Just what the hell is this?!

[Zarbon is wearing a lovely collar that strips him of his powers. And he is not happy.]

When I find the ones responsible for this outrage-...!

[He slams a fist against the wall and glares. He doesn't even finish the thought, just seethes.]

Well, yes, but I suppose I meant aside from that. You are not hurt, at least?

[Video]

[beautiful-brute.livejournal.com]

[He mutters under his breath]

As if such individuals could hurt me...

[Video]

[ginsengismyfave.livejournal.com]

Well, if you say so. I just want to make sure.

[Video]- Zarbon is a jerk. Apologies in advance.

[beautiful-brute.livejournal.com]

And I suppose you would have done something about it had I been hurt?

[Cynicism and skepticism abound.]

You are quite the caring old man, aren't you?

[Video] it's all good

[ginsengismyfave.livejournal.com]

Perhaps. But you are not injured, so there is no need to speculate.

[Video]

[beautiful-brute.livejournal.com]

I wonder. Do you check up on everyone like this? Are you really so soft-hearted?

[Chuckle]

Save your concern for the fools who need it.

[Video]

[ginsengismyfave.livejournal.com]

I do not think concern for others is being soft-hearted. It is easy to care for yourself, but harder to care for others.

[Video]

[beautiful-brute.livejournal.com]

You truly believe that?

[Braid flip]

How laughable.

[Video]

[ginsengismyfave.livejournal.com]

I do. I don't find it laughable at all. The world would be a much harder place if everyone only cared for themselves. Perhaps it could not even exist.

[Video]

[beautiful-brute.livejournal.com]

Or perhaps the strong would triumph.

[Video]

[ginsengismyfave.livejournal.com]

And feud amongst each other, I imagine. It would not be a kind world.

[Video]

[beautiful-brute.livejournal.com]

That's life.

[Braid flip. Again.]

The universe is full of all manner of unkind forces.

[Video]

[ginsengismyfave.livejournal.com]

It is. But it need not be so. Unkindness from humans is something that can be avoided.

[Video]

[beautiful-brute.livejournal.com]

Humans?

[Chuckle]

What exactly are 'humans'? Is that what you earthlings call yourselves?

[Video]

[ginsengismyfave.livejournal.com]

[Well, of course Zarbon isn't from Earth. The green hair and skin's sort of a giveaway.]

Yes. But regardless of what we are, we need not be cruel to each other.

[Video]

[beautiful-brute.livejournal.com]

If that's the case, I suggest you take this collar off of me. It's cruel to ask one such as myself to wear such a thing.

[Video]

[ginsengismyfave.livejournal.com]

But it is not undeserved, is it? You did something to earn that collar. It's meant to teach you a lesson.

[Video]

[beautiful-brute.livejournal.com]

.........

[Zarbon doesn't like being told that.]

A lesson? I don't need to be taught anything.

[Video]

[ginsengismyfave.livejournal.com]

Then perhaps you need that collar more than you know.

[Video]

[beautiful-brute.livejournal.com]

[Seeeeeeeeeethe.]

[ginsengismyfave.livejournal.com]

[Calm smile. He'll learn, perhaps.]
