Sixteenth Krieg - Action/Voice

[sturmbahnfurher]

Action. Locked to 1667 Nelson

[Well it's breakfast time at the Major's household and, as usual, the Major has been making a simple, but adequate breakfast. Waffles, eggs, some hashbrowns. Oh. And there's a nice jug of milk for you this morning with your breakfast when you get up, Usagi

If you're going to make unnecessary emphases, don't accentuate the same word twice in two sentences. It's redundant.

[sturmbahnfurher]

My my, you are a most harsh critic, Fraulein Sto Helit.

[deaths_heritor]

I'm an English teacher. Being contrary is part of the occupation.

And I seem to recall you saying something earlier, what was it? That if I had something to say, I ought to just say it?

[sturmbahnfurher]

Ah. I was unaware of your occupation. My condolences.

Indeed I did! I hardly said I had a problem with you being a harsh critic, now did I?

[deaths_heritor]

I was referring more to your original speech. The very interesting one with the questions, you know; it's almost as if you were implying something.

[sturmbahnfurher]

My, perhaps I was!

Tell me, what do you believe I was implying?

[deaths_heritor]

That you're more than slightly obnoxious, I think.

Oh, sorry, we're still not saying what we want to say, right. But I don't think either of us entertain the delusion that the town couldn't crush us all at any moment if it wanted to.

[sturmbahnfurher]

[Just laughter at that. Utterly genuine too, no hint of it being forced coming out in it at all.

Oh, he knew he liked you, Susan.]

True. However, it had never before shown any inclination of using the drones as actual troops before, or am I incorrect?

[deaths_heritor]

If you think the town is collecting us to conduct some sort of warfare, the same point stands in opposition. Why wait until now, after so many months of play?

[sturmbahnfurher]

Not so much, I must admit. I doubt they're collecting us for warfare. The town and those who run it seem content to isolate themselves from the rest of whatever might remain of the world, if anything.

I'm simply attempting to figure out the purpose of it, and I believe it might merely be one of the town's forms of defense in case there was some kind of invasion. An outdated one, perhaps.

As to why it's doing it now? I neither know or care.

[deaths_heritor]

The purpose, as usual, is to sow death and chaos and hurt feelings all around. It will take a month to sort through the 'you murdered my brother's and the 'forgive me I do not deserve to live's, and by then, it will be time for the next round of stunts. Keeping us firmly from accomplishing anything useful.

...

Although I suppose there may be some merit to your idea.

[sturmbahnfurher]

That's the purpose it's being put to now. I doubt it's the purpose it was always mean to have.

Of course there is.

[deaths_heritor]

You do delight in finding war in everything. At the risk of sounding boorish, so what?

[sturmbahnfurher]

So nothing. It simply is what it is.

[deaths_heritor]

...

And here I was awaiting your diabolical conclusion with bated breath. Serves me right.

[sturmbahnfurher]

I could espouse the joys, the wonder, the beauty of war endlessly.

To you who already know how I feel, however, it would be pointless.
