[The first thing heard when the Forge clicks on is the sound of footsteps. The owner of this Forge is walking about the city, apparently.

[A quiet 'hmmm' sound] Does anyone know how approximately how much one of the burnt out buildings would cost?

[He's only got about two weeks left in his room, and as much as he's prepared to go back to living ( Read more... )

You're going to need to be more articulate than that. What is it now?

If I knew the answer, do you think I would have bothered asking.

[voice] coquettescythe November 14 2009, 08:28:13 UTC

You're asking the wrong questions again.

... Rome. Rome! Come on, everyone and their mother knows Rome! [Sighs] Yes, entertainment. They weren't really warriors, those gladiators. Or some might have been. But for sure, there were common no-battle-training people who fought in the arena. For entertainment~

What the hell does that mean?

I asked the same questions you asked me.

I've never heard of it. [And if it were video, Spirit would see his scowl darken to an even deeper grimace.]

Lovely. People watched others die for entertainment. [You can tell he sounds pissed.] Bet they wouldn't be so damn cavalier if they knew the combatants...

[A slightly exasperated huff before his tone goes grim again.]

I don't see you coming up with any useful information.

[And then he is silent for a minute or two because that...that hits home. There's a lot of blood on his own hands, and for a while, he had convinced himself he was doing it in the name of god.

He's suddenly grown uncomfortable with the topic and when he speaks, his voice shakes, just slightly.]

L-Let's change the subject.
