[The feed comes on to Mukuro's room which is extremely dark, only a few rays of light make it through the shades on the window. There's the sound of a scuffle and Mukuro seems FAR from pleased about what's going on, even uncharacteristically raising his voice in rage as he appears to be fighting someone off him. Suddenly there's a small purple flame engulfing his right eye illuminating part of his face with it's unnatural glow. In mere moments after there's a sickening squelching noise followed by a snap and Mukuro's opponent falls to the floor. Mukuro steps onto the figures chest and squats down]

Kufufu, well, well, well. Here's a face I never thought I would have the pleasure of seeing again.

[The body he's perched on squirms and tries to let out a scream- that Mukuro has done something to muffle]

shhhhhh, come now? Isn' t it "an honor to die as part of the development"? That's what you told us. I suppose I am all that's left of the 'development' though... at least here. Isn't that a shame? I suppose we should make you part of the development now...

[And Mukuro reaches down]

After all, I'm sure you're familiar with the saying... an eye for an eye....

[And the feed cuts off just as the unknown person lets out a blood curdling scream. To those who arrive on the scene they will find Mukuro casually walking out of his room in his pajamas which are slathered in blood. He's got a little bloody mass in his right hand and half of his trident's staff in the other . There are a few cuts around his right eye as well. In his room lies the body of this man with half of Mukuro's trident lodged in his torso, and a lacking his right eye. ]

((OOC: This is a VERY bad time to taunt him if you value you mind/eyes/life. 8Db))

The right path? I waited for ten years. How much longer were we supposed to hold out?

[He chuckles and lets himself slide down the door. Slowly calming himself down to something that could be looked at as stable, though he was still very much on edge]

Do you know what would have happened if I hadn't killed them when I did? They would have removed my eye and mass produced it as a weapon. Meanwhile myself and the other two boys would have would have gone back to being lab rats until we perished and a new batch of children took our place. Tell me, my noble friend, how many more of us were to die until justice took action?

[Mikami sees where Mukuro is coming from and he dislikes it. He has a hard time imagining the situation though, it's far away from his reality which was already cruel enough. But even the situation of enduring things holding out and almost losing faith is something he can faintly relate to. Mikami pushes the thought aside completely, it was a silly thing to dwell on.

But even returning to the subject, Mikami doesn't have an answer. That wasn't his world, it was a world without God and for once Mikami wonders about other worlds and justice. How many people were suffering?]

There is divine punishment for every evil action.

[That's the truth he'd grown up with and held on to after all. But did it apply to other universes?
Only thinking about it gives Mikami the headtache that had never quite left him ever since arriving here]

[He lets out a dry cackle.]

I believe it was Epicurus who said, "Is God is willing to prevent evil but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he nor neither able nor willing? Then why call him god."

[He glared forward at the wall while he spoke, not looking at the blackberry at all until he was finished, then he glanced down at Mikami with his trademark little grin on his face]

I believe in such a situation as mine, it becomes my job, as one who has been blessed to experience the afterlife six times, to become the divine punishment. I was blessed with a gift after all, and have been through all six paths of reincarnation. If there are no gods willing to do the work, then I will.

[Mikami is a man who believes that God's are decided by the actions they take rather than the power they hold. But Mukuro couldn't be a God, the way he talked to the man earlier was proof enough. A God should not hold a desire to take revenge cruelly.
Somehow this knowledge calms Mikami down, even though this whole conversation is still making him nervous.
Every single word Mukuro had said hit a nerve inside of him, but Mikami pushes it aside like he pushes everything aside. Letting this affect him would be foolish]

I see where your reasoning comes from, but you might understand that I can't just accept your words like this. You're right stating I don't know about your situation, I act and think based on the morals of my world.
It's not righteous to bring death over somebody with your own hands.

Then let me be unrighteous. Let me go down in history as the world's most hated criminal.

[He smiles broadly, very much enjoying explaining his mission. His goals. The reason why he is his world's savior-to-be. It calmed him, reminded him of his purpose.]

Will it not be worth it if never again does a child have to endure what I did?

[Mikami knows that this is where he should stop talking to Mukuro already, turn off the Blackberry and never look at him ever again. But he still just stays where he is and keeps on talking to Mukuro. Even if it confuses him horribly and makes his head spin. World needed to be in order, chaos was scaring Mikami.]

That depends on the price the world has to pay for this to be achieved. Can you really effectively clean your world of evil by using cruel methods? It sounds unlikely.

Unlikely for most, but you forget, my trials have given me an invaluable gift. With my powers of influence I can bend the minds of the most influential people int the world.

[And with a big broad grin on his face he looks up to the ceiling, his expression almost peaceful as he thought about his first goal.]

My first goal will be the complete and utter termination of the mafia.

[It's a dangerous power... a very dangerous power Mukuro holds and Mikami is sure that one day he'll abuse it even more horribly than he already has. But the idea that Mukuro could change his world for the better this way is positive and intriguing.
A world without organized crime.. what a big step in the right direction that would be.]

That's a good goal.

[And Mikami means it. He's not ever close to trusting Mukuro or his methods, but it would be a really good thing to achieve.]

They were my beginning, it is only fair that I am their end.

[Finally falling back into his usual, less frazzled mindset he takes the time to look himself over. Ugh.... he was filthy and disgusting. He sighs and in a blink he's in a fresh set of clean clothes. He would go back and change properly later... if he went in now, he couldn't be sure he wouldn't crush that man's head under his boot. He did need to keep up his image after all.

He still needed to wash his hands though, so he starts casually strolling down the halls]

This is exactly what prevents me from believing in you. Even if your goal undoubtedly is a most desirable one, your ambitions are too personal.

[A God wouldn't fight for himself. A God would protect the world for the world's sake. Mukuro had this air of vengeance all around him and it sent chills down Mikami's spine.]

You're right, I do have a bit of a personal vendetta against the mafia. Which is why I need to be rid of them first. I need a clear objective head when purging the world of it's filth.

[He glides into the bathroom and turns the faucet on, placing the blackberry down so that he could wash his hands. Once he's finished he glances up at the mirror, then does a double-take. The cut under his eye grabbing his attention. An almost surgical cut in such a nostalgic area. There's a brief moment where the smile fades, and something close to a scowl takes over- but only for a moment. His face goes blank as he gingerly wipes the blood away. This was going to be an unpleasant week to put it politely.]
