Yup. We're called Exorcists, but we're not the traditional kind? We "exorcise" souls, but only those trapped in Akuma.
[the taste of sweetness is cloying on his tongue, but he doesn't let it distract him as he chatters on,]
Akuma are killing machines that can only be destroyed by Innocence, which is something only Exorcists can use. So we're basically soldiers, wielding weapons against monsters in order to protect humanity.
The Millennium Earl approaches a grieving human by offering to bring their loved one back to life. All he needs is them to call out their name, in order to summon their soul back. Which it does, except it gets trapped in the Akuma machine instead.
That's atrocious to prey on the grieving and to used their dearly departed like that. That's unforgivable. Are the Exorcists close to defeating him or has it been a long and drawn out war?
[i napped for too long.... seeing Four's disgust does remind Lavi of the stakes -- he's mentioned the war to a couple of people, but always in sort of vague terms, or to types who've apparently seen it all (we're looking at you scara).
Lavi points at her at the second part,]
Long and drawn out, for thousands of years even. We're the only ones who can use Innocence, which is the only material in our world that can destroy Akuma.
[without his mcslooshies, he's free to link his hands behind his head]
But we're still human and easy enough to kill. And even the strongest of us can't fight the Earl one on one for long.
Definitely seems that way, especially to regular guy like me. He's made it clear that he's no longer gonna hide in the shadows. He wants the war to end, and he wants to win it.
It may be a bit too soon for that, but we're all dead. I mean, it is unfortunate that we cannot include him now, but we also shouldn't stop trying to help ourselves.
