<p>why jupiter is silent</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>== Five Maidens ==<br /> <br /> rebeccaborgstrom - 11/07/2003 00:16:29<br /> <br /> The Maidens are probably functionally insane, simply by<br /> virtue of being what they are.<br /> <br /> I mean, the Unconquered Sun . . . being unconquerable and<br /> shiny and all is kind of warping, but mostly he's just a<br /> bigger-than-life person. Luna probably passes through phases<br /> where she's a person, too.<br /> <br /> Having the nature of the Maidens, though . . . that's got to<br /> warp you. In their nature they shine with every beauty in<br /> the world; every virtue; every perversity; and every element<br /> of just plain rotten bastardosity. They have to. It's their *job*.<br /> They smile when an ichneumon hunter lays its eggs.<br /> Such horror! They smile when it gets blasted by the Five<br /> Metal Shrike. Such justice!<br /> <br /> Venus purrs when she sees a happy couple get married, when<br /> they play under the sheets, and when the Guild carries them<br /> off in chains. Saturn stands officiant over the deaths of<br /> tyrants and the murder of saints, and you know what she has<br /> to care about most? Whether it happens *on the right day*.<br /> <br /> They're not even insane in the sense of 'they've lost it,<br /> and now the world is sucky.' They're insane because that's<br /> what makes them *good* at their job. :) If the scales ever<br /> fell from their eyes, Creation would rapidly get weirder<br /> than the Wyld.<br /> <br /> Rebecca</div>
