I suppose conflict is something that rarely has respite.

[preowned]

I guess not!

But I would like to go to the beach.

[guestservices]

[there's something amused in their tone.]

The beach is nice. Have you gotten the chance before?

[preowned]

Yes. It's pretty nice!

... but there's always something happening that takes you away.

[guestservices]

... Well, that sounds unfortunate. Almost like the beach is cursed, at this rate.

[preowned]

Don't curse my beach.

[guestservices]

Oh. That wasn't my intention, so my apologies. Rest assured I have no means of cursing it, anyway.

[preowned]

Hm, it would be very impressive if you could. Quite a formidable power.

[guestservices]

It would be. Though if I had the choice, then I think I'd rather be able to bless a place.

[preowned]

Oh?

What kind of blessings would you bestow?

[guestservices]

[they lift a hand to their veil, as if thinking.]

Well, it's hard to name anything specific in a vacuum... but I suppose the normal things? Happiness, or the like.

[preowned]

Happiness is a good one...

[ hm... ]

And peace?

[guestservices]

Peace is a nice thought, though I might prefer to keep my hopes more grounded in reality. Happiness tends to be easier to achieve than peace.

[preowned]

[ ... okay he can't help but laugh. ]

That is definitely true. Although for some both are one and the same.

[guestservices]

I won't deny that. [with a curious headtilt:] Is something peace you wish for?

[preowned]

[ something peace........ ]

I don't think so. I'm not sure if it's even possible, really.

[guestservices]

[STOP]

I imagine the idea of lasting peace would be near unfathomable for someone forged for war.

[preowned]

How do you come to terms with the point of your existence if your purpose is stripped away?

... in any case, I don't well with too much quiet.

[guestservices]

[a hum]

Well, if things were peaceful, you could go to the beach as many times as you'd like...

[preowned]

Oh!

You raise a good point. I guess I have to figure out which desire weighs more heavily...

[guestservices]

It seems like it'd be quite the dilemma.

[preowned]

[ hmmm ]

Perhaps we could cause some mischief at the beach?

[guestservices]

Definitely not the worst place for mischief.

[preowned]

I think that we can give the illusion of pure peace... and then shake it up!

[guestservices]

How would you shake it up?
