unpopular opinions

Do you think people are too sensitive? Or that Superman isn't so super? Think cats aren't cute? The Beatles are overrated? Love pineapple on pizza? Maybe you just don't like chips rly. Even the best of us have some controversial opinions. Let people know what a monster you are.

with your characters’ unpopular and/or controversial opinion. Or share few of them at once. In person or via text. Prepare for disagreement.

to tell them why they're wrong, validate a kindred spirit, or just troll them for caring about such a silly-ass thing in the first place.

Still counts. Someone used people's faith against 'em. Hell, I even got taken for a ride there. At least our acquaintanceship was real casual. [He cannot imagine how Saint could keep his faith after that. But he guesses it's in the name.]

That's two things we ain't in disagreement on. Shoulda crushed that ghost like an afterthought. Make a point of doin' it, even. And yeah, I ain't against fireteamin' up. But that ain't faith. That's an alliance to a common goal.

[It is not untrue. He had been... hurt by the witch, thinking Osiris had changed in ways that he could not understand.]

Better than never having faith at all. I would be dead if not for his faith.

I would like to string it up from rafters of the hangar.

A fireteam without faith in each other is a bad team. That is how you get killed.

A fireteam ain't about a lifelong friendship! It's about a task y'all gotta complete. An agreement that haul at the end is worth the effort.

[He says this but totally knows Eris got his back last time, and he figures that she would again.]

Yeah, well, don't pull a Shaxx and his damn skull. Damn fool let that woman [Savathun] rifle around in his head just 'cause he wanted to hang tight to his trophy. That said? It'd probably look good as armor decoration. Maybe we could go havesies. A "get" for me, an "accolade" for you.

No. Fireteam is about trusting others with you life. Having faith that they will watch your back, and you will watch theirs.

I did wonder about the skull. He has not mentioned the witch though.

It is very different to my accolades, but... I think might not be bad idea.

Guess I'm lucky my fireteaming up is few an' far between.

Nah, turns out that song he thought was Eris's? Well that was Savathun's, and she used that skull to put it in his head. Got some kinda psychic strength through a song meme. I knew Moondust was too proud to make any kinda song that didn't sound like a poem about death.

Strong fireteams are how we survived Six Fronts.

Good, was terrible song. I knew Eris had better taste than that.

...Lord Shaxx still has skull though.

Of course he does. I cain't believe of all people I might havta be the guy to tell him, "Hey, maybe if you got somethin' with bad vibes? Throw it out. Or put it into armor, or somethin'." Y'all [he means Titans] got any Ahamkara armor? I figure ya do, but I ain't up on every piece.

She does. Even hearin' her hum the tune to ask if that's what Shaxx was singin' felt a little odd on the ears.

[He'll... get back to the fireteam argument. He's not in fireteams all that much anymore but now he's talking about Eris and Shaxx and he is a man that likes to gab. When you're alone for long stretches, you get excited when anyone drops into your conversational space.]

[That is something that Saint can absolutely relate to. He spent centuries in the Infinite Forest alone, and the Vex are not great conversationalists. It's sometimes a bit intimidating how many people there are around him now.]

Shaxx is proud. It is a symbol to him. I heard of his participation in Great Hunt.

I do not give out cursed objects in Trials. But I do not know every piece of armour for every Titan. If Osiris was... well, I would ask him.

I just thought Shaxx's singing was terrible. No weird feelings from it but regret on asking.

I heard the stories. I was a bartender in those days. Served all kindsa drinks and heard all kindsa tales.

Well, I'm sure some Reefborn or another would pay good money for an Ahamkara skull. One of those Technomages? Techeons love dabblin' in anything magical, cursed or otherwise. He should consider it. I get collectin' to mark your accomplishments, but you gotta hold up when your collection starts spyin' on you. Hell, I threw out a Vex eye once for turnin' towards me while I was sleepin'. Thing gave me the creeps.

Look... I know that song is bad news, and his singin' aint exactly a radio top hit, but I do hope you have it recorded. You know. Just to remind him if we make it for another fifty years or so.

It is still strange hearing stories of 'old days' which occurred after my time. But they are interesting. And horrifying at times.

Yes, I got this impression from the Queen's people. It is all very mystical. And Shaxx is also most stubborn person I know. Do you have evidence for this? And if it is ahamkara skull, and haunted, maybe he cannot give it up so easily.

...I have recording. I will pull it out next time he makes a bet with me.

Ha! Gotta love when Titans place bets 'cause you know you're gonna get a good laugh out of it. Especially if a stiff drink's involved. Y'all need a bottle to encourage antics and I think I can call upon my more generous nature and oblige.

Eris does. I don't know why she put me up to tryin' to talk to him. "Hey oil, mind goin' and minglin' with this water a little bit?"

Well, if you are offering, it has been a while since I last placed bets. Although my tolerance for stiff drinks is unfortunately very high. Peril of being machine.

Perhaps it granted her more information. Warlord Shaxx though, he has great respect for her.

I've been alive a long time! I bet I could remember what sorta mix will get an exo drunk. Not to mention Titan's bein' bottomless pits in drinkin' games.

Yeah, Eris is uh.... Well, all you Vanguard types love her to bits.

[He really likes her too? But again, just not gonna say that 'cause where's the cagey banter if he owns up to enjoying someone's company.]

In that case, how can I refuse? It has been too long since I last was able to indulge.

It was shock to see her again after so long, and so changed, but she is strong. And she is doing good work. The epitome of a Guardian.

Honestly, I wish she were less of one.

She's got one life now. No ghost. No Light. Just Hive magic and endless stubbornness. Goin' from forever ahead of ya to ghostless is a hell of an adjustment. [He's sure that Osiris knows it all too well now, unfortunately.] But she should try just livin', scrape whatever happiness she can outa this one life she got.

[He's got a sentimental side, though he still firmly believes happiness is damn hard to come by in this world of theirs.]

...yes, I- I have idea. Since I returned, Osiris- he feels he is responsible personally for keeping universe running. And now he is...

But he would not be my love if he had been content to remain in City indefinitely and leave the dangers to other people.

[Will that change now? If he wakes? Saint does not know.]

Happiness is important. Deserved.
