Oi.

Most of you already know about it, but there’s a daily morning training where some people are working so that they can help you figure out how to transform or what your Meister ability is. I’m one of them and as such I have an important message for you. I’m only going to say it once, so wash your ears and listen.

The next smiling idiot who shows up unprepared and expects us to just do all the work for them will be drowned. Don’t waste our time when you can’t even use your poor excuse of a brain to try and think about the solution of your own problems!

..That’s all.

Or they might stop for a moment to actually think and figure out something they should know no matter what. It's not like I'm asking for the impossible. The question is: what could you do good or do you especially like?

[rebelwithaclock]

You could probably ask them to think about that without threatening to drown them!

[poisonwords]

You're right, I could.

[rebelwithaclock]

[huff] Look, some of the new guests are...skiddish, OK? I've already had to try to reassure a few of them.

[poisonwords]

How nice of you. Do you want a gold star for it?

[rebelwithaclock]

I didn't say that...

[poisonwords]

Then what?

[rebelwithaclock]

[sigh] I'm just saying that if you want to help the new guests, it might be prudent not to give them any reason to mistrust you or be afraid of you.

[poisonwords]

Maybe they should.

[rebelwithaclock]

...Why should they?

[poisonwords]

Because using your own brain helps you not to get tricked that easily. And because I'm a liar.

[rebelwithaclock]

...You're a liar?

[poisonwords]

The best.

[rebelwithaclock]

But if you're a liar, couldn't you be lying when you say you're a liar? But...no...wait...

[poisonwords]

Of course I could and I would. you shouldn't trust anything I'm saying too easily.

[Makes it worse.]

[rebelwithaclock]

[Oh man, Chrono's brain is not good at this.]

Uh...but...um...

[poisonwords]

[He laughs.]

Deceits is a good fighting technique to know too, don't you know that? There's only so much you can do with brute strength alone.

[rebelwithaclock]

Agh. I'd rather just get by on strength. I'm not interested in lying to people just to gain some underhanded advantage. [That's more Rizelle's or Aion's (sort of) area, anyway. He's always been much more of a brute-force attacker.]

[poisonwords]

You have to be strong to say something like that.

[rebelwithaclock]

Then it's a good thing I'm strong, isn't it.

[poisonwords]

Yeah. But what about those who aren't or where pure strength won't help? Are you going to tell them 'deal with it and sorry, you're just too weak'? That's a cruel way of thinking.

[rebelwithaclock]

[He opens his mouth to say something...but then he remembers Rizelle's injuries. Even if she wanted to now, is there really anything she can do besides use her powers to fight? And even before, it wasn't her fault that the powers she'd been given were more suited to manipulating others than direct fighting...]

...I guess it might be.

[poisonwords]

Of course that means that you're also always up to direct confrontations that will end up with somebody hurt or something destroyed.

[rebelwithaclock]

[Oh, damn, that touched a raw nerve. He growls.]

Shut up.

[poisonwords]

Aww, that sounds as if I managed to touch a sore spot there, huh? What did you do, blow something up or accidentally stab out somebody's eye out? You can tell my, my sister once managed to burn down the house she was supposed to exorcise with her temper and ridiculous gorilla strength.
