⚔ 6th Battle [Voice]

[l33tshushuhero]

[Grovy died. And it wasn't exactly a heroic death either. He sits there on his bed for a while, pounding the wall over and over again with his fist, mentally berating himself for how stupidly he had to die. He was never afraid of dying. He was afraid of dying as a lame, second-rate hero... which was what had just happened. No fanfare, no noble

*Marco remembers this shirt...thing. He's not really sure what it was doing in the library, but he can guess. He listens to Sadly's post but doesn't bother to reply. He just shows up and knocks at the door, holding the shirt and still sporting a pair of mirrorshades.*

[l33tshushuhero]

[He opens the door and frowns. What is with those weird glasses thingies you're wearing? But he doesn't say anything as he reaches for the shirt.]

... Thank you.

[ntjstapwn]

*There's a good reason for them, but Marco really doesn't want to go into it. Which is why they're there, really.
He hands the shirt over, studying Sadly as he does. Kid seems normal.*

No problem. You okay?

[l33tshushuhero]

[Grovy turns over his shirt to see if it's ripped or anything. Nope. That's good. At that question, though, he shows no reaction.]

I'm still alive.

[ntjstapwn]

*Or alive again, at least.*

Mind if I ask what happened?

[l33tshushuhero]

[What happened? He screwed up his image as a hero, that's what happened. He's a failure, a loser, a lame-o knight. He averts his gaze.]

Nothing. I just... got carried away.

[ntjstapwn]

*Marco gives him a sympathetic smile. He actually feels sorry for the kid; death, especially your first death, is never easy to deal with.*

Yeah, I've done that a few times before.

[l33tshushuhero]

[He looks up.]

I... [And he almost says his screw up. But he catches himself and turns around.]

I'll be more careful next time. Less 'Iop-y.'

[ntjstapwn]

*Hopefully this will keep him from doing stupidly dangerous things.*

I'm sure. No one wants to repeat that sort of thing...

*He sighs, then raises an eyebrow*

'Iop-y?'

[l33tshushuhero]

[yeeeeeah not really likely there. Live and don't learn, that's how it sorta works.]

Stupid. [So bluntly.]

[ntjstapwn]

*There were entirely too many people like that on this damned boat.*

Oh. Well, you're back. You can take steps to make sure it doesn't happen again.

[l33tshushuhero]

[He sighs.]

I... I'll try.

[ntjstapwn]

That's all anyone can do.
