37th Insane Speech // Voice

Hahahaha! Well now, that was a lot of fun! It’s been far too long since this City really had to fight tooth-and-nail against a large opponent. I always love to see the heroes of this place spring into action when a suitable foe presents itself.

Tell me something, now. This City was attacked by many thousands of a trained and organized enemy. A very silly enemy to be sure, but an enemy that was fought in the streets and on the bridges for three days of chaos! Would this conflict then, be considered a war? Do you all now qualify as seasoned veterans? Perhaps you have all earned a campaign decoration for your valiant efforts!

[chuckle]

How do you all define what qualifies as a ‘war’ anyway? Or- here’s the thing that really interests me!- how many of you remarkable people would say that you have experienced war? So many people from so many different worlds with so many conflicts! I would absolutely love to hear your stories.

Mentally ill, I take it?

[liebe_krieg]

According to my file I am a megalomaniac with a suspected antisocial or narcissistic personality disorder. What foolishness!

[doubleoohbaby.livejournal.com]

Really? That doesn't sound like you at all.

[liebe_krieg]

Certainly not an illness. I do not need to be cured of my very own self!

[doubleoohbaby.livejournal.com]

It's almost sweet that they think they can cure that.

[liebe_krieg]

They certainly haven't been doing a very good job of it so far.

I doubt it's as simple as a quick trip to the Doctors. You have to want to be a different man. But why would anyone want to become someone they're not?

[liebe_krieg]

An excellent and perplexing question! The answer is of course that they wouldn't. People only allow their selves to be changed by outside forces when they give up in the face of some external pressure. Identity always involves some sort of conflict, physical or emotional.

And can you see yourself caving to the cries and demands of a society that doesn't want you?

[liebe_krieg]

Hahhaahhhaa, absolutely not! The very notion is ridiculous. In fact, I think it would be more likely for the complete opposite to happen.

[doubleoohbaby.livejournal.com]

You know, I've always thought that might be a risk. Labelling is never a wise move.

[liebe_krieg]

You thought very wisely then, Mister Bond.

[doubleoohbaby.livejournal.com]

Not sure I hear myself and 'wise' in the same sentence all that often.

So, when are you out of the mad house? Any date yet?

[liebe_krieg]

I'm afraid I can't really say. There has been no date set yet, not by the authorities.

[doubleoohbaby.livejournal.com]

'By the authorities' being the key words in that sentence, I suppose?

[liebe_krieg]

[The Major laughs]

Wait and see, Mister Bond! Wait and see.

At least you keep things interesting, Sturmbannführer.
