Memory 2

[unrecumbent]

This struck me as completely hilarious in an OOC fashion when I read what Coyote picked, because the page in reference (here) is the page from which I got the icon that I used when talking to the animals in true Disney Princess fashion.

Anyway.

Memory: trivial neutral: convincing the cherubim.

Reactions/Knowledge:

• Wings! I has them. wtf.
• Wow the Silver City.
• Talking to spheres of light that a) sing b) answer back in emotions.
• But there are so many tangents. So many choices. So many possibilities open up once the sterility of perfection is renounced.
  
  • so the spherical things are meant to be perfect.
  • and apparently I was too, but then rejected that.
  • and the choice of one's own destiny is really a big deal for me. even winged me talking to singing balls of light
• This is all leading toward something, but that part is fuzzy. CHOICE IS IMPORTANT!!1!
• Most of the cherubim weren't interested in making choices.
• CHOICE IS IMPORTANT!!1!

In the scope of Lucifer's life experiences, this is pretty trivial. He didn't win over most of the cherubim with his concepts of choice and autonomy--they pretty much ignored him. He didn't consider this a big loss. However, in the context of Aather, this reinforces the idea that choice and free will are important and that just going along with things is not the way to live.

This will be interesting with regards to the Personae. He doesn't currently have a lot of respect for the Personae or for their situation on the whole, and his belief in the superiority of autonomy is lining him up for a smackdown. Right now he's doing what the Personae want because there's a reward in it for him that he has consistently been receiving. When that changes, as it inevitably will, he'll probably stop being good. As in canon, a smackdown will put him in the mind of playing a long game, and he'll fall back into line to work less obviously toward his own ends.
