Eighth shot [Video]

[Rip seems to be taking  today in stride. It seems that her usual bloody meal was spiked somehow and now she's seeing things. To anyone who drank the purple drought, Rip is carrying on a conversation completely in German with an over sized floating fish that looks suspiciously like a  silver and gold comet tailed goldfish. 

Moments later the screen is blocked by a furry body and suddenly the inside of a familiar Hell cat's mouth is seen complete with sharp teeth.]

Hadewig! How many times haf I told you not to chew on zhat!  You vill hurt yourzelf!

That's a long ride. I hope you were able to visit despite that. That city's been through a lot, but I suppose it's become historical because of it.

At least it's over now, right? Sure, break outs like the angels happen from time to time, but most people are adamantly against war here. It's lucky.

It's a unique experience, certainly. But wars arise from discontent. There's no reason to fight so long as we can just understand each other.

Und vat about zhose vho fight for zhe sake of fighting? Vat of zhose zhat know nothing but bloodshed und var? Var iz beautiful, a master piece in it's own right~. An eternal chess game zhat few can play.

[She can't help but grin slightly.]

Hmmm. You're right. It's not fair to deprive them of what they want either. But if what makes them happy makes everyone else miserable... Why don't all of the war mongers and those who want to follow them get together and fight each other?

Then everyone wins, right?
