[Lancer looks a little different today. Well, a lot different. He's in a simple suit with a lazily done-up tie, and his hair is apparently a scruffy mess.]



So it's been a while since I got kicked out of the gym here. And the chick in the kimono seemed pretty intent on never lettin' me back in... But I figure I can get in like this, challenge her, set everything on fire, and get out before she realizes I'm the same guy. Easy enough.

I'm just gonna take Liath Macha, Dub Sainglend, and Olldóiteán--wait out here, Scathach.

[The camera shook slightly, like the dragon holding it in her mouth just nodded.]

Right, gimme like fifteen minutes. [He walked into the gym, and there was a pause--two or three minutes, and then there was an amount of noise that suggested all was not quite well.]

What--hey, wait a second-...waitwaitwaitwait can't we talk about this--?!

[The sound of a Jumpluff cut him off, followed by one scruffy Lancer chucked out the nearest open window to land right in front of his Deino and the still-running Pokegear.]

...I hate this city.

Over my dead crow-infested body.

Well, I suppose it is up to you, although I imagine it would make things rather easier.

I'm not apologizing until hell freezes over, the sky opens up, and Samildánach himself descends to slap me in the face.

You seem to feel rather strongly about the issue.

[riastrad_ridire]

Apologizing implies you regret something, and I hate it when people waste their lives on regret.

I don't say I'm sorry unless I think I really screwed up, or if someone's important enough to deserve it. Both of which are pretty damn rare.

[dreamsofahero]

So you don't regret giving offense to someone, whether intended or not?

[riastrad_ridire]

Depends. Did they deserve it?

[dreamsofahero]

Well, there certainly are those individuals who do, undoubtedly, but in most cases I'd imagine probably not.

[riastrad_ridire]

I don't run around pissing people off unless they deserve it, so that's not really a situation that'd come up.

[dreamsofahero]

Oh? So you're saying the lady in the gym you speak of deserved it...?

[riastrad_ridire]

I was just flirting with them. It's a compliment, I don't see what their problem is.

[dreamsofahero]

Perhaps they misunderstood your intentions?

[riastrad_ridire]

Women seem to do that a lot.

[dreamsofahero]

Oh? Perhaps you should look to see if there's some sort of theme or denominator common to all those interactions that could be corrected...

[riastrad_ridire]

...nothin' I can think of.

[dreamsofahero]

Oh? Well, there's at least one thing, come to think of it...

[riastrad_ridire]

What's that?

[dreamsofahero]

Yourself, of course.
