Nephew gave me a call, showed me what was up. Not a fan.
*Cracks my knuckles*
Plus, gives me a chance to show up these bozos.
*Tilts my head toward Aeron*

@Dynamics

Everyone here has history… But “saw it and didn’t like it” is good enough for me. It’s basically why I’m here.
*Dusts off my forearms*
Let’s go, smart guy.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

Friendly.

@Dynamics

I don’t swing without reason anyway. But why?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

Even if you were to win today, countless years from now the loop will begin again, and I will learn everything that transpired. You cannot defeat omniscience.

@Memory

Today’s all I need.

<Snipped quote by Memory>

Alright, I've seen enough.
*Lands on the planet with my fist to the ground, cratering it*
Pack it up, dudes.

@Dynamics

*Glances back and forth between you and him*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

He's seen the "chief" at work and understands he can't win.

@Memory

So the way I see it, you have a few points of failure. Your armies could always fail you, in which case you won’t achieve the requisite territories in a timely manner. Of course, if you were to fall, there’s no delusional man to turn the ownership over to.
*Wipes sweat from my brow with my arm*
You’re a good planner, but there’s no way you planned for me.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

You can draw your own conclusions. In the end, would it matter?

@Memory

Yes. But you seem intent on nothing mattering. Is this true even of the good general here?
*Looms at him*
You owe a debt?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

They forfeited that choice upon signing.

@Memory

You literally stripped the ability to make it?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

No one else has tried.
*The droplet falls to the ground, followed by another*
Death is not an alternative outlined in the terms.

@Memory

Surely there is one. Situations exist where debts can’t be paid, so if someone’s defiant toward option two, you have a means to make it happen.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

All peaceful solutions have been tried and failed. Today ends the path of nonstop war.

@Memory

If you’re the only one convinced, there’s a problem. So you’re telling me they either fight your war, or they die, is that it?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

My network of Servants have established a trade brokerage throughout Existence. Services for territories, enforced by binding contracts. They chose this fate themselves.
*Holds my blade out to the side, and a drop of water runs down its length*
Debt has far outpaced supply. As my wonderful wife would tell you, the house always wins.

@Memory

I’m starting to get the idea that you’ve never done right by anyone. It’s incredible that you think you’re doing anything good here.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

*Another black orb swoops down and surrounds the man*
Simple. Pay your debt or serve in my war.

@Memory

What debt did you possibly impose on these people?
