[Since the last event Raven has spent the entire time locked away in his room sleeping it off. Now however he feels as though that wasn't he wisest thing to do. So he's currently in the Barracks borrowing one of their standard wooden bows and practising hitting the targets. He doesn't seem to be doing very well though, he's broken a few window panes and even managed to hit himself with his own arrow. It'd be a wise idea to not stand anywhere near him, especially in front, he's not having a very good day.]

Ya usually join a guild, but families formed in guilds become members automatically I guess.

[latkje]

Really? So then, anyone can join?

[crisisrain]

Yup! But by doin' so ya have to turn yer back on the Empire, which means the Knights get a little unfriendly and ya ain't too welcome in the capitol.

[latkje]

I'm assuming the knights are the peacekeeping forces of this empire.

[crisisrain]

Pretty much. They do try though, give 'em credit.

[latkje]

Like I said before, I'm not here to judge.

[crisisrain]

It's not really judgin', it's more of 'havin' yer own opinion'.

[latkje]

Well, what sort of person would I be, if I got set in my opinions without seeing this stuff for myself?

[crisisrain]

Didn't say ya have to be set on those opinions! Opinions can always change over time.

[latkje]

Can they? Talking to some people, you wouldn't know.

[crisisrain]

Ya can always change someone's opinion, it just takes a lot of effort ta do so.

[latkje]

I've met some pretty stubborn people, in my time.

[crisisrain]

Yup, I'd be one of 'em.

[latkje]

But you seem to think opinions are changeable, so you can't be that bad.

[crisisrain]

Nah I'm just stubborn in other areas.

[latkje]

Like what?

[crisisrain]

Doin' stuff I really should do, listenin' to orders. Mostly productive stuff.

[latkje]

Problems with authority, hmmm?

[crisisrain]

Sometimes, I just don't like havin' to carry burdens and do stuff I don't wanna do.

[latkje]

But if you don't carry them, someone else will. Or worse, no one'll carry them at all, and the burdens will sit and rot all by their lonesome.

[crisisrain]

Burdens aren't exactly a good thing ta have, it'd be better if they're left alone in the rotting garden.

[latkje]

If everyone thought that, nothing would ever get done!

[crisisrain]

If they did think that, then burdens wouldn't exist in the first place!

Long as people carry their own burdens instead of pushin' them onto other people then I guess that's fine.

[latkje]

Ah, but burdens are like advice, and meant to be passed on. They're never of any use to yourself.

That's duty's charm: it can always be shirked.

[crisisrain]

No way, ya shouldn't go dumpin' yer burdens on someone else to clean up!
