[Dist is out in his driveway, meticulously working with the Kaiser's gun. He'd been a bit nervous about powering him up, but unlike last time he didn't start sparking and exploding, so Dist decided to count his blessings. Later on he would do a more thorough inspection, but for the moment his main project was modifying the gun to fire something other than its specialized fonic shells. Nails had seemed like a cheap and effective alternative, and as such he'd built up a stack of them sizable enough to build himself a second house. Now, the only thing to do would be to load it up and see if it could fire them in the first place to determine just how much modification would be necessary... so, naturally, he loaded the gun up and aimed it at the lawn.

Another thirty or so seconds later, the lawn, the side of the house, and half of the car are riddled with hot nails. The gun had fired, but it had spun wildly out of control; the only reason Dist hadn't been run through was because he'd been holding it from behind. Completely unperturbed, he sits himself down in the Kaiser's cockpit and begins to take the gun apart.]

You're the one who tried to destroy the Kaiser! I was just protecting it!

[He walks the Kaiser back a few steps, powering down the saw. He doesn't particularly feel like killing anyone today.]

AND you punched me! In my beautiful face!

[Points up at the cockpit.]

"What are you gonna use that thing for, anyway? Back where I'm from, shit like this is why all the people live in fear!"

[Now that he isn't being actively attacked, Dist feels safe enough to open the cockpit back up; however, not being entirely stupid (just mostly stupid) he doesn't power it down. Just in case.]

It doesn't matter! The Kaiser is mine, and I won't let you destroy it!

[Grunts, spitting on the ground.]

"Fine, but don't come cryin' to me to save you when you get punished for havin' that thing. You deserve whatever you get."

[He knows deep down that Mayfield isn't Spira, and that things are different here, but he's seen too many people suffer at the hands of Sin because of their pigheaded insistence on relying on machina.]

Why would I come to you for anything after what you tried to do?! You split my lip and tried to destroy my masterpiece! You just don't understand!

[identity profile] child-abuser.livejournal.com 2010-05-19 03:00 am (UTC)(link)
No, you're the one who doesn't get it.

Well now you're just being stupid.

...More stupid.

[identity profile] child-abuser.livejournal.com 2010-05-19 03:08 am (UTC)(link)
Look, it's simple. Where I'm from, that thing you're riding is called a machina. People built 'em, got too cocky about their own power, and got smacked down for it. Hard. The punishment'll only stop if everyone stops usin 'em, but people are stupid, and there's still some guys who refuse to give it up. That's why I can't stand the sight of your Kaiser or whatever the hell you call it.

But this isn't your world. I'm not going to get "punished" [yes, with the finger-quotes] for having it, or using it. And neither are you.

[identity profile] child-abuser.livejournal.com 2010-05-19 03:13 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe not by Sin, but I bet Grady won't think twice about takin' it away.

[identity profile] child-abuser.livejournal.com 2010-05-19 03:20 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, good luck with that.

[identity profile] buildstherobots.livejournal.com 2010-05-19 03:22 am (UTC)(link)
I don't need luck. I have a giant robot with buzzsaws for hands.

[identity profile] child-abuser.livejournal.com 2010-05-19 03:26 am (UTC)(link)
You got a point there. I heard Grady doesn't really play by the rules, though. Guess you'll find out eventually.

[identity profile] buildstherobots.livejournal.com 2010-05-19 03:27 am (UTC)(link)
I suppose so.

For the record, I don't plan on attacking anyone unless they try to do what you did.

[identity profile] buildstherobots.livejournal.com 2010-05-19 03:35 am (UTC)(link)
Despite what you may think, I am not interested in being droned again.

[identity profile] child-abuser.livejournal.com 2010-05-19 03:38 am (UTC)(link)
I don't get what the big deal is.

[identity profile] buildstherobots.livejournal.com 2010-05-19 03:43 am (UTC)(link)
I tried to sleep with Olivier. Not something that was on my to-do list, as it were.

[Busts out laughing.]

"Bet that turned out well."

[identity profile] buildstherobots.livejournal.com 2010-05-19 03:59 am (UTC)(link)
They apparently had to restrain me. It's a disturbing thought.

[identity profile] child-abuser.livejournal.com 2010-05-19 04:01 am (UTC)(link)
[Just laughing and laughing.]

[...Hey! He's being made fun of!]

Don't laugh at me!

[He does let go of the control panel, though, sitting on the edge of the cockpit and giving Jecht the best stink-eye he can manage.]
