"As do I, young Evan. To be honest, I have been somewhat overstating the limits on my power, precisely because I want to only use my power when it is absolutely required. And yes, they are infinities, but let me remind you of the alephs: infinity has sizes too. While searching along an infinite line might be daunting, searching along an infinite square or cube would be far worse. Now, Evan, I must know something if only for my self-comfort: what exactly was your wish at the Dark Tournament?"

OOC: Im pretty sure this is what I said...

OOG: That is what you said.
Tyrant says, "Oh." A... "look" passes over his body and face. "I... must apologize for intervening. I have delivered inadvertently upon you a great burden, even then, when you were unable to speak. I would like to justify it, but I cannot. I generally believe I should only observe and make public my findings, not intervene, but in this case I let my selfish desire to continue studying your universe surpass my nature. I must apologize to Daedrous and others. Now, if you wouldn't mind some more paternalistic advice..."

Evan will look blankly at him "Your selfish desires....I would be a chaos angel if it wasn't for you....and I'd much rather be something with a similar nature of you then an angel....It feels as if I did something wrong causing you this burden of self-loathing....hmmm and its something i know all to well...I'd love more advice....perhaps....with this knew knowledge....would you be more willing to mold me into what my potential holds in store for me?"

"No, you caused me nothing. You should not feel apologetic for my choices to respond to your actions. And as I made clear, I do not mold. I teach science, its wonders, its methodologies and my current findings."

"It teach is to influence....My father taught me his magics...and because of that knowledge he gave me, it pushed me in a certain direction to create more styles in other areas, so influencing is only molding to a lesser degree in my opinion."

"Yes, unfortunately, it is the near-necessary consequence of all instruction that the pupil emulates the professor. But clearly there is a distinction between behavioral adjustment or judgment and between teaching, clearly a distinction between teaching skills applicable to a variety of areas and skills that force specialization in the style of the master, and clearly more subtle relationships that reduce such alteration. There is no 'style' of science, though there are styles of math. And that does bring me to my paternalistic advice. You see, another young and ambitious young man with a powerful father thought of me as a source of liberty or secrets, and I am afraid that he was somewhat disappointed with the results. You may know him as Arek."

"It matters not...I have a friend whom choose something similar to my wish...only with your former student. Perhaps I can ask him to find the information out that you won't devuldge...." Evan deep and hard
"This is the sensorship...that I find so disgusting, people bring things up...incredible thing...you open doorways to vast knowledge then slam them shut in my face. Just like the my father." Evan will grind his teeth a moment "I hate being teased Tyrant..." Evan will pass for a moment "I think I need time to experiement."

"Well, Jack consciously chose the Excelsior route, if I'm not mistaken. And like I said, this is not some sadistic streak or 'censorship' in my intentions, nor I imagine in your fathers'. You simply do not have the experience, skill, power or maturity yet to control the power they have. Like many of the young, you want something for nothing. Knowledge requires sacrifice, and I would imagine power does as well. The fact that you have gotten as far as you have as quickly as you have is a tribute not only to your innate talent and skill but of the generosity and efforts of your peers and trainers. In my case, I 'tease' you because to do otherwise would be to threaten my very existence. I don't know how I can make it clearer... Well, I suppose you could experience it, if you wish. You already have in some form. You were mute when I told you the truth of Paradigm and you were paralyzed just now with your drug experience, which was only possible with the help of your father and I, by the way."

"So you would rather not be aware of plateaus currently beyond your reach then be aware of them and know you will eventually achieve them? Perhaps your wish should have been for reincarnation like Jess", Tyrant says, in his self-effacing way.

"I can drive myself to those heights without little teases of what the future holds. It only serves to frustrate me. Everytime they tease me its makes me feel as if im still only trying to master the fundimentals, and Im not making any progress."

"It's because they had a sight of the higher plateaus. They had a model, however much they hated that model, to reach. I am sure your father, or Fred Lumina-Weise, or any of the rest of them would just have wanted the All-Monster and the Avatars and their other adversaries to disappear, based on my observation of their natures. But since that was not the universe they lived in, they instead excelled. If they had not had those exemplars, they would have stagnated. They may indeed be stagnating now for the same reason. Now your adversaries not only do not try to kill you but actively help you excel and and you complain to me. Doesn't that strike you as a little selfish?"

Evan smirks "Well Tyrant I never claimed not to be selfish, or nice.....But to switch topics....what is it you'd like me to do, experiment on my own for awhile? Maybe show me a few new tricks?"

"Ah. Well, you should start caring about such things, if only from a perspective of professional ethics. And again, I wouldn't prefer you to do anything. I'm afraid this time is nearly up, so if you wish to ask any important questions, not would be the time."

"I want you to keep a close eye on Jack, Daedrous, Mica, Clawthorn, Archeus, Janus... But I know a lot about you already. I need you more to monitor the universe, and help me if you can perform experiments and... well, as I warned Daedrous, there are ominous storms of old fate coming."

Evan nods, then bows "As you wish." Evan will goto Crashing Heavens and into a sparing grounds or maybe even our universe built for destruction. I wanna experiement with a few things before continuing.

Well, if it's Fun in the Laboratory, Evil Dimension, or what not, post there. If not, post here. You can always be a bastard and go after Evan or Hack with your experiments.
Evan goes to the house, the office, what?

Evan knocks at the door. It is spartan as always and engraved "President of Administration". Inside Xeno is busily at work. He says, "Do come in... Evan! How are things?"

Evan will enter, and sit down and glare icily at him. He'll say nothing whatsoever, and wait to be spoken to again.
