Why not PM him and ask?

We’ve watched while the stars burned
Out, and creation played in reverse.
The Universe freezing in half-light.
Once I thought to escape.
To end a master, step out of the
Path of collapse. Escape would make us God.
Yet I cannot help but remember one enigma,
A hybrid, elusive destroyer.
This is the one mystery I have not solved.
The only element unaccounted for.

Hell.

Oh, then it's from Renaissance England, which was basically the same thing.

No, it's from renaissance Italy. Italian civil servants were so very cynical. But that was Machiavelli.

Makaveli is what Tupac called himself.

Really? Why do people always insist on trying to be something they're not?

Exactly, he thought it was much more important to appear virtuous than to be virtuous.

^Favourite Machiavelli quote. :-)

Well, I got the Renaissance part right.
My history teacher would kill me if she found out I said England there.

I did enjoy his "Art of War" very much as well. Just not as much as I enjoyed the same title by Sun Tzu.

I may be wrong but I believe Makaveli was an old, wooden sailing ship from around the 18th Century. . .

It's after Tupac.

I thought it was from the guy who wrote "The Prince", but Maka corrected me on why he chose the name.

That might just be because it's an old wooden-sailing ship (you should probably just leave now, before you embarrass yourself too much).
