A masked woman called out, which at this point meant that she wanted in on the conversation. Oddly enough, Yona didn't like the look on her face...it was way too aggressive. Khavius looked to the player, then looked to the actively debating players. Perhaps letting it be a three on three would be a better option than two on three. "I'll allow it." He stated. Krysta seemed to recognize this player, addressing her as Ellyria. Despite Krysta's confusion, the player took her side of the debate. She then proceeded to prepare a nine-part opening statement, a claim followe

Krysta looked Yona in the eye, wondering... "What is she playing at...?" Her thoughts aside, she needed to get back on track and onto the discussion. "I still fail to see how polygamy can be healthy, but I shall humor you for the sake of our discussion." She stated. Khavius nodded, the players seemed to have the conversation flowing smoothly right now...and he could only hope it does not collapse. Koharu would get this part of the debate rolling. "As I mentioned earlier, polygamy might work if everyone involved was willing to get along and play their parts fairly and equally. The loved and the

Shulko asked The two players on the opposition a question, and their answers would be pointed out to contradict their stance on the assumption that heaven was real. Yona couldn't keep herself from laughing when she saw those priceless looks on their faces. "Damn, he’s got you both. Should heaven and hell exist, you would be committing Polygamy in Heaven if you and both the people you married were all going there." She remarked. Well, there was nothing left on that little point, so onto the next branch of the topic, right? "Seeing that little detail noted, let’s get back to the present, “mortal

Yona chose to disruptively insert herself into the discussion, but the moderator, Khavius, despite appearing to be disgruntled, allowed Yona's entry, and gave her a chance to speak. She made a point of the cluster of grapes example, claiming that it was impossible for a bunch of grapes to be equivalent to one instance of family due to the limits of one mother's potential. Well, if Yona believed that she could simply jump into a discussion like this, she must be ready to have her stance challenged. "Objection!" "There was a couple who had about nineteen

Krysta needed to experience growing pains, Others who may be listening needed to know that not every free aspect of life was "evil", and now Koharu and Shulko were cornered. Yona took a deep breath. It was time to act. "Hold it!" Yona leaped from her seating, and onto the proper position of a stand beside the one Shulko and Koharu were in. "Weren’t expecting me to show up, were you? Well too bad, I’m here." She remarked. Khavius took a deep breath. "Always wanting to add on, always wanting to make sure the side they support wins...this happens every time..." He

Krysta's free hand clenched at her stand. "Oh...I have words." Now Koharu was looking worried. "This is going to end well, right...?" Krysta stood up straight. She had every intention to set the record straight. "From what I know, there are some Bibles out there with study notes by a theologian named John MacArthur. What he noted on Gideon was that he had fallen severely into the sin of polygamy, that although it was tolerated back in that time, it was an iniquity that was against God’s given blueprint for marriage, which was the phrase 'two become one'. Two become

Khavius had his palm to his forehead and his face down on his stand. "At this rate, Taft should be paying me to put up with this shit..." He grumbled. Not that they'd pay him enough if they did. It started going downhill in terms of seriousness when Shulko came in yelling "Objection!" like it was an Objection.lol video on Youtube... But even when the topics were serious, the air certainly wasn't, not that the tension and heat of the debate changed, only a few additional words thrown around...maybe it was serious after all, it was just that the thrown words began throwing him off...after all, t

Koharu seemed to be in thought. Khavius looked at the situation. "Tell us, any of you, is there anything else relevant to this topic that you're willing to cover?" He asked the four players. Koharu smiled, nodded, then looked to Krysta. "Krysta...you said you live by virtue, right? And the fact that you seem to have a certain belief… Maybe it’s time to pull out some…particular examples." She considered. Krysta was uncertain of what kind of examples she was talking about, and she was getting concerned that she might not want to know. Shulko looked to Koharu with a smirk. "You going where I thin

♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ Slender fingers wove themselves between his, providing an anchor he desperately needed and had previously been lacking. So many times, he had tried to get this out and couldn’t. He’d once offered to be her anchor, yet here she was being his, and he loved her dearly for it. It also made the revelations that much harder, panicked warnings of betrayal stabbing furiously at his heart, never to let that thing be given voice. "You're hurting... you're hurting bad, and you can barely comprehend it.. can you?" No response could do justice to such a question. Looking upon Vio

The day was likely to be a long one. His companions seemed to be having a bit of trouble finding their required materials. In their defense though it was likely the location itself being picked clean. Typically Wulfrin only brough maybe one or two players at a time, as players willing to risk their safety net within the Town of Beginnings or the other safe zones of Aincrad were few and far between. That meant there was a larger amount of foot traffic collecting up everything the system could produce faster than it was able to conjure the items into the world. In short the area was being picked

"Sadly no," Wulfrin sighed not even having noticed the other player approaching. Finally he turned to where the voice had originated from. "I take it you're here for the same reason I am, overheard some rumor and are here to follow up? Seems we're both having bit of low luck going for us. Might be best we team up, we could likely cover more ground and our quest logs will also update at the same time." As it turns out though, their luck might be turning around. A burly 6 foot 2 human, a stark contrast from the non-human races that populated the town. Hailed the duo and was asking about the

Krysta asked if Alanin's claims of Shulko having body pillows were true, and if he actually had five waifus. Shulko would give an honest answer, revealing that he had a whole list of waifus and a small collection of body pillows. "Damn," Yona thought aloud. "This guy's got some serious courage..." She began to wonder if Shulko's taste in waifus was based. The guy gave a multitude of vibes, so it was difficult to tell what the answer would likely be. Krysta remarked that this sounded promiscuous, but fiction was fiction, it wouldn't be relevant in real life, it just tells how many fictional gir

Krysta had a question to ask, and with the diffusion of Alanin's poking and jabbing dealt with, she would look to Shulko. "Shulko, is any of this true? Do you actually have five...erm, 'waifus"?" She asked awkwardly. Shulko placed one hand on his side, and the other would scratch his head. "I’ve uh, got a bit of a list, actually…and maybe a small collection of body pillows." He admitted. Krysta blinked. It was more than she expected, and she was hoping the answer to the question was false. "With all due respect, Shulko, that sounds rather...promiscuous..." Krysta remarked.

