Slayers: The Meaning of Life
Part 6: You Wanna Be the Best?
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
N: Our heroine has decided (although I don't know why) to seek out the help of Martina and Zangulas in her quest. So she saunters in the direction of their abode and finds the swordsman sitting under a tree.
me: Hey, how's it goin', Zangulas?
Zangulas: I can't complain.
me: Things are going that well?
Zangulas: No, I just can't complain. She'll kill me if I do.
me: ^^;
Zangulas: What brings you all the way out here?
me: I'm trying to find the meaning of life.
Zangulas: Really?
me: Yeah. L-Sama wouldn't tell me, so I'm trying to find the reason behind existence.
Zangulas: Striving to be the best is reason enough.
me: That's a hollow pursuit. There will always be some one better, faster, smarter, stronger. Always.
Zangulas: So work harder. If some one's always the best, why can't it be you?
me: You make a very good point. But I don't think that's what I'm really looking for. I'd rather not have a reputation to uphold.
Zangulas: It's what I want. Having that idiot Gourry Gabriev being better than me is not my idea of a meaningful existence.
me: You might as well face it. Even without the Sword of Light, he's awesome. You're not going to be better than him.
Zangulas: Well, my ultimate goal is to beat him in a swordfight.
N: XellAn, knowing this could be a long and pointless conversation, sits down beside him under the tree.
me: Why? What's the point? So you'd be a better swordsman. So what?
Zangulas: So I'd *pauses* Hm, I never thought about it like that before. Not much would change, would it?
me: *shakes head* Nope.
Zangulas: Maybe I should stop worrying about it.
me: Maybe.
Zangulas: So what do I do instead?
me: *shrugs* Spend some time with Martina?
Zangulas: *horrified* I spend plenty of time with her!
me: No, I mean spend time with her because you want to. You must like her. You married her, didn't you?
Zangulas: What am I supposed to do with her?
me: Take her some place nice. Girls like that.
Zangulas: Guess I could do that...
N: At this point, Martina comes looking for her husband.
Martina: Zangulas! Where in the Nine Hells are you?!
Zangulas: She's in a bad mood...^^;
N: XellAn, wishing to avoid a run-in with the aqua-haired princess, arises. She's about to amble away when --
Martina: WHAT'S THIS?! How, in the name of Zoamelgustar, could you do this to me?!?!
Zangulas, XellAn, & N: Uh-oh...^^;
