Is... is this thing on? [Excuse the uh, distinct sound of someone tapping a screen like an old person.] Hello? Oh! There you are. Excellent.

So, now that we've gotten the world's-- sorry, the universe's biggest trust fall known to man and not-man, I think it's time we start popping the question. The real question. No hypotheticals, no, excuse me, [Dorian voice turning a pitch higher in imitation of... someone? Who knows. This is probably the collective voice of all of you. It's incredibly inaccurate.]

If I had the chance, I'd do it! They're a bad person! They killed hundreds of people, or... or one time they looked at me funny and they had shiny things galore! [ahem] We've all had drama against one another, with no real way of proving they're a terrible person other than the game of he said, she said, so! Let's get straight to it, shall we?

Have you, yes, you, killed someone or... something? Poof, gone, light left their eyes if they have them, turns out they're dead forever or it's like a five-minute deal. Whatever have you; it still counts if they stopped breathing.

If yes, why? Should we all expect a knife in our back? Get electrocuted to death? Be made to walk off a cliff? What are the qualifiers for this sort of thing, really? Personal vendettas? OR... perhaps you were playing the hero. [the deets, give the sweet deets.]

If no, well... I didn't think that far ahead, truth be told. You're more than likely surrounded by murderers, so... what's... a food you miss? Murderers can probably answer this as well, perhaps we'll find some sort of connection. [or, like, just listen to how many people you met have killed someone? have fun with that.]

Haha...if I ever get my hands on anything resembling pheasant, I'd be happy to share.

[In a strange way, this conversation is very enlightening and helpful, even if it's not a fun topic.]

Thank you for understanding. My country is at war, and my comrades and I fight every day. We often face mercenaries, noble soldiers...even terrorists. We're not exactly popular with everyone, and even my own home had been at risk before the Storm.

Haha...you're not wrong. Ouroboros has clashed with my friends and I more times than I'd like to count. If they were here, they might even prefer keeping me alive and toying with me to killing me. It's hard to say with minds like theirs.

[Isn't that a morbid thought? Terrorists are really the worst, though he can't say he wouldn't mind facing some of them in one-on-one combat. At least they're off the topic of killing. Gaius has now admitted to facing men with the intent to defeat and kill in battle, and he prefers leaving it that vague.]

I think this is a good opportunity for me to learn as much as I can. Just like there are different cities and cultures, there are now different worlds. I should make the most of that while helping the citizens however I can.

[ooc; Gaius using present tense is actually me not being used to describing worlds in past tense. /o/; Sorry if I slip up.]

that's fake news

Haha...their beliefs are a little tragic. It makes me think about my own. And it's true that there doesn't seem to be much conflict here, but old habits die hard. Part of my military training focused on how to help civilians with their every day life. I'd like to continue that here, at least while I have the time.

[He's not sure where he's going from all of this. He has his entire future to think about now.]

I'm sorry, I don't understand. My sort? And I don't believe I have your name yet, which might make it hard to keep you updated. [It wouldn't, he has the username, he's just being polite.] I'm Gaius Worzel.
