Malik Greatly Disapproves. Yet Again.

[loyalrebel]

[Malik's voice cracks across the network, and he's livid.]

Seeing as it seems that any idiot who whines about it loud enough gets their way, who am I to try to keep morons without a wit of reason from getting their hands on red magic?

You all rely on magic to heal people so why not up your game to using it to kill? You won't even have to train all that hard to use it either! A couple hours and you'll be able to go to to toe with any opponent you meet in any world!

Because that's all you care about, isn't it? How easily you can manage to do something regardless of what the method is. Power is more important than being responsible with it. Who cares so long as you have magic to rely on, right?

[Well, he'll get a snappish Hamilton in response.]

What the fuck are you talkin' about, Malik?

[loyalrebel]

Some idiot handed the fool child I was not comfortable with having the power to literally rip someone's heart out or set everything around them on fire that exact power.

Then find out who it is an' have words with them, instead'f airing your grievances in everyone's heads. There's a time and a place, and this ain't it. [Cranky? You bet he is. Tired, too, and there's a vague feeling of dizziness that isn't helping.]

....I mean, I'm all for yellin' at people until shit gets done, 'cause it works, but you're not helpin' my headache any.

[loyalrebel]

Then when should I speak up? When something happens to some innocent person who's only misstep was saying something to the wrong person at the wrong time? When a gang of Travellers decide to kill civilians because they disagree with part of their culture?

How about when we start hurting one another because we cannot agree on something?

I would rather say something now, and make people think before they act.

...I am, however, sorry about your headache.

[aimedhigh]

Or how about we keep an eye on people who have whatever the hell this shit is, instead of yellin' to the heavens like a fuckin' prophet of doom? So long as we know who they are we can make sure they're responsible with it.

[There's a sigh, or it would be one if this wasn't all mental.] Thanks. Maybe it'll go away at some point.

As far as I know it is only myself and now Eren, who tried to attack me when I told him I would not teach him the moment he asked me to.

That people who do not understand how dangerous by it's very nature this particular color of magic truly is are capable of teaching it to people makes me very seriously wary of everyone.

[aimedhigh]

Well obviously it ain't, 'cause someone must've taught it to him and it clearly wasn't you.

I dunno how dangerous it is, I haven't seen it. But then again I'm not about to go out an' teach anyone, either.

[loyalrebel]

Ripping someone's heart out with little more than a thought, setting things on fire with the same, setting people's blood on fire within them, making blades that leave wounds that cannot be healed.

[aimedhigh]

...Damn.

Guess we better figure out who taught it to him, then.

[loyalrebel]

I don't care who did at this point.

It needs to be stopped before someone ends up with a power who uses it to cause real harm to either us or whatever world we end up in.
