Who: Leto + You
Broadcast: Text
Action: SS Blameless
When: August 4th

So it seems we've returned to enclosed quarters once more. Let's play a game to liven things up.

Who would you fuck, marry or kill on the Fleet?

I suppose to make it even harder, you could limit it to your ship.

[precedented]

Are they so bad? Your traditions?

[complicatedliar]

That would depend upon how one feels about doing battle, quaffing, and singing loud, boring songs about more battles. Though the bit about murdering Jotun is particularly fun.

I find them boring, Leto. Very boring.

[precedented]

But what of the magic? What of the golden filigree that adorns your weapons and clothes?

What about the history and scrolls and pictures that move with the universe?

[complicatedliar]

All that I am attached to is not for the sake of tradition. [If it's special to him, it is because it came from Frigga, not because he feels any particular love for the customs of Asgard.]

Magic is blood and bone and art. And there is a distinct difference between history and tradition, you realize.

[precedented]

Is it so distinct? I wonder.

[complicatedliar]

In my case, it is because I say it is so.

[precedented]

What an intellectual distinction.

[complicatedliar]

When reality yields so handily, because I said so becomes a reason rather than an excuse.

[precedented]

I'm sure every teenager would appreciate that retort.

[complicatedliar]

If only they had the power to go with it.

[precedented]

Power is such a fleeting thing.

[complicatedliar]

Only if you're bad at it.

[precedented]

I'm quite sure I'm the record holder.

[complicatedliar]

Shall we measure against each other?

[precedented]

What would it prove?

[complicatedliar]

Need it prove anything?

[precedented]

It usually lays the groundwork for measurement.

[complicatedliar]

The usual is boring, don't you find?

[precedented]

You know my opinion on such matters.

[complicatedliar]

It is a boring opinion, have you ever thought about having a different one?

[precedented]

I have plenty.

The question is: which one is mine?

[complicatedliar]

Shall you have only one?

[precedented]

One is sufficient.

[complicatedliar]

You really need to work on your greed.

[precedented]

I struggle with that concept.
