Amethyst walked up the western alleyway. The turrets were making her nervous, they were completely conventional technology. Without a thorough analysis, she couldn't detect anything more than the presence of a functional gun, and thermal sensors. Even if she determined the exact process, she wasn't actually sure of her own state. Her body was radioactive, but it was a magical energy, would that affect the sensors? She couldn't say for sure.
She reached what seemed to be some sort of town square, noting the courthouse to be more clean looking. She could also make out Eximo beginning to leave.
"Excuse me, Vacuum cleaner."
Eximo stopped, turning around slightly. Amethyst motioned towards the courthouse.
"Has the cleansing for this structure been completed?"
"Preliminary cleansing has. The remainder of the area has been judged to be of higher priority. Return to this structure has been scheduled following the preliminary cleansing of the remainder of the town. Use of this structure for the time being will not interfere with the cleansing."
Amethyst nodded, and began to walk inside. However she was stopped, as Eximo continued.
"In the future, please refer to this unit as 'Eximo Pulvis'."
"Will 'Eximo' be sufficient?"
"It will. Thank you, have a nice day. Hail Konka Rar!"
Reciting its parting words, the vacuum moved on. Amethyst smiled, she wasn't sure why, but she was beginning to hold a sort of strange respect for the vacuum. Perhaps it was a symbol of how dark magic had been used for such peaceful purposes. In truth, she had never seen any form of nondestructive magic.
The inside of the courthouse sparkled. Everything was in complete order, as though any second, a judge would enter, and decide the fate of another human.
But no human stood within the courthouse.
"I have in the past sacrificed my humanity. Because of this, I have given up all rights granted to 'humans' by the legal system. In that sense I am without rights. The humans of my world have chosen to view me as a peer, and return to me those rights. However, I am no longer in my world, and among few humans. Therefore this courthouse is no longer a place where I may be with peers. I am... below human."
"Kahaha! Is that really what goes through your little head?! That's almost as twisted as me! But not in nearly as awesome a way."
Silhouetted against a large stained glass window, was at first glance, an angel. But it was more gruesome than that, its flesh torn and decayed, its wings mere skeletons, and its right arm some twisted mass of bone. Lutherion leapt down, and faced Amethyst.
"Just to make it clear little girl, if you're 'below human,' you're down there with the worms in the dirt."
Amethyst remained calm and expressionless.
"Fitting, it is us worms who decay dead men such as yourself."
"WAhahah! What happened to 'Among the living, therefore alive'?!"
"I am merely continuing your metaphor, in actuality the life or death status of Lutherion is irrelevant. You are nothing more than his shadow, somehow animated by his broken magical legacy."
"OOOOOH?! And just how do you get off saying that?! You don't know a thing about me!"
Amethyst grinned slightly.
"Nathan has informed me I should attempt more simple speech patterns. I suppose, to say it as I believe I would have some time ago..."
She raised her arms, three crystals raised behind her, bursting into flames, lightning, and a strange green light, pointing at Lutherion.
Amethyst spoke in a tone almost mocking her original, a kind of twisted monotone arrogant teenager.
"I am simply fucking with you. Now please die you sick bastard."
