Twenty Ninth Night

[zawarudo]

With all the talk of war going on and my boredom increasing in this place, I have a question for the rest of you:

What would drive you to kill? What would you take a life for? Do tell...

Voice.

[beatitlikemj]

I think dat it'd take ... a lot. I didn' kill no one when I was a Reaper an' dat almost got me killed.

It'd ... probably take summin' really hurtin' my sista or a friend or ...

Voice.

[zawarudo]

Someone hurting your loved ones, hm?

Voice.

[beatitlikemj]

Y-Yeah.

Voice.

[zawarudo]

That seems to be a common theme.

[angelic_lawyer]

I don't think that's a question that can be answered until a person finds themselves in that situation. Envisaging something is not equal to feeling or doing something, after all.

[zawarudo]

And nothing quite replicates the feeling of seeing someone forced into that situation

[mr_manicure]

That's a bit of a morbid question, don't you think? Would you mind answering it yourself?

[zawarudo]

I kill to survive. Do you have a better question for me?

[coronercolonel]

[Jade chooses to ignore that last part, because Lorelei knows what he would answer, but he frowns at the mention of war]

A war? Between whom, might I ask?

[zawarudo]

The people claiming to be countries. Have you just not been paying attention to their incessant babble? I wouldn't blame you.

[coronercolonel]

Sorry to say, I haven't been around that long to bear witness to their incessant babbling.

...People claiming to be countries. Are you implying there are independent powers in Fortuna? Rebels, if I may put a name to them.

[zawarudo]

No; there are people deluded into thinking they are actual countries. America, Italy, Germany, Prussia...

[7th_warrant]

Amusing.

[zawarudo]

Answer the question then, if it's so amusing.

[7th_warrant]

I believe you already know my answer, Herr Brando.

[zawarudo]

Mm, share it with me again.
