[i]"YOU THINK THAT KEEPING A PSYCHOPATHIC DRUG USER IS FINE THEN, BAL?!"[/i]
[u]"Orn, she's not a psychopath!"[/u]

[u]Balthazar's hammer flies into his hand in mere seconds, his temper almost getting the better of him.[/u] B:"[i][u][b]NO YOU BLOODY IDIOT! I'M ONLY HERE BECAUSE I WAS ESCORTING THIS DRUG FUELED GUN WORSHIPPING NUTCASE, AND I COME TO FIND YOU AND YOUR -blam!-IN BESTIE FIGHTIN OVER SOME BITCH WHO GIVES THIS -blam!-IN IDIOT TO SHOOT ME IN THE -blam!-IN FOOT! THEN I FALL INTO YOU AND YOU GET MAD AT ME! I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHO THIS OTHER -blam!-IN DRUG ADDICT IS, BUT SHE SURE AS HELL ISN'T WORTH SETTING ME OFF TO THE POINT WHERE I'M READY TO KILL A FRIEND OUT OF ANGER![/b][/u][/i]" [u]Balthazar seethes with anger as The Preacher hides slightly behind Smough's massive figure. He leans over to Smough and whispers in his ear.[/u] PT:"[i]I'm all for her staying. She's one of my fellow worshippers, so I can't let her get kicked out, can I?[/i]"

[u]"It's your choice on what to do, bud."[/u] [i]"JUST..."[/i] [b]Orn looks like he's on the verge of snapping.[/b]

[u]The blue flames surrounding Balthazar scorch the ground, turning the stone into molten magma.[/u] B:"[u][i][b]Now, I don't who the hell this Iza is, but I don't think she's worth keepin' in th' damned Dojo if she's gonna make this much conflict. For all it's worth, I think she should take 'er things and get th' 'el ou of our Dojo.[/b][/i][/u]"

[u]"Bal...come on, bud. Just because she has problems doesn't mean she should get kicked out over them."[/u] [b]Smough has lowered his hammer.[/b]

[u]Balthazar shakes his head.[/u] B:"[i][b][u]She's already cause me t' nearly lose me temper, an' that isn't somethin' that I'd like to do. She ain't worth fightin' over, and she sure as hell isn't worth my temper. Plus, I can't support anything this nutcase-[/u][/b][/i]" [u]He gestures towards The Preacher. [/u] B:"[u][i][b]Thinks is okay.[/b][/i][/u]

[i]"Good to know, Bal. Smough, it's time to surrender. Now."[/i] [u]"She hasn't done anything wrong. Why do this, Orn?" [/u]
-
[u]Balthazar steps forward.[/u] "[i][u][b]She's already creating conflict. In fact, she's associated with this nutcase, who'd probably make her even more of a danger. I tried getting him out, but he alluded me and the minute I caught him shot me in the foot. LITERALLY! [/b][/u][/i]
-
[u]"You think she would want this? Orn escalated this to the point that it's becoming a conflict. Bal, you're better than this."[/u]
-
[u]Balthazar cracks his knuckles on his hammer's grip.[/u] B:"[i][u][b]Listen. I need... Peace. You know the bonds that keep Po from letting loose? Well, they're getting weaker. The more conflict and destruction that occurs, the more power I have to use to keep the seal intact. I need her and that Preacher gone, or the seal's going to break. You see these flames? These things are the pre-cursors to a break. I don't want to end up destroying the Dojo because I couldn't keep control.[/b][/u][/i]
