Yup. It's not like any high school I've ever seen though. Have you ever been to places like that? [Sieg recognizes Egypt and that's interesting enough that she's wondering how much information this baby-brain holds.]
Some high schools are really big, but ours was only a couple of stories. I guess it was nice though. [They're heading downstairs as she explains, hands folded behind her back.] We had classes six days a week and our school year started in April. The people were pretty okay, and there were all kinds of clubs you could join like drama or band or soccer or whatever. It was really common for you to join at least one while you were there. We have three grade levels...I only finished my first year though.
But we got to do fun things, too, like culture festivals and stuff! Each class got to pick an event and we'd run it out of our classrooms for people to come and visit. There were also school trips to other cities.
[Six days? He has no idea if that's normal or not, but Love sounds like it's okay. Love also seems to have a different outlook on the whole high school thing than Disorder does.
Maybe it's part of where their high schools were?]
What happened? Did you have to go somewhere before you could finish?
[A shrug!] I decided to leave again, yeah. And then I came here. [i.e. Love became a god instead of starting her second year.] It maybe sounds silly to say, but the trips I got to take with my class were fun because I've never really done it before. For a long time I didn't attend school very much because my schedule made it hard.
Exactly. I got to do a lot of new things and that can never be taken away from me. [But uh. Hm. What the hell?]
...yeah. I was, but I took a break for a year before I went back. [She sounds a little incredulous, but also a little amazed.] I guess it makes sense to think about if you've spoken to her.
Yeah? I guess I don't really act like an idol much these days anyway...I can see why that's surprising. I haven't spoken to Ai-san, but maybe I should.
We can call audiences, yeah. It's just a little freaky to pop up on people unexpected, isn't it? [A pause.] ...I've missed it a lot, so yeah. I did like it...I had plans to go back and make myself better than ever, but things changed.
...I never carried my own mic, but I'm wondering if I should have.
I'll think about it. Do you really think she'd like to talk to me? [There's a laugh and they enter the kitchen.]
I accepted the position as a god because I knew it's what I had to do...but yeah. That happened. This is just a bigger stage and I can reach even more people now.
Some of you guys are a little more reluctant to talk to us than you are, Sieg-san. [Just saying. She'll follow along, watching him get to work and taking note.]
It wasn't just that. I knew I had a bigger purpose and that I could finally do my part if I accepted the choice. So I did. It's why I really need to win...
A two-way street huh? Maybe. [She's paying close attention at least, watching the whisk go round and round.]
The purpose is to create a world where people are loved and cared for without having to hide the truth about who they are, and create a world where human emotions are valued. And, you know, make a steady world where people aren't alone. Stuff like that.
That's how most communication works. Um... when you have that ability. I had to take the Chaldea Master from their dreams. That was probably rude... I did apologize for that.

[The version of himself that's in Chaldea's been to plenty of places. Sieg is vaguely aware of that him and his experiences.]
What was your high school like?

[He takes a moment to think about it.]
... Were you an idol? Ai said she didn't have a lot of free time either.
no subject
...yeah. I was, but I took a break for a year before I went back. [She sounds a little incredulous, but also a little amazed.] I guess it makes sense to think about if you've spoken to her.

To be honest, I wasn't expecting to be right.

I think Elizabeth Báthory is one?

Did you like being an idol?
She's a Servant at Chaldea. She carries around a microphone.

Thing changed... like becoming a god? It sounds like you weren't planning on it.
Was it usually on the stage?
no subject
I accepted the position as a god because I knew it's what I had to do...but yeah. That happened. This is just a bigger stage and I can reach even more people now.

[He'll take out the ingredients they'll need.]

It wasn't just that. I knew I had a bigger purpose and that I could finally do my part if I accepted the choice. So I did. It's why I really need to win...

[ He cracks the eggs before adding in all the spices, whisking them together and letting Love know what's going into it and the proportions. ]
What is that purpose?
no subject
The purpose is to create a world where people are loved and cared for without having to hide the truth about who they are, and create a world where human emotions are valued. And, you know, make a steady world where people aren't alone. Stuff like that.

It'd be nice for that world to exist.

I wasn't the first one to do it.
