I don't either, Lancer. Though if we were to let these people turn us against our friends through empty promises and threats, we wouldn't be able to be called friends in the first place, now would we?
You remind me of someone... it's a little quaint. However, being boisterous as you are will only hasten your temporary exit from this place... and brawling is, for lack of a better term, not all of our strong points.
[His voice draws a little higher, then, an edge of excitement to it.]
You're also assuming, of course, that your opponent will be a man. Perhaps it will be interesting to watch from the darkness while your walls come tumbling down.
I wonder if you'll succumb to fear the way so many do...
If it hastens my departure from this world, then so be it. I would give anything to clash blades with the finest of warriors of all worlds and ages.
[a laugh] Oh, so you're one of those guys who wishes to hide in the shadows like a coward instead of coming out to clash blades with the rest of us. I don't think I'm the one who has to worry about succumbing to fear here.
It won't. [Above all else, he sounds gravely certain of that.]
Hide in the shadows? Absolutely not. However, I am a doctor, sir 'King of Conquerors'. Being on the front lines, particularly without a few... bolsters would be suicide for someone as slight-framed as I. Perhaps you will understand after a few thousand years of life. [If you expected any change in voice, Rider, you're talking to the wrong man. This one, in fact, sounds almost bored.]
However, I would watch from afar more because you, like any male, are not my current target.
How bold of you to declare such. Though I assure you, someone who has no qualms killing an innocent will get what they deserve. There is no victory in such action.

Of course not. There's others here that are important to us. Friends who we'd hate to see killed. Friends who we would give our very lives to protect.

...on the other, do any of us really want to risk their safety because of a stupid guess?

Hey, what's this about a Battle Royale?

Yep! That's the only way to solve a situation like this, don't you think?

Honestly, most heroes from my world are against killing and stuff... but my dad pretty much taught me that it's all a part of the great food chain.
[Mart sees a package addressed to him. He picks it up and opens.]
Oh man... I just get ehre and already they want me to off somebody.

I only kill those that stand in my way and spit in the face of the offer to join me in my conquest. Victory without Ruin. Defeat without humiliation.

You called yourself a king, didn't you? Why are men like you always in charge?
