's actions in the past. The King makes a decision as the ruler and you become part of his faction. He gives you a CHANCE to see where this decision of his will lead.

“its like having a family again”

“king I am gonna make sure I never let you down and will make you proud” - Pili

“I think I would like to give Pili 5 apples tall a chance a home. Since coming back he has been purple and been basically told by everyone- "I hate you, i liked the old Pili more" and you know its kind of been a lonely world out there for him. So I just think it would be nice to give him a chance and I would still like to prove that this is not the same Pili, this a completely different Pili and any actions of the different Pili should not be held against this Pili” - Foolish

He knows it can be risky but he still wishes to see where your addition to the kingdom will lead before harbouring any doubts towards you. Willing to always take a gamble this king and see where it will lead (a commen immortal trait to have)

You talk with King every time he is around. He gives you good advice- tells you to get strong but also be in control, to try and stop the cycle of back and forth you have got going on (Foolish was also one of the reason Pili simply handed Pedro back to Pangi) and has always got your back.

You trust him and he is the first person you confide in once the words of others about you having corruption and being the Mocha start getting to you (said by Beky and Pangi to Pili, at first he ignored it but later it did start getting to him)

The king simply tells you to stop believing in what others say about you to let those people “Royally fuck off”

You trust him with all of your secrets and thoughts. You are as transparent as you can be to him and promise to be loyal and fully mean those words (Foolish was the only person who knew entire truth about how the conflict between Pili and Pangi went. Pili confessed everything to him without leaving out any details or being biased in his words)

“you are one of the only people I trust in this place” - Pili

Over time you try your best to be helpful to the kingdom. You want to grow strong for them. From collecting flowers for the royal architect to being honest about everything with the King to also being there when Sneeg reached nirvana and helping him with the potions in the end. You contribute as much as you can.

The kingdom members also start trusting you from Ros protecting you when you felt unsafe in the throne room to Sneeg coming to help out when green stormed the castle or when you were unfairly murdered for no reason even though you didn't want the death to happen.

Soon even Ros starts opening up to you, talking about her feelings towards green and it seems like you are starting to get along with everyone in the kingdom.

“I feel like I have found a family”

“I am on the right side of history for once”

- Pili

A stage of Pili reconsidering if he should leave yellow so his conflict with Pangi wouldn't affect the kingdom also comes. He is happy in the Kingdom and likes being part of it but also doens't want anyone from Kingdom to suffer the consequences if his actions. That one classic move he is known to do, pushing people away so they wouldn't suffer because of him (this straight of his character both stems from being attachment avoidant and definitely has some undertones of being a independent individual).

And then comes the Royal Ball 2, an event that is supposed to be entirely to fix Ros’s time sickness. You, the King and Ros spend alot of time building for it and finally after hours finish all the work.

Then you accidentally die a hour before the party begins but Ros trades her time for you to come back and attend the event. Same Ros who once doubted you joining yellow and was not the most happy with that decision of the king.

And when you are having the best day ever you are killed in the middle of the room and the consequences of that are felt by the entire faction. Sneeg starts hunting down your murderer (maybe it's because a rule is broken but he is also frustrated it's always you getting killed over and over again) and Ros is caught in the crossfire.

The King asks the Keepers to trade two of his lives, one for the heart of yellow, the Royal architect Roscumber and another for you, Sir Pili of DTown. A life for PILI!

For Ros its expected since she was a lot high level player and Foolish finds giving one of his lifes to her so she could survive much more important but Pili...he doesn't need to do that for him since he was reset and at 0 already...but he still asks the keepers to do it. But sadly it doens't go his way.

“Pili has been one of the loyalest member of our kingdom” - Foolish

“After I showed up here Foolish is literally the only person who treats me with kindness and still defends me and thinks I am my own person and i should be treated like my own person”

- Pili

And that's where his journey ends.

Just a rough analysis and writing thoughts down of parallels some between Mocha and Pili. Mocha was best understood by Bad out of everyone else on the Realm. He knew Mocha had to kill and he wanted to survive and needed to do that. Bad has nothing to gain with helping red and he wasn't even a fan of red to begin with but Mocha was someone he was close to and he still misses that companionship. Also one of the reasons why he could never get along with Pili 2. He was different but also acted similarly but he still wasn't his Mocha.

