[h1]Reggie[/h1] [i]Well shit, this escalated quickly.[/i] Reggie couldn't help but think, almost finding the situation humorous if not for the fact that their lives hung on the outcome of this decision. Also, as things were headed, the group would likely split because two hot heads are arguing at each other over the same point. He merely sighed at the situation, turning to Jessie with a look that said 'Ridiculous, aren't they', before he popped up two pokeballs to recall his pokemon, than turned towards Serenity, then Apalacia, then Jericho, breathing out another sigh after thinking through his response. [i]Here goes nothing . . . fuck, I'm going to sound like such a preachy tool, aren't I?[/i] "While the town and language of the red head's arguement had much to be desired for as a method of keeping people together, the basis is sound enough. We're all going to the same place, have little idea what the hell we're doing, are probably in for some tough times ahead, and don't have time for pointless squabbling." Reggue scratched his head before he turned to Jericho, choisong his words much less carefully this time. "Dude, why did you expect any of us to follow you, only reason I wanted to was because I'd rather have more people around and because I wanted to make sure our mutual friend Apalacia stated safe. Like hell was I going to let any friend of mine go off into a battlezone with only one other person to watch their back. But I was never going to follow you like a little puppy, and if push came to shove, I'd knock some sense into your head if you were too simple-minded to see it. And don't say you aren't, cause only a simple-minded alpha male dickbag would think that a bunch of damn near strangers would entrust their lives to his leadership after just meeting him." Reggie's tone was calmmand neutral the entire time he spoke, betraying none of his emotions or feelings on the matter that his words didn't already show. "That being said, I'd rather be on a team eith you than without, for your sake as much as mine, so please suck up your pride and stop trying to be incharge. My dad always told me that a true leader is someone who inspires others to follow him, instead of trying to force and threaten them. That a true leader thinks about what's good for the group, not just the indivudual. Do you think you can be that type of leader, Jericho, because if so, you're going to have to prove it and earn the position." After his lecture, Reggie walked over to be standing next to Serenity, scratching his head agaim as he turned to his audience. "Sorry for the preavhy lecture there, everybody, just felt like speaking my mind all of the sudden." Turning to the redhead, he extended his hand with a smile. "Name's Reggie, and it's nice to meet you. Also, would you not argue with Apalacia here when your both literally on the same side of the arguement. Oh, and good job to both of you for speaking out against sepating early, the rest of us were probably to distracted by our pride as men to actually speak up on that fact. So, do people want to keep argue and wasting valuable daylight, or do people want to make to Appalata town some time this year." His tone near the end was slightly mocking, but the message was clear: [b]Calm your tits, save your arguements for the road, and lets get moving.[/b] Okay, the crudness wouldn't be clear, but the basis if the message would be.
