Guest Speaker Kivar [2/21] stargazer_ellie February 21 2007, 13:51:11 UTC

Please to be waiting for him to tag in.

A tall, good-looking man leaned against the edge of the desk in the front of the room.

"Good Morning," he said, looking over the class and finding himself vaguely disappointed when he didn't see who he was looking for. "I am Kivar of Antar. The legitimate ruler of the planet, despite the claims of those who believe otherwise."

"What questions do you have? I'm certain I have the answers."

Re: Guest Speaker Kivar [2/21] multiplez February 21 2007, 20:02:14 UTC

Z raised her hand and asked, "Can I have your number? So, why are you legit and not the other guy? And what's his, her, or its claim to the throne?"

Re: Guest Speaker Kivar [2/21] ec_npc February 21 2007, 20:26:11 UTC

"I hold the throne," Kivar replied smoothly. "I believe you have an expression here? About possession being the law?"

Re: Guest Speaker Kivar [2/21] multiplez February 21 2007, 20:31:45 UTC

"Yes, but if you possess something and you stole it you're still a thief." A fact Z knew well. "Of course, I don't know enough about the situation to say if anyone stole anything. Which is why I'm asking for more details."

"The previous ruler was a bit of a free thinker," he said, steepling his fingers together. "He decided that change was needed. Unneccessary change at that. It set off a war that ultimately resulted in his death. Unfortunately that didn't end the war as a few misguided fanatics insist on fighting in his name in the vain hope that somehow he'll return to save them one day."

Re: Guest Speaker Kivar [2/21] multiplez February 21 2007, 23:58:59 UTC

"And you would be more of a...conservative?"

Re: Guest Speaker Kivar [2/21] ec_npc February 22 2007, 00:03:34 UTC

"I believe in upholding tradition," Kivar replied.

Re: Guest Speaker Kivar [2/21] multiplez February 22 2007, 00:46:12 UTC

"What kinds of traditions would those be?"

Re: Guest Speaker Kivar [2/21] ec_npc February 22 2007, 00:58:05 UTC

"That everyone has their place in society. Their own specific role to fill. Confusion in roles can cause upheavel, turmoil. It would be bad for a society," he explained.

Re: Guest Speaker Kivar [2/21] multiplez February 22 2007, 01:11:23 UTC

"Are we talking about 'everybody's got something they're good at, and for some people it's burger-flippin'' or 'caste system, yay!'?" Z asked him.

Re: Guest Speaker Kivar [2/21] ec_npc February 22 2007, 01:15:41 UTC

"That would be a part of it," Kivar nodded. "Although if you show the right apptitude there's always room for advancement. But I was refering more to gender roles."

Re: Guest Speaker Kivar [2/21] multiplez February 22 2007, 01:17:34 UTC

Z knew there was something about this guy she didn't like. "Ew, no."

Re: Guest Speaker Kivar [2/21] ec_npc February 22 2007, 01:23:56 UTC

Kivar smiled and shrugged. "It works for us and that is all I'm concerned with."

Re: Guest Speaker Kivar [2/21] multiplez February 22 2007, 01:25:16 UTC

Man, there was nothing quite like insular aliens. "Obviously not everybody agrees with that, though, or you wouldn't have had a war," Z pointed out.

Re: Guest Speaker Kivar [2/21] ec_npc February 22 2007, 01:40:58 UTC

"The war began because an idiot boy decided he knew what was best," he replied, showing the slightest bit of temper. "It continues because of misguided fanatics and the interference of other planets in our system. If Zan had not been such a fool, none of this would have happened."
