Fourth Dispatch: It's Not What You Think. Voice.

[trinkett]

Dear Fellow Residents of Luceti,

Wouldn't it be entertaining to put on some Games here in Luceti? Not that the Cultural Fair wasn't amusing, or any of the other activities going on here -- but true gladiatorial games. The pitting of one creature against another! Think of the thrill and drama and the release that goes along with that sort of entertainment! And here in Luceti we are ideally suited for a very exciting Games indeed.

Who would you sponsor or volunteer for this entertainment? Or would it all be...

[There is a pause here.]

Pokey-mans? I find human beings MUCH more interesting to watch, personally.

[A bloody good fight and the heady adrenaline rush that accompanies it is something he enjoys nearly on par with carnal pleasures. But he has undergone his share of gauntlets and trials and is far from willing to battle for a gleeful, hungry audience. To do so is to make himself something cheap and disposable, little more than the evening’s entertainment.

He fights for himself alone.]

'tis you whom I would volunteer. Why simply watch when you could be in the midst of battle itself, thrumming with life as you dance with death? [A suggestion readily put forth and in a tone so light and gently amused.] I cannot imagine what might be more entertaining for you.

ME? [She scoffs at this.] The point of the matter is that this would not be entertaining for anyone else. I'm not a fighter!

[relictusdeus]

Ah, but that is where you are wrong, my dear woman. I would delight in seeing it... and 'twould seem I am not alone.

Hypocrites! And you all say I'M the bloodthirsty one! You're no better, any of you!

[relictusdeus]

I make no secret of that which I am. You, on the other hand, think politesse and that pretty painted face of yours shall hide the ugly beast within you.

The beast within ME is gorgeous.

[And she slams the journal closed on him. Hmph.]
