The monarchy was a universal constant, but that's not stopped the tournament from happening. The throne's been occupied by kings for all of our history, and now the leader'll be chosen by the people, because someone chose to make that change.
[ that's at home, but the metaphor (lol) matches. strohl plucks another keychain - Eupha from the stand, and catches it against his palm, a little showy drama for the sake of it. ]
I've no intention of dying here - but I'd rather die trying than die waiting. [ trying to make change. trying to stop injustice. ] Certainly more fun.
Monarchies have never been universal constants. Constants, maybe, but...
[ don't be rude to his lore that you don't even know you freak. ... but the showiness does actually make her grin a little. ]
The way these go? We don't have a lot of say in the matter. So we do what we want until we die. [ which, in his case, seems to be fighting the power. very nice, very cool. ]
Alright, listen, smarty-pants, not all of us have gone gallivanting around a universe or five.
[ she said three
anyway this is just teasing - it looks like he's going to toss the keychain at her head for a second, but he just mimes it and doesn't do it because he's not yet devolved into being a five year old, that's for when he and hulkenberg are in the same room ]
[ god he LOVES complaining. but also. he tilts his head, thinking... ]
I'll tell you about mine if you tell me one of yours. Suppose I owe you something for telling me about Basilio and Eupha, anyhow.
[ it's all good natured! so: ] Ours was a resort. Woke up on a train, or something, felt like we had been offered a vacation package and encouraged to go, and crash landed at a vacation resort. Key Nueve, it was called.
[ lightly, teasing - though, okay, he cannot resist complaining, because that goes away in a second and he groans. ]
Yeah, right up until the aforementioned crash landing - I thought a gauntlet runner had it rough, I didn't think I'd get over the stomach lurching for days.
That, and - it took barely a few days before people started dying. Not even by anyone else's hand, mostly. Someone's head blew up by an explosive. A couple others died on some sort of...ride.
Place was trying to kill us, mostly. But... no, someone did kill others. [ there's a frown on his face as he says this, a brief flash of something angry. ] Supposedly the place forced her to - gave her some odd premonition about it.
