18th Confession [Voice/Action]

Feb 22, 2011 16:48

[Voice]

Looks like we're being led around by a rope, like usual. But you gotta' wonder-what good will it do to rile us all up into wanting to fight, into learning how to fight? Or have they forgotten that most of Luceti wants them either dead, or drinking through a straw? Either way, it's pretty incredible that they can't hold back these enemies, ( Read more... )

It seems entirely possible that where we are so often weakened by the Shifts inside of the barrier the robots are strengthened. Or, failing that, that there is some subtle miasma they release that serves a depressant. [A pause, sigh] Oh perhaps... we are simply the more useful piece, given that we can leave the "nest" safely, whereas the robots might not be able to.

Re: [voice] not_a_bluesbro February 23 2011, 04:28:16 UTC

[Oh hey, there's that grumpy kid who hates preachers. 8D]

And yet they send people incapable of fighting... Their 'compatibility' system makes no sense to me. One second you're not compatible with it, the next you're on the draft list a few months later without your say so.

They could at least be a little more predictable.

[Spoken exasperatedly, but in a mocking tone that said he knew there was no such thing as predictability in the way of the Malnosso.]

[voice] soulbait February 24 2011, 06:43:11 UTC

You are assuming that a matter of compatibility is within their control. It could well be a factor outside of their control.

Re: [voice] not_a_bluesbro February 24 2011, 09:55:24 UTC

True.

Or maybe they're all just jerks who don't like us for no particular reason, so they send us out instead of their own perfectly working people to hurt our morale to revolt while they keep their hands clean of their enemy's blood.

But it's all guessing on my part. Not like they're going to give up their information to a bunch of unfortunate prisoners.

Because it's an equal opportunity for them.

[This answer likely would've made more sense in context if he'd said it on the journals, instead of from where he sits on a rooftop in the square, but pssh. Details.]

[Wolfwood pauses midstep, and then turns his chin just slightly to find the source of the noise. Ah, Shikamaru, was it? His mind is a little overwhelmed by questions and thoughts, so he doesn't quite make the connection yet. And then then, he probably should make sure-]

Pardon?

[Action] its_troublesome February 23 2011, 04:33:31 UTC

Your question on the journals. [He closes said book, tucking it into his flak jacket.] It's because it works to both of their advantages.

Re: [Action] not_a_bluesbro February 23 2011, 04:39:17 UTC

[He turns his body around now to face the building, arm poised to hold the cross in arm. His voice is that of curiosity:]

You don't say...

Care to elaborate on those advantages?

[Talk to Vash? Why the heck would you want to do something silly like that! Not like he's been attempting to avoid the world by hiding in his room when not at Good Spirits and the bakery to stock up, or taking care of the flowers at the shop.

...man he's bad at this recluse thing.

But if you REALLY want to have a chat with him he'll be lounging on his bed, petting the cat. No, that is NOT a bottle of whiskey hiding cleverly behind his night stand.

That would be an empty one that was lazily and hidden not very well.]

Re: [Action] not_a_bluesbro February 23 2011, 04:32:57 UTC

[Wolfwood leans on the door-yep, he's got a few bandaids here and there, a bandage on his wrist, as though he's been learning from a spirit or two-frowning.]

Don't tell me you're drinking yourself dumb when there's a draft going on.

[Action] goldenglasses February 23 2011, 04:36:12 UTC

No, not dumb. It was almost empty before I saw the announcement. [Because that WAS his plan until he saw THAT.]

[He eyes the bandages.] Are you getting far with him?

Re: [Action] not_a_bluesbro February 23 2011, 04:44:20 UTC

[He nods, folding his arms.]

Far enough. And he's being a little more cooperative than before; I guess he's finally warming up to me.

[Yeah, that's sounds about right. Even when the bastard seems like he's cooperative, he still likes to offer a little burn here or there to piss Wolfwood off (or perhaps to at least try to and make him snap). Whadda jerk.]

It's taking a little while, considering I started off on the wrong foot with him.

[How about she glares for a minute and talks?]

It's a free country.

[This would sound so much more rebellious and mean if she wasn't clearly stuffed up to the gills with a head cold. |D]

not_a_bluesbro February 23 2011, 05:31:06 UTC

[...kid, you are just so grumpy and he's not sure why. :(]

Did you not like the way I dressed, Miss Katie? Or were you offended by my nose? I don't know, I don't think it's that bad. I think it suits me pretty well!

[But Wolfwood'll still put up with you, because you're just a kid. With the ability to fling people other places and possibly kill them.]

flicker_flash February 23 2011, 17:38:20 UTC

[SHE HAS LOTS OF REASONS, YOU JERK. No really. For instance:]

How do you know my name?

[Because that is important and if priests know her name that means terrible things and aaaah ;A;]

not_a_bluesbro February 23 2011, 21:54:54 UTC

I asked around about what little girls would hurl people into mountainsides, actually; your name came up more than once.

[He reaches into his pockets for a cigarette, but pauses.

In a low but soft voice:]

I almost died up there, y'know. Could you at least tell me why you hate me so much? I'll be sure to stay away from you, if it's that bad.

I've heard there's at least one robot here in Luceti. Maybe someone should ask them if they've been able to go through these 'tunnels'? Unless you're right, and only those literally brought here can leave it.

...

Maybe all of their power resides here, on this specific section of land-and outside the barrier, they're powerless. That's why power-caps are lifted when we leave, maybe...?

[He's grasping at what he's heard, but he's still not entirely sure, being so new to all this.]

Like I said-I've only heard, and I've got no name to give you. But it's a good thing to look into, if you're working on figuring out how their machinery works.

Otherwise.... I don't think anyone can figure it out entirely, without one of the enemy deciding to be kind and finally reveal things to us. Which is... unlikely.
