Uranus has volunteered to face you.

[Inflicted on Adachi with the player's permission. Make fun of his giant sky-head, will you Adachi?]

[driftsintobuffetline]

Oh? this i have to see

[dun_moch]

Indeed. I expect it will be a most impressive demonstration.

[darkimitation]

Good. Let Uranus know I'm ready for a good fight.

[Because he needs it.]

[dun_moch]

I will do so.

You should know that I suspect Uranus harbours a strong power within him. I want you to truly test his strength in this encounter. Push him to his limits.

[darkimitation]

I have no intentions of holding back. I'll give it all I've got.

[dun_moch]

Excellent.

[Pause.]

Of course, it would be preferred that Uranus survive the encounter with all his limbs relatively intact.

[darkimitation]

Yes sir, I won't hurt Uranus too badly. But he may still end up with some broken bones.

[dun_moch]

That will be acceptable. We can arrange a healer for him if need be.

Or for you, if he proves more dangerous than you expect.

[driftsintobuffetline]

you volunteered to fight Mars! you'll show off your skills for me, right, Uranus~?

[sleight_of_hand]

Like hell! I'm not fighting anyone.

[driftsintobuffetline]

awww, but I wanted to see

Are you afraid of Mars?

[sleight_of_hand]

No, I just don't fight when it isn't worth it.

Which this isn't.

[driftsintobuffetline]

how do you know? you don't even know who Mars is

[sleight_of_hand]

Because I haven't done anything wrong enough to warrant having to fight someone.

...recently.

[driftsintobuffetline]

oh no? I thought you were a bad boy~

though it could be helpful to you down the line if you trained up the skills of a teammate now. no one wants to have someone untested covering their back when the shit hits the fan

[sleight_of_hand]

Look I don't generally fight with anyone anyway, so... yeah. Not interested.

[driftsintobuffetline]

shame

[sleight_of_hand]

What?

Look, it's just better that way.

[driftsintobuffetline]

if you say so

but from experience, i believe fighting someone does improve your skills---both of yours

but if you want to sit this one out...! by all means go ahead

[sleight_of_hand]

Well, yeah, obviously.

It's not like Antares-san can MAKE me.

[driftsintobuffetline]

...i...

don't think you understand how the chain of command works, Uranus-kun.

[sleight_of_hand]

No boss can make you do something you don't want to do.

[dun_moch]

I am afraid there is no room for choice in this matter. This is an official training assignment that you are obligated to accept.

You will fight Mars. The only thing that is up to you is whether you will meet him willingly, or if he will have to come and find you.
