Who are you?

Re: Aven Smith & Trigger Smith (not related)

[pyxis_warning]

I'm Trigger. I was the first and last member of Team Pyxis.

Re: Aven Smith & Trigger Smith (not related)

[storming_in]

How'd you end up with such a cool name?

Re: Aven Smith & Trigger Smith (not related)

[pyxis_warning]

Trigger? That was the kid.

Re: Aven Smith & Trigger Smith (not related)

[storming_in]

Really? I guess he managed to retain some good sense.

Re: Aven Smith & Trigger Smith (not related)

[pyxis_warning]

Enjoying your pot shots, by the by? I should let you know, they are not tolerable, even from a good-looking girl.

Re: Aven Smith & Trigger Smith (not related)

[storming_in]

You think that's a pot shot? I've been damn near saintly about giving him a break right now.

Re: Aven Smith & Trigger Smith (not related)

[pyxis_warning]

So take care of that "damn near."

Re: Aven Smith & Trigger Smith (not related)

[storming_in]

Coddle him yourself. I'm not babying him so he can keep flapping around pathetically on the ground like this. He gets a break thanks to your arrival, but if he's me then he'd better live up to our goddamn name.

Re: Aven Smith & Trigger Smith (not related)

[pyxis_warning]

Who said anything about coddling? I'll see him fly again, no matter what it takes.

Re: Aven Smith & Trigger Smith (not related)

[pyxis_warning]

But as his ridiculous ego isn't in a position to defend itself, I'll be handling that for him. Certainly you understand!

Re: Aven Smith & Trigger Smith (not related)

[storming_in]

Actually, I understand him a thousand times better than you! This pathetic state is something he should've been through before. It's worse now, but feeling like this? The way he's acting? I know this. He just needs a strong enough kick.

Re: Aven Smith & Trigger Smith (not related)

[pyxis_warning]

[OK now that is interesting]


Before? Before Sabra La Tau?

Re: Aven Smith & Trigger Smith (not related)

[storming_in]

Obviously if it's something I know about. Did he ever talk about a Sora?

Re: Aven Smith & Trigger Smith (not related)

[pyxis_warning]

The name isn't familiar.

Re: Aven Smith & Trigger Smith (not related)

[storming_in]

Sora is like a sis—. . . brother, to him. But she—he. He also should have betrayed him completely. And there should've been some other unforgivable things he did that night. Probably the kind of things you'd have expected to see in that Sabra place.

The way he is right now is a lot like the way things were after that night.

Re: Aven Smith & Trigger Smith (not related)

[pyxis_warning]

. . .

Re: Aven Smith & Trigger Smith (not related)

[storming_in]

I was able to shake this feeling on my own that time. There were still things I wanted to accomplish, things to make up for.

This idiot version of me has fallen further, so thinking about it that way on his own hasn't been enough.

Re: Aven Smith & Trigger Smith (not related)

[storming_in]

So he needs to have it beaten into him! Even he wants to rise above this misery, so he needs to be reminded of knowing his supporters still believe in him! Of the feeling of soaring in the sky even if I have to kick him up there myself!

Re: Aven Smith & Trigger Smith (not related)

[pyxis_warning]

Hmm. I have no objections to that much. I've had quite enough to flying alone.

Re: Aven Smith & Trigger Smith (not related)

[storming_in]

Good, good! I can see he's chosen good followers.

Re: Aven Smith & Trigger Smith (not related)

[pyxis_warning]

None the less. While punching is perfectly acceptable, and perhaps even encouraged, an insult to our leader is an insult to Pyxis, no matter what his state.

Re: Aven Smith & Trigger Smith (not related)

[storming_in]

When your leader shapes up, no one will want to insult him.

Re: Aven Smith & Trigger Smith (not related)

[pyxis_warning]

But what sort of subordinate would I be if I tolerated it in the interim?

Re: Aven Smith & Trigger Smith (not related)

[storming_in]

One that knows protecting him from any stone thrown his way isn't going to help him learn how to block them himself again.
