So much bloodshed. The clown named Kefka and now Vash-san. It's forbidden to get involved in private fights, but things like this make me wonder. How far should I follow the Code here? Is it considered protecting the people to take arms as a captain, or is it merely foolish of me to assume they even need protecting? Do I even have the strength to help?

The people here fight with fire and magic, things I can't comprehend. They heal with a touch and kill despite the impermanency of death. I fill my days with training and frivolous pursuits, music and art, helping at the Center, but my heart is heavy. We were men charged with war, with keeping the peace and killing our enemies. These enemies are foreign, worse than the rebels, worse than the foreign evil that came upon our shores and forced us into a treaty at the threat of annihilation.

I have no idea how to fight anymore.

It seems there's quite the commotion going on. Is everyone alright? And has anyone seen Sasarai-san?

Anyway, the Welcome Center is open to help New Feathers, the new arrivals, with adjusting to life here in Luceti. Please feel free to stop by anytime, or call upon myself, Sasarai-san, Martel-san, or anyone else who works at the Center. We can provide lodging and warm food and drink to help you weather the winter. Of course, that goes to anyone! Even those who have been here awhile. It's always nice to see friendly faces, hm?

Hijiri-kun? I'll be by later on to finally take you up on the music lessons, if that is alright with you? I'm afraid I was quite busy with the New Years and all.

[...how to word this.]

Vash was a friend of ours. He hates any life being taken, so for us to seek revenge for his death would be an insult to him.

...but Yuber loves killing and blood and screaming. He's already attacked several people. He's going to keep picking people off unless someone stops him, and I think ...my captain is the most effective person to do it.

That being said, we're not killers. We just don't know how else to deal with him.

...
[He smiles and tries it on]
It's wonderful. Thank you.
2ndunitcaptain: (His seppuku was truly impressive.)

You've got a point.

So visiting her probably did her a great deal of good.

[He pauses because ouch, this is so true - he wishes he were a normal person.]
Yes, that's very true.

[Voice ^-^]

I hope so.

It's my fault for writing it. I really should have taken that page out.

How does one go about making a better one?

Which is what I feared... To deal with one like him will involve more death, but when he returns will you two be locked in eternal combat - sending each other to the grave over and over until there is nothing left to take?

There must be a way to save them, Nagakura-san.

And I will find it.

[Voice <3 ]

[identity profile] ahappylie.livejournal.com 2010-01-09 01:21 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, I'm sure of it.

[Voice ~<3 ]

[identity profile] amber-arcangel.livejournal.com 2010-01-09 01:22 am (UTC)(link)
I might ask later..

Alright.

[He notices the pause.]

Is something wrong?

You could do this... [Insert long-as-hell explanation and techniques for how to code because mun has no clue.]

[She's quiet for a while. The automatic reaction even now is that Luffy won't lose, because he never does unless it's the Malnosso. On the other hand, even if that were absolutely the case, the idea of him murdering Yuber over and over and over - like he's threatened to do - is a horrible one.

And very much unlike Luffy.]


If there was another way, I'd gladly take it. I'm still looking for another way. But ...I think if it comes down to killing him more than once or sitting back and letting him pick off the villagers, I know which Luffy will take.

Right. Right, we will.

[She'll reach over and flip one of the ends back over his shoulder, then nods.]

Great! I thought you might like it, even if it couldn't decide what it wanted to be.

Is it really that much of a certainty that he will? Up until this incident, I've not heard of him killing anyone.

[Voice]

[identity profile] ahappylie.livejournal.com 2010-01-10 10:55 am (UTC)(link)
Hm? No, nothing at all.

[He listens and then takes a piece of paper out from under the counter.]

I...think I should write this down. Please help yourself to the tea while I do so.

[identity profile] ahappylie.livejournal.com 2010-01-10 11:00 am (UTC)(link)
So keep faith, hm? If we lose our hope, we lose everything.

[He laughs a little and reaches up to feel the scarf again.]
Oh? Did it take awhile to come together then?

He killed a deer not too long ago, just for the sheer "fun" of having it scream and bleed. He's entertained by it. He said much the same thing about killing Vash. And I've got other reasons to believe he'll do it again. Probably the moment he's bored, he'll start looking for another victim.

[...]

He told me my screams were quite entertaining. This isn't something a once-off killer would say, Okita.

[identity profile] stalkingmybro.livejournal.com 2010-01-10 03:35 pm (UTC)(link)
If you say so.

[He nods, waiting for Okita to catch up while trying to enjoy tea.]
