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?

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.

"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.

[ 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.
