"Likes, dislikes, huh?" He chuckles,"We'll we're putting our lives in each others hands, so whats more intimate than that?" A pale palm is held up, "I suppose you could say I sympathize with those little kids that grow up not knowing anything. The idea that ignorance is bliss, right? [i]Innocence[/i] and all. It's the kind of thing that you dont realize is stifling until you get out of it." Mehdi gestures towards himself. "Our family are magi, yeah?" Gunner nods and so he continues, "Means we're a bunch of crazies chasing our dream. Like a tree. Each generation, adding another ring, another layer, until we either reach the sky or die in the attempt." He snorts, "Used to be...When I was a kid, I grew plants because I liked it. Learned magecraft because I liked it. Even when it hurt, it wasnt any different from working our fields, yeah?" Mehdi shrugs, "But that's all it was. That kid didnt get anything. He just followed directions, growing upwards without rhyme or reason because why would he? The world was everything around him." "Then I got sent out. Made to really interact with people. Realize that innocence is nice, but it isnt really [i]living[/i]. And when I did, I understood. Those guys, they're our competitors. Our allies. Its all one big, interacting, crosspollinating ecosystem baby. Each family puffs out and scatters its seeds hoping that when they take root they'll be just another inch closer to what we all want. "And since we all came from the same place. And we're all going the same place, why not live it up while we're still here?" Mehdi chuckled, "Before we all return to the soil, lets eat, drink, fuck, and leave everyone around us feeling the ecstasy of our existence." With that, he poses one last time, dragging his hands over his form [@Lucker13]
