T'sunami, chuckling slightly. Of coarse the Thief would have the party
unsafe, without a leader. All the quicker they'd perish in the ruins so she
could pick over their belongings as with Berryblood. "No," he says, shaking
his head, "even a dragon can't survive without its head. This is a decision
that has to be made now instead ignoring it in /hopes/ we aren't put in a
situation where we need leadership."

"I propose," T'sunami says slowly, "That Nightwind's calm appearance is due
to the fact he has not provided the party with any significant input during
this trip, and seems to keep to himself. Without meaning to offend,
Nightwind, a stronger force of will and more active roll is a requirement to
lead namegivers."

T'sunami's sigh is heavy, tired of listening to baseless prattle. There
were important decisions to made, and by leaving, certain people were
showing just what contempt they had for any unity that they were trying to
build.
"Hopefully when Siri wakes up in the morning, she'll realize this isn't a
game - that our lives our at state every time we head into the ruins, and
that some of us care enough to make these hard decisions. Illyana and Siri
don't condescend to finish the conversation - I don't see that as a problem.
As Grendahl has stated, neither of them would serve the roll sufficiently
anyway.
"I think we obviously feel that no one here would make a perfect leader.
The challenge is to make do with what we have. I know I would rather be
alive at the end of the day than feeling my superior is my closest friend.
That's why I feel my experience may be applicable. But leaders aren't made
by their own words - a consensus must be made here. The question is, who
else then do you wish to consider?"

And deny us the chance to RP? :) Naw, IC is working. Our characters think
how they do, as does yours. If Siri disagrees there's no reason not to say
so, but that's not a reason for us not to play our characters out.
I mean, tying not to be offensive, that's rather hypocritical. Everything
Siri said could start an arguement very easily - if she should express her
opinions, I think we should, too. I know I haven't had a problem with the
debating and arguing - it's the only real way to make a decision other than
metagame and not RP. Considering we're not around a table together, and are
going to be sending emails no matter which way we go, why not make it IC?
