Day 04

[lifescratched]

[With the deaths overnight, the Major losing whatever sanity he had, along with the other day's revelations, they've had more than enough to contend with for one day. Nonetheless, Connor feels that if he can discuss this, he needs to discuss it now.

So, when he gets an opportunity to find Roy in private, he'll draw him aside.]

Can I speak to you, Mr Mustang?

[backdrafted]

I'll listen after I look at the piece of shit that's succeed in killing the Emperor of Xing, where so many other monsters have failed.

[/DRAMA TURN

OFF HE GOES]

[Connor can see there's no dissuading him. So he'll follow quietly at least as far as the outskirts of the farm and hide in a hay bale in true Assassin style, if only to make sure Mustang gets out alive.]

[backdrafted]

[well, after that yolostunt. Roy in fact comes back from the barn alive.]

[lifescratched]

[Connor emerges from his hiding place, relieved, and heads over once the General is far enough away from the barn. sup]

Are you satisfied, now?

[backdrafted]

I wonder how I could be satisfied.

What's your plan.

[lifescratched]

Continuing to fight this battle will only lead to the destruction of us all. I have the means to force the Lady to confirm this at the trial. If I can convince everyone of the truth, Faithful and Demon alike could rise up against their masters... The wager between the Lady and the Gentleman will not be able to continue.

[whoa slow down there mr american revolution]

... I don't know what the others have planned for the trial already. And I may lose my life in the attempt. But it is better than continuing to play along with this lie, while those around me are being slaughtered.

. . .

I'll do what I can to help you.

I was under her spell until today. I'm not sure what caused me to break free. I helped the Hamadas escape through the wall...

[lifescratched]

[He nods, grateful for the offer of help. If anything does happen to him, he'll be relieved that he at least has back-up.]

When I broke free, I had a dream my father... [He smirks a little at this, wry.] ...He knocked sense into me, in a very literal meaning of the phrase. That was on the second night.

Since then, I have been trying to protect the villagers and gain more information. I suppose I could have escaped by myself, as the two brothers did... but I could not abandon my father or the rest of you.

[backdrafted]

I have a country to return to... one assumes the wall is even a way to escape. Although it is all we have. I can only hope so for the sake of those boys.

But I want these monsters dead first.

[lifescratched]

Slaying them will not be easy, but I am certain it can be done. Does the militia have a weapons stockpile we can arm ourselves with?
