(Heaven's BBS)

From: Ciel Phantomhive (Asteria)
Date: September 7th

I have neglected to announce my presence in this manner and I am perhaps overdue. I am Ciel Phantomhive and I have discovered that I am filling in for the Grecian goddess Asteria. (An ironic choice for reasons he will never tell.) She is the Titan goddess of falling stars and nighttime divinations (such as oneiromancy (by dreams) and astrology (by stars)). She is also the mother of Hekate, goddess of witchcraft.

Are there any others who hail from the year 1889?

I've heard us being gods, 'leaders' not so much. But I guess that fits well from a follower point of view.

[ And since it's introductions times it's only right to respond in the same fashion. Although he uses his moniker instead of name ]

I go by Caster around here. No idea if you'll find someone from that specific year but I can at least confirm there are few of us from different times here.

With your calendar... I think it's somewhere in the 1st century BC? Or was it AD, huh. [ If he paid attention what Romans were doing back then he could probably nail it better. But who cares about Romans ]

And I guess some gods could be seen as leaders. But most were busy taking care of their own godly stuff - their own wars, their own goals. If they started paying attention to a mortal that is where troubles started.

Good and pure are terms that have a different definition, depending on where you are! [ "When" too ]

Maybe humans are so varied because they follow different gods? That's a food for thought. [ Every mythology seems to have a different origin story on how humans appeared first in this world. And since the morality of the gods also different from one pantheon to another, it's just taking Ciel's suggestion to a logical conclusion. ]

[ Education get! This is a guy who can call dude a friend, and then murder him on the same breath- probably not the best morality example... which is shown by the fact that he chuckles at the question ]

Oh, our gods slaughtered each other so much that I doubt they'd bother with assuming a moral high-ground about act of killing.

[ Fomorians and Tuatha Dé Danann were always at each other throats ]

It was more about a "law", than "religion", you know? If you went and murdered your kin, that was the surest way to get yourself exiled, and then anyone was free to put your head on a pike. But people die all the time, and there were much worse offenses than just taking a life.

Betrayal. [ Those were simpler times, really ] Oaths were sacred, so was hospitality. If you killed someone in a drunken brawl, eh you could pay that up, make sure to take care of his kids if he had any and so on.

[ Accidents happen. Sometimes those are not accidents, and maybe you just hated each other and decided to deal with it like good adults - prove yourself in a duel. Endless possibilities there ]

But if you broke your promise, or attacked someone under a friendly roof, you were as good as worthless.

Wow, you sure told me, boy! [ Caster is well aware he's a product of his times, so he just this laughs it off. ]

But that's the thing, people are gone too quickly, so it's better to enjoy time with them to your fullest while they're still here. [ Grieve when they're gone, never forget them, but what else is there? If he hated every war, every order that took them away, he'd go insane. ]

Eh, I was younger than you when I first picked up arms. [ He probably didn't take human life at the same age as Ciel though, but he can't know that. Still, kids who lost someone, kids who've seen how cruel world is, he knew a lot of kids like that. Today they would be called children that had to mature too quickly ]

You asked the question, I've answered it. If it was too straightforward than it's because you don't seem like a naive and sheltered kid that couldn't handle it. But if I scared ya, that wasn't my intention, sorry. [ Genuine apology, no patronizing intended. ]

[ Oh boy, this kid just plainly speaks about eliminating enemies, right after pulling the "innocent kid" card. ]

So, a tactician. King Conchobar used to say we needed more of those. [ But instead he got stuck with a rowdy bunch of Red Branch Knights. ]

You've got enemies already at this age?

The name must be important if it attracts that much attention. [ As if names aren't always important. But some do carry more weight around than the others. ]

You might find your life here more peaceful. [ Keyword: might ]

Depends on what you consider as “quiet”. We’re outsiders here, but I haven’t yet seen much of strife between us. [ Again, the “yet” is the keyword again - he hasn’t been here for long ]

If you enjoy a hunt, that’s how can you treat the ayakashi, and the prayers are… well, probably depends on who decides to call your name.
