Argenti's Palace

[beautifulknight]

The stage is set they say;
They don their masks and shields,
Shadows creep and cover their minds;
Now, what beautiful role shall they play?

Bringing the light of Beauty back into people's lives by dealing with their problems. So they can "embrace the Beauty of Idrila."

[ She's kind of envious that he doesn't remember, honestly... ]

How the fuck did you manage to tune that out? He repeats it like a broken signal.

[goei]

I didn't tune that out! That's why I brought it up! Just that everything he says about that doesn't make any goddamn sense.

[vogelfrei]

"Beauty" is more of a philosophy of life to him than what one might consider the traditional definition. It's the essence of what keeps someone going, the principle that makes the universe worth living in.

[ SAYING THIS TO MAIKA AND VERY MUCH NOT TO IZOU. ]

[goei]

[WHATEVER UR EYEBROWS ARE UGLY ANYWAY BINCH]

[kandata]

Could 'beauty itself' be a valid answer?

[If it's that one, we so have to make it a speech]

[vogelfrei]

How would beauty be tarnished to begin with? That does feel like an oxymoron to me.

[kandata]

I am not certain -- but Argenti would be the kind of person who adheres to the philosophy that even beauty that has been sullied in any way is worth beholding.

[I'm flying by the seat of my pants since this palace started, wow]

[vogelfrei]

He certainly does believe in starting over and trying again.

[ Unless you're Fuyu, in which case, get fucked. ]

[bloodandstars]

That's philosophy for you. Pretty sure there's dozens of poems about exactly that.

[ Ugh... ]

What you were saying before, though. It's more about the will to live even if you have to trudge through the mud to do it.

[vogelfrei]

"Beauty is the light within one's soul." That's what he told me.

[ He's staring somewhere into the middle distance rather than looking at anything or anyone for the next part: ]

So that would be my answer. The soul.

[goei]

[LOUDLY ROLLING HIS EYES SPECIFICALLY BECAUSE MCGILLIS SAID IT.]

[vogelfrei]

[ Suck it, Izou. His eyebrows are handsome. ]

[bloodandstars]

[ Yeah, that's pretty persuasive. She supposes on the offchance this thing really is waiting for an answer from all of them, she'll have to cast her vote accordingly. ]

Heart, soul. Same thing. Then I'm going with that.
