[It was back to the usual for Gold and Silver. Silver's little stunt he'd pulled on the draft kept him out of commission for a while, so today was the first day in a while they've had the chance to really train together. Prior drafts have made them realize that while they know how to handle Pokémon enemies, they're up a creek without a paddle against seasoned warriors. To that end, they're trying to create a training simulation with human enemies in it. Which brings them to today's dilemma.]

We should fight pirates, Silver.

[Silver considers it for a moment. Pirates. Pirates... Yeah, no way.]

Let's go for ninjas. They're more of a threat.

[Gold just raises an eyebrow at Silver. Guuuuurrrl you craycray.]

No way, dude. Pirates are way more dangerous! Scourge of the seven seas and all that!

They're dangerous because they have some fancy title? No way. Ninjas would be done with their job before you knew what hit you.

Oooh, yeah, because hiding in shadows like a coward is soooo deadly. Pirates get right down to business and do what needs to be done!

You just wish you understood a thing about strategy and timing. Dumb dramatic pirates are perfect for you.

Like you know anything about that! Stupid cowardly ninjas are a match made in heaven for you! We're fightin' pirates!

You go ahead and fight pirates, then. You're too oblivious and blockheaded to lay a single finger on a ninja anyway.

[Gold just glares at Silver for a moment, incredibly cross. Stupid Silver and his stupid words and his stupid stupid stupidness stupid--

...Aha, idea.] Izzat so? Well, you'd know blockheadedness. You're the king of it! But I've got a way to solve our little dilemma... [And out he pulls his journal! Without even a moment's hesitation, he begins recording!]

[Voice-only]

Hey, tell this moron here [briefly flashing the journal in Silver's direction] that pirates are best!

[Wh- that- OH NO YOU DID NOT JUST GO THERE

GUUUUURL

Silver grabs Gold's journal and shoves him over before pointing it right at his stupid best friend.] Or you can tell this loser that ninjas are so much better!

You take that back!

You heard me! Only a loser would like pirates!

And only a moron would like ninjas!

Ninjas!

Pirates!

Ninjas!

Pirates!

[At this point, Gold drops the journal and dives at Silver, causing the book to close and the feed to end.

Aww, here it goes again.]

((ooc: Joint post with Gold and Silver! Order will go either Gold > Silver > you, or Silver > Gold > You!))

[...Whoa, Shikamaru raised his voice.

That definitely gets Silver to shut up.]

You think so? It doesn't seem to be a problem for them, but I guess not all ninjas have capes. But I still think it adds an element of cool that pirates don't have.

[Capes are a bit flashy, but he's not going to say that out loud.]

It doesn't matter. They're capes. [Lance's answer simplified in five words.]

A pirate would look cooler in a cape than a ninja would.

[...]

Yeah, I don't think so.

[Really Gold? REALLY?]

No. Nice try. [Gold please.]

Ninjas, definitely ninjas. I know that by experience!

[ sorry, Gold. acting in Full Metal Cop has taught her that ninjas are totally awesome, even if she was playing a crappy villain. ]

...By experience? [Do go on.]

By experience? [Pretty much at the same time as Silver.

also wow Mei those movies should be a point against ninjas considering Sneasel Ninja got their ass kicked every time by Mecha Cop.]

But making it general makes it less fair to decide. I mean, I've always admired pirates, but I didn't like the ones I met back home, but I do like the ones I know here.

(She continues to smile and even let out another giggle.)

I am glad that I have been forgiven for not having enough knowledge to aid the both of my lords. I shall do my best to learn from this.

(Okay, perhaps not all Beorcs were bad and evil. These two alone are proving that with their amusing behaviour.)

Besides, pirates are typically a lot more dangerous... it's hard to overpower a cannon. Or even a pistol.

[Man he hasn't had a dumb argument like this in forever, he is way too ready for this.]

[Ingo's not really one for this kind of fight, but.... it's good to see Silver looking more lively, anyway. So he'll do it. Sure.]

But they are also typically more obnoxious and predictable-- in the stereotypical examples, anyway. In a ninja's case, they tend to use more delicate, intricate fighting styles-- with stealth and subterfuge. You won't get many surprises out of pirates.

Hm, I see... [After a moment of thought, he speaks up.]

If we're talking in terms of fighting, ninjas do have the advantage of stealth in being able to attempt preemptive strikes against their opponents, as well as usually having the advantage of being faster than their opponent and able to slip back into the shadows for an escape. However, ninjas usually rely solely on their own strength or sharp-tasting weaponry like say, knives, shuriken, or even swords. Pirates on the other hand usually don't limit themselves to just swords, they will also resort to other styles of fighting too, like guns, explosives, or the cannons they use for their ships, and are considered to have quite a ruthless taste when it comes to getting what they want. It's part of why they had such a legacy of being feared on the seas, and even on land for some people...

[...He's watched a lot of movies (and been in one as a pirate) enough to put a lot of thought into this, okay. ~~As well as talking in circles not stating exactly which side he's for...~~]

Wow, this is more confusing than I thought it'd be! Too bad I never fought any robot ninjas... Wait, can robots be ninjas? [You fool, what have you done?]

Pirates versus Ninjas? Don't we have both in Luceti?

Um... Maybe I could flip a coin?

[You guys are making this seriously hard.]

But pirates do get to adventure all the time, and that's pretty cool...

I can't prove it very well. It's not like I can ask every pirate in the world if they're a criminal or not. But I think it's implied in the word, and everything. Piracy is, well...against the law.

[It's okay Silver, he still said ninjas are cool... !]

Yeah! Though I mean, I guess the pirates are more of the bad guys, huh...

What's the tally so far, anyway? [And why does it even matter? Not that she'll say the last part aloud, of course, but she's thinking it. Let the boys argue, it's funny.]

[ Beware of Gold's cute girl harem, Silver. ]

A.. ah, well, that's-- [ the truth, hence why she sputters as she tries to look for an excuse. ] .. It's just what I really think!

Mmhm! [ nod nod. ] I played a ninja in a movie - they're totally cool and stealthy and awesome! Pirates just look smelly.

[ DETAILS, DETAILS. the concept of ninjas is still kick-ass. ]

From where I'm standing it's really not much of a competition.

Aren't those both the same things?

[ is she missing something here...? ]

Really? Then I suppose I'll take out the obligation.
