I would appreciate greatly appreciate it if those of you not directly involved in binding the Nightmare King or protecting those of us who did would stop saying that "we" defeated the being. You did not. You survived, and though this may be admirable, it does not mean that you would have without those of us who actually did the work.

I agree.

This might be the first time we've agreed on something.

Ms. Schreiber, this is hardly appropriate. In addition to the impact on morale, I don't think this is going to encourage crew solidarity.

Morale built on false premises seems less like a good thing to me than like a case of aggravated hubris.

You have heard of the collective "we" haven't you? We're supposed to be a unit - a group of people who work together. They take as much pride in your accomplishments as they do their own in simply surviving. It wasn't easy and I doubt much more training on my end would have resulted in a different outcome.

As it is, this crew barely holds together and if we further divide ourselves, our next challenge may become even more difficult - as I recall part of the call before this affair was that we stand together. In that sense, I believe the crew preformed admirably.

This is the last I want to hear of this. Understood?

You can want whatever you'd like.

I'm making it an order to a member of the magical department, then. Bring these issues to myself first before speaking publicly on them.

[toariversodeep.livejournal.com]

Then I will speak in an unofficial capacity if I find it required.

[captain-jtk.livejournal.com]

If you can't be polite, don't speak on it all. Do I make myself absolutely clear?

Consider me no longer a member of the magical department.

Consider your ability to practice any form of magic aboard this ship revoked without permission from myself or Nanoha.

Come stop me if you'd like. One of Mao Tse Tsung's quotes seems relevant.

As uncharitable such a thought is, I'm inclined to agree...

How are you, Roxie?

I will need some time to recover. It is fortunate that one of these devices can be used with minimal body movement.

That is understandable... Sheik and I have been sleeping for much of the time since the defeat.

Take care of yourself? Those wounds looked serious - I am sorry I was not able to help heal you afterwards.


((OOC: I'm going with 'too drained to do much other than get to the nearest bed after spending too much magic' for the aftermath of the battle, for now.))

My injuries are substantially more spiritual than physical. I'm not sure how much you would have been able to help.

[redeyes_andblue]

But even if I could help with the physical side... once I have rested and my magic has been largely restored, would you like me to try anyway?

And yet, those of us directly involved are the ones with no desire to celebrate and just want to crawl back to our holes.

Food for thought.

[toariversodeep.livejournal.com]

I know this very well.
