Ryoji Mochizuki's secrets to the universe.

Ryoji Mochizuki's secrets to the universe.
AKA what taking Introduction to Philosophy does to KKJ.
OOC Note: for Suzume to see only...Ryoji's not gonna go telling this to anyone. ;;

Everyone here is deluded. You tell them anything and they'll believe it. Stick them in a world they've never been to before and they'll believe anything you tell them about it. (I told everyone that no one in this world can die. It isn't true. But what reason is there to kill each other anyway? If they believe it's true, maybe it is true. After all, this world...)

This world isn't what everyone thinks it is. (Not at all. This world doesn't even exist. It's a figment of their imaginations. Mass delusion. See? I told you they're all deluded. No, I'm kidding. It's real. It's real and it's actually kind of unfortunate. It's a plaything. She loves her playthings. So, it's basically a figment of her imagination that she's brought to life and the people here are her toys. Who is she? Well...I'll get to that eventually, but...)

I guess we should consider just what exactly controls this world. This world exists in an alternate dimension, pulling in pieces of all other possible worlds. Do you know the theory? Possible worlds? To put it simply, it says that our world is just one of an infinite number of possible worlds. The theory says that our possible world was chosen by coincidence, but that any variation thereof could feasibly exist.

The truth of it is that each of these possible worlds does exist, but on alternate planes or dimensions. This world, Agarthia as she calls it [OOC Note: this is a reference to "Agartha"], is not one of these possible worlds as it defies physical laws in its very existence. However, this world is the creation of the controller of one possible world -- a familiar one to many of us -- a dollhouse for her to play with, to observe as if we are bugs in a glass ant farm.

She is all-knowing, and thus draws information from all possible worlds into this one. The world frequently changes because it must constantly assume bits and pieces of all possible worlds -- an infeasible task since there are an infinite number of possible worlds.

That all being said, the creator made this world and naturally wanted to populate it. Her own creations -- Rasaki and her kind -- were shells of people with little need for human necessities. In short, they bored her. However, the creator could not simply make humans. Even her powers do not extend that far, at least without the process of evolution taking its course and she didn't want to wait that long.

So, instead she drew people in. In fact, she only needed to draw in a few to set things in motion. This world feeds on imagination and willpower. The thoughts and feelings of its inhabitants brought others into the world after them -- loved ones, friends, family, or in some cases a certain kind of person or a person that would set about a certain desirable result or chain of events. The creator herself brought only the original thirteen -- Sasarai, Yun, Fenimore, Shinjiro, Akihiko, Jay, Walter, Grell, Dahlia, Ashe, Takaya, Chidori, and Jin. The rest came at the inhabitants' own will.

Now, as for the creator's identity...her name is Eurynome [OOC Note: called the Goddess of All Things...blame my Piper's Inferno research ;;]. She is a goddess that watches over all possible worlds, but has certain authority over one in particular. Likewise, there are other watchers and creators but they hold no importance in this situation, so let's not get ahead of ourselves.

My own role in this place is to simply watch. I am a disciple of a Eurynome and her fellow watchers. I was created to improve humankind. Humans that exist without death also exist without fear. With no fear there are no limits on what is physically possible, meaning there is no discretion. I was created to make humans appreciate what was given to them and glue their existence to borrowed time. With death comes fear, but also motivation, aspirations, dreams. The urgency to complete their desires within their short lives becomes paramount. All in all, people without death are despicable creatures. Thus, I was created and have served all possible worlds since.

As I said, I have been placed on this world to watch. Eurynome does not have a physical body and cannot communicate with mortals. I can. So, I do her dirty work. Like always. What is her dirty work, you ask? She wants me to exacerbate situations, fuel fights and romances and ignite passion...with the exception that things don't get out of hand. It's a vague thing, really...but that's because its only purpose is to entertain her. Do I mind? Not especially. She lets me do what I want to for the most part and as with her, it also entertains me.

So...she lets me lie and take the forms of others' bodies for mischief's sake all because it gives her a laugh or two. Hate to break it to you, but that's how every possible world really functions. Some watchers have more interest in progress and fruitfulness but most are just in it for the laughs. And so! That's the gist of things. If there's anything I forgot about, feel free to ask.

Oh? You mean how I can't tell any of this to anyone? Ah, that... that's because the people here could easily use the information to their advantage. Think about it: this world gives limitless power to those who can acknowledge and harness it. Someone who knows of their full capabilities here could summon whoever and whatever they wanted, kill whoever they wanted and just generally wreak havoc and chaos. Eurynome doesn't want that. She's seen everything. She's seen war and poverty and famine and everything in between. She's sick of that stuff. The only entertainment she wants is entertainment that is unique to the people involved -- human interaction. So, if I told everyone about this stuff, it wouldn't be long before her entertainment went up in a cloud of smoke. She would have to start all over again, and well, that'd be a big pain. Plus, she's sort of fond of you guys. And that's that. No one can know, because if they did, anything could happen.
