Erm, Saix?

[ninelivesbaby]

It was Saix, wasn't it? I mean, you're "the Seventh" these guys follow, yeah?

One of your Berserker dudes is kinda lost, man. Found him shuffle-dragging around camp. You wanna come pick him up or something?

... What?

Are you certain?

[ninelivesbaby.livejournal.com]

This, yeah? This is what's currently looking kinda lost in my camp.

[lunarxeffected.livejournal.com]

...wonderful.

What is it doing at this moment?

[ninelivesbaby.livejournal.com]

...right now? Some of the guys are trying to teach him poker.

[lunarxeffected.livejournal.com]

... Please tell me you're joking.

[ninelivesbaby.livejournal.com]

Huh? No, I'm not joking at all, man. They're going on the basis that this guy has the king of all poker faces.

[lunarxeffected.livejournal.com]

... Dare I ask how he's fairing?

[ninelivesbaby.livejournal.com]

Actually...hang on, I'll go ask...

...okay...apparently he's winning.

[lunarxeffected.livejournal.com]

...why does this not surprise me?

[ninelivesbaby.livejournal.com]

...because you already know that your Berserkers are poker wizards, and you actually have a business on the side where you use them to reap huge winnings so that you can retire in the Bahamas?

[lunarxeffected.livejournal.com]

...

No, I don't believe that would be why. Though this new revelation is quite entertaining. Perhaps I should leave him to you for a while longer.

[ninelivesbaby.livejournal.com]

...really? I kinda thought you'd want him back. I mean, what the hell is he doing here anyway?

[lunarxeffected.livejournal.com]

Perhaps. To leave him for too long would be foolish if he's to be of any use. He's far less capable of control.

I can assure you, he isn't meant to be there. Perhaps he simply took it upon himself to visit.

[ninelivesbaby.livejournal.com]

...they can do that? I thought you controlled them.

[lunarxeffected.livejournal.com]

To a degree. They're hardly the most mindless creatures out there, and they're trained well.

They're named equally well.

[ninelivesbaby.livejournal.com]

...Berserkers. Right. ...so when are you coming to get him?

[lunarxeffected.livejournal.com]

How observant. Don't worry, he should be aware enough not to do anything terribly damaging. Well, unless something provokes him.

Very soon.

[ninelivesbaby.livejournal.com]

...what do you count as "terribly provoking"?

[lunarxeffected.livejournal.com]

I would suggest you don't attack him, at the very least.

[ninelivesbaby.livejournal.com]

...well we figured that much when we saw the fuckin' great sword...

[lunarxeffected.livejournal.com]

Good for you. Not all are quite so observant.

[ninelivesbaby.livejournal.com]

...yeah. So what else counts as provoking? I mean, if he loses the game, he's not gonna start takin' heads, right?

[lunarxeffected.livejournal.com]

Doubtful, given the emotion it would take to take offense to such. That kind of reaction is not likely to register.

Though who knows for certain?
