-1-

[Pick some aspect of our modern culture. A TV show, a video game, a sport, whatever. Be creative. I shall have Rider experience it and give his thoughts on it.]

-2-

[The best time for soul searching is at the tail end of a massive party when everyone is slightly drunk. Rider, a goblet of wine in one hand, addresses you seriously.]

This is a fine revel, but that alone does not let me know your measure as a man/woman/individual [select appropriate].

Tell me, what would you say is the most important thing in life? What ideal do you value above all others?

-3-

[Battle is joined! Or at least, it will be in a moment. First, the enemy would have a word with you, under the flag of parley.]

This need not come to violence, my friend. You need only surrender and join my cause. Surely a peaceful resolution would be best?

[Despite his conciliatory words, he IS still addressing you from a massive chariot.]

-OR-

Just respond to this post with a character, either making up your own scenario or just leaving the comment blank. If you leave it blank, I shall do my best to come up with an entertaining situation for the characters involved.

Ha!

[He shouted the laugh loud enough that a couple people turned their heads in surprise.]

The living sword who wishes she were a shield.

[Saber doesn't flinch, but she does look at him a little sideways.]

It's a perfectly natural aspiration for a Honedge, thank you.

Anyway, being a Pokémon is a choice between fighting for your own sake and fighting for someone else's, is it not?

[chasingoceanus]

You say it as if it is not the same for us humans. All of life is a struggle.

[ofpromisedvictory]

Struggle, perhaps. Battle, specifically only seems to be universal among the lives of wild Pokémon.

[chasingoceanus]

Do not many pokemon live in peace here in Union?

But if you are so resigned to a life of battle, perhaps you should join my army!

[ofpromisedvictory]

...your "army"?

[Forgive her if she seems a bit skeptical, having not yet heard of this.]

[chasingoceanus]

My world bestriding army! With it I shall make this whole planet mine and claim tribute from all the kings of man!

[ofpromisedvictory]

I have no interest in such a thing.

Also, I've never seen this army.

[chasingoceanus]

Have a little faith. Some things are more important than the merely physical.

[ofpromisedvictory]

And yet you seek to claim tribute from "all the kings of man".

Now that I think about it, do any of the human settlements have a king? They seem to mostly be oligarchies.
