[murderingjustice]

Afternoon everyone. This is Goro Akechi speaking.

We have come to find ourselves from a quite troubling situation. All thanks to acts of those from Rumpitur. I have heard the talk around the town about what should we do with them. Some of the people of Aldrip seem to be advocating for revenge, while others forgiveness.

Normally, I think the wisest choice of action would be leave the situation behind us and not to get involved in the politics of this world. But this is different. This wasn't a random attack or act of a beast, but carefully planned and intentional action against us. If we hadn't been successful in our rescue mission our numbers would have depleted no doubt. Who knows, the kidnappings could still be ongoing.

[He doesn't really care much for most of you. But this time they had hit where it hurt.]

What do you think, my fellow Chosen? Stay still and leave them be, potentially risking another attack. Or retaliate? Although, I believe it is important to remember that we still don't have all the details. Making this whole ordeal seem just more suspicious.

As for what I think? I believe something needs to pay for this.

who would be in responsible for that? would you take up the task to guard them and make sure they stayed locked up? besides, being isolated and trapped like an animal is hardly any better than death.

and is that not heroic to you?

[groans.]

Okay we'll think about the punishment later, deal? What we should focus on is figuring out those responsible.

I guess so. Although, it almost sounds like an insult coming from you.

[murderingjustice]

I've made up my mind. Unlike you, I'm not a hero.

[laserguy]

why do you try so hard to be the villain???

[murderingjustice]

[Scott doesn't see it but Akechi's rolling his eyes.]

you clearly don't know me.

not everything is so black and white.

[laserguy]

Somehow, I don't feel like that's my fault.

Yeah yeah, I get it. Thank you ol' wise one.

[murderingjustice]

I wouldn't be so sure about that. I'd argue you are far more privy to my life than you have any business being.

[He hasn't forgotten the dead mom thing!]

clearly you still have much to learn. in life and combat.

[laserguy]

[Maybe he'd be more annoyed by Akechi's words a couple of months ago, but he doesn't feel that defensive anger. Also, what Quentin said to him was far worse--]

Right, sure. You plan on taking time out of your murder schedule to teach me?

[murderingjustice]

[....you know what. fuck you. he's going to do exactly that]

if you think you can survive it.

[laserguy]

[Is that a challenge--]

Yeah, I can.

[Wait is Akechi actually serious--]

[murderingjustice]

[oh no. don't poke his competitive spirit. there'll never be end to it.]

oh, you can?

well, in that case you will be meeting me tomorrow morning at the entrance to the woods.

[laserguy]

[No backing down now. He's no pussy!!]

Fine, tomorrow morning, I'll be there. Don't skip out.

[Is this a dumb idea? Maybe, probably, but Scott doesn't care. He has his pride.]
