Who: Wrathion; perhaps you
Broadcast: Fleet-wide
Action: Three Twins, if you want to find him steepling his fingers somewhere and grinning too much
When: N-n-now

[Wrathion can't say he's exactly settled in yet. He's been assigned a ship; he has a position; he's met some people. He's learned a little--some of it interesting (so many different kinds of people already), some of it repellent (some of these kinds ought to wear a little more clothing), some of it merely filed away for later examination. Then there was Belthazar. Not trusting, no, but desperate. The best kind of person to help.

Wrathion's sitting at some table on his ship, looking into the camera, his smile as cheerful and full of teeth as always. Of all the experiences he's had in his short time here, one does stand out as particularly interesting.

That warning.]

My friends.

[Because we're all friends, right? Right.]

A little bird told me something fascinating. He warned me right off the bat about the current population of this Fleet.

In fact--

[Wrathion leans forward, his smile only widening.]

-- he implied quite directly that the lot of you were bloodthirsty murderers. Tell me, is this so? Am I among a congregation of fierce warriors? Of people prepared to kill at a moment's notice--no matter the target?

I should very much like to know.

[Well, that sure is a creepy smile.]

You seem overly happy about the fact.

[dragonflight]

Oh, happy is too strong. After all, this warning pertained specifically to me.

[forcemageure]

Well, now, that seems a little unfair. We're not all prepared to kill at a moment's notice. Some of us like to be paid first!

[dragonflight]

I can work with that.

[child_of_bhaal]

Being a warrior and being a blood thirsty murderer aren't necessarily related.

[She's frowning, because he's making it sounds like they're all just going around slaughtering everything in their wake.]

[dragonflight]

Oh, dear. Have I offended you? That certainly wasn't my intention.

[radiantwingedone]

[ Wow, aren't you super cheerfully interested in whether people are violent. ]

I personally wouldn't use bloodthirsty, but I cannot argue with the rest of the description..

[dragonflight]

[Accentuate the positive; eliminate the negative.]

If you wouldn't use bloodthirsty, which term would you prefer?

[George just looks...amused, leaning back in his chair, feet kicked up.]

I doubt it'll be as easy as all that. Or perhaps it will be, dependin' on what you're lookin' to learn.

[dragonflight]

Seems pretty easy so far.

[voice]

[delincuente]

Definitely slapped the crap out of a house fly once. I just couldn't help myself. The bloodthirst, you know?

[Sorry dude.]

[dragonflight]

[He's not fazed. His grin doesn't falter in the least.]

You must have excellent reflexes.

[openhands]

There is a difference between a warrior and those who would kill for sport or personal gain. So which do you really speak of?

[dragonflight]

Is there? Please, enlighten me.

action .... LMFAO

[ino]

[ Watching this from the doorway silently. She looks very unimpressed. ]

[dragonflight]

[Looks up, waves to her cheerfully.]

Good evening, captain!

[devilsinthedetails]

I can be if you pay me first.

[Mercenaries, man.]

[dragonflight]

[He laughs.]

Quick and to the point. I like it.

[ Not here. ]

[justamobster]

[ Ladon has no intention of interacting with someone who could compromise his secret so readily, so he's not dignifying this with any kind of reply.

But he's watching the reaction, and taking mental notes. ]

[dragonflight]

[ ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ]

[serpentis]

It generally depends on the reasoning, but I suppose there's little difference to some between murder and justified killing.

They do have odd sensibilities here, I will warn you. I planned a gala and no one seemed to appreciate the thought that an assassination could really liven up the evening. Dreadful.

[dragonflight]

Everyone does seem to be getting hung up on semantics!

[But that's fine, too. He learns what he wants to know, either way. Dorian's mention of sudden violence at a party also, naturally, piques his interest. He leans forward like a child hoping for a terrible bed-time story.]

And was someone assassinated?

[realhumanbeing]

That's terrible. Who told you that? Who were they talking about?

[dragonflight]

I don't know that he offered me his name. He simply told me that the lot of you had killed a dragon recently, and, well! That you were likely to continue pursuing such violent ends.

[mysunnydisposition]

[ Steph frowns into the camera, deeply dubious. ]

Who told you that? That's... not even a little true.

[dragonflight]

No? He was quite emphatic.

[princess_sparklefists]

[ Carol does not like his attitude about all this. On its own, it could be an innocent question. Combined with that too-bright smile... ]

I'm a soldier. Looks like there are a few mercenaries here, too.

The question is, why are you so interested?

[dragonflight]

[The smile stays fixed, but it's not quite unnatural--he really is honestly, genuinely excited.]

A soldier! Have you seen much of war?

[Conveniently skates past her question, with a tilt of his head and a gentle shrug.]

I'm really not here to talk about me.
