Why not?

[edgeofjustice]

You ask, I don't have a great track record for talking to Personae.

[ganbareist]

Well, alright.

Captain? Sea Witch? Are you there?

We wanted to ask what it is that you want us to get out of this. Amd maybe what you get out of this? Or is that telling?

[dramatispersonae]

We're getting power to drive back the Darkness, of course.

[edgeofjustice]

That aside—you run games to your taste, right? What is it about this game that appeals to you?

[ganbareist]

... Guess that's telling.

[edgeofjustice]

Damn.

Offering to help find them a better hobby is probably out.

[ganbareist]

If it's really power they want, then it has to generate enough.

Effort, [touches his chest] from here. That's what Mal told me once.

[edgeofjustice]

From... the heart?

[ganbareist]

Yep.

And neither of us has anything we can really offer that compares... at least, not worth avoiding a sacrifice here.

... We could always offer a fantastic battle. A long, bloody duel.

[edgeofjustice]

I thought about it. But someone else probably has too.

[ganbareist]

I bet we could take it further, if it's you and me. If we really went all out.

[kinda... pauses...]


... Or maybe they'd like "torture" better.

[edgeofjustice]

[Eyebrow]

One of us torture the other?

[ganbareist]

A fight to the edge of death where the intent is to mess the other up as much as possible... we could generate a lot of power there.

Whatever other people might be offering... this is our best way to do it, isn't it?

And for backup, so the choice is made, do you mind if I take the honors?

[edgeofjustice]

No. As long as I can be the one to do it.

[ganbareist]

[...]

Alright.

Why?

[edgeofjustice]

Because I don't want them touching you.

[ganbareist]

...

[ganbareist]

[l-laughs]

Possessive... What a way of thinking.

Okay.

[edgeofjustice]

Alright then. Deal.

[ganbareist]

For some reason I'm more okay with it that way.

[edgeofjustice]

That was the plan.
