Chance just rolled his eyes. "Now I don't even know that I want to know what it is, just from that. It sounds ******** weird, though I think I've heard the name before."
He shook his head. "Jeez. And here I thought this place would be more...more."

Leslie shrugged. "It's just like, a kid's game. But it's like, toys and s**t, and a show, and it was everywhere. Your leader has a boner for it. Not entirely sure it's platonic if you know what I mean." He put out his cigarette, and pulled out a new one, lighting it too. "You and me both, s**t. I was promised power and while it's comin', it's sure taking its ********' time."

"That's awkward as ********> said Chance, sounding mildly horrified. "I'm not even sure I want to know more about him now."
He twisted in his chair to give Leslie a look. "What sort of power were you promised? Anything specific?"

Leslie snickered to himself, deciding it was a job well done, but grew solemn at the question. "Just that I'd be stronger than any normal human. That it would set me free in a way that normal humanity couldn't. And that much's true. It's different here, even if it's all bullshit on top. But when we go out, we go out to fight and die if we have to. That has to mean something, ******** if I know what, though."

Chance listened with a certain amount of thoughtfulness, his brow furrowing. Lacing his fingers together over his stomach, he leaned back and flicked his gaze skyward, not looking at anything in particular.
"The freedom is nice, I will admit. Here is a helluva lot better than where I was, even if that power that was promised to me as well isn't quite here yet. But I'll be damned if I know what that sort of thing means either."

Leslie snorted. "Freedom with strings. A few leave days, s**t pay-- even minus food 'n board-- freedom as long as we march the way they want, and risk ourselves and s**t. But it's what I signed up for and it's better than the clink. Heh." He waved at Chance with a dismissive gesture. "Like you said. New and s**t. As long as you don't slack, you'll come into it. Even I managed to rank up, so anyone can."

A snort passed through his lips. "Everything has strings attached these days," said Chance mildly. "I prefer it the opposite myself; just do what you can, when you can, and whatever is the outcome is the outcome."
He ran a hand through his hair absentmindedly. "I've never been a slacker, just prefer my rut," he added, sliding a smile in Leslie's direction. "So that makes you a rank above me, does it? You're an Intermediate, right?"
