What in the name of the Light did you do?

[itookashot]

Blew up a military base. No one was killed but they're pretty pissed.

They were making armor with a special weapon taken from one of the rift monsters. We wanted to stop the manufacturing.

[a_better_man]

Suppose I can't argue the cause, as those weapons would be used against ME. In a general sense.

Can't blame them for being hacked off, but prison isn't so bad for treason.

[itookashot]

The armor looked like if they could get it to the castle, it could be dangerous to you lot. It was protecting them but they had explosive discs they could toss at people.

They sent us to the mines, which we often stop by anyway to check in on the miners (they have a rough time), so it's barely a punishment. I'd rather be doing something like this than sitting down doing nothing, so.

[a_better_man]

I fucking hate this. The whole war mess or whatever it is we're stuck in. Hostility.

Oh you're just on a labor detail. That's not bad at all.

[itookashot]

I agree. Especially when they came so close to the bloody castle with their last one, using one of our own's tech. Assholes. I don't know where this is going, but it's only bad.

Yeah, exactly. They're all nice folks, just trying to keep living. We've done a lot of work with them over the years to improve their way of life so it's more pleasant than jail for certain.

[a_better_man]

No, I don't think there's going to be any slowing of the wheels. At least as far as anyone in power knows, I'm mostly useless in a war situation. I'm just the silly fellow who sings all the silly songs.

That barely sounds like a punishment, really. When one of us breaks the law over here, they toss us in a cell for a bit.

[itookashot]

It's probably for the best, you don't want them knowing you can do more, they'll try to use you.

Yeah I assumed we'd be tossed in a jail, but I guess they figure why waste our skills when we can work for them.

We can meet up in the Horizon though, although I don't know when, they keep us busy.

[a_better_man]

That's precisely why they don't know. And will never know.

Pragmatic approach, I suppose. But the government over there seems a bit more pragmatic on the whole.

Just give me the word and I'll be there.

[itookashot]

Pragmatic, sure. I'd take it over a jail cell, you know I'd be going crazy in ten minutes.
