01 --> why say anything nice?

Looks like I'm going to be blurting out everything I remembered just like the rest of you idiots.

I come from the continent of Tellius. There were normal people like me there, but there were also stinking half-beasts we called sub-humans. Well, some people called them laguz. I guess that's the proper word. Anyway, they were half-animal, half-human, and they could take full animal forms to fight. Complete savages, basically.

Here's the confusing part. I was fighting alongside these smelly freaks as part of some Laguz Alliance. I don't get why. I must have been blackmailed or pressured into it. It's like some kind of stupid joke that this is the first thing I remember. It almost makes me sick to my stomach.

Something a little better--I learned that I'm a master archer. Probably the best on the continent. I always knew I was the best at something, but it feels good to figure out what, exactly.

((2% spent on sparse knowledge of Tellius, the laguz, and his fighting role in the Laguz Alliance.))

I don't suppose you happen to remember having a terminal case of Tourette's syndrome while you're at it? Because that would explain that entire monologue.

[snippysnipe]

I don't know if you've been paying attention, smart guy, but I'm not the only person here who's doing it. Think it's some kind of coincidence that everybody suddenly decided that today was the day they wanted to spill out all their dumb feelings?

[all_onis_are_true]

So what you're saying is that you DON'T usually talk like a self-entitled racist with all the charisma of a rock.

[snippysnipe]

I bet you'd have a harder time saying that with an arrow sticking in your throat. Care to see if I'm right?

[shineslightintodarkness]

[Ah, so this is the man that was assigned to his room. His attitude is unfortunately quite familiar to Rudolph]

Any reason why these Laguz are savages?

[snippysnipe]

They're beasts, pure and simple. Animals pretending to be men. They eat like animals, fight like animals and some of them can barely speak to words. That's why we call them sub-humans.

[shineslightintodarkness]

[Sound like wolfweres, but let's get some facts]

Are they - dangerous to people though?

[snippysnipe]

Of course. They're killers. Once they're in beast form, most regular people don't stand a chance. They get torn to shreds.

Then again, there are people like me who've probably killed dozens of 'em. But let's be honest, there aren't many people like me.

[trustycrowbar]

Thanks, Red, that sure was enlightening... You see any of these Laguz around here?

[In case they really are some kind of monster, and this guy isn't just an asshole.]

[snippysnipe]

I've seen a lookalike. Not any real ones, though.

[trustycrowbar]

A lookalike?

[snippysnipe]

She called herself a kitsune.

Definitely a half-beast, but she didn't look like any of the sub-humans from Tellius.

[nomen_est_numen]

Sigh.

"I can see you're going to be very unpopular here, and that no-one is really going to mourn that fact."

[snippysnipe]

[He looks surprised with who's speaking for a second or two, then his face just sours.]

Least of all me. Why exactly would I want to buddy up with a bunch of idiots, half-beasts and talking animals?

[nomen_est_numen]

"Oh, well, I could blather on about how far too many things that need done in this place require co-operation between the people doing them, but it would simply go in one ear and out the other, seeing as you've clearly no plans to change your rather odious outlook." He shakes his head. "I tire of this conversation already. You aren't even useful in your current state."

[snippysnipe]

Don't talk to me about "useful," chicken legs. You would probably be most useful served to somebody on a plate. And while we're on the subject of cooperation, if I had a choice, I'd rather team up with something I could pick out of my own ear. How's that for odious?

[stinglikeabat]

[Joachim deliberately transforms before responding. It's a matter of pride!]

You got something against fighting animals, ponytail?

[snippysnipe]

No. No problem at all.

[stinglikeabat]

You sure about that? Because it sure sounded like you did!

You know if you didn't wish to blurt out such things, you could have just turned your phone off. That's what I plan to do. [ Eventually. Once she's done gathering all of this juicy blackmail. ] So just do that instead of whining about it, geez. If people only thought through their problems instead of complaining, they might actually get something done!

[snippysnipe]

I'm not complaining.

This hasn't been a bad day. It's a good chance for me to learn the faces of all the idiots I can avoid from now on.

[gandere]

It sure sounds as though you were. It was enough to make me consider throwing my phone out the window, but I stopped because I thought it would be a much better idea to complain in return. Or maybe I didn't really think that part through because if I did, I would have not wasted my time.

Likewise.

Speaking of idiots you should avoid, there's a girl named Rin. You should stay away from her or else she'll have you talking in circles.

[not_good_not_wicked]

You've got a lotta bad opinions, don't you?

[snippysnipe]

Remind me to keep my mouth shut next time. It's not worth it. All of this whining is giving me a headache.

[not_good_not_wicked]

Can't help it. It's like my mouth has a mind of it's own!

[Not that she looks like she minds that much.]
