Message: <blockquote data-quote="Strider_Koln" data-source="post: 4610459" data-attributes="member: 78265">Koln sighs, laying on his back on the floor after pocketing his small black journal. Just then his ear picks up Icarus, to which he turns and nods, silently whispering to him "I know too."  His mind begins to cloud again, the paranoia creeping over his sanity as an all-encompassing poisonous vapor. He can feel everything around him start to darken, and become scary again. That is until Ruby starts to hum. Koln's finger stops on Socrates as he looks up at Ruby from the floor. He closes his eyes as she hums. Soon he quietly mouths words along to it...  "Os iusti meditabitur sapientiamet lingua eius loquetur iudiciumbeatus vir qui suffert tentationemquoniam cum probatus fueritaccipiet coronam vitae Kyrie, ignis divine, eleisonOh quam sanctaquam serenaquam benignaquam amoenaOh castitatis lilium."  Koln's eyes open to Ruby looking down at him, "Oh, I'm sorry to interrupt, just that your lullaby was very nice. It reminded me of an old hymn I used to hear all the time when I was younger, a mere student in Rome. It reminded me of better times... thank you." Koln then sits up, gently placing Socrates on his shoulder. "A shower would be nice... it would help me sleep. By the way... are you happy being a vampire Ruby? Do you like what you're becoming? I ask not to judge, but more out of interest. I still believe that humans are a unique species in that they can move up and down the great chain of being at will. In acting with virtue they are like angels, but acting according to base desires they act as.. well animals. This theory isn't mine of course but rather of Pico de Mirandolla, but he's absolutely right. Still, am I wrong? Is there pleasure in abandoning the ceaseless pursuit of absolute virtue in favor of our more animal instincts? I'd figure you'd be the one to ask... I used to know the answer to that question, but I don't know anything anymore..." Translation, from Latin: The mouth of the just shall meditate wisdomAnd his tongue shall speak judgementBlessed the man who resists temptationFor when proved he shall receive the crown of lifeLord, Divine Fire, have mercyO how holy, how sereneHow benevolent, how comforting,O Lily of Chastity.  If anyone can name where I got this from without cheating, you will win a prize and become my new best friend! Oh and I hear everyone loud and clear, I'm hard at work at a nude of Koln as a fallen angel.... or catboy. Maybe a catboy with wings? Idk, it's coming though. Get ready fangirls! Oh, and a Socrates nude will follow!</blockquote>
