*. ⊹ ✧ — Indeed, the nature of some humans includes not only avarice, but a consistent diet of consumption and/or extraction. Yet their bellies are never sated. A particular, universe-spanning empire springs into mind. Caelus himself mired in their schemes as well.
🙶 The number one perpetrator of this system are the higher-ups at the IPC, 🙷 he said, 🙶 They control, own, or fund most of the known universes’ projects and so on, and often committing at least questionable practices in the process. So⋯ 🙷
Caelus sighs. Much ground to cover, so he’ll spare the gritty details unless inquired.
🙶 Of course. Your main advantage here is that there’s no world to exploit, but ya need to be careful with the personal stuff. It’s not always hard currency, but emotions such as fear are also material to them, thus ripe for manipulation. I can manage well enough to make sure that doesn’t happen to you. One second is all they need. 🙷
Plus, his contacts include some high-ranking SID personnel. Such is the Nameless’ habit of alliances while keeping a fair distance—while diplomacy isn’t Caelus’ strong suit, he tries resolving issues before brandishing his favored weapon⋯ patience and capricious nature willing.
