[private//not very heavily screened because Duo just doesn't really care]Wow... couple people disappear and others get upset... maybe overreact a bit... and everyone gets pissy. Yeah, so I'm not exactly the model of indifference here and I'm guilty a tantrum or two myself, but at least I didn't destroy half the city block

I did not destroy half a city block.

1/2

[deaths_pilot]

2/2

[deaths_pilot]

Okay, okay... so I exaggerated. But, still... at least I kept my destructive fit inside my own apartment.

Re: 2/2

[yeah_i_can_fly]

I can't afford to destroy anything inside my apartment. Half of that equipment is more value than most of the lives in this pathetic dump. Not all; just most.

Besides. Somehow I doubt you have access to the kind of power I do.

[deaths_pilot]

Good to know how you feel about people.

And I don't... anymore.

[yeah_i_can_fly]

Isn't it all so very comforting on the inside? [/sarcasm]

[pause; he's accessing saved data on his PDA, going through written files accumulated on the residents here] ...You're one of the "Gundam" pilots. It would be interesting to take one of those monstrosities apart.

[deaths_pilot]

Psh... whatever.

Good thing they're not here, then... 'cuz I doubt you'd be the only one... and those are messy things in the wrong hands.

[yeah_i_can_fly]

One of your friends sent me the plans to make an energy beam sword. Very interesting. The object that wields one surely wouldn't be any less fascinating to study. [pause] I could make one. An energy sword. Then, how much like a deathly knight would I look?

*snorts*

Dunno if you could make one small enough... they take a lot of power, and the only way it could be generated was from something that big.

Mine had a scythe... would be nice to have...

[yeah_i_can_fly]

I assure you--I have already worked out the theoretical plans to build such a device. Along with the technology I could get out of the alien Sangheili here... I know it can be done.

In fact, I doubt I'd even need the alien's tech. My sketches are perfect based on what little your double gave to me to begin with. (Which was not much, mind you.)

That would be an easy adjustment to make.

[deaths_pilot]

*suddenly intrigued*

Really?

[yeah_i_can_fly]

Truly.

[deaths_pilot]

That's kinda cool...

[yeah_i_can_fly]

And here I thought you'd almost beg to have one. No, I suppose not. Not your "style."

[pause] But it's better that way. I presume you do want one? Or would?

[deaths_pilot]

Beg...? Psh. Yeah, I'd like one, but if I gotta demean myself for it, it ain't worth it... and I wouldn't really be worthy of it, now, would I?

[yeah_i_can_fly]

[unamused] My point in a nutshell.

I have no other demanding projects at the moment. I might as well play around with something reasonably useful... though I doubt it would do anything but power our captives.
