Genius: The Transgression/Characters: Difference between revisions

{{quote| ''I am [[Ludicrous Precision|nanometers from perfection]] and [[Ubermensch|no longer answer to any mortal authority]]. They weren't there for me and I won't waste time helping them as I rise asymptotically toward the ultimate virtue. Every corpse I leave should be one less investigation to make, instead of one more open case. But I'm not here for human justice any more. When you see [[Stuff Blowing Up|the Paolenti penthouse burn with white fire]] [[Reptiles Are Abhorrent|and the dreams of serpents,]] you'll know that, and so will every other man-mask-wearing machine-demon in this city. They'll never love me for the things I've done, but I never asked for love. Only for perfection.''}}

{{quote| ''You've seen it on the billboards and the trash-strewn alleys, amidst the halls of the powerful and in the tenements of the desperate: the Change. It's coming, and soon everything will be different. Our world will transform itself―in fire, if necessary, in blood, certainly―and be reborn, fresh and new, to gaze out on the universe with innocent and wondering eyes. And I am the herald of that Change. So forgive me if I cannot hear your words or your screams. They are too small. [[Humans Are Cthulhu|Do you hear the mayflies screaming tonight? Neither do I.]]''}}

{{quote| ''When I was in high school my teacher told me that there are more people alive today than have ever lived. Don't worry: she lied, then got cancer. (Not my fault.) We live atop a mountain of corpses. The Earth is swimming in humans, above and below the ground, so when I see you trying to raise the dead, I'm torn. On the one hand, I recognize your despair. On the other hand, [[Only Sane Man|do you really want to spend the rest of the week fending off a]] [[Zombie Apocalypse]] as the Earth vomits up her dead? [[Noodle Incident|AGAIN?]] Come on, man, think this through: every time you try this, we end up fighting zombies. I hate zombies. Just put the syringe down.''}}

{{quote| ''First let me tell you that human beings without mathematical souls are transparent to God and thus mean nothing to Him. So you ask, why does God (who is the Equation) care about window-souls? He doesn't, but the Devil, whom I define as our negative thoughts, does, and directs window-soul humans at us to destroy us. These humans think they think and feel, but they are without the highest Number and their feelings are only our self-doubt. Destroy your self-doubt, be free of their hatred. [[Murder Is the Best Solution|Or destroy them, and be free of your self-doubt]]. Vengeance is time- and space-symmetrical, like any good equation.''}}

{{quote| ''I'm afraid I don't see things like you do. I mean it: I'm afraid. What if the things I find beautiful [[Go Mad From the Revelation|drive you mad?]] What if they hollow you out like clever little squirrels getting nuts for the winter, except [[Eye Scream|the nuts are your eyes,]] and winter is, [[Metaphorgotten|I don't know, maybe]] [[The End of the World as We Know It|the Rapture]] [[Metaphorgotten|or something?]] And [[Dissonant Serenity|I'm just smiling while your face gets ripped apart]] because I think it's beautiful? These things worry me sometimes, when I'm not looking at the night sky. [[Cloudcuckoolander|So I spend a lot of time looking at the night sky, and not looking at your face and thinking about squirrels.]]''}}

{{quote| ''Good, fast, and cheap: you get all three. And if you talk like that to my people again, you're going to wake up as a collection of spare parts.''}}

{{quote| ''Like even the strongest iron bar, every man has a weak point, and it can be found.''}}

{{quote| ''I've seen things you wouldn't believe. Hell, I've seen things ''I'' don't believe.''}}

{{quote| ''It'll work this time, I promise. It won't hurt anyone.''}}

{{quote| ''If it's true, someone wrote it down, even if just to refute it.''}}

{{quote| ''There was so much potential. So much promise. So much that failed us, all those years ago. But not this time.''}}

{{quote| ''Now if you look here, you'll see that this is how things really work. Actually, really, positively work. But ignore that, that part is still being corrected.''}}

{{quote| ''We're all just cogs in the Great Machine. Whatever we think we choose was actually predestined, part of the process. Part of the Plan.''}}

{{quote| ''No. No. This is absolutely wrong. Look, just let me fix it. All of it.''}}

{{quote| ''Hmm. That's an interesting point, but is there really any kind of absolute truth out there? Anything that is immutable?''}}

{{quote| ''[[Disproportionate Retribution|p4Wn All]] [[Leet Lingo|T3H]] [[Eternal September|N00b2]]''}}

{{quote| St. Croix is a bitter, tired woman, touched by sadness at the disappointments in her life. While insane and, when the mood takes her, tremendously cruel, hers is the small, weak kind of human cruelty [[Invoked Trope|that encourages as much pity as loathing.]] }}
