soul eater (d1) death the kid

(no subject)

[The boy looks tired, but perfectly clean, as does the astral plane. Kid has been spending the last fews days moping up the blood and picking up the guts and disinfecting everything in sight, including the "floor". There's some nicely scented air fresheners strewn about, in a large figure 8 around where all the blood was (Also, Sam's desk and the bar are most likely organized symmetrically at the moment). You wouldn't be able to find a speck of blood if you crawled on your hands and knees and searched with a magnifying glass. Kid would know - He's just done it :|]

Perfect! I shouldn't expect anything less of myself.

[His stomach growls.]

... I haven't eaten anything since I first came here, have I?

I organized it.

It already was organised. You rearranged it and put it out of order.

Are you kidding?! It was a mess! There wasn't any balance!

The pens were where the pens were supposed to be! The papers were filed according to date and name! There was a particular spot where colleagues could sit on it while we chatted about cases! It was perfectly organised!

Well, there you go! There was too much stuff on one side of the desk. If they need a place to sit, get them a chair!

'Too much stuff on one side of the desk'? It's made of metal! It's not going to tip over!

There wasn't any symmetry!!

....what?? What the hell does that have to do with anything?

Everything!! Symmetry is the the most wonderful kind of perfection! When the left side mirrors the right side without fault! It's such a beautiful sight to behold.

...You're absolutely barkers! How do you even decide what the axis of symmetry is? Nothing's symmetrical! [hand flail! And then he goes to his desk and starts reorganising it]

NOO! STOP IT! YOU'RE DESTROYING THE SYMMETRY!!

Make things symmetrical in your own corner of the plane! Leave my desk alone!

[And Kid took that statement as an act of aggression!]

You want to fight?!

No, why would I want to fight you? I want my desk to be organised the way I like it!

And I want things to be beautiful!

Make your own things beautiful! This is my desk and it has to be practical!

How can it be practical if it isn't balanced?!

How is symmetry practical?!

It's perfection! Anything that is perfect is practical!

Symmetry is a far cry from perfect.

Wh-what kind of horrid world do you come from?! Symmetry is the ultimate perfection!

No, it isn't. It's absolutely useless most of the time, and it's dead impractical trying to make things symmetrical.

It is the purpose of my life to bring the world into perfect balance. I must fix everything I can, and that includes your desk!

...That's your purpose in life?

Yes.
