[the Brig arrives on the Astral Plane, looking just a tad bit roughed up] Oh, of all the...


Someone do please remind me not to attempt to break up fights with soldiers possessing horns. I almost found myself impaled.

Yes, in very short sentences. Sometimes good in a soldier, but overall not very advantageous.

Why not?

For one, it means no one has any idea what you're thinking. Secondly, in terms of battle, if one wishes to go up in rank they need to have some grasp on giving commands, and giving commands involves speaking in more terms than 'yes', 'no', 'go this way', 'stop', 'shoot', 'don't shoot', and any other short, clipped sentences.

Not to mention it becomes increasingly difficult to hold proper conversations with other people. Particularly if one is acting like a ... pre-programmed computer or some such. Limited vocabulary, my meaning.

I'm not an officer, or a robot.

Then perhaps you ought to act more your age and, I don't know, talk about girls instead of standing there.

[twelvemasks.livejournal.com]

... Yuko, Chihiro, Yukari, Fuuka, Aigis, and Mitsuru are girls.

Now there's a proper young man. You know, when I was your age, I had a list of a similar length. A bit longer, of course. I was rather popular.

You had fangirls too?

[barelyemoting.livejournal.com]

[the Brig chuckles] Is that what you lot are calling them, whenever and wherever you are? You could say that, yes.

[twelvemasks.livejournal.com]

What else would you call them?

[barelyemoting.livejournal.com]

...Girlfriends?

[twelvemasks.livejournal.com]

... But I'm not dating them.

[barelyemoting.livejournal.com]

Ah. Well. ... [the Brig stands there]

[Minato stands there too. They get along splendidly.]
