4th Step: On with the plan

[favorthebold]

You fools, why didn't you tell me that the alchemist boy was next in line? I could have finished it cleanly and no one would've been the wiser. What will you do if he makes it out?

If you think you cannot rely on me, the deal is off. I'll find my own way home.

Mm. But is it belief if you see it with your own eyes? It requires no faith.

And what is a Guardian?

[favorthebold.livejournal.com]

Hah. My only 'faith' is in Mithras and Fortuna. For everything else it's a useless word.

A Guardian is a warrior who is bound to a country, and has some ability to act on this bond.

[vile-queen.livejournal.com]

This is fair enough.

And are you a Guardian?

[favorthebold.livejournal.com]

I am.

[vile-queen.livejournal.com]

Fascinating. And of what country?

[favorthebold.livejournal.com]

None. My homeland is divided, and I am a law onto myself.

[vile-queen.livejournal.com]

So, then, of whom are you a Guardian?

[favorthebold.livejournal.com]

Of whomever has enlisted me. I've fought with the army of every country in Eloa in my days, but none of them are my country. The fighting's the only purpose of it.

So you operate as a gun for hire?

[favorthebold.livejournal.com]

Yes. It's a good life.

What determines what jobs you will take and who you will work for?

[favorthebold.livejournal.com]

I take any job that has some challenge to it, never mind who offers.

[[Private//Unhackable to Saul]]

[vile-queen.livejournal.com]

So it is a challenge you seek?

What do you think of the Animus and our current community leaders?

[[Private//Mostly unhackable to Carmen]]

[favorthebold.livejournal.com]

It is challenges I live for. Fortune favors the bold; no one ever succeeds who walks an easy path.


Those are difficult questions, doma. The spirits of this land have every right to do as they please, and I won't be the man to defy them. But community leaders... do we have them, really?

Life does become boring when things are easy.

You have every right to stop answering should you so desire, should the questions be too difficult. Some stand out more than others, but there is no one who has quite taken charge yet.
