[Those who are on the battlefield, or more accurately at the base during a non-combat time, will notice one of the fighters outside, kneeling out of the way of foot traffic before a strange plaque made of wood. It's in the shape of a grave ( Read more... )

even temporary deaths deserve graves, mourning the fallen, she talked to ceodore

[It's during one of those occasions Goroh is dealing with the battle... by means of a slow smoke. He happens to notice Lyndis's grave, but it's not until he's behind her he sees the words.]

That just for us or the losing side too?

[She turns her head to him as soon as she speaks, but it takes a long while for her to answer.]

... Them too, I suppose. There aren't any enemies or allies in death, and by the time they revive they won't be threatening us any more.

[Well, he ain't going nowhere.]

For now. Brutal folk like that, they ain't gonna give up on wiping us out on account of dying. They'll be back for another round.

I suppose that's true. Still, I'll keep my answer. I won't speak ill of the dead, even if the death is going to be undone.

[Action] moonlightoutlaw July 31 2010, 01:15:52 UTC

... aye. Fair point. Mind if I pay my respects?

[Action] upontheplains July 31 2010, 01:19:06 UTC

Of course not. [She scoots a bit to the side, offering him a bit of space to kneel.]

[Action] moonlightoutlaw July 31 2010, 01:22:06 UTC

[He doesn't kneel. He just takes his flask, unscrews the lid, and pours a small amount of liquor on the grave.]

Here's to the rest of you. May your next life end better than this one did.

[She's seen this style of honoring the dead before, now that she thinks about it. Mostly among career soldiers and mercenaries.]

I'm sure they appreciate that particular sentiment.

[Action] moonlightoutlaw July 31 2010, 01:38:16 UTC

Hrm, if you believe in that sort of thing. [He takes a step back from the grave now.]

[Action] upontheplains July 31 2010, 01:40:25 UTC

Even if you don't, I'm sure they will when they return.

[Action] moonlightoutlaw July 31 2010, 01:42:51 UTC

Possibly. You're Team C, right?

[Action] upontheplains July 31 2010, 01:49:58 UTC

That's right. Lyndis. [She gives him a questioning look, as if asking "and you?".]

[Action] moonlightoutlaw July 31 2010, 01:52:20 UTC

Samurai Goroh, Team D. Or just Goroh. I've seen you out there fighting. [From the cockpit of his future car.]

[Action] upontheplains July 31 2010, 02:23:16 UTC

Did you? I must have missed you out on the field. [Or just not been able to tell who was in that strange flying vehicle.]

[Action] moonlightoutlaw July 31 2010, 02:25:36 UTC

I was the one in that purple streak that went by you a few dozen times.

[Action] upontheplains July 31 2010, 02:28:18 UTC

That airborne... er, craft? [She's clearly stumbling over her words here, having absolutely no idea what to call his ship.]
