[ this was supposed to be one of Gaby's days off. in fact, she's not in the safehouse when the message comes in. ]

Turns out that we're missing two new faces around the safehouse.

I'd play a guessing game as to why I wasn't told, but I don't care. These two faces apparently murdered two people that night.

I don't know who they are, but I do know that they're locked up. Any guesses as to what's going to happen to them?

Genuine question. Because I don't know.

Oh, and because some of you think you can do whatever the hell you want around here: don't think the way out for them is a jail break. Don't even fucking try it. And no, Morningstar isn't in the business of breaking people out of jail, because that would be stupid.

[ she's a little angry. no. a lot. but mostly she doesn't know how to handle this one. ]

Look. You know something? Tell me. You won't be "in trouble."

This is not just a fake name issue, if he's seriously saying he's Achilles he's a fraud.

[They went there.]

no you didn't

[kometes]

What gives you the right to call me a fraud.
I won't deny my true name. I am Achilles, the son of the hero Peleus and the goddess Thetis.

OH YES THEY DID!!!

[deicider]

I know Achilles, and he isn't a headstrong jackass like you.

[kometes]

[ Have you read the Iliad... ]

Who are you then, Ojiro?
If you claim to know the hero Achilles, then give me your true name.

[deicider]

[In retrospect this was maybe not the time, but they can't let this slide.]

I'm not the one claiming to be a legendary warrior. Everyone knows who Achilles is, a respected and competent soldier. A hero. You expect me to believe a loudmouth jerk like you is him? What proof do you have that you're not just using his name?

[kometes]

You expect me to care what you believe or don’t believe?
If you desperately want that proof,
Then let me carve what it means to be a true warrior into you.

[deicider]

I'm not letting you walk around with his name. If you're really fleet-footed Achilles, than a race will work just fine.

[kometes]

A race? Don’t make me laugh. You can’t hope to even keep up enough to see me in the distance in front of you. Even with my divine powers being gone, I’m still the fastest.

I won’t let you disrespect my mother and father for claiming I’m not their true son.
But I still want something else when I win. What kind of prize are you thinking

[deicider]

Are you hoping I'll get bored of your bragging and change my mind?
When you lose, you abandon the name Achilles forever. If I'm wrong, I'll give you my true name.

[kometes]

If you think your true name would mean anything to me, then I'll accept it as my prize.

Since this was your idea, you can choose the place where we'll have our footrace. You can include as many obstacles as you want.

[deicider]

You're the one who asked. If you don't like it, that's your problem.

Down by the river.

[mercurio]

[squints at this conversation. he can't believe this...]

guess that's an issue you guys gotta sort out with each other
