14th oath of the moment: Legion of One

[lunawolves10th]

11 PM, backdated to Wednesday night. Action 1, locked to 2237 Stevens Residents: [ Garviel awakens after a day of droning, and the awakening is not a gentle one. A yell of pain can be heard, and then silence, aside from his heavy steps as he descends the stairs of the home and swiftly armors himself in his Astartes plate without a word to anyone

...?

[Lancer's occasionally-used 'Something Is Not Quite Right' alarms were going off.]

Garviel? You look...a little different. Did something happen?

[riastrad_ridire]

Of course. I might be concerned if you weren't around to help me find a way out of here. I'd hate to take the credit all for myself.

[lunawolves10th]

You don't take much seriously, do you, Lancer?

[riastrad_ridire]

I find life wouldn't be quite as fun if I took myself all that seriously.

[lunawolves10th]

I wasn't aware life was supposed to be fun.

[riastrad_ridire]

It's whatever the hell you end up making it, Garviel.

[lunawolves10th]

I disagree. I chose honor, duty, and the destiny of mankind. Anything else is simply incidental or indulgent.

[riastrad_ridire]

Sure, all that's important. But that doesn't mean life has to be miserable otherwise.

[lunawolves10th]

Who said my life was miserable?

[riastrad_ridire]

Nobody. I was using the idea as an example.

[lunawolves10th]

My life is simply my life. Pleasure is immaterial.

[riastrad_ridire]

But as long as you're stuck living for so long, why not enjoy yourself once in a while?

[lunawolves10th]

You sound a lot like Tarik when you say that. I wasn't made for joy. if it happens in the prosecution of my duties I won't ignore it, but.... actively seeking it would be weird.

[riastrad_ridire]

Give it a try once in a while. Even if only to humor me.

[lunawolves10th]

I shall consider it. [ No he won't ]