On the other side we have Foolish whose faction suffered the most because of Mocha still immediately understood Pili 2’s situation and treated him like his own person since the start and later down the line even was willing to give a chance to him and let him join yellow. Even going against what the heart of the kingdom Ros wanted. It was a Kingly decision made solely by him and he was a right. Pili 2 was loyal to yellow. And let's not forget the three times Pili calling him older brother figure.

There is definitely something poetic in both those journeys. Mocha survived and tried to live and this death immortal helping him achieve that (he could have chosen not to help and the red faction would have not survived). He was someone Mocha owed his life to and wasn't mad when Bad accidentally took one of it. Mocha didn't push him away because he knew he could trust Bad, he wouldn't get hurt, he was a strong person in his eyes. He quite literally had a big part in Mocha's life from becoming what he did and even till the very end. Bad didn't care about the red faction but he cared about Mocha, and helping red did work in his favour since later down the line he got some red members in green.

“Pili 1 was the arbitrator of red faction” - Bad

Foolish was a very large part of Pili 2’s life. I genuinely sometimes sit down and think what would have happened if he hadn't been compassionate and open with him. He was the one person who always had Pili's back in his own way even going against what everyone was saying. He believed what Pili told him and was willing to take the risk and see where the road leads to and show he was right about trusting Pili, he was different from Mocha. This totem was the only person who treated him fairly and Pili also in return never took advantage of it, simply followed him. A strong pillar in Pili 2’s life. If it wasn't for this immortal inviting him to be part of his kingdom this little cursed immortal would have been very chaotic since even his will to go home had been broken by them.

A CHANCE, that's what Bad and Foolish both gave Mocha & Pili, and in the end neither of them regrets doing that risky gamble. It worked in their favour but also became emotionally closer and attached to this cursed Immortal.

And that's where the tale ends for now. A little cursed immortal quite literally stuck in a cycle of life and death finding ways to escape it. From being drawn to people who have a death aura surrounding them but also at the same time having that little will to live and live those happy moments at times (even if it comes at the expense of him getting manipulated or dying).

In the end Death is still clinging to the memories and Life is moving on like it always does. Wonder what the new storm Pili 3 will bring.

[siren-of-fire]

Tr!Pili and Tr!Clown the unspoken duo?

Still can't wrap my head around Ace speaking so fondly of him during the finale. Clown was never someone I imagined ever falling in this criterion. I expected Bad, Pangi, Foolish, Zam, Ash but never Clown. But it also feels fitting because in the end he was one of the people who was consistent and his view in Pili's eyes never changed.

In my head I am still there when Mocha sent moo to Clown instead of noo because his N key wasn't working, or when Bad teased him about Clown, also Bad giving the worst best advice on what to message him or the totally not the most awkward QnA session I have ever seen that even made me pause the stream entirely for a few seconds or the Choccy milk saga. I AM STILL MENTALLY LIVING THERE... anyways...*cough*.... anyways back to the point. So yeah Clown unlike Pangi or Zam wasn't the "goat who got washed", even after Ace arrived he still acted awfully similar towards him like the way he did with Mocha. Nothing changed. He still called him not enough.

But atleast that was still better then people who once called him enough and showered him with all the compliments and friendship later turning there back on him, ignoring him and pointing fingers at him. So one way or another Clown was atleast real and upfront with him. A loving touch turned into a stab tends to hurt more then a hand that has made you bleed since the first time you touched it.

With the way Ash early on acted towards him, Ace despite the cruel words was still interested in him, or when Ace said to Clown that one day he will prove to him that he infact was enough makes me definitely feel that Ace enjoyed this sort of thrill so his line towards Clown today makes sense. Ace even has the memories so he also knows Clown's past interactions and memories with Mocha so his reasoning probably stemmed from that.

Other then Clown and Pili whoever you ask on the Realm who was the winner of the fight in the nether arena they would answer that it was Clown. But in reality Clown like Pili was also really committed to it and during the fight they both killed a part of each other that never got recovered and changed everything in the story that unfolded post fight- Pili returned as someone entirely different and strange with the red shackles not holding him anymore while Clown no longer had a purpose to be around so his presence was just words and memories shared between the people who still were around.

