Kidnappings have started up again...So much for that.


If there were a training facility plotted out and planned, how many of you would help build it? I think if anyone who wants to use it helps with the construction, we can get the thing up in no time.

Also, anybody out there with military experience? Officers, secretarial; hell, even just field grunts. Anything at all.



[Private to Kadaj]

Might as well take advantage of this.

What are you planning, Kadaj?

Military; no, but my experiences as a Xei give me some knowledge as to being a very... loosely defined spec-ops unit, in a sense.

I figured as much, with the information retrieval you did.

[Filtered]

[denyingly.livejournal.com]

Yes, I imagine that would enforce the point.

...Despite this, however, I should probably note that the Xei, as well as the organization I work for now, believe quite firmly in Exitus Acta Probat, and we were given a tremendous amount of leeway in our actions so long as the 'job got done,' so to speak. I personally didn't abuse this freedom -- and still don't -- I'd like to think, but the fact remains that I am not used to rigid command structures as a result.

I doubt a rigid command structure would work here anyhow. Even if a working militia was established, everything would be so casual that it would border on a group of mercenary renegades.

Despite the best efforts of Mr. Silverberg and ... Mark, I believe his name was, I am somewhat inclined to agree. Mind you, a more hap-hazard force once destroyed the Sin Stones, so I can't complain...

Isn't that how it usually goes? Rag-tag group of heroes overthrows oppressive congolmerate?

[Filtered]

[denyingly.livejournal.com]

It seems to be a common tale here, actually. It amazes me... but no, that was not the case. It was more the case of a rag-tag group of degenerates defeats of subversive and secretive demonic coup before it ever really took off.

Not quite a paraphrase. But I get what you mean.

...Trust me when I say I get grief for my inability to paraphrase quite often.

Well don't worry about it.

So what should I call you, anyways? Suik or Seraphiel? Your wife called you Suik, didn't she?

[Filtered]

[denyingly.livejournal.com]

...Suik is my true birth-name, Mr. Strife. It's her privilege to call me by that name.

[Filtered]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

All these culture things over names...

Then I guess I'll stick with Seraphiel. Sorry if that was rude.

[Filtered]

[denyingly.livejournal.com]

No, no. It's just that it was... nn.

Yes, it would be best if you stuck to that name.

[Filtered]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

Don't explain. I have a feeling I don't want to know.

[Filtered]

[denyingly.livejournal.com]

It's really nothing, Mr. Strife.

If anything, it's because for a long period in my life I had my name taken from me.

[Filtered]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

If it's a painful subject, I really don't have to know. I didn't mean to pry.

[Filtered]

[denyingly.livejournal.com]

I will probably tell you some day, Mr. Strife.

Though I agree that now is not the time.

[Filtered]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

...all right. Seraphiel: espionage, special ops. I got you.

[denyingly.livejournal.com]

Excellent.
