Staring into the reverse of the moon

[elevatoravatar]

[Phone]

I have noticed that recently many people have devolved to a more simple frame of mind, then restored themselves. Was this by accident, was it a trick of the moon? I have no childhood so I know not what it is like but, was wondering if one could explain it. If compensation is needed I could make a quest out of it, but honestly, I simply feel that I am missing something to help me understand humanity.

There are still so many questions.

Hey.

I'm back to myself.

[elevatoravatar]

I am quite glad, I was worried for you. To be forever trapped in the past must be a terrible fate.

It was an event, an event! There were these weird cookies that turned people into children! Either mentally, physically, or both!

[elevatoravatar]

Still, many lust for a time when they seemed to think things were simpler. A time from before, to be stuck living in such a way confuses me.

That and even were it an event, I know nothing of an innocent past.

[extraordinarily]

I guess so, huh... it's too bad I didn't go to a simple time! Middle school was more of a boring time to me.

[Though it would have been better if she were an elementary school kid...]

And that's too bad. Were you born the same as you are now? Like a robot!

[elevatoravatar]

I was brought into being as I am now, created for a purpose that required a certain maturity. My sister created slightly more mature and my brother slightly less. Time is meaningless where I come from so living in it is... Confusing.

I remember eating some candy before the effects took place. After 24 hours, my body expelled the toxin and the effects wore off.

[She neglects to mention the de-aging she received at the hands of Suzumiya.]

As for childhood, I guess you have a more innocent and optimistic mindset.

[elevatoravatar]

So this romp through the past was brought about from the town. Do you remember it at all?

I myself never had a childhood so this is all fascinating.

[answerer_sword]

...Yes, unfortunately, I do remember it.

[Even if there were some embarrassing parts that she wanted to forget.]

You...never had a childhood? Are you not human?

[elevatoravatar]

No, I am not. My master created me to assist him in caring to the needs of those who came to the velvet room.

[noluckduck]

What, ya literally didn't have a childhood?

[elevatoravatar]

I did not. Time is a meaningless thing where I come from, one simply came to be and existed for a purpose.

[noluckduck]

So what are ya?

[kinship]

I'm pretty sure it was just an effect of the town... sometimes strange things just happen here.

[elevatoravatar]

Yes, I have dwelled here in the maw of Erebus for a year now. Still I sometimes wonder what it is about before that is better than now.

[kinship]

The maw of Erebus?

[Is she referring to Mayfield itself? Is this another name for it that he doesn't know yet?]

[elevatoravatar]

Yes... That is the simplest way of describing Mayfield.

[mal_addict]

I wish I knew what caused it so I could express my great displeasure.

[elevatoravatar]

This city does sometimes cause ordeals like this. I just wonder why many lust for that which has been and fear that which has not yet come.

[mal_addict]

...No. Definitely not. I want that part of my life dead and buried.

[elevatoravatar]

That is a rare sentiment indeed.

[beardonfire]

'Understand' humanity? What's there to get?

[elevatoravatar]

There are many things. What makes them love, what makes them fear, why is the past preferable to the future to one, while the opposite holds true for another?

[beardonfire]

Hmph! Sounds like far too much to remember for me! That's why I don't worry about anyone but myself.

[elevatoravatar]

A valid viewpoint... But if your greatest foe feeds on negative aspects of humanity, I wish to know so that I may truly make its suffering worth it.
