Log;
Two mashed together revolutions have just broken out in the City tonight. There's yelling, and violence, and fires, and a march on important City buildings. It's not particularly organised. Everyone seems to just be acting as loud and noisy as possible.

One question remains: are you hiding from the riot, or are you a part of it?

Axl. [His expression melts to a sadder one.] What else is there? Doing as they say? Being subject to their whims? I see thee nay!

[friggmagnet]

And you think violence and property damage is going to make them anything other than way more pissed and likely to take it out on everyone?

[doeswhathewants]

Axl, Axl, thinking of the effects if we lose is as good as saying we cannot succeed.

[friggmagnet]

You already have lost.

[He's not really mad at Serrure, just disappointed. He's taking his sword and pent up anger elsewhere.]

I'm helping stop this before anyone else gets hurt.

[doeswhathewants]

Have we? The true battle's not yet begun.

[But oh god, Axl, Axl. Don't be disappointed in him. Nooo, anything but that.]

[friggmagnet]

You lost when people on your side started getting hurt.

[doeswhathewants]

Is that not what happens in a war? I do not wish for it to happen, but they choose to side with us and accept the chance that harm might befall them.

[friggmagnet]

Yeah. And what did you expect to happen?

[doeswhathewants]

[In truth he'd not really thought about it.]

I had thought they would meet us for proper terms of surrender on their part. Or that the entire City would have joined in on this chance. I am disappointed in my fellow prisoners.

[friggmagnet]

[Case in point right there.]

You're disappointed that an entire population of people aren't willing to die for your idea you didn't think through? Yeah, hard to see how that could ever go wrong.

[doeswhathewants]

But that is the point, Axl. They aren't meant to die, only to show a united front. What is there otherwise? Life. But harm, harm through the curses.
