[Video/Action]IC Intro - A Instructor arrives after having the second best day of her life

[peachhat]

[Video Segment]
[The screen showed someone that hadn't been around a bit, that was for sure. A woman, with very long, blue hair, who was wearing an odd hat. With peaches.

More noticeable than her clothing was the fact that she was visibly beaten up. Dust, bruises, some blood, scratches, she clearly had been through quite some fighting, though she was somehow radiating a smug satisfaction that didn't fit the state of her body at all.]

Hello! I've been away for a bit, doing the usual here and there, so for those who don't know me, I'm Instructor Tenshi Hinanai.

I'll be teaching Geography and, of course, the highest level of magical combat. Don't worry, I'll make sure that even you ordinary, earth-crawling humans can have some chance of passing.

[She nodded, brushing back some of her hair, then smiled at the camera]

That said, we have a nice island here, don't we? Reminds me a lot of home - the islands in actual heaven. But I suppose Islands closest to heaven are pretty good, too, although they got nothing on the real thing, of course. I look forward to returning tomorrow!

[Evidently, this instructor had not deemed it necessary to make herself presentable for the introduction. Just one more sign that her priorities were completely and utterly screwed up beyond help.]



[ACTION Segment]

[Of course, Tenshi could also be encountered in the garden, while she was looking at the place to check if everything was how it used to be. She had been away on a long-ish mission, after all, so who knew what changed? Like above, she likely still hadn't changed.

Particularly lazy-seeming students might find her throwing a head-sized rock at their feet.
And teachers/seeds too, 'to test their reflexes'...]

Sounds to be like you just admitted you want not to be rude by overpowering an opponent. Oh, you want to win this little debate, don't you?

[peachhat]

Well, of course I want that, but... that's only because not doing so would not be proper! Leisure and comfort are the ruin of reputation!

[gotgreedy]

Sounds to me like you want to promote reputation over leisure and comfort. And you want to do things properly. Greedy, greedy, wanting so many things!

[peachhat]

I don't care for my reputation, it's the one of others I am totally worried about!
It's absolutely not greedy, I reject greed! If you want to find joy in life you should cherish the rejection of greed! Even the old Zho commentary said so!

[gotgreedy]

Want, want, want. All I hear you saying is what you want! Take some pride in it! Admit who you are! You want things, and you're proud to want things, because the things you want define you!

[peachhat]

No, it's not wanting things that define me! I don't want a lazy life of pleasure, with the best food always at my fingertips and unimaginable wealth all around me, I rejected that, you know! I could have had that, living in paradise and all!

[Sadly, from her perspective, that wasn't even a lie. It's true she wanted excitement though. Nobody was entirely without wants...well, except all the saints. But those were boring.]

[gotgreedy]

Not everyone's cut out to want everything. Some of us are a special case. But if you don't want something, it's because you want something else. Why'd you leave paradise if it was so great? Because you wanted something. Tell me I'm wrong!

[peachhat]

Well, you are wrong. We celestials descend to the world of the earthcrawling mortals to give advice, but you never understand it!

[No, Tenshi, that only was true for all the other celestials.]

[gotgreedy]

So you want to give mortals advice so badly you'd give up heaven?

Not sure you're arguing your point well.

[peachhat]

No, I mean, I could have gone back, giving advice is just what we do!

[She really wasn't doing well, she realized that herself.]

Look, at the end of the day the true reasoning is simply beyond your comprehension, I'm very, truly sorry about that!

[gotgreedy]

Saying the reasoning's beyond my comprehension is just a dodge. You'll be happier if you admit you're a little greedy! There's nothing wrong with it. It's normal. Not just a human thing, either.

[peachhat]

If there is a tiny shred of greed in a celestial, it'd be something they'd actively push out though, so they'd not be happier, the most happy would be having no greed at all, you know?

It's normal for earth-bound ones who aren't enlightened yet, that is all!

[gotgreedy]

The most happy? You'd be happy if you didn't want anything? Pretty sure you just told me you had that life in heaven and gave it up because it wasn't satisfying you.

[peachhat]

No, I more came down and ignored it because it didn't interest me. You need to listen more to what I say, you greedy sod!

[gotgreedy]

So you wanted to get away from what didn't interest you, find something that did?

[It's all too much for Greed. With a hand to his forehead, he starts laughing.]

I like you, girl.

[peachhat]

I suppose you could say-

[Him liking her wasn't the point in the first place - the whole point was creating dislike! Such a weird, weird man.

...Thought the weirdo celestial. ]

While I do hear that sometimes, it's not the usual mortal reaction...

[gotgreedy]

I'm not a usual mortal. I'm a human-based homunculus.

[peachhat]

I don't know what a humunculussus is, but it probably really isn't much more than a human. At least from my point of view.

[gotgreedy]

Artificial human. In my case, an artificial human inhabiting a human body. My last incarnation had a body to go along with it, but this is the new upgraded model.

[peachhat]

Oooh, I see. So you're like a puppet, just bigger. Or smaller, depending on the puppet. A lot smaller than some I saw.

[Alice did have some rather huge puppets. Rather lifelike ones, in some cases!]

[gotgreedy]

Think that all you want, but I've got plenty of human souls in here.

[peachhat]

I've sent plenty of souls ahead to the afterlife once, probably way more than you supposedly got, so I'm not impressed at all!

[Tenshi sounded proud of that one, sadly. And even more sadly, despite how she made it sound, she wasn't talking about murder, just purifying ghosts, making them jump over purgatory a bit.

While she did realize the possible implications of him having souls in himself of several humans, she hadn't immediately taken it as soul-stealing or the like.]

[gotgreedy]

Nice to see someone finally not freaking the hell out about it! So, if it's impressed you want, how about we find a quiet place and I turn on the charm?

[peachhat]

What kind of charm are we talking about here?

[gotgreedy]

I was thinking the usual, why? Another kind rock your boat a little more?
