Just voice testing a bit.

[Bad jokes aside, Luke is currently flailing and having an outright hissy fit of epic proportions. What do you do?]

It's not like I'm hiding from their military, just Kimlasca's.

[dreplica.livejournal.com]

...what the heck did you do?

[inlonelyexile.livejournal.com]

What the hell - I didn't do anything!

[dreplica.livejournal.com]

You had to have done something if you've got the military after you!

[inlonelyexile.livejournal.com]

It's not like I'll get arrested or anything! They'll just drag me back home or something, and I just really can't be there this year.

[dreplica.livejournal.com]

This year? What's so special about this year?

[inlonelyexile.livejournal.com]

[the year of the rabbit is incompatible with those born in the dragon year]

...

Kimlasca and Malkuth might go to war.

[dreplica.livejournal.com]

Yeah, no kidding. We're supposed to prevent that, you know.

[inlonelyexile.livejournal.com]

Well, that's what I'm trying to do!

[dreplica.livejournal.com]

How are you going to do that by staying in Malkuth! You may as well be saying, 'COME AND GET ME' to the Kimlascian military!

[inlonelyexile.livejournal.com]

You think I don't know that? They already -

Look, it's - war might break out if I stay in Malkuth, but if I go back, it definitely will break out, okay?

[dreplica.livejournal.com]

What, how? Can't you just explain to uncle what happened?

[inlonelyexile.livejournal.com]

I don't know how. And I don't think -

...Mother's the one who told me to go. If she thought it would work, don't you think she'd have spoken to Uncle already?

[dreplica.livejournal.com]

[Calms really quickly at that.]

Mother did...? But...

[Confuuuuused.]

[inlonelyexile.livejournal.com]

[shrugs]

I don't really get all of it myself, but that's how it is. I know first-hand that Malkuth really doesn't want war, but if it's slated to break out between us and Kimlasca, then that just leaves Kimlasca to be the...

[dreplica.livejournal.com]

Aggressors.

[arrrrgh...]

And you're okay with this? What about what Master Van said?

[inlonelyexile.livejournal.com]

Do I look okay with this? It sucks. But the war's supposed to start this year, so if we can just make it through without anything like that, then maybe...

[confused]

Master Van? I haven't seen him since I left home.

[dreplica.livejournal.com]

But Master Van told us... well, me, how to prevent war and become a hero.

[inlonelyexile.livejournal.com]

Really? Master Van did?

[looks torn]

I heard he was out looking for me, too... I wanted to go find him, I thought at least he would understand.

But I couldn't be sure, so... He's a really important guy in Daath, after all. [y'know. That place that worships the Score. The Score that foretells the war.]

[dreplica.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but it's Master Van. He'd never do anything to hurt us!

my irony metres are going off the charts

[inlonelyexile.livejournal.com]

I know he won't! It's just - I can't take any chances, if I mess up, I'm not the one who's gonna suffer for it. I'll just apologise to him next year, I guess. I'm sure he'll understand.

You're lucky that you have him looking out for you though.

pfffft XDD

[dreplica.livejournal.com]

Yeah... I just wish I could see him again. I want to go home already.

don't go into his parlour, little boys

[inlonelyexile.livejournal.com]

Well, I miss Mother... but Malkuth's not that bad.

lmao

[dreplica.livejournal.com]

How is it not bad? Jade's there.

[inlonelyexile.livejournal.com]

...well, okay, you have a point. But at least His Majesty keeps Jade in line. ...kinda. Sorta.

And no one bitches at me for talking to servants or hanging out at the barracks.
