Soul Eater: when madness ends, chaos rises

Allen chuckled when Angelo said resonating had nearly killed him multiple times. "Well, glad you've at least figured that out by now." He stretched some, sitting up, before relaxing again. "Well, if we're going to be a team, then I think it'd be a good idea for everyone to practice using Myth, since he's in the unique position of being able to be used by anyone without problem. Just in case I'm knocked out of commission and one of your weapons need a break or something. You never know." He shrugged, looking up at the professor for a moment. Myth looked up when Tori poked him with a cookie, and took it after a hesitant moment. "Th-thanks." He'd say, before eating it, giving her a half-hearted smile before resting his head in his arms again.

If I remember from the anime, Edolas controlled basically the entire world. So an army wouldn't be completely necessary except to quell rebellion, which is bound to not be uncommon in a kingdom that large. And I feel like it'd be hard to get a large enough voluntary army to keep order all over a landmass that size, especially with how they don't have modern medicine and thusly likely have a population of only 400-or-so million (Bassed off estimates of 1400), which is a lot, but I don't think you'd get a volunteer army large enough to maintain order all over the world like that. So the army would likely either be draft, or you get payed reasonably well for being in it Edit:

And posted. Hope I didn't need to do James...

@Zarkun

I missed this when you first said it, but yes, you needed to do James.

Actually I know a lot of veterans and you'd be surprised by how fiercely loyal most soldiers are. Though it is more so towards their immediate CO than a General or something. But still, the concept applies. Most soldiers, at least in the United States, are disciplined and loyal to their comrades.

@j8cob

That's mostly due to the fact the US army is a Volunteer army, I was more speaking to the armies of the era Edolas seemed to be in, which was roughly mid-dark-ages/early enlightenment era. So at that time, armies were generally mercenarial, and thusly more loyal to money than people. But I get what you're saying. And I think you're still implying that, ultimately, to your average grunt it doesn't matter who the overarching General is (Other than the President, who's commander-in-chief) I should've worded my previous post better, sorry if I offended anyone who read that.

That guard talking to Pen seems to fail to realize most of any army is loyal to their paychecks, not their commander.

<Snipped quote by Burthstone> Well it's not so bad at my age. It's when you start owning a house and having retirement stuff going on and things like that. Once you become a true adult it will suck. But for me it was just a couple forms.

@j8cob

Oh, well that's good!

I just finished my taxes. Feels great. :D

@j8cob

I'm sure it does. *Afraid of growing up because of taxes*

Funny, I saw pen saying something like that a looong time ago.
