[Today, there is a knock at your door! But it's not that usual vampire brat standing there once the door opens. Instead, it's a teen girl with white hair, also known as the Rat King going around as a human.]



Good afternoon. Do you mind if I ask you a few questions about the supernatural?

[It's survey time....]

So there's still the matter of consideration. Perhaps I'll make it easy for you: I can be a formidable threat if the situation calls for it. I know better than attacking innocent people; I will not take betrayal light and I will not hesitate or hold back if my life or my freedoms are in danger.

If my knowledge of universal science and alchemy make me an enemy to your church, then so be it; as I recall, Christianity doesn't take lightly ideas that go against their so-called God.

[splitthebaby]

Your 'freedoms'. An ironic statement considering the country we're supposedly in. Regardless, threats do nothing but interest me. Very rarely is someone out there capable of harming me in any form, much less killing me. What charmed life I live.

As for heretical things, the Church is and has been fully capable of working with alchemists. I seem to remember a failed expedition not too long ago....

[suicidoll]

This country did not exist in the time frame of my origins, so it means nothing to me.

So the church has an immortal amongst their ranks...far from the shining example indeed.

As for your church, I refuse to work with those that wish to label me a threat and then suggest I be supervised should I unnecessarily lash out at others.

[splitthebaby]

The Church is willing to work with anyone that will work with them. That goes for you. It's easier to be a friend by far. Why, I am even willing to write favorable terms and conditions.

Don't think of it as bad. The Church did the same with me.

[suicidoll]

So I'm either with you or against you, is that it? Earn your favor or stand at the sharp end of your blade?

(Kreutzer chuckles.)

I suppose Christianity is the same across space and time. You choose to accept their terms, but understand that I will not.

[splitthebaby]

You're drawing conclusions again. I just said it's far more favorable to work with the Church than against it.

There are those who exist outside the realm of the Church, however, that seek to end such things with violent force. Right here in Mayfield.

[suicidoll]

I choose to say outside the realm of your church, but will not act against your church if you will not act against me. A neutral force, if you will.

[splitthebaby]

When the one called Bazett finds you, well....I may have pity.

[suicidoll]

May I ask why I should be concerned with her?

[splitthebaby]

She's a Mage's Association Enforcer....and a rather annoying one, at that. All she knows how to be is violent.

[suicidoll]

And what would a Mage's Association Enforcer want to do with me? Is neutrality outlawed by them?

[splitthebaby]

To see if your work is 'evil' in any sort and stop you if it is. With Bazett....well, the word 'demon' will make her attack right away, I'm afraid.

Consider that warning as my gift to you. Perhaps you can outtalk her if you encounter her.

[suicidoll]

I am no demon; let that be made certain. My work simply reflects my neutral purposes, much like your work is for your church.

I'm flattered. Should the need arise, I'll be sure to tell her exactly what I've told you.

[splitthebaby]

Considering she assaulted me before I even could attempt to explain a joke, I doubt you'll get that much time.

[suicidoll]

She certainly sounds like an enforcer type...nonetheless, I'll deal with her as I see fit.

[splitthebaby]

Good luck.

[suicidoll]

And so, our conversation comes to a close. Good day, mr. Solomon.

(Already making her way to the door with Hajime close behind.)
