[ Wen Kexing looks thoughtfully through the projection cast by the coin, as if he's trying to see the people on the other side of the network. He can't yet, but he's judging anyway. ]

Who is a leader here?

[ That's not very helpful. He considers and tries again. ]

It looks like a lot of the people brought here belong to groups or sects of some kind. Isn't that weird?

Anyway, the most important question is which of you is the strongest?

[ He folds his arms across his chest. ]

We're all from different places, so how can we tell?

Tch, well I know that.

[ He doesn't actually know. He's never met a god; isn't sure he really believes they exist at all. But if Wen Kexing were to place bets, it would be on gods being selfish. People in power only care about protecting their own power. That part makes perfect sense to him. He can believe it. ]

You think I'm just going to wait to get stabbed in the back? People aren't that generous. They'll come for you if you let them go, so it doesn't matter who starts it. At least now we all know.

[oracledriven]

[Oh, good. At least he gets that.]

Sounds more like you're looking for an excuse to cause trouble, to me. Or maybe you're just paranoid, but I sort of doubt people care enough about you that they're lining up to get in a good stabbing.

[yeshou]

[He leans back in his seat, waving his closed hand fan toward the image projection of Noel.]

Are you afraid of trouble? There's always going to be a reason to fight. Why does it matter what my reason is? It won't change anyone else's mind.

[oracledriven]

Of course not. I've seen plenty of trouble.

[His mouth sets in a grim frown for a second.] But I know how badly it can end, too. Starting fights just for the sake of fighting is stupid and reckless.

[yeshou]

[Wen Kexing laughs, brushing off that thought.]

Is fighting for the sake of anything else that much better? What's wrong with setting up a challenge? It's their choice to take it. And it sounds like a lot of people here like to fight. Why don't we all just do it?

[Stupid and reckless is his favorite approach.]

[oracledriven]

Pretty sure the goal is supposed to be not fighting -- unless it can't be helped. Not that I mind a challenge, but you're talking as if everyone here wants to fight you on principle, and I think you're wrong, there.

[Big words for a jrpg character, dude!!]
