"I found the actual combat skills displayed recently at these so-called persona fights somewhat lacking. You may understand how to use your sorcerous.... things, but if you need to learn how to fight with bullet, blade, mind and hand, seek out Cerberus. I shall instruct you on how to not completely embarrass yourself when asked to fight."

You have never heard of the angels of death? Space Marines? The Legiones Astartes?

[gforceinmyfaaaace]

SPACE MARINES? Oh man, they are awesome! I mean, they sound awesome anyway. I don't know how they hold up against space pirates, as I've actually met them. Man, they are tough! But so cool!

[greyerrant]

That is a common reaction.

[gforceinmyfaaaace]

...but no, I'm not a Space Marine. I'm just an angel.

[greyerrant]

A mutant.

[gforceinmyfaaaace]

I'm not from your world.

[greyerrant]

Are you from the warp?

[gforceinmyfaaaace]

What warp? You mean whatever vortex that Philemon guy pulled us in from? I guess, but that depends on your definition of "the warp".

[greyerrant]

The sea of souls.

[gforceinmyfaaaace]

[ A twitch of...something passes over his face. His voice is decidedly less animated when he speaks. ]

No.

[greyerrant]

Then I don't know what to make of you.

[ Yet. Just wait until viridi shows up so he can get into HUGE ARGUMENTS FOREVER. ]

[gforceinmyfaaaace]

[ He shrugs. ]

I'm an angel from another world, that's all. Just like everyone else here is from different worlds.

[greyerrant]

I disagree. Most here are from the distant past of the cradle world of humanity.

[gforceinmyfaaaace]

[ Pit sighs. ]

It's not a matter of opinion. It's the truth! Man, how do you get through life being so cynical all the time?

[greyerrant]

I survive where others do not.

[gforceinmyfaaaace]

Well congratulations! Welcome to the rest of society, where that sort of cynicism just makes you annoying to be around!

[ Because Pit has room to talk about others being annoying to be around. ]

[greyerrant]

I have little desire for the society of anyone. There is only the mission, and duty.

[gforceinmyfaaaace]

Then why are you so concerned about teaching people how to fight? If you didn't care for the society of others, you wouldn't invite them to come to you, would you?

[greyerrant]

If you all die, I find it unlikely my mission will be successful.

[gforceinmyfaaaace]

Spoken like someone who doesn't care about others all right.

[greyerrant]

Indeed.

[ Or is at least concealing his caring behind a ceramite mask. ]

[gforceinmyfaaaace]

You know, you remind me of...

No. Forget it.

[greyerrant]

Oh?

[gforceinmyfaaaace]

It's nothing.

[ Just someone he isn't sure really cares about him at all. ]

[greyerrant]

Anything else?
