[Sesshoumaru is an intelligent being, and despite the lack of advanced technology in his time, he has been able to figure out how the strange tablet he had been given worked--merely by observing others using theirs.

With a reluctant respect for the humans who created this item, the Demon Lord activates the video feed, giving everyone a good look at his scowling visage. He's not one to make long speeches, but he's about to make one thing perfectly clear.]

I am not your ally. I will not fight for you, or with you.

[His eyes narrow dangerously.]

I do not care about this war. It was started by humans; it can be finished by humans. You created this problem, do not expect me to help you resolve it.

[He is silent for a moment, before making a dismissive-sounding "Hmph" and shutting off the feed.]

I always wonder why people bother telling us...

My message is for all who would approach me for battle.

[payback]

You expect there to be a lot?

[protects_no_one]

I am expecting there to be none as of now.

[payback]

Okay.

[protects_no_one]

Your answer is an odd response. You do not fight?

voice forever

[payback]

I do, but I don't know who you are, or what you can do. Which I bet is the same for most people here. So your refusing to fight in publiclike this just attracts more attention.

I am not human. That is enough of an explanation.

[payback]

Not really.

[protects_no_one]

So, it is expected that those who are not human clean up the messes made by humans?

This is a human problem. They should be the ones to solve it.

[payback]

If nonhumans were calling on me in this situation and they wanted my help, I think I'd be willing to help them.

[protects_no_one]

You would be willing to help those responsible for the destruction of your world?

[payback]

I was under the impression that the other side was already at it, if these guys are to be believed. In which case they're still not responsible for the destruction of my world. The other side is.

[protects_no_one]

You cannot believe that in a war only one side has suffered.

[payback]

Not really, I guess? But this is the side I'll go for.

[protects_no_one]

The lesser of two evils?

[A human phrase, but one that seems appropriate.]

[payback]

I guess you could put it like that.

[protects_no_one]

That thought had not occurred to you? Or was it the promise of being returned home that persuaded you?

[payback]

Not so much. I wouldn't call them evil. Just desperate.

[protects_no_one]

[He's silent for a moment.]

I do not disagree with you. However, desperation can lead to a downfall if not reined in.

[payback]

There might be some changes that should be made around here but I'm not going to remove myself from... doing stuff.

[protects_no_one]

I see no reason to fight in a war not of my choosing or making.

[payback]

Since you were never fighting with us in the first place, I don't think too many people will actually miss your participation.

[protects_no_one]

That is my wish.

[Because then he can do what he wants to do in peace.]

[payback]

Congratulations, I guess? Wish granted.
