Mundane-

[She speaks quietly but in a voice that doesn't waver.] Absolutely not. Wherever you're taking me, i'm not using my Stalkers to...do "cool" things. Stalkers aren't "cool", they're unfortunately necessary agents of warfare...which is also not "cool". I will not be used as a tool to waste lives for your amusement.

Well fuck
Is there really any other kind of amusement to be had

[themomentoftherose]

I'm...sure there is.

[upstartcrow]

I dont know
As the grandmaster expert on both cool and wasting lives like a tool I think Im qualified to say theres nothing more entertaining

[themomentoftherose]

And how many lives have you wasted?

[upstartcrow]

Most recently my own
That one wasnt that funny I guess
Futile last stands are pretty trite as far as plot points go just so you know

[themomentoftherose]

And yet you are talking to me. It would not be the first time i've talked to a dead boy, but never one who wasn't encased in metal.

Last stands seem to be what the Green Storm falls back on. Martyrdom holds strategic value is probably what the generals are saying...[Sigh.]
