*Meg wanders downstairs and into the bar, coffee mug in hand and tutu around her waist. And everyone subsequently dies of shock.*

Talking with Anthy, *Meg says, with a small snort,* gives that effect, from time to time.

I guess she got you upstairs all right, and all?

"I remember that much, yes." She nods, then sighs and rests her head on her arms. "Eh. We were all talking about... she was asking about Ragnarok, things like that."

*Meg's eyes widen in sudden comprehension.*

The End of the World -

"Well... yes." She nods at Meg, looking at her curiously.

That's sort of important to Anthy, *Meg explains, rather awkwardly.*

"... Why? She was asking about it...what the signs were, and so on."

*Meg hesitates.*

I don't know, exactly. But I think it has something to do with her curse, and all.

"... the sword in her, yes?" She peers at Meg.

That, and the whole immortal slave thing . . .

Svava frowns faintly. "... How does that go?"

*Meg grins, without much humor.* Well, she has to do what whoever wins the duels says, and she can't die . . .

"Whoever duels with her sword?" A nod, and she frowns faintly.

"The sword, its... something special, isn't it?"

It's an ex-person, *Meg says bluntly.* I think.

Svava just staaaaaaaaaaaaares at Meg for a while.

"... how? er. Its not her own soul, or a piece of it?"

I think it's someone else's, *Meg says, biting her lip.* Her brother's, is what I've heard.

More staring.

"Who's her brother? He's... is he alive elsewhere?"

*Meg shakes her head.*

His name is - was -

Er. I don't remember it but it sounded sort of like God.

".... like just a name, or he is really...??"

The name sounded sort of like God.

*Meg shrugs, helplessly.* As for the rest - who knows?

"But he... or He... is a god, or... That would mean His sister.."

She said she wasn't human.

I dunno what that means, though.

"There's a great many people that aren't human, Meg." She mutters finally.

"And there are different sorts of immortality, and different sorts of gods."

I know.

*Meg nods.* It's dangerous to judge people on the basis of what they can be labelled. I try not to, generally.

"True enough." A faint smile and nod to the ballerina.

"I just meant that... differences sometimes come into effect on things."

People, *Meg says quietly,* are still people.

Human or not.
