*ZAP*

*Yep, that's the giant man from a week or so ago, and from the scenery it's obvious he's in Violet City. He's absolutely roaring with laughter from the back of his larger-than-usual Tauros.

And electricity is crackling from his fingertips. Also, does his hair look more spiky and yellow than normal?* Ha! If this world thought to lay me low from disease once again, it was sorely mistaken!

But if fever and illness are what must be endured as a price for these ... capabilities-- *SPARKS. Into the air!* --then so be it!

How fitting for the heir of mighty Zeus himself, would you not agree? Come, friends! Show me the bounty of your newfound power!

[Action; Violet City]

*CAREFUL or you might get run over by a man charging through the streets on the back of a Tauros with thunder crackling from his hands. And yet, he seems to be, in his own way, methodically testing his new capabilities in terms of the materials he's zapping - rarely with enough force to do any harm, though.

He rears his Tauros to a halt, patting its flank affectionately.*

Re: Action

[hetairoooyjenkins]

Yes, I understand that only too well now! *As he speaks he walks over to the collapsed Tauros, bodily lifting it off of its smaller foe with his immense strength.* Honestly, to have your strategy thwarted by an arbitrary rule - it's somewhat frustrating. But any commander must adapt.

*And then a grin.* You will not best me twice, one-eye. That I swear to you.

*shrugs, going to retrieve the electrike once the tauros is out of the way*

Depends on whether I get the drop on you again, doesn't it? Knowing more than your opponent does never hurts, after all...

Re: Action

[hetairoooyjenkins]

Ah, but this is a game. And to win a game, one must understand its systems.

Re: Action

[lightningbearer]

Exactly.

Re: Action

[hetairoooyjenkins]

To master the systems of a game is thrilling indeed. ...and yet, constraining. It removes some strategic choice on the part of a combatant or general.

Though I suppose therein lies its appeal.

Re: Action

[lightningbearer]

*shrug*

It could be better or worse, but what matters is getting the job done.

*...spoken like a true mercenary there, heh*

Re: Action

[hetairoooyjenkins]

Hmmm. No, that's not true at all. Victory is only part of success.

Re: Action

[lightningbearer]

That depends on your objectives.

*a pause*

Do you really intend to try to conquer this world?

Re: Action

[hetairoooyjenkins]

Of course. Do my words sound like those of a liar?

Re: Action

[lightningbearer]

No. But why?

Re: Action

[hetairoooyjenkins]

My dream is to unite the stars themselves under the banner of Alexander. That dream has not faded because the scenery has changed.

Re: Action

[lightningbearer]

That sounds a little far-fetched to me.

Re: Action

[hetairoooyjenkins]

*A grin.* Aye, indeed it is! Therein lies the point!

Re: Action

[lightningbearer]

*just shakes his head a bit*

I can't say I see the appeal of things like "conquest" myself...

Re: Action

[hetairoooyjenkins]

Hmmm. Well, I suppose in a way it is its own appeal and its own point.

Re: Action

[lightningbearer]

*shrug*

Maybe for some people.

Though it might be worthwhile sticking around to see how things turn out...

Re: Action

[hetairoooyjenkins]

I would hardly forgive you if you did not!

Re: Action

[lightningbearer]

Hmm...

Are you planning on staying here for a while? The gym's apparently closed for the time being, but it may be better to wait for now than backtrack later.

Re: Action

[hetairoooyjenkins]

I could hardly delay and do nothing. Who can rest when there is a horizon to march for?

Re: Action

[lightningbearer]

You're planning on challenging the gyms, aren't you? You could take time to prepare, at least.
