"So would you rather get 1000 stacks of wheat—enough to feed a fatass like you for the rest of your life, or have dinner with Malinoa the Mighty?
"Malinoa the Mighty, obviously. . . You'd have to be a dumbass to pick anything other than that" Oto said, "if I have dinner with Malinoa, I get the opportunity to make friends with him, and then from that point on, I'm golden. I would have not only gained a new friend, but access to an endless amount of food, water, clothing, money—the list could go on forever."
"What if he said no to doing all that for you?"
"Then clearly the man's a selfish prick. You're saying he has all that power but can't spare a friend some help? It's not like he's going to run out of his magic or some shit."
"If I could have dinner with him then I'd probably go kill him"
"That's a crime—you'd be thrown in some high security prison, probably one in an isolated mountain range kilometers above humanity, or on an island a country's distance away from any other land. The water will also probably be infested with mermaids and mermen—I hear those buggers are ferocious and will kill the shit out of people."
"Yeah—but then if I was able to kill Malinoa, none of them would come anywhere near me in that prison. After all, he's called 'mighty' for a reason. Dude is the closest thing to a walking magic shooting machine as anyone out there. If I caught him off guard at dinner and killed him with a simple dinner knife or my bare hands, could you imagine how many of those tough criminals would piss their pants just watching me walk through the halls? The whole world would remember my name, Ingrid Argenston for killing that old prick with such little effort."
"Never really thought of it like that" he sipped his coffee as they both talked at the diner. "Guess that just goes to show that out of the two of us, I'm obviously the more peaceful and loving person."
"To hell with your peace and love. I've never been in a situation where any of that stopped a fight from happening or somebody dying."
"Maybe that's because you've never tried it."
Suddenly, the front door of the diner burst open to reveal some type of robot that was about four or five feet in height, with four different grippy claw type legs. It walked in and suddenly opened the top of its head to reveal at least half a dozen different arms, which then once out, turned into a bunch of mini cannons that shot little pellets and lasers of blue light. It blocked the doorway, preventing anyone from escaping, and opened fire across the whole diner—immediately half the restaurant was killed and painted red.
Oto and Ingrid grabbed their weapons, which at this point were daggers and a battle axe. They jumped out of their chairs and lunged toward the robot, not giving it any time to fire again. They drove the sharp parts of their weapons into the robot and heard static-like sounds before it froze, lost all light, and then collapsed.
"Do you think peace and love would've saved us there?"
"I hate you" Oto muttered to Ingrid, before shouting to everyone in the building. "Alright everyone, judging by the explosion noises coming from outside, there is more where that came from! So I suggest you all try to stay hidden, because we don't know shit about who we're up against."
"You ready?"
"Hell yeah" they said to each other, before walking outside to see chaos. . .
