Domino 18 [Video]

[onehandsomeslickninja]

Before I came here, the residents of the train chose a Council.

They chose unwisely.

You ask me to bend my knee to an unworthy leader, one who you have chosen for me. I will not. If my refusal to swear allegiance to one not of my land, not of my clan, and not of my choice is objectionable to you, then now is the time to bring your complaints to me. I await them.

[There is hot anger, and there is cold anger. This is cold anger. It brings out the formality in Edge as few things can.]

Let's see how this train is truly run.

That makes a great deal of sense. Fear and an unwillingness to allow others to make their own choices.

[themasterthief]

I was thinking more along the line of fear of the unknown. For instance: what the train or it's conductors might do. But I suppose that probably plays a part, too, in conjunction.

[onehandsomeslickninja]

Same thing. Being afraid and enforcing your fear on others.

[themasterthief]

Not really. But I can see where someone here might be doing that.

[onehandsomeslickninja]

Well, if I want to fight, and someone says, "no, you'll get hurt", what else could that be? For example.

[themasterthief]

A lot of things. I get the feeling you've already narrowed it down to that particular point though so let's not beat around the bush.

[onehandsomeslickninja]

Whereas I get the feeling you're willing to dismiss someone trying to order us around contrary to our best interests and natures because you intend to just hang quiet.

[themasterthief]

No, I intend to ignore him because I don't care about anyone but myself. And I don't have an issue in the first place.

[onehandsomeslickninja]

At least you're honest.

Makes me wonder what you're doing here, but I have no idea anyway so it's not much of a wonder.

[He's going to get in trouble at some point, or do nothing worth getting in trouble over. One way or the other, the issue affects everyone, as Edge sees it. But he can't convince anyone of that, apparently.]
