[To anyone who met the other Lightning, this one might be a surprise. She's wearing torn and bloody clothing. She's also still covered in her own blood, though any signs of actual injury is gone.]

I thought I made it clear the last time..

I'm done doing another God's, or Gods, bidding.

[Been there, done that. Ended up dead because Cosmos

[broduil]

There are many who feel the same way, though their efforts have amounted to little so far.

[destinytofall]

If they didn't get far, then they should try harder.

[broduil]

Then perhaps you could provide a better example.

[ not that he's trying actively to escape, but he vaguely supports those who are. ]

[destinytofall]

Have they tried fighting a first hand?

[Not that she actually fought Chaos by herself, or ever. It was always his warriors or those manikins...]

[broduil]

Many are reluctant to fight at all, now that their powers have been taken from them.

'Taken from them'?

[The words echo from her mouth as she stares at him blankly. Lightning scoffs suddenly, her gaze shifting to the side.]

Is that how they plan to keep us under their thumbs? By making sure we no longer have an edge against them?

[broduil]

Indeed, that seems to be their plan. You'll likely find you still possess some kind of weakened ability, however-- I myself possess greater speed than a normal person, though far reduced from what it was before coming here.

[ he has nothing to hide, really, so there's just a shrug before he continues. ]

At the very least, this place has yet to prove dangerous at all. Whether it will remain so I cannot say, but I imagine harming us would serve little purpose.

[destinytofall]

It’s probably the calm before the storm.

[The disasters and chaos probably haven’t gotten started yet, officially. It’s just like… that time when she chose to fight alongside the Warrior-to see his worth-after meeting everyone for the first time since her summoning.]

Let me get this straight, they take our powers away, only to give us a new one? Why?

[broduil]

That, I do not understand. Though I have seen several different abilities so far, none of them appear to be terribly advantageous-- it seems these gods do not intend for us to pose a threat to them, regardless of their motives.

[ though he totally has to agree with that calm before the storm statement. he's keeping an eye out, man. ]

[destinytofall]

Or we don't mean anything for them except as pawns for whatever game they're playing.

[broduil]

You suspect there is more to this situation than what we have been told, then?

[ not that he sounds like he disagrees, it's more just curiosity. he kind of feels the same way, much as he'd like to believe they're just here to help restore some colour. ]
