So I was listening to the Seduce Me drama cd last night, and while listening to one of Matthew’s tracks I came up with an idea and.. well, this was the result ^_^
Angels in Seduce Me 2 aren’t evil. They’re Lawful Good while you’re Chaotic Neutral.
Me explaining angels to a friend.
A friend of mine got REALLY confused when I made angels antagonists in SM2 and made their powers seem ‘evil’, since I myself am Christian. I had to explain in great detail why this wasn’t the case.
Angels are not EVIL. They are righteous in their cause. They are the creations of goodness and light, given purpose to protect innocence. In their creation, they were not instructed to be merciful or kind; their purpose is to protect innocence and resolve issues that endanger that innocence.
They are Lawful Good in the spectrum of Law/Chaos/Good/Evil. They care not of the means, but they care of the end result.
However, weapons are weapons. The cross burn on skin is an action of punishment, injuring those who defy the angel’s word. Many would see this as horrid/evil, but to angels, this is a step towards resolving issues.
Antagonists are antagonists, but not every antagonist is evil.
Demons are typically Lawful or True Neutral. Demons who are evil like the Demon Lord and the imp demons spawn across the Evil spectrum (Lawful, True, and Chaotic)
Humans, however, typically range through all 9 spectrums (Lawful-True-Chaotic, Good-Neutral-Evil) depending on their actions and knowledge.
Mika, being a human who is in love with a demon, is deemed Chaotic Neutral. Unless you are a devout follower of Heaven, you are not Lawful Good by any means.
James, being a demon, is also Chaotic Neutral. He follows his own rules and is tainted by magic.
Maybe it the usual work drag of the past few weeks that had worn you down or the way James ran his fingers through your hair, but you couldn’t help dozing off, the summer sun beaming on you, the heat wrapping you in a warm blanket, all combined made you a sleepy mess.
Well, a would-be sleepy mess save for the continued shouting of Sam and Matthew playing in the ocean.
You could hear James mentally preparing a lecture the longer he looked at the water.
[[Sometimes being a demon is neat. Sometimes its a bad day. Today was just… weird.]]
Matthew laid across the back of the living room couch, tossing a ball at the ceiling and catching it. Sam had the TV on to NCIS, and was doing aggressive crunches on the floor. Restless, he’d said.
It was an odd day. None of the day’s events had been out of the ordinary, but the whole of the day’s existence in time had felt like a crooked picture. All of the brothers had felt it, but not Mika for some reason. She was out with the girls while the brothers…
Matthew glanced down at Sam. He had a deep sneer on his face as he sprung down and up, so perfectly furious that he couldn’t simply work-out the odd away. It made something in Matthew’s mind click into place, and he caught his ball.
As Sam came up on a crunch, Matthew chucked the ball at Sam’s head and nailed him right on the brow. Sam shouted, more startled than in pain, and quickly rolled onto his front.
Matthew beamed and rolled back off the couch, or he tried to. The couch was flat against the wall. No quick escape from this.
