Lugu's and mine. And you should do a Michale and Zephyr interaction. They be buds afterall.

@Oblivion666

That has nothing to do with Phoenix Wing so Jame can't say crap.

Oh, and don't wait for a reply from Sanders @Caits because he's not giving one. So feel free to post as whoever.

Sorry that I took so long to post. >~<

@hatakekuro

No worries, it was a very nice post. And now you have to start working on a reply. Nya ha ha.

<Snipped quote by Lugubrious>

Meh, my wife and I had an argument. Has killed any debating spirit that I might have had for the day.

@Zarkun

Ah, I see. If it makes you feel any better, I didn't anticipate it being a debate. More like an explaining of positions. Personally, I don't feel like trying to figure out who's right and who's wrong on such a seemingly insignificant but interesting subject.

Heroes of Beacon - the Next Chapter

Once Lucius does a postaru, teams KESS and ASG can be moved along to entering Drury Lanes and starting their bowling, with the assumption that Abel, Gren, and Shiro reunited on the airship and introductions were made between teams.

General Cormorant Sanders – the Stands

@Hatakekuro

"I'm enjoying the games less than some, but more than others. I expect that it'll get better soon." Sanders said, gesturing to the current duel. Rather than feeling intruded or put upon, he was more than a little happy for the distraction. Any chance to speak to someone else, even someone from Phoenix Wing, was a great alternative for him. Looking at the young man now, Sanders saw a great many dissimilarities between the master and the pupil. The boy was lean, with a face much like a fighter's, who had carried himself so solemnly a moment ago but now seemed to be taking to an awkward situation with the skill of any teenager's. He seemed like a man down to earth, with a head unclouded by principles. Sanders knew the 'doer' type well, for there were more than a few in his own guild. Their ranks included Enma who, despite being a different species completely maladjusted to human life, had managed to fit in well with the guild over the last month. Combat skill and a warrior's nature had defined the Oni; everything else had followed. With a little patience for his flaws, Sanders had realized long ago, there could be few better allies.

”Ah, good day to you, Nolan. Any friend of Enma is a friend of mine.” He reached out for Nolan's hand and shook it. ”I'm doing...passably. A little better now, to see a bright young face interested in old men's affairs.” The general uttered a grunting noise that might have been a suppressed chuckle, and his dark brown eyes were shining. ”No need to be so stiff. Jamie and I were just concluding some...unpleasant business. I trust I can depend on your and your friends in Phoenix Wing to not take the competition to come so seriously? I hope you know that, despite the manner in which Hyun lost, none of my soldiers will come 'round roughing for revenge.”

If I felt like debating, I would pull up further proof that of the CONSCIOUSLY controlled part, we don't use more than 10%. There are numerous facts supporting this theory and I already automatically discount breathing, blood movement, etc etc because that's subconscious control.

@Zarkun

I didn't even know there was a other side to this thing. If you're at all interested in debating this, I would actually be very interested to see your proof. I just thought that it was an official scientific deal.

We don't even use ten percent of our brain's full functions.

@Zarkun

Myth.

The reason people think that is because a great deal of our brain's functions are automatic. If we used '100% of our brain' consciously, then we would have to consciously breath, pump blood through our veins, figure out the right emotions to use for a given situation, process sensory inputs from all of our senses, and find every memory one moment at a time. It would not be fun.

<Snipped quote by Lugubrious>

It isn't impossible.

I have heard people speaking to me, when I was unconscious. the brain is a weird, wonderful, unknown organ. As much as we know about it, there's much much more that we don't know about it.

@Caits

Let's say Sanders goes off what has been scientifically proven then, not weird, wonderful, unknown happenings.

Starfire (Interest Check)

This is pretty neat. I'm fragmented across multiple RPs at the moment, so the chances of me joining are low, but I do like this.

The unconscious can't hear people speaking to them. It is a biological impossibility. Jamie is being aggressively assertive. Trying to argue that point would be ludicrous. Sanders is indeed a level-headed man, thanks. The hot-blooded are suited for the front lines; the calm and wise are suited for the command tent.

Also, fighting with Sanders would not be awesome in any way. His magic alters probability. If someone is attacking him and he doesn't want to fight, his first move would be something like raising the probability of him suddenly teleporting across the city to 75%.

General Cormorant Sanders – the Stands

@Caits

Sanders dropped his hand from his beard. He looked suddenly weary. Was this shapeshifter trying to provoke him? She would have no luck in that regard. Truly, he hadn't expected the master of such a powerful guild to be so aggressively assertive. Looking up for a moment at the blue sky, Sanders wondered if there was any point in talking to Jamie at all; she seemed so convinced that she knew it all. She knew better than Sanders how his guild felt, evidently, and knew that their training didn't mean whit when it came to restraining their emotions, and a whole host of other things that made the general want to throw up his hands. He did not want to speak to this person anymore, but he felt an obligation to at least try and defend himself.

”Alas for you. You assume nothing but the worst about my guild. I have given you my word that they will not seek revenge outside of Damian's challenge or duels in the arena, but it seems what you think trumps what I tell you. Look around at my soldiers.” He pointed with his staff at several of the nearby members of Frenzy Plant, including Kumbha. ”Their fury has already ebbed. A mere underlying resentment will not trump their training. And what is it you mean by 'the authorities won't be able'? My guild is law-abiding, Jamie. To perform a single criminal act would be anathema to the warrior's code of honor.”

“As for Hyun, she is more than unconscious. As much as we'd like to think otherwise, she is deaf to anything we'd say. She wouldn't want us wasting our time clustered around her bed. She'd want us to be out here trying to win. You struck a low blow, telling me we don't know the meaning of family. It makes my old heart hurt, but I suppose that is what you wanted. If you feel it necessary to try for moral superiority, or to prove a point, please do visit Hyun. You've come to me in the wake of a dream deferred, thrown dirt upon my soldiers' code of honor, and then told me I've wasted my life forging this guild's bonds. Even if you weren't listening, I've promised you that my soldiers will seek no unjust revenge. I beg you to leave, and to not inflict any more damage.”

He turned his eyes back to the arena, hoping that he wouldn't hear Jamie's voice again, still trying to assert herself and her guild. I will not humor her by responding again, he decided.

No unkind happenings will be coming from Sanders, even after Jamie's provocations.
