Death and Rebirth: Roleplay with TheNovaSwag #2

Chapter 32

N:   Celtica stood up, and while Saxon was fixing his shirt, she smacked him upside the head. "What do you think you were doing, boy," she snapped, "how was anything you said helpful to anyone?"

"I would very much want that Eternal to be the Head of Insurgents for one damn day," Saxon scoffed, "and I want to see if he would say the same thing he just did. With Wald, I got lucky, but most insurgents are more like Chrysalis." He made his way to the table and sat down, although he didn't feel like eating, and added, "If all the blood shed by all my insurgents were on my hands, I would be swimming in it."

"Aaaand we came back to the topic of death," Johann piped up, "let's not continue in that direction." The rest of them nodded and continue to eat, some not sure how to fill in the silence.

M:   The silence went on for quite a bit, it became really uncomfortable but no one knew what to say to make things better.

Eventually, Esha finally thought of something and said to Johann, "Say, I remember before I went into stasis you challenged me to a race with Sleipnir, were you just spitting hot air, or were you actually serious?"

N:   Johann, happy that the subject changed, quickly jumped on, "As serious as I will ever be."

"Now you're going way over your head," Wolfgang spoke, "there is no way you can beat her." Johann looked at Erna and Heinrich for support, but they shook their heads, supporting the Saxon.

"Anyway," he turned back to the eternal, "it would be great nonetheless, and it would be an actual challenge."

"Yeah," Wolfe muttered, "when you're horse passes out from exhaustion."

M:  "Give him the benefit of the doubt," Esha said, "just because someone has more legs doesn't mean they are faster. Sigvens were bred for war, they have stockier bodies to trample enemies and tank injuries. They are not made for speed or agility, in fact, they have a hard time making sharp turns and can lose balance if they turn too fast."

"Interesting, now I actually feel a bit more confident that Johann might have a chance," Rowen said, playfully patting his son's shoulder, "you may actually have a chance after all."

N:   "Nein, don't give him the confidence boost," Wolfgang said to Esha, "this guy needs to lose."

"Why are you so bent on him losing," Ireland asked, and when Wales told him what happened, he laughed, "Come on, there is no need to be a sore loser about it."

"Exactly," Johann smiled, "you know what, after this why don't we go and race."

"Calm down, Johann," BE chuckled, "Esha just came out of stasis."

M:   "Are you kidding, I've been sleeping for a whole week, I got all this pent-up energy now," Esha said, bouncing in her chair to prove her point, "I'm almost done eating so we can go soon."

She proceeded to wolf down the rest of her lunch and jumped out of her chair, shifting into her dragon from her excitement, "I'll see you at the race track, slowpokes."

When she ran out of the door and her tail disappeared Mandoria chuckled, "Does stasis actually make someone that hyper, Scotland, what did you do to her food?"

N:   "I think we should be checking what was in the water, not the food," Scotland chuckled, and he looked back to the door, "are we sure Òrail is actually millions of years old, because just now she acted like a twelve-year-old."
