I want to fight a war.

Anyone up for starting one?

Come on, let me make your greedy little dreams come true.

Or maybe you want to take down that guy who set off such a flashy introduction?

I don't really care.

This place is that boring, huh?

[He hasn't even been here that long, and he's already bored. Though, he did hear about that incident regarding the hospital and whatnot. After heading over to check it out, he was left raising his eyebrows, a bit.]

You talking about the guy that turned the hospital inside out? I'm actually curious to see how much trouble people will go to just to hunt him down.

[voice]

[barbaric_specter]

[Because this very message totally hadn't taken him hours to type out, nope.]

Yeeeeeeep.

[So. very. boring.]

Who knows, they may all be too afraid to do anything, at least alone. Guess if they worked together things could turn interesting but lets be honest, you can't all be the leader in a group.

[swordprincess]

You...?

Why do you want to fight a war?

[barbaric_specter]

Because it's in my blood.

[swordprincess]

In your blood...

[The words sound oddly familiar.]

That sounds like something my brother would say. I guess you could say it's in my blood as well...

[barbaric_specter]

[He chuckles a little.]

If that was true, then you would understand perfectly what I mean.

[Bankotsu missed it all, the thrill, the challenge, the chaos. He lived it, breathed it, and he couldn't stand just sitting around in this peaceful little hovel any longer.]

You would find it just as fun as I do.

[swordprincess]

Perhaps...but I hate it. I hate fighting...I hate the sword. And yet...something within me craves battle.

[She's smacked down one opponent after another in the arenas, but it was all for naught]

[barbaric_specter]

Sounds more like you're addicted to battle. Such things are not the case for me. I am blood thirsty but I do it for the pleasure, because it's the only way I feel alive.

If you hate it so much then eventually you'll find a way to stop or you'll drive yourself insane.

[swordprincess]

[The words definitely sound like something her brother would say...]

It's the only way you feel alive? That sounds like an addiction to battle as well...

[xroyal_bratx]

The hospital just got turned to ruins and you're thinking of war?

Seriously?!

[barbaric_specter]

Eh, I've seen a lot worse.

You act like my wanting a war is wrong, but don't you feel the same? Are you not willing to join in a party with the aim of taking out another individual or group? Such aaaas...Oh the hero's of populating Genessia going after the culprit who took out said hospital?

I don't know about you, but that's what I call a war.

[xroyal_bratx]

Yeah so have I but damage is still damage.

[ She narrowed her eyes. ]

I feel like instead of starting a pointless war we figure out what the hell he wanted and solve it first before throwing more people into the storm of danger. If a war broke out mor people would get hurt and die. No, because I've seen it gone to shit really fast.

People are angry. It's not a war. We just need to find him and make him pay for it by other means than useless bloodshed. I think there's enough as is.

[barbaric_specter]

[Wow, he almost managed to keep a straight face through all of that. But like a leak in a dame his true emotions start to burst forth, starting with a small smirk and then ending in a burst of laughter.]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Ah man that's cute...

[The laughter dissipates and his eyes lower at the girl, a sick grin spread over his face.]

That you think everybody desires the same thing you do. How arrogant.

It's that chaos, that very useless bloodshed that I desire to see, to create. I'm a man born of warring nations this kind of peaceful existence is just so unnatural and idealistic your words really just go through one ear and out the other.

[He shakes his head, holding his hands up in mock defeat...as if he's trying to convince a child of the facts of life and failing to get them to understand.]

So long as battle is imminent there is a chance of war, and I think you’ll find yourself faced with one despite whatever you have planned to avoid it.

[Just a fact of life.]

[xroyal_bratx]

That's not what I mean. You don't get it do you? No one wants that right now except hot blooded people who want to make matters worse. What are you going to do when you find him? Try to kill him? Get killed in the process. Not saying you can't take him on but seriously he's not an ordinary person.

[ She narrowed her eyes at his laughter. She might say things but she means it. Right now a lot of people want to just help others to safety and get things fixed. Not everyone was going to think like that but she knew that most people do. ]

People like you piss me off. You can do what you want but don't involved innocent people in it.

Maybe when it comes but right now, in all honesty, it's not needed. He'll get stopped somehow. Right now we have more important things to be worried about...for most people anyway.

1, 2, 3, 4, I declare a thumb war!

[barbaric_specter]

...What?

[tenminutes]

You want a war, and since starting a real one over absolutely nothing just the only thing actually stupider than being stupid, I'm challenging you to a thumb war.
