[Relationships] NightEyes >> Incantation Samurai
MOAR SPOILERS FOR SPECTRES [INSERT OBLIGATORY READ AT YOUR OWN RISK THING HERE] (NOT FINISHED YET)
Initially, it began as a kind of fuck-buddy relationship. To quote Seeking Solace:
So, what can you do in a jail?
1) Wank off/have sex
2) Talk to the other bastard in the cell.
3)Brood Go insane
Obviously, they both chose option 1. B-but you know, you can't have sex all the time, you get tired. So gradually, there was talk, initially after sex, but gradually came to be something else they did when they really couldn't be fucked fucking. Going insane was not an option, because both of them had things they wanted to do. But both of them did lose their minds, in the end, really.
Incantation eventually opens up to Night about why he's here, his ideals and such. Incantation feels great injustice was done to 'his people' (the samurais) when their 'class' was suddenly dissolved under a new ruler (haven't done the research needed for specifics of this) to be integrated into normal, everyday society. Incantation (iunno how many followers) viewed this as a great betrayal of trust. Incantation never talks about how he became the way he is, nor of how he possessed the Amatsu prince(?), and Night never asks. Incantation wants to get back at the people who betrayed him (which is mainly the Amatsu royal family or whatever they had).
Petty revenge, perhaps, it seems in the end.
Night doesn't say much to Incantation other than constant recollections of his times with Adrianna. Oddly enough, it somehow doesn't get through to his head that he's broken his promise to Adrianna. Out of sight, out of mind. That's how it usually goes with Night.
Night kind of sort of understands that Incantation's yearning for revenge is his sole reason for 'living', just as his own yearning for Adrianna is his reason for living. However, Night doesn't understand the concept of revenge or betrayal, and hence doesn't empathise with Incantation. He can't agree with Incantation's views, and Incantation can't agree with Night's views/comments on his ideals. That, plus the fact Incantation killed Night and he's still pissy about that puts them at odds with each other.
[la la la something about when Lise steps into the picture]
They are not friends. They are merely fuck-buddies and partners in (rape-murder) crime and sort-of enemies who, over centuries of having no one else, grow attached to each other, Incantation more so to Night than the reverse.
Which is why when Night finally turns against him, Incantation views it as a betrayal. But Night doesn't, not really, because he had trouble holding onto memories, and hence simplifies the things around him. Night generally tends to thinks of Incantation as a decent guy for a fuck and for relieving boredom.
Because of the centuries of companionship, Incantation views Night as 'his', so he'll be damned that he'll let Lise kill Night permanently with a Magnus Exorcismus (however you spell it). What the hell would he do during the times there wasn't anyone around in the Maze? Hence, when he killed Night, what he was actually doing was saving him (since he took the pains to tell Night that Lise was trying to kill them both), albeit in such a way that Night wouldn't realise it, because he didn't want Night to know. Because uh, saving people implies you're attached to them, and he doesn't want Night to think he's getting soft. The tactic also had the added advantage of turning Night against Lise \o/
Which kind of backfired.
Night turned against Incantation because when he found out it's been centuries since he was first killed, he realised the causes they were living for were long gone. Their lives were pointless and empty and boring and Night at this point really wanted to die. But he'll be damned if he dies without Incantation. The feeling's somewhat mixed, because killing Incantation would be doing the samurai a favour as well as Night's way of getting back at the FUCKER WHO KILLED HIM D<
[blah blah more here which was in my notes]
Dammit i need to find my notes on these two.Then the brat started moping and complaining about how he wasn’t getting any and how it was his fault and he had better make up for it, and for some strange reason, he decided he would.However, both of them are trapped in the Tatami Maze, which is the equivalent of being stuck in jail as jail buddies. There's only two of them, really, since all the other beings there aren't sentient, and even though the Tatami Maze is bigger and better decorated than a jail, it doesn't change the fact they are confined to a place they don't want to be in.
So, what can you do in a jail?
1) Wank off/have sex
2) Talk to the other bastard in the cell.
3)
