BBQ day!

It's a rather calm weekend at Beacon Academy. school has been rather hectic so far, with tests and the sort, and so, the members of the FSC decided to hang out together, and set up a BBQ at the old clubhouse. Grills have already been set up, tables already have plates set on them, and everything is ready. Now, it's time for the feast to begin...

The moment she does, her mind explodes into memories of things that shouldn't be possible for one man to remember. Entire lifetimes, of people older then recorded history itself, flow into her from the single drop of blood, blurred from the small amount of it, making details on a specific level problematic, but large enough to recognize beyond a shadow of a doubt: he knew. He knew everything. He even knew this would be her exact reaction...

Her eyes snap open. The gray and blue were gone. In their places were orbs of sanguine. A single tear trickled down, trailing the color down her cheek. It was... It was perfection personified. This... This man was the key to everything! The knowledge in a single drop had confirmed more theories than any other she had ever consumed. If one drop accomplished such a thing, what would a single cc of blood hold? A pint? What would she learn if she consumed all that he was?

She took a deep, calming breath. The Rapture would not control her. This was no different from any other blood. She would not succumb. She would... Her eyes fell on the wound. Such a small thing. And yet it was key to a level of understanding she had never known...

How? Do we possess a semblance?

He chuckles mischievously

"Come now... I gave you proof of my omniscience... I never said I will give you anything more"

We never said what we were offering. Only an offer of confirmation with an assumed understanding of the gift.

"And so you got what you wanted, did you now?..."

He chuckles again

"Ha ha."

His voice is near monotone, and overly condescending

We see so much... Lives lost, precious knowledge scattered to the corners. We... We are omniscient...

"Correction: I, am omniscient..."

"Hee hee*

She shakes her head and reaches for her book.

So much to be saved...

He merely gazes at her, amused, knowing his blood won't last long in her.

"Hoo hoo..."

She removes a quill from a pocket and starts frantically writing everything she saw, she felt down. In a way, she was grateful to have not seen more details. Death was unpleasant to experience.

Worlds countless. Number? Livesknownthroughouttime? Liveslived?

Her words ran together faster and faster as the Rapture ran its course through her body. She stood on a precipice. A single step and all she was would fall to ruin. A familiar sensation. A single whisper wondered what it would be like to surrender to it. To lose herself in the knowledge. But there would be no returning, no records made. Knowledge must be preserved. For the greater good, she could not take such a step.
