To those of you who have lived for more than a century --

What is the purpose of a father or creator?

Father: to raise, love, and prepare his children.

Creator: to light a match.

[ He thinks little of the first answer, but the second piques his interest. ]

To what end is a spark given life?

[paterelohim]

To see what it does with it.

I...

[The Angelus should speak for herself, but Dani only has this vague idea of almost bitterness and nothing more. Which is...strange, considering she's had good experiences with her own father.]

A creator exists to begin things, I guess. And a father to nurture and raise.

[theosen]

[ Bitterness. It's something he's lived with for many years, the sting of rejection and abandonment that never saw an end. He despises these creatures called humans -- his own children, flawed and broken as they are.

Those in the city are not of his making, of course (save for a select few), but still their presence rankles. ]

Is there a reason to nurture and raise that which despises instruction?

[greedyful]

This is a trick question right?

[theosen]

Answer it how you choose.

[dilemma]

There is none. Be alive a century, you realize that.

[ He's pretty jaded on the topic. ]

[theosen]

[ Not to worry, Damon. "Jaded" is practically this fellow's middle name. ]

Time reveals truths that would otherwise be denied.

Are beginnings so hateful to you?

Ego.

Is that all?

There is no purpose. There's duty. A father's duty is to take responsibility for the family he's created, to protect them and teach them and provide for their welfare.

Some uphold their duty. Some don't. That's all that matters.

Strong convictions.

How often have you seen them negated?

THIS ISN'T A COMMENT IT'S A WASTE OF SPACE

[ Always. ]

To make something better than they are. And if we are lucky, they both leave them alone and do not attempt to use them in their insipid machinations.

[theosen]

[ He nearly scoffs at the answer. Something "better" indeed. ]

And when the creation is inferior?

[returnsmagic]

To ask the purpose of a father is to ask the purpose of the child and creation.

[theosen]

Does the question merit an answer?

[where_the_hearth_is]

[gently]

You're confounding your variables.

[audio]

[theosen]

In what way?

[longaevus]

Creators - and parents - give life, teach you, help you to grow and shape you. There isn't just one 'purpose'.

[theosen]

[ Such an idealistic vision. ]

And when there is?

[voice]

[faustianism]

Do people find their own purpose, or are they given a purpose at the start?

[voice]

[theosen]

A question to answer a question.

[ He sounds amused more than anything. ]

Therein lies the answer.
