Dusting off an old, old muse, possibly headed to thegames. Canon is Escaflowne.

[moeromoero]

A fight to the death? Last man standing? Oh, I think this will be a very suitable exercise for the Captain of the Dragon Slayers.

Pity you couldn't have thought of it sooner... I so hate waiting. But at least this will give me a chance to size up a few of my future opponents.

[From behind closed lips, a short, high-pitched laugh.] Let the Games begin...

[forgetfulmind]

...oh my god I have to get out of here.

[moeromoero]

Feel like running away already, little mouse?

Don't worry about me -- I'm only watching for now.

[forgetfulmind]

Not reassuring.

[moeromoero]

[So obviously teasing:] Now, now, they did give you a five. I'm sure you'll find something to do with those arrows.

[forgetfulmind]

Hey!

...I caught a bird.

[moeromoero]

I'd give you until the third week. At most.

[precognitions]

She shouldn't be so excited to see you.

fyi: his canon point is pre-scar.

[moeromoero]

Well, if it isn't Allen Schezar's newest pet.

Got something to say?

[tasteyellowdeath]

You actually want to go to that place?

[moeromoero]

I was made for battle. What better way to make the Generals proud?

[tasteyellowdeath]

But those people don't want to fight you!

[moeromoero]

Yet if they don't, the Gamemakers could burn down the forest.

Or I just might. There's no way out of the fighting, so what's the point in being a coward?

[tasteyellowdeath]

...

You're creepy.

[moeromoero]

I'm an elite soldier of the Zaibach Empire's Red Copper Army. What are you?

[tasteyellowdeath]

I'm a soda mixer at the local pharmacy, that's what I am!!

[That didn't sound as cool as he thought it would.]

And instead of scaring everyone, I'm gonna try to find a way to protect them. S...Somehow.

That's what a soldier should do.

ohmygod your guy is aDORable

[moeromoero]

And then the ones in charge send an acid rain, or a pack of wild dogs to hunt you down.

But I suppose you'll all die together, if that's what you want.

Thank you!! I really hope to see Dilandau next round, he's so delightfully wicked.

[tasteyellowdeath]

...If we're really going to die no matter what we do...at least we should make it mean something.

But if we don't try, we'll never know. And I'm not smart. But I think not trying is even dumber.

And...and you're a soldier, for Elvis' sake. I thought soldiers wanted to protect people.

[moeromoero]

You're getting 'soldier' confused with 'hero.' You really shouldn't, you know.

[needsaprince]

Why would you ever WANT to be here?

It's awful!

[moeromoero]

Want to? Not exactly. I'd rather be back home, completing my mission. But if I have to trade one kind of war for another, then I'm going to win.

[needsaprince]

But...it's...it's just awful!

[Ok, she knows that a little redundant. But he has to see how awful it is.]

[moeromoero]

Not for someone who knows how to handle themselves in a fight.

I'm sure you won't need to worry about it for long.

[needsaprince]

[Her mouth drops open before she sputters out a response.]

Sir, how dare you. You have no honor.

[moeromoero]

[Shrug. So not caring.]

Honor is overrated on the field of battle. Those who put too much stock in it will only wind up dead.

[needsaprince]

I'd rather be dead then a-a-dishonorable cad.

[She would rather just not be dead, but...you know.]

late but dhjgklgf dilandau

[talkaboutme]

Oh, look. Finally someone who isn't whining about it.

...and then late reply. derp.

[moeromoero]

Is that really what all of them are doing? This is going to be easier than I thought.

lates everywhere

[talkaboutme]

I guess most people can't handle actually having to prove their worth.

Probably because they're worth nothing.

[moeromoero]

You sound pretty confident yourself.

[talkaboutme]

Of course. It's not like I'm an amateur.

[moeromoero]

Could this mean I might actually have something to look forward to in the arena? My, my.

What's your weapon?

[talkaboutme]

Bow and arrow - which luckily seem to be in plentiful supply there. And you?

[moeromoero]

The sword. Although a bow and arrow will do, if I must.

[talkaboutme]

Great. I'm looking forward to killing you after I get rid of all the garbage.

[moeromoero]

[A laugh.] We'll just see about that.