Things were getting heated in the wrong way again. Shulko would continue the conversation, but Alanin decided to strike the wrong nerve with his counterpoint. Shulko's response caught Khavius's attention, in what probably wasn't a good way, judging by the man's expression. When Alanin spoke again, both Krysta and Koharu did what they could to try and diffuse the situation. Khavius kept his eyes on Alanin for the time being, watching to see what he would do next, what he would say next. While the others were doing their best to moderate themselves and each other, it wasn't necessary, for that w

Shulko would proceed to put the conversation back on track, before the topic of pettiness could derail it. "We've all got desires pal, and we gotta grow to accept realities, that much is true. But a guy can dream, and it doesn’t hurt him to go for it, assuming no one else gets hurt in the process. What does he have to lose?" He asked. Alanin pulled himself back up, ready to answer. "Himself, of course. He’ll go through his life seeking his dream, even if it kills him. He might think he isn’t being hurt, but his tendencies are likely to be self-destructive at that p

Yona waved and winked when Krysta made eye contact with her. She didn't care that she'd drawn the attention of others as well, she was just having a good time watching this go down. Khavius would ask the debating players to continue, and the redheaded newcomer would speak. He claimed that those who seek polygamy and polyamory are under delusions of their own making. Yona already disagreed. Shulko made a remark that jabbed at the player for his personal experience, which was actually true, as he turned out to be Alanin, the Knight rejected by a princess. Now it all made sense. No wonder Krysta

Upon Koharu's words, a familiar voice called out. Krysta looked in the direction of the voice to spot Yona. "Yona? What are you doing here?" Krysta thought. Khavius was facepalming, and with a deep sigh, he'd address the debating players. "Carry on." He spoke. Alanin would continue the conversation. "Most who seek polyamory are under delusions of their own making; they seek only what they crave and will not stop until someone pulls them out and back into reality. You can trust me on this one, I’ve learned that the hard way, despite being monogamous myself." He stated. "Hold it!"

Yona watched the debate continue. Shulko made the point of relationships being a two-way street, which was undeniably true. Krysta would claim that resources would prove to be a factor, which, unfortunately, was also true. Koharu would make a remark that could easily be considered political, for, regardless of where one stood, there were many who could agree that greedy swine were running the show. "Louder for the people in the back!" Yona called out. Wealth was a form of power and influence, which not many believed, yet it was true. Sure, Yona wanted to return to a

Krysta blinked, uncertain of what to say or do. "...Leon...?" She muttered. Alanin looked to her and nodded. "Worry not, my lady. I understand your answer, and I will be helping you in this endeavor." He stated. Krysta was confused. He seemed to be willing to let Krysta make her choices, yet it was as though he still hadn't gotten over her just yet. Hopefully the debate could continue without getting too...awkward. Shulko would give his response to the claim that Alanin made to Koharu. "I dunno what you’re talking about, man. If I can watch over my five younger sisters, I’m sur

Yona was kind of surprised that the debate was happening in such a way. Maybe Khavius was seeing their discussion as flowing well enough that he wouldn't need to intervene very much? Koharu provided two examples of theoretical relationships, one healthy, the other unhealthy. Perhaps her examples would have held more water if she had a healthy and unhealthy example for both relationship categories? And with another Objection, another player entered the debate, taking Krysta's side and attempting to break down Koharu's example. Yona wasn't feeling very sure about this, where would

Krysta watched as Koharu appeared to be in thought for a moment. After a fair pause, she would give her thoughts. "If we’re being honest, it doesn’t matter if it’s monogamy or polygamy, the risk of the love not being real is always the same. What it really depends on is the people involved in the relationship." She claimed. "Say there were two men in relationships, one is in a monogamous relationship, and the other is in a polygamous relationship. The man in the monogamous relationship wants his lover only, and only her. However, his want is not out of love, but of lustful desire. This is a co

This was just getting better. Krysta was definitely holding herself exclusively and tightly, and from Yona's perspective, Shulko and Koharu were trying to help her see the light and question where she really stood. Whatever was holding her to this standard, it had to have been rooted somewhere within her past...after all, such things usually are tied to one's past and childhood experiences. She could have easily become strict because she grew up in a strict environment. Yona knew well of excessively standardized parental rule, for she was one of the ones who became a rebel instead of an enforc

The debate continued, with Krysta responding to Koharu's latest point. "I will not deny that. However, I still believe polyamory is morally wrong. Love is not a web, nor is it a post that multiple strings are attached to. Lust, however, knows no standard, and is always seeking more." She claimed. Koharu and Shulko looked to each other, and with a nervous chuckle, Shulko would give his own two col to try and defend Koharu's stance. "Polygamy isn’t necessarily a black hole of Lust, Princess. You’re right that people within the relationship should consult with each other and consent before lettin

Yona continued to watch as the debate proceeded, now that the message situation was over with. Krysta declared herself as strictly monogamous, to which Yona raised an eyebrow because this may have suggested to her that Krysta did not fully understand the situation...or perhaps had a certain perspective on the situation. Shulko pointed out within her words that she said difficult, rather than impossible, but Krysta would then claim that it would be easier to put a horse through the eye of a needle...what kind of comparison was that? That's, like, literally the definition of impossible.
