"A love song..? To your sweetheart..?" It had been a while since Riou have even considered those words. It was hard to get close to a person, when you knew your life was unlimited. He had known of another Rune bearer, who had chosen to seal away his Rune and live out the rest of his life with the woman he loved. It was a selfish desire, and had ended up causing many problems.
Athena didn't respond to Four, feeling that she had accomplished what she had wanted, and instead took to examining the gun.

Austin returns for his assault rifle. "I'll need that back now." he says to Athena.
"That barely means anything Four. Heroes usually end up dead the next day." Winter replies, she turns to Gwen. "Really? Honestly? I bet that well before me, there were two others that you have grown attached to. What more does a statistic mean to anybody else? Give a few more years, and people forget, people lose there what history was, and alliances fall and die. Give or take a few years, and I will only be remember as an incident. An inconceivable. A 'Whats-her-name'."

"I-I'm pretty sure...Four made me promise to never tell anyone about it..." Asha said.
"Oh...um...maybe find someone else to help you with that. Love songs aren't really my forte." Rose said rather uneasily to Mathis.
"Well look who's talking about things that barely mean anything. Anyway, why is Gwen's sexual history getting dragged into this? Not trying to brag here, but I've slept with way more people...I'm pretty sure. But I never thought of anyone as just a 'notch on my bed-post' so to speak." Four said to Winter.

<color=purple>"Don't be a snarker, Winter. Why would I want to interfere with two people who were already in love with each other? I'm not part of the fucking Time Divers. I could care less. You're not a damn statistic. There are history books, Winter. And while your name may not be written down in their history books. You'll certainly be written down in my log entries and my history book. At least be thankful that I'm writing your name down. Every single one of my log entries gives my thoughts on what happened during the day. And give a few more years and alliances will form. Live evolves and changes. It learns, Winter. Intelligent life takes a much longer time to mature into a stable state than most other species. Time and evolution give a huge impact on how a society behaves. My creators were like that."
@Salty: 'Down' as in 'put away' He dropped his assault rifle just when the Austin and Winter started fighting each other.
"Fine." Athena tosses the rifle back to Austin.
OoC: @Rosh Then, I misunderstood. I read that as he put the pistol on the ground in an act of defiance. Basically saying that if she wanted to commit suicide she could do it herself.
Though, I've never heard put down as a reference for putting away a sidearm. Holstering is usually more commonly used. Probably the source of the mix-up.

@Salty: That's fine. Then its my own fault on that part (Sorry)
Austin catches his rifle and walks away.

"Life is notches. People get hurt with relationships. People do stupid things because of relationships. Welcome to my year of 2496 where people are born and raised... And die." Winter rebukes to Four.
"I don't care about my own name. That's has already been cemented by the Succubus. And where do you think my people come from? It's like the Cold War all over again! 75 years since the end of the war, and it's the Our children's children's war. Humans don't change."
She looks away.
"Its always a constant battle. One without rest, one that has always been there. And people go about their day like nothing is happening. Its been integrated into our heads that fighting is constant. And even with greater threats, we are still fighting ourselves. What I find funny is that Sci-Fi writers of old always have humans fighting humans, and then when a large threat emerges, its still humans fighting humans. I thought we would have learned... But I was wrong."

"Yeah, I'm fine. Love...and anything related I guess, is just kind of a touchy subject for me." Rose said as she leaned back and started looking up at the sky again.
"Can we just talk about something else now, please?" Asha said to Gerry, almost sounding pleading.
"So your home-world-universe-thing sucks. Big deal. Mine did too. You know what I did? I left. Why can't you just do the same thing? I thought you already did." Four said to Winter.

"[sub]...Okay...um...[/sub]" Gerry said to Asha, not sure of what to say. "[sub]...Are you hungry?[/sub]" he asked.
Gwen looked up to the sky.
<color=purple>"You should see my place then.... in the year 3022 for me, it is the age of progress. A time where... people have created another Renaissance of exploration and discovery. A time of thinking and diplomacy. After all the years of warring and conflict, what humans have not forgotten is the capacity to know the world, the cosmos, and themselves. And that capacity still exists in this period in time for them. And even my creators are the evolutionary descendants of the human race who eventually were able to suppress their reptilian emotions. It is well within humanity's power to destroy its civilization and perhaps its species as well. If they capitulate to superstition, greed, or stupidity, they can plunge their world into a darkness greater than between the collapse of classical civilization and the Italian Renaissance. But they are also capable of using their compassion and understanding, their knowledge and their wealth, to make abundant and meaningful life for everyone on the planet, and to carry them to the stars."
