Warnings: Sesshomaru being a grump.

{Silver hair flies in the wind and soft white fur is gently ruffled against a pale cheek. Sesshomaru is quite a striking presence wherever he goes, bearing the signs of his good breeding in the form of two crimson stripes on his cheeks and a purple crescent moon on his forehead. His ears taper into delicate points, too, and his eyes are the color of rich amber. When he speaks, he is accustomed to being listened to and obeyed.

Thus his first appearance on the network is dramatic, yet brief.}

Speak.

{His low voice brooks no argument and his expression is cold. He is difficult to read in the best of circumstances and his current predicament doesn't necessarily signify anything good.}

I am Sesshomaru, Lord of the Western Lands. What have you discovered about this world and the rifts?

I carry what I need to see to it. Think on it.

{Tenseiga rests at his hip, useless in battle, but magnificent with the dead.}

[telepathicignorance]

I'll think on it.

(They're absolutely saying this to shut him up.

Perhaps some day he'll meet them in person and realize they aren't actually dead, just well and truly fucked up.)

[prince_of_the_moon]

There is time still to learn.

{Until they rest for good. Somehow.}

[telepathicignorance]

Pretty sure pessimism is the most realistic view, buddy.

(It has been their literal experience.

Hoping for better is just dangerous. As far as they're concerned, it's what got them into this mess.)

[prince_of_the_moon]

Then why does it have a different name?

[telepathicignorance]

Probably because someone wanted to feel superior.

[prince_of_the_moon]

Superior in their misery? Ridiculous.

[telepathicignorance]

I meant the "realist" wanted to feel superior.

How did the person who named it that know they're the one with the most correct view anyway? What makes their perspective the most real?

[prince_of_the_moon]

Evidence suggests they are more balanced. {Extremes don't work.}

[telepathicignorance]

Balance only exists on large scales. On a personal level, lots of things can end up skewed to extremes.

(One person might be rich and powerful. Another person might be a Re-Gene.)

[prince_of_the_moon]

One's outlook should not be skewed. Once you realize you are not being realistic, you should change.

[telepathicignorance]

Pretty sure my outlook is an accurate reflection of my personal experience.
