[This is my single thread which isn't in the library. Viktor is, instead, in the little computer and science lab.
For now, he isn't working with anything, merely moving here and there to look and inspect stuff. The emotions are... oddly subdued, like they are behind foggy glass.]
It's a good thing I'm not going to do anything untoward.
[He clasps the hand with his weirdo indigo one. The flesh is cool, the texture a little strange, but more than that, pieces of cold and golden metal cap parts of his hand.
He extends a vision; no, a memory of what exactly it is he does. The very first time he had.]
[ jesus i already knew this show was beautiful but damn is it BEAUTIFUL
anyway as soon as he sees the memory, brimstone immediately yanks his hand away like he's touched a hot stove. he's back to radiating wariness, but now also, alarm. ]
Uh-huh. Sure. [ not that he buys that in particular ] And there were never any disagreements in your perfect little commune? Nobody ever had any fights?
There's no such thing as perfect peace and prosperity even in a group of two. If you had that somehow, then you did something to quash any rebellion.

[He turns and stretches one of his strange hands out in offering.]
I can show you if you'd like.
no subject
What are you planning on doing with that?
no subject
Show you what it is I do. You aren't scared, are you? I won't hurt you.
no subject
What would you even heal anyway, if that's what you actually do? I don't need any healing.
no subject
I don't plan to heal you, not unless you need it. Only allow you to witness it.

Just a peaceful neutrality.]

Looked like some pretty violent healing.

Viktor allows Brimstone to draw back without any kind of pursuit. Just showing the very beginnings of the glorious evolution.]
It is not as bad as it seems. The end result is freedom from pain and suffering.

on the other hand, it's too good to be true. ]
Not all of it. It can't be.

Until others brought their disagreements and their wars to our doorstep.

How'd your peace and prosperity fare after that?

A travesty which could have been avoided really.

It was a municipality. The people who came to me of their own will were told how the healing worked. They could leave if they wished.

There were never any fights. There is no reason for disagreements when everyone is a part of a single collective.
