[Video] Watch Post (please report in guys ♥)

Oct 03, 2010 23:40

[The video turns on to Seifer. He's a little pale, but he won't say anything if no one else says anything. And he'd appreciate you not saying anything, so. All in all he looks like he has his shit a little more together; at least he looks functional, a little less angry. There's a sort of bitterness he didn't use to have, but hey he's not shooting ( Read more... )

grit your teeth and bear it, irony is crueler than you thought, the game's long over, fuck manners, discedo, ic

That depends on what it is for.

[Locked] inyourgarden October 4 2010, 19:35:35 UTC

A chat. You owe me one. Lights. Five minutes.

[He hardly ever goes to the Lights, but he knows if he tried to start anything there Shinji would toss him out. And he's trusting Giovanni knows that too.]

betrayedblade October 4 2010, 19:50:47 UTC

[He doesn't send a reply.]

[action] betrayedblade October 4 2010, 19:54:24 UTC

[But in five minutes he'll be at the Northern Lights, chatting with Desmond behind the bar though the conversation is short and tense. He waits.]

[action] lawlz too fast me /facepalm sorry |D inyourgarden October 4 2010, 19:57:21 UTC

[Seifer's there sitting at a table. He just looks at Giovanni. You can take your own time sitting down with him, it's not like he's got anything better to do.]

[action] ltoo slow me! plus /kicks internet. no worries. and thanks. <3 betrayedblade October 4 2010, 20:02:05 UTC

[Giovanni takes his own time to, put simply, case out the place before going anywhere near Seifer. He nods at Desmond before taking his leave from the bar and stalking over to the table.

He sits across from Seifer and laces his hands together on the table, waiting patiently.]

[Seifer waits a moment to make sure Giovanni's not going anywhere.]

[...] You ever try'n manage my affairs for me again I'll do more than just set you on fire.

[Just saying. He really didn't appreciate Giovanni's post.]

You know Credo?

[action] ♥ betrayedblade October 4 2010, 20:39:30 UTC

I will handle things as I see fit, whether they have to do with you or not.

[Meaning: I'm not listening to you.]

I know of him.

[action] inyourgarden October 4 2010, 20:43:38 UTC

[He just looks at Giovanni. He guesses he'll be setting the man on fire some time in the future then. Fun. Anyways...]

Good. Then get to know him. Soon as I've got him up to standards he's taking over the Watch.

[action] betrayedblade October 4 2010, 20:46:05 UTC

And you expect me to just continue to play along?

[action] inyourgarden October 4 2010, 20:52:03 UTC

[He leans back in his chair.]

He's everything you want ain't he. Honorable. A knight. He's not an idiot. He won't lie to you and he won't cheat you. Hard worker.

[You know, better than Seifer.]

[...] He's not as good at intelligence as me. Gonna work on it with him, but...

[He shrugs. He can only do so much. If Credo's going to take over the Watch he's going to need Giovanni's help.]

Or did you decide protecting the innocent isn't for you while I was gone.

[action] betrayedblade October 4 2010, 20:59:38 UTC

I have always done things my own way. I choose my alliances for myself, make my own pacts, my own deals... and serve those whom I please and no one else.

Being told to work with a man I hardly know--your word on him not withstanding--is not how I operate.

[action] inyourgarden October 4 2010, 21:08:04 UTC

[He actually pauses a bit.]

This isn't a transfer of your services, it's a transfer of your pawn. I know you've been using me Giovanni. I didn't really care before; if I do work for you, what's it matter if it helps me in the end.

You don't want to lead the Watch and neither does anyone else. It's something you all need around here though. Maybe casualties can't be cut out entirely, but with the Watch they can be cut down drastically. The Watch is a tool of Discedo, much as you might not like it you live here, it's your tool just like everyone else's.

I'd have thought you'd prefer someone like Credo over me.

[action] betrayedblade October 4 2010, 21:47:17 UTC

You want the truth?

A man like Credo is great when it comes to the city guard. He makes a fine watchman, maybe makes it to captain of a small unit perhaps, he serves loyally and faithfully and with full conviction that he is righteous. But nothing more.

He is never a leader and if he is he does a poor job of it. He was made to follow orders, relay them down to his subordinates, not make them up himself and issue them. He is not ambitious enough, sly enough, or confident enough.

In the end, he is nothing but a tool as you said yourself. Useful, until it breaks. And everything eventually breaks.

[action] inyourgarden October 4 2010, 22:43:44 UTC

... ... ... ...Are you trying to tell me you want me to find you another sleazy bastard to take over the Watch.

[Cause that's what it sounds like. Not that Giovanni's thoughts don't mirror his own. He knows Credo's too righteous and set in military law to be the greatest leader. He just... doesn't have any other options. Sephiroth is not an option.]

[action] betrayedblade October 4 2010, 22:57:10 UTC

[Giovanni suppresses a chuckle and smirks darkly.]

Not quite. There is a fine line... [He takes a heavy breath and turns his head to look out at the room.] This is not home. Circumstances change.

If there is no other choice then I will make do. [He looks back at Seifer.] But it will be my choice to be a part of the Watch or not. Not yours.
