PART ONE

[The lights dim and you are no longer in a classroom, but a low key bar. An older gentleman from behind the counter is looking at you as if waiting for your next order. La Torre's voice comes from nowhere in particular:]

Today I have a story for you. Have you ever heard of the Human Condition? It's a conceited study of what traits innately make a human being a human being. Some say it can be defined as humanity's capacity for good and for evil. If a person has an infinite capacity for good then, like a mirror image, they must have an infinite capacity for evil, right?

There was a man. He was sitting at a bar. He couldn't accept the reality of his world. It was his lot in life to wish for a different lot; he was a selfish, small man. He drank. He drank to forget. He drank to obfuscate his understanding. He drank so he didn't have to accept.

You are sitting at a bar. Why are you drinking?

Metallic and bitter huh? Not sure I want to start with those two.

I wonder if that's the point.

They don't sound... tasty at all.

They don't, no.

[and yet he's ordering the metallic one anyway]
hungryman: (my two cents)

Seems like this is just the start... if it doesn't change I'll get to them eventually.
grandstanding: (Erm.)

It wouldn't surprise me if it changed every time.

Me either, so I'm going to go with whatever I'll enjoy most.

Trying to win but there's nothing that says I can't enjoy it too.
grandstanding: (Floating Head Villain.)

A good way to handle things. I have an appreciation for metal, so it seemed like a worthwhile first choice.
