Ogre-King of Bandits

74 - "An offer you can't refuse."

“His name is Dartz. D-A-R-T-Z.” Raphael handed the ogre a picture. He’d need to know what the man he was offering to kill looked like. “The more drawn out, the better.”

[sakexandxnihilism]

"I can make it happen, I suppose." The ogre looked at the picture, considering his options. The offer was--well too good to refuse. Payment would be rendered, even if money wasn't something he necessarily needed, and he'd walk away with the chance to get more wine if all went well. He decided to ignore the reason why he couldn't say no--it didn't bear thinking on. "I won't record it. I'll bring you back something to show it's done, though."

There are characters I would probably die for but at the same time I get personally offended when people say “They’re a pure cinnamon roll who did nothing wrong uwu” like EXCUSE ME, they did a lot of things wrong, they are a walking dumpster fire, do not deny their crimes.

The Song period was a turning point in understandings of the Sanguo era and in the portrayal of the central characters of the age in private historiography. Revisionist historians, through their active rewriting of Chen Shou’s SGZ, forged a kind of creative historiography that sought to connect vividly realised character portrayals with understandings of the immanence of the Dao in history. Members of the elite from the Southern Song onwards played an indispensable role in the pronounced pro-Shu bias of the late imperial period. These new understandings were the product of the intersection between the moralism of Daoxue, with its insistence on a simplified and clear articulation of the zhengtong, and popular entertainments such as storytelling and drama, which circulated broadly amongst the population at large. It follows that the pro-Shu bias of the Sanguo yanyi does not derive solely from stories told in popular performing arts but also from biases in pre-existing historiography. Nor are “popular” or anecdotal sources used only occasionally, or reluctantly. Quite the contrary, matter from “the Minor Way” was a core component in Sanguo history writing centuries before the Sanguo yanyi was composed. The conventional view that the fictional element in the Sanguo yanyi is a mere “concession” to popular taste is less persuasive when viewed from the vantage point of this turning point in Song historiography.

So a reminder that when he wants, Shuten Doji can grow to three times his height and then stomp around like a drunk throwing a temper tantrum.

“Have you ever stopped to consider Brother Sun'dai? How one so young lives so vibrantly and according to your teachings?” The older monk spoke with a slow and deliberate tone to his remonstration, motioning to the youthful adherent that was out of earshot but not out of sight in amongst the plum gardens. “See how everything he sees and experiences is new to him; even when he does the mundane he finds a surprise.”

The monk that was currently being remonstrated could not disagree with that. It had only been that morning that, while he was sweeping the leaves from the steps of the temple, Brother Sun'dai had taken the broom and begun to make music out of the brush-sweeps. In the next moment, he was stopping most everyone passing by to show them this new thing with such exuberance that one might have thought he’d have uncovered the final resting place of Master Qu Xuan.

“That is what we adhere to in this temple; to find and embrace the surprises that spring forth and grant us joy and experience. Not two lotus blossoms are perfectly similar so see each as if you were seeing a lotus for the first time.” The elder monk stopped and looked up as a low humming came from the gardens. Brother Sun'dai was engaged in work, pruning one of the trees and humming a chant to himself. Perhaps he felt eyes on him and that was why he turned and waved to the elder monks talking about him. He smiled–and then the branch he was pruning broke free and fell on him. There was a moment of stunned silence from all parties, not the least of which was Brother Sun'dai, before the young man pulled himself from under the pile of leaves and limbs, sat up cross-legged on the grass and LAUGHED.

“That’s the third time he’s done that, Master Lin. Are you certain that he is not simply–” The monk motioned to the side of his head in a gesture that did little to obscure his meaning. The older monk let out a breath at this and shook his snowy-haired head, stroking his beard in thought.

“I have seen him take many blows to the head and laugh them off–I think perhaps he is simply too much a fool, as they say, to know when he should be in pain. But here now, Master Qu Xuan was also such a ‘fool’.”

“Hope it ends up being worth all the trouble.” He curled his legs up beneath him as he drank, motioning with the mouth of the gourd to his talking partner. “But if you find this person and the universes are united then what will you do? We can share a drink to celebrate.”

For all his talk, the tone was as it always was–ponderous and rumbling and seeming to have no drive behind it. “But first I suppose I need know what I have to do. I love fighting but you’ve never seen me do it, have you?”

“Doesn’t matter. As long as have my bloodshed.” A Saiyan wasn’t a Saiyan unless they were in the thresholds of battle. “Drink after war is satisfying. But once I get what I want–I have a few other scores to settle.”

Fu was only the tip of the iceberg. He wanted a rematch with those Saiyans–the ones who mastered the divine arts. And of course his arch enemy, the one true Saiyan who could claim to truly become one with the divine. 

“It’s up to Hearts. Otherwise we’ll just kill you or stick you somewhere they you won’t be a burden.” 

[sakexandxnihilism]

“You’re welcome to try to first but it will probably end with you needing to do the second. Both won’t be worth the trouble.” He finished the liquor and licked his lips in thought. “And it would be a shame because then, in either way, we couldn’t share a drink.” This Hearts sounded, as some of Shuten Dojo’s friends would say, like he was ‘quite a character’. A sort of anticipation was welling up in the ogre’s chest.
