[Lesson 18 - Voice Post]

[lady_bounty]

Okay, NEWS FLASH. Yes, I'm upset about the mistletoe thing, as everyone should be, but it's not because of the kissing. I'm going to assume whoever did this is merely stupid and not actively malicious, because ha ha, harmless funny joke... anywhere but here.

Your cute little joke is DANGEROUS.

Thing one, it's FREAKING COLD here. Someone could very easily get caught outside unawares, maybe they left their PDA in their other coat pocket, and then they FREEZE TO DEATH before anyone finds them.

More importantly, thing two- we don't have cuffs anymore and NOT EVERYONE HERE IS NICE. As evidenced by the recent probable kidnappings I'm sure you all have noticed. I don't know about you, but I don't appreciate being held immobile waiting for one of two hundred strangers to find me, any one of which could be an AXE MURDERER.

...So thanks a lot pal, way to think things through. I hope you come to your senses before someone gets hurt.

Wouldn't I gather that information with how you are speaking, not to menton by what I'm observing? I am not new at finding out infomation OR reading people: in fact, that's in my job description. Perhaps, before you come to your conclusions about me, you would like to know what I know?

Shoot. Read my fortune. Impress me.

[lady-azula.livejournal.com]

Reading people does not mean "read fortunes." I don't have any strange abilities like that. Even if I did, what interest would I have in impressing you? I'm the princess in my world, not to mention the better tactician in most senses of the word.

But if you want to know what I've observed, you can actually ask without any sarcastic pretense. I don't respond well to it. Several annoying persons liked to use it toward me with less than flattering results.

...Princess, huh? Figures.

If you're not interested in impressing me, Highness, then why all the posturing and showing off in practically every comment you've made in this conversation?

I'm not sure I can pull off asking without the sarcasm. If you want to tell me what you think you know about me, tell me. If you don't, then don't. I don't really care. I've had ample opportunity to interject and describe to you in detail why I'm actually hot shit, but I haven't. I don't know you, I don't really care what you think of me, and I see no reason to feel like I need to explain my actions to you. I have no interest in impressing you.

This conversation is beginning to bore. Do you have a good reason to be bothering me?

[lady-azula.livejournal.com]

You really are impatient. Of course, given the circumstances, I suppose its understandable.

If you really want to know why this conversation happened, its because I wanted to know what your mettle is. I have heard people who have wanted to escape this place, and most of them have been either unsuccessful or inflated on themselves. I have been that once, but ignoring a long story, we;ll simply say I've changed. In any case, the reason I'm engaging you in thsi conversation is because I want information, and am willing to give information as well.

I've fought the Entropi, yes. Not won, because they are strong, and I believe they'll strike back again. Soon. I am preparing for it with training of course, but it is necessary to have help: however, I am not exactly very keen on this Alliance. I've seen a few of these spring up unsuccessfully. There has been attempt at order before, usually resulting in failure.

You resemble me a little, enough that I want to know what it is YOU have planed. I am not demanding this information, as that will get us nowhere. I just want to know.

...Well, damn, if you're going to be reasonable, I suppose I can do the same.

I'm not adverse to discussing my plans, but I won't do it over the PDA. Saying that I have plans is one thing... as I said before, they already know I want out, but I'll be damned if I'll make it easy for them to figure out how.
