Will you or won't you

[attheclocktower]

Characters: Anybody and everybody
Setting: Floor 1, before noon
Summary: Riki's offered a way to help keep the Tower powered a little longer. Obviously this is going to cause a lot of discussion and debate so let's CONSOLIDATE
Warnings: Nothing as of yet. Possibly eventually, so keep an eye on subject lines and I 'll try to change to reflect any developments

[No doubt Riki's announcement would be polarizing, but the instructions themselves were clear: Floor 1 at noon if you want to help out. And if you want to meet people, try to talk them in or out of it? Or hell, maybe even just talk about the revelation on who is behind those explosions? Well, this is as good a place as any for that too.

Just remember to be careful near the staircase]

Think I'm going to agree with what Diarmuid would say to that.

[fionnuisce]

And that is...? I'm magic, not fucking psychic.

[midgarhorizon]

What do you think he'd say? He's your partner. Courage is something you have in spite of fear.

[fionnuisce]

He'd say I was being foolish and then we're back to the whole 'pedestal' argument again.

[midgarhorizon]

...Ah, ya had that argument? 'Splains why he was angry at me...

[fionnuisce]

If it makes you feel better, I think I managed to get through to him. But that was not an easy fucking conversation.

[midgarhorizon]

He sounded real bitter about it when I found him after the meeting.

[fionnuisce]

Admittedly, my disposition after the fight probably didn't help matters in general.

[midgarhorizon]

Both of ya have heads harder than granite. He thinks he's some kind of failed knight and you think you're some sort of coward. You two are perfect for each other.

[fionnuisce]

Ordinarily I'd argue, but I have to admit you've got a point.

[midgarhorizon]

And I'm no leader. So why don't we just have a huge damn party about it and celebrate?

[fionnuisce]

A miserable party of self-loathing? Sounds fun.

[midgarhorizon]

What I don't get is you people bitch and moan 'bout me saying things like that and get so desperate tryin' to prove I'm not that bad, and then you go and do the same goddamned thing. I don't have the guts to volunteer like you do. It ain't the fear that makes a coward, Waver, it's what you do, so you shut up. You're both stronger men than me.

[fionnuisce]

Why don't we compromise by agreeing we're all some degree of flawed human and not paragons of morality, leadership, or bravery?

[midgarhorizon]

I'm fine with that. What about him?

[fionnuisce]

Provided we live through this, I'll work on it. I can be persuasive when it comes to talking to idiot thickheaded knights.

[midgarhorizon]

I'll leave ya to it then...

[He pushes away from the wall and takes a few steps.]

I have a few people I need to check on.
