Hah? [ Here's a boy who's out of breath, waving a hand in front of his face to fan himself. ] I'm going to have one m, million dollars...? And I'm supposed to use it to save the c, country?!

[ He hardens up pretty quickly at the thought. ]

A million dollars isn't enough to save an entire country! Maybe if we traveled back in time another few years, it might be worth a try. It's worthless now! It's utterly worthless and you're not listening to a single word I'm saying, are you?

Sheesh, who would have thought I'd end up with another troublesome person. I bet you're one of those types that subscribes to magazines just to acquire limited edition omake too! Well, if you're going to send me there, hurry it up, will you?!

A million... are you being elected the president, then? Such responsibility...

[ex_ridden244]

Not q, quite! [ The news is alarming to him still. ] They give everyone a million dollars. I just don't think that's enough to save a country unless everyone works together, but what are the chances of that happening?

[fraternal]

...really? How do they know you're all spending it on the right things...?

[ex_ridden244]

Apparently it's all tracked on some kind of mechanical device. It's like a mini computer that doubles as a phone. What are they called... Oh! A cell phone, that's what it's called.

[fraternal]

All that on a cellphone? That's amazing...

That's a lot of responsibility and money to place on so many people...

[ex_ridden244]

Which is exactly why it's not going to work! Everyone is going to just run around countering the actions of everyone else. If someone uses the money to get rid of crime, someone else can just bring it back with their own. It's completely, utterly, and devastatingly hopeless!

[knightmaking]

One hundred million, actually, if I've heard right! Though that's only slightly better, isn't it?

What they expect anyone to do for a country with a funding cap like that, I certainly don't know.

[ex_ridden244]

One hundred million!?

[ Now that is something completely different. ]

I'm just not right for the job! There's plenty of other people that could go in my place, but she insists that I go instead. I'm surrounded by absurdity no matter where I go in my life.

[fraternal]

Will you have anyone you know there? Someone to help...

[ex_ridden244]

I don't have anyone.

[ He's quick to shake his head, wanting to take those rushed words back the moment they are out there. ]

I don't need anyone though. While this isn't ideal for his tastes, there's someone who's command I have to follow. I'll save this country and when I do, it won't be my name the people will be chanting. It'll be the name of my king!

[knightmaking]

[Why people would freak out over one hundred million, when he's sure his research has blown through double that in the past... Oh well. People can be so strange!]

Really? Then maybe she's only sending you because she thinks it'll be funny to watch you fail. That seems to be a common enough trend around here. [Failure, failure everywhere.] Unless you don't survive to use any of it. Then you won't have to worry at all!

[fraternal]

Your king?

[ex_ridden244]

[ It's called being a eighties kid!! ]

To f, fail!? [ Shaking his fist. ] Hey mun, that isn't amusing in the slightest!

[ And back to Lloyd. ]

Besides, I can't fail. I'm doing this for someone else entirely, so it's important that I succeed. That's just how it's going to be.

[ex_ridden244]

That's right.

He's a noisy sort of fellow, so we're fortunate he hasn't shown up yet. I don't think this place could handle someone of that magnitude.

[fraternal]

You say he's noisy... yet you're still going to try your best to save their country, and let him take the credit for it...

You're a really good person.

[ex_ridden244]

Itisn'tlikethatoranything!

I just owe it to him. That's all! It's a debt I'll be happy to pay and get rid of. One less mark on a board covered in them is all I'm aiming for!

[fraternal]

You don't seem to hate him though-

[ex_ridden244]

Hate is a powerful word and besides, he's not here, so there's no point to talking about him. So let's just stop before fate decides to send him barreling through that certain wall!

[fraternal]

[ Garry's still smiling. awww kawaii. ]

Then you'd be able to fight together, instead of you alone. You wouldn't like that?

[knightmaking]

You're not right for the job but you're still going to do it? [More interesting than giving up, at least!] That someone must be important to get you to do that, even after all that complaining! It's not the mun, is it?

[ex_ridden244]

Why would I waste my time doing a favor for some ungrateful wench that insists on taking me away from my travels?! Of course not! The responsibility has been shoved on me, so I have to be a man and face it.

[ex_ridden244]

People can't come back from the dead without an appetite for bloods, brains, or some other bodily fluid. The likelihood of ever seeing him again isn't slim, I could participate in another war in my lifetime, but he might break all of my bones once he's been summoned back to this realm.

[fraternal]

He- he'd break your bones?

[knightmaking]

So you're only going to go along with it because you want to be responsible? [That and no choice, but details, details.] How boring...

[ex_ridden244]

If I was over seventy years old! It isn't as though these kind of reunions can happen often. I'd have to wait another fifty years if I'm unlucky.



He's the sort of person who doesn't understand how to keep his hands to himself.
