[Lucifer has found that he's begun to use the network almost solely when he's angry. Truth be told it's one of the few times it has any real appeal to him, at least in regard to using it as his own platform to speak. And after the embarrassment and insult leveled at him by the Tower this last month, he's quite fed up. He needs something to take his mind off of things.

Which brings him to what he has to say.]

I quite enjoy competition. I believe myself a competitive man. But I felt there was something lacking in the competition the tower gave us. I found it a bit impersonal. Part of competition is getting to know the people you're competing against. That's not particularly possible when so many of them have had their identities crush and assumed by something else, now is it?

I'd go so far as to say it wasn't sporting.

I wasn't very satisfied by this last competition. If anything, it served to simply arouse my thirst instead of quench it. And so I would like to propose a more personal competition. A bit of a way for me to get to know some of you better. To even find a few more who are like-minded, you could say.

I therefore propose a duel, or set of duels, to take place one week from today. I will take on any and all challengers who answer my challenge whether they come at me one at a time or in groups or all at once. The challenged may even choose where the battle takes place and, if they wish, any restrictions they wish to impose.

It's been quite a long time since I've taken some exercise. And certainly there must be some others who would be interested in a friendly bit of competition.

It's as you say. An opponent who doesn't prove themselves worthy would be an uninteresting opponent indeed.

However since my ability to....observe, you could say, has been scaled back so heavily here, this seemed to prove one of the better solutions to finding out who here might be truly powerful.

Will I be disappointed by some? Certainly. But there must be some who can prove themselves to me.

[That, and he's just so angry that he needs something to take his mind of things. Something that could, in a way, sooth his ego. The Tower has insulted him, or he's perceived it to, time and time again since he's been here.

He'll have no more of it.]

[In a strange way, this is a subject Alcor could actually understand completely.]

I only hope, then, that you find what you seek. In time, perhaps I will consider joining you.

Will you?

[That does intrigue him. He'd like to see what you're capable of by yourself when forced to face something like him. He thinks it should be an honor, in a way, that the possibility of challenging you is so intriguing to him.]

It would do you good. I would test you to your limits.

[viditlibertas]

I'm not sure even I would be a decent challenge for you- much in the way of my offensive capabilities have been impossible to achieve, here.

[There's a smile in his voice, though, so...]

That does not mean I would not be willing to try my best, of course. You are not the only one who would like to 'let off steam'.

[firstofthefallen]

Mine have not been altogether taken to me. Most of my power remains; I merely can't aim it against the Tower.

[And there's a hint of a smile in his. He wouldn't say he necessarily empathizes with you, but he sees parts of himself in you Alcor. And he's pleased to hear that you might be interested in a fight as well.]

We do all have our hobbies. I simply hope to get more interested in mine.
