Lazlo's Confessionals - July

Jul 26, 2009 18:04

Lazlo is once again seated on the far side of a curtain dividing two comfortable chairs. Lamps decorate the windowless hold of the ship and light it enough for anyone to see their way - and for him to see nothing but a silhouette on the other side of the curtain. The confessional hours are now open.

Well, he did promise me they'd be anonymous...

You know, ever since I was a young boy.. I've been preparing myself for the fight of my life. I've thought about it a lot, how many ways it could end, but... I've never really thought about what happens after it's over. Where do I go from there? Is there more to this life? ...I'd never say this to her face, but there is a beautiful young woman here who I would like to share my victory with someday. I don't see myself as an openly affectionate person, though, so... I hope I don't defeat my enemy that soon.

........ *finds it odd saying all these things out loud for the first time*

...I should hope there's more to life, after something like that. It's good to have a goal, though.

Why won't you tell this woman anything?

trainer_juan July 27 2009, 21:16:57 UTC

Beats me, I was hoping you would be the expert. *laughs to himself* I suppose... it's because I've been resisting it for so long, it feels like I'll lose the moment I give in. Not very befitting of a guy who made a vow to win so many years ago, don't you think? Ah, dilemmas...

seacaptainlazlo July 27 2009, 21:55:10 UTC

W-well, I'm not really much of a love expert. But I like to see people reach for their goals and not give up, no matter what that goal is.

I suppose it's up to you to decide...what would make you happier. And then work to have it.

trainer_juan July 28 2009, 00:11:04 UTC

Perhaps there is no answer to this problem. But let's go back to my first one... what do you think a guy like me can aim for after I win my battle? I can't even remember what I wanted to be before all this, huh.

seacaptainlazlo July 28 2009, 00:36:41 UTC

Ah, well...hm. Would winning this battle give you some kind of trophy - not literally, I mean like a badge of honor or something - that you can use to promote yourself? It's hard, without knowing what kind of battle this is. Or whether you have some other interest in life that you haven't pursued yet.

*lies down like he's in therapy*

Hmm, for starters... It would restore my father's honour, it would give me peace of mind, it would... well, a lot of the rewards would be metaphorical, I suppose.

Not many things interest me, however, you would probably know that if you could see me. *yawns silently* You're not very helpful, are you?

seacaptainlazlo July 28 2009, 23:16:38 UTC

*has NO idea what's going on the other side of the curtain, and is rather puzzled at the sounds*

Well, um. Sometimes those are the rewards a person wants. Peace of mind is a lot more valuable than a lot of people think. I-if you don't have other interests, though, why not keep doing what you're doing?