Also another question that only a few people can fully answer right is why did Mocha fight Clown, the complexity of this question even has me in a tight grip (and punching myself whenever I see people only answer it half ass way). No it wasn't just because he was obsessed with Clown, no it wasn't just because he was done with red and wanted to escape and Clown was his way to having a "cool death", it wasn't just because dying and giving up his life is his biggest form of affection, it wasn't just because of having revenge of cruelty yellow had towards red, it wasn't just because of there being that little hope inside of Mocha that maybe just maybe him dying to Clown would work and he would finally taste the one thing he isn't able to have-the sweet realease of death, and no it also just wasn't because of Clown challenging him that one time or Mocha wanting to prove something. It was all of those reason combined. Mocha or pretty much every Pili variant has this ability where they know that whatever the consequences will be they can take it, some might call it reckless but when you look deeply into the way he acts and prepares you would know he is much more perceptive of what's to come (this one I fear only few can get who have watched his pov a fuck tone but hey it's there and this thing can be seen many times). That fight having more then reason in the end seems fitting to me for his character.

Anyways shoutout to Clown's tower which has been a significant place in Pili's story. Fom that one conversation there with Pangi, to Pili going there during his mental crisises and many more moments that happened there. Also that tower even survived getting any significant damage during the castle blowing up which is impressive.

[siren-of-fire]

Pili: Don't you guys think that it's quite interesting, that even if "The Harbinger" - whatever you say the thing is, I still don't understand why they chose such a horrible and ugly name I'm not gonna lie - even if The Harbinger's not here you gotta say it's quite impressive how nature keeps taking its way.

It's quite ironic how everyone keep blaming me, pointing fingers at me. "Oh Pili you're gonna cause impending doom. Oh Pili you're gonna cause the world to die, you're the cause of why everything's so wrong, everything's going wrong, everyone's gonna die" Huh. How odd, how odd that the world is still on doomsday track without me moving a finger, isn't it. It seems to me like maybe it was not my fault, maybe that's just what it's destined to do.

I came to Clown's tower 'cause I kinda forgot, I'm not gonna lie, I went to a very deep, deep slumber for the past days I've just been sleeping. If you guys think I've doing anything interesting, or building some sort of machine or doing anything like that, no.

The reality is that I've been sleeping because I gotta be honest, the last time that I was here I kinda realised something. There's nothing for me to do here. There's truly nothing for me to do here anymore. What is the point in trying to inflict pain, and trying to cause chaos and trying to do things in a world where people just don't care? Where's the fun in that?

If the entire world wants to kill themselves then do it! Then fucking do it! But I'm not gonna waste my time playing games with people that don't even care about their own lives anymore. They're just wasting my time, and I'd rather take a big fat fucking sleep before wasting my time in such activity. It's just nonsense.

If they wanna die and they want their world destroyed then so be it. I'm not gonna take either side A or B, I'm just gonna step out 'cause there's not really any purpose for me in here and I just feel like it's a waste of time in reality.

[siren-of-fire]

High Keeper: Why sit here? Why this tower? Why not just roam the wilds?

Pili: Well, for now I'm reminiscing. Reminiscing on the past one last time. Thinking about a good old friend that I miss, a little bit. Maybe not a friend, definitely something else.

High Keeper: And does that not strike you as "odd", for someone so used to being alone?

Pili: Well I understand that life has its chapters, and people come and go. Nothing is eternal, things have a beginning and an end, and even if it ends and I'm alone again, I'm still happy and I still cherish those memories that I spent with people.

High Keeper: Let me ask you a question, what do you see yourself as?

Pili: I don't know, depends on what I'm feeling. Depends on the day, depends on the occasion. Depends on the mood, on the people. I have no shape or form, I am change. Constant change. In this moment? I see myself as a mere spectator, nothing more, nothing less. I just want to see what happens at the end of the story and move on, move on with my life. Keep doing what I do, get some closure, out of curiosity. I am a cat, after all.

Pili and his faction colours never seem to amaze me.

He is The Red member, the Arbitrator of that faction and the on who took it's responsibility. With his brown eyes that turned red after the kill and his red neck scarf.

And he is a Yellow Member whose addition in the faction was a point of debate among the members and in the end the King decided to use his authority to make him a member and wanting him to get a home. Foolish didn't care about his past actions towards yellow, he accepted him.

And Green, the most subtle underlineing colour he has, if you know him and know his history you would know he fits well with that faction (way too well). Anyone remember Royal Ball 2 and how his badge turned green or how he was sitting on the green table the whole time...

And now Purple, he was purple when he came back corrupted but that changed when he wanted to feel belonged and wished to ground himself to this Realm since the keepers told him there was no way out. He wanted a home and Foolish gave him that opportunity. Too bad in the end that never got to happen and he left it feeling less grounded to this Realm then he even was before as early Pili 2.
