Twenty Seventh Krieg - Phone/Action

[Phone]

[The mad giggling that fills the phonelines at first is overwhelming, taking the Major a moment to compose himself. When he speaks, he sounds content. Beyond content, almost wistful. There is just no denying that, beyond anything, the man is in a good mood.]From the day man crawled out of the stew of primal creation and onto the land,

As always, you seem pleased by the destruction. It is sad you truly believe that certain destruction is man's destiny, however.

Phone

[sturmbahnfurher]

It's inevitable, friend! All things end.

Re: Phone

[chaoschildofgod]

And you believe it must end with the decimation of all things?

[sturmbahnfurher]

Again, logic would dictate it to be the most likely possibility.

action

[notsaul]

What the fuck, what the fuck, what the fuck just happened!

[OH GOD SHE IS NOT READY TO DEAL WITH THIS SHIT RIGHT NOW oh

oh]

Okay, good, it's just you.

action

[sturmbahnfurher]

[Yeah, just laughing his ass off at that.]

Yes, indeed.

[Slowly, slowly putting a hand on the counter top to try and help pull himself up.]

It seems this town has a sense of humor after all!

[notsaul]

You just, like, got shot in the fucking eye.

That shit's hilarious. [But she's not laughing. Just staring at him, looking a bit dazed.]

Did you just, like... Shoot yourself? That's fucking stupid.

[sturmbahnfurher]

[He's finally standing up. Hm. He supposes he should get to the hospital. When he can think straight.]

No, the picture I got in the mail shot me.

Phone

[doctor_tyrant]

... Well, we've been together for a while until we parted ways. It was... difficult to survive, unfortunately.

Treaties from conferences have no restraints over those cannibals from tearing apart a medic. But what do those matter in the end of the world?

[He seems a little shaken up. The Major might notice that the Doctor's voice is a little quieter than normal, but he certainly isn't ready to whimper like a coward. No, the Doctor has much to do before he's ready to allow the world to take his life.]

I'm delighted to see that you're in good spirits as ever, Major.

Phone

[sturmbahnfurher]

Indeed, what do they matter? The cannibals certainly were quite thorough in their killing, weren't they?

[Sorry Doctor. He likes you, you're his pal, but he just can't imagine how you can't see the beauty of all that, even if you do end up dying in the end.]

How should I not be? It was quite a wonderful holiday.

Re: Phone

[doctor_tyrant]

[He laughs a little, or at least, attempts to as usual.]

Yes. I don't doubt that they ate every bit of meat stuck to my bones. Ravenous fellows. But... if I may be honest with you for a moment, my friend?

[As a man who pursues the gruesome despite fearing it, the Doctor can appreciate what had went on in the ruined world. He may have been killed in the most brutal way possible, but he will still work to control it. There is beauty in it, but unlike the Major, the Doctor still has fears.]

... This is... the very first time that I've been so afraid.

[His tone picks up through excitement as he utters that final word. His voice betrays no conventional fear, but an obsessive fascination. The Doctor's lips curl up into a smile behind the other line and his eyes widens as he remembers the terrors of being eaten alive by fellow men.

What he appreciates from war and devastation is a different type of beauty than that of the Major.]

Phone

[sturmbahnfurher]

[The Major pauses for a moment.

And then roars with laughter before responding.]

I see! I see!

Being a man of science, of discovery....certainly, that must be fascinating!

[phone]

[heteropennae]

Why... would anyone choose to create a world like that?

[phone]

[sturmbahnfurher]

As a testament to our existence, to our will.

Were you not listening?

[phone]

[heteropennae]

To whose will. Humanity? Another power?

[phone]

[sturmbahnfurher]

Man's, of course! We alone built our civilizations. We alone will destroy our civilizations with our own hands.

And the means by which we will destroy it? Will be beautiful.

[decadenzas]

I'd think the message was the exact opposite of that. Lucy seemed adamant on insisting that such a fate was not meant to be met within the boundaries of this town. Not one that would last, at any rate.

phone;

[sturmbahnfurher]

Well. I suppose just between you and me Charles?

I really could give a rat's ass about her wishes.

Couldn't you?

phone;

[decadenzas]

I don't care much for what she has to say, no, and I find her irritating as well.

But that doesn't change the fact that she's pulling most if not all of the strings for the duration of our stay.

phone;

[sturmbahnfurher]

Oh, I will agree with that.

But destruction here, with the people she's drawn in, is inevitable. If she truly wished for whatever she wanted, she'd simply drone all of us.

I don't know her game quite yet, but I am intrigued by the split between what she says and what she does.
