☠ 002; [video]

[ Look who's showing his face again on the network after ducking his head throughout that entire undead affair! No worse for the wear, of course, seated upon a cushy armchair with a wine glass in hand, next to a roaring fire. Apparently some are living in the lap of luxury despite living in a world of utter dismay.

For some reason or another, Prestor is appearing even more pompous than usual, made even more evident in his snide tone once he opens his mouth. ]

What an unfortunate turn of events lately. It's such a pity the Initiative was not there to diligently protect us from a most unexpected undead apocalypse. [ You hear a faint I told you so, I told you so echo in your thoughts. The voice is chilling. ] That is why it is better to rely on one's own strength than that of the group, or at least one so large. Divide and conquer, you know. It's simple strategy. I see they have yet to implement this, though. You'd think they put more capable commanders in charge, but it's not my place to judge, now is it?

[ Prestor raises his glass to his audience, lips cracking into a grin. ]

But I am curious of your battles, your greatest triumphs, your most renowned accomplishments. After all, it's not bragging if it's true. And who doesn't love a little indulging of heroics?

Tell me of the moment you pride yourself most upon in your life. A moment of glory to lift ourselves from despair.

It's difficult to know where to start.

audio

[deathwarder]

I'm listening.

audio

[kingside]

For one, I sincerely doubt your rooms need to be that lavish.

audio

[deathwarder]

Am I detecting a trace of envy? Or is it scorn?

audio

[kingside]

Perhaps some scorn, but mostly amusement.

audio

[deathwarder]

Is that all you came here to contribute?

audio

[kingside]

You don't want more of a critique?

audio

[deathwarder]

If it's going to be useful, then certainly. Otherwise...

audio

[kingside]

Then I have to say that you won't win yourself any followers if you're going to be this unbearably smug.

audio

[deathwarder]

Then you would be irrefutably wrong to make that assessment.

audio

[kingside]

No accounting for taste, then.

audio

[deathwarder]

So you'd have me sequester myself in filth?

audio

[kingside]

Your decorations are a separate issue entirely.

audio

[deathwarder]

Lavish does not qualify as critique, for the record. That qualifies as pointless commentary.

audio

[kingside]

I said that they don't need to be that lavish. I didn't simply say that they were lavish. Do try to listen.

audio

[deathwarder]

I see are lacking in the arena of manners.

That is most unfortunate for you.

audio

[kingside]

You would prefer it if I used pretty words to spare your feelings?

audio

[deathwarder]

Definitely. My fragile heart is breaking at every cruel syllable.

audio

[kingside]

My sincerest apologies, Lord Prestor. This lowly one begs your forgiveness.
