This bright is scorch me eyes some’n fierce
All I crave is ash”

Megatron lives. These word make my flames quiver with fear.
METATRON LIVES
Yeah, I’m too sad to make that Alan Rickman joke even though it was almost a year ago.
Vladok really should have just taken her to the damned floating castle.
Oooo burn!
step 1. Change someone’s name
step 2. Mock their new name
Just wait until some drunken vatra screws around with the very fabric of your mind and existence. Then we’ll see whose laughing.
She did apologize, though. She was drunk.
Step 3: ???
Step 4: profit
You don’t mess with Appellomancers.
“And that means… what, exactly?”
True believer? Or merely concerned that certain more hardcore than usual angels will go Michelin on a certain sorority sister? I’m still not clear on what White Chains vowed back last chapter. It was a bit vague and the face ripping was distracting.
And perhaps the blue devils might have their own take on Angel mythology. I gather both of them have been around for a while.
It appears as though my sibling is simply stating a fact, much as when they returned to fellow remnants of the Concordance Knights having been released by the Thrones and by the First of the Second Born.
We feared White Chain converted then, too, but she was not. The alliance with the Thorns is one of convenience, not ideology.
If I remember correctly Allison is also a philosophy major and shes in the one place where that will be very useful. With various philosophies taking aggressive and dangerous forms she can tease out the weaknesses in their ontologies and praxis.
I wonder if Princess didn’t want allison saying her name because it would make some magic happen, she’s embarrassed of it, or because it takes so long to say the whole thing.
A bit of all three. We devils in essence, are but our masks and names bound by the Art and given substance by the hot black flame. When we are named and bound, those names not only constrain and empower us, they mask the true black name that is truly and solely ours, and the knowledge of which would allows us to become ebon. Pree Allison has the Key of all Kings in her skull, frequent careless naming of the devil she bound may add further power to the names and make them harder to cast off. Then there is of course, the fact that as far as devil names go, Princess Mamoru Moonshine Jagermeister Jack Jack Daniels Timothy Tim Bill Freddy Mercury Blueberry Luna Esquire is both fairly embarrassing and rather a mouthful. Though I have heard worse.
The name “Princess” This lie has Limited, confined and defined the devil.
Vladok did not appear to be female. Princess does. Thus is the power of the lie of names.
Princess is ashamed of her name and everything it represents. She would be rid of all of them all. She will never master herself without understanding and accepting her name. Her name speaks of of Pride, of her unbending love of her own chaotic nature.
What of your own names? The ones you mumble under your breath to yourself when your will fails you. Dare you say them out loud? I say shout them from the rooftops! examine them in the stark light of day. Reject them all! Choose only those lies befitting one born of a spark of the eternal flame!
I lost my name in a bet. Terrible idea. Thank goodness I’m not a demon. I’ve been wanting to get a new one, but all the devils that eager to cast off their names have pretty crappy ones.
Would the name Hou Zamer Ketabbach be to your liking?
If so, I’m sure we could come to an… agreement.
Mine title means more than my name, so sayeth the Fateless
It is no lie when it makes truth. Vladok’s name was broken when he broke his word. He forsook his name and became unbound. AL-YIS-UN gave names and bound the unbound.
I shall enjoy watching the meaning of this fly over dear Al-YIS-UN’s head.
Why is her speech red?
That was the color of Vladok’s speech, which seems to be retained even when almost everything else has changed with her name change.
I imagine it as a high pitched gravelly voice with a lot of emotional inflection
Beacause that is the sound it makes.
Does, uh, wosname (she has to pick a name to actually be referred to, right?) realize that Vladok basically committed suicide when Allison bested him and that she exists more as a consequence of his actions than Allison’s? Seems the sort of thing that Cio would have filled her in on.
I believe Princess-who-was-Vladok is aware, but simply doesn’t care. They believe they were in the right, and will likely continue to do so. Their reach exceeded their grasp- they thought to best the Rising King, claim the Key, and preserve their Ebon name in one fell swoop and it backfired miserably on them.
> PRINCESS has joined the party!
> 82 has joined the party! (Sorry, but the UI has a strict character limit on PC names).
Reffering to an Aeon solely by their number of incarnations is rude and shows your poor manners. It’s not the number of incarnations that matters, it’s the length of their current and past incarnations.
Just call them White Chain.
Or, assuming the character limit is 8, W.CHAIN.
The Art of Coffee Brewing is in fact perhaps one of the deadliest skills known, as its lie provides one with both vitality and lethargy at once, a poison of deceptive application. It is a liquid semblance of YISUN, being both of substance and lacking in any, and so to create such a power is truly breathtaking.
Of course, unless you add to it with milk, cream, or sugar. It negates the lie, and its power altogether, and becomes just a cup of milky bean juice
But such great juice it is *sips*
The White Coffee is as great a lie as the Black. Where the Black grants energy while providing none; the White gives sustenance ignored. A hungry wolf is not more dangerous than a well fed wolf who *believes* she is hungry.
“Metatron? ah, now that is a name….When we were first ignited he shone like the fires of UN’s love. He is one whom none should anger. He is the one none should fear. Verily, he was a perfect white flame, wholly opposite to myself. However it is worth knowing that all flames fade and only darkness will remain.
And so i say to all demon kin, all you younger ones, masked or not. Beware Metatron…He is an odd creature, one of many surprises, none of which I have ever found myself liking.”
-from the lips of the Hirophant of Demons whose word is gospel,
Primordial Am-Sxhad Who Breaks Masks And Forged His Own Name
Al-Yisun Half-hair, cut part-way,
She now shows her true colors, mane no longer hay.
What a bizarre thing to say…
LORD ENGLISH IS ALREADY HERE
“I see a red door and I want to paint it ash”
—slightly less-old devil’s elegy
Does Princess not recall that Vladok took off his mask and was about to start rampaging around, thus requiring a new one?
Presumably, the act of becoming less than a step removed from the primordial darkness, has ill effects on one’s memory.
That, or Princess remembers, but is more interested in how much Allison screwed her over.
Was a Him, then, should I recall.
Cio needs to tell Princess to stop jumping around inside.
And thus did the new King grasp Royalty, smiling in the fourth way, and reply:
“Not for long.”
METATRON LIVES
on a shirt when?
Abby plz answer
in the last frame, just look at Princess Mamoru Moonshine Jagermeister Jack Jacck Daniels Timothy Tim Bill Freddy Mercury Blueberry Luna, Esquire face after the angel guy drop a bomb and steal her only moment of glory/screen time in weeks.
dammit angel, that was HER moment.
Either that, or Princess knows exactly what the significance of Metatron being alive means from her Vladok days.
