Chapter 8 - CHAPTER 8- ACCEPTABLE DEATH

WHITE – (calm, commanding) Good. Now… just train him for three days.

HIDORI – (bows slightly) Hmm… OK.

WHITE – (to himself, amused) Let's see if he can convince him to train himself.

---

[HIDORI's slide across the floor] shhhhhh

HIDORI – Hmm… so, Flux, Mike… well, my lord just gave me an order.

FLUX – (casual) What order?

HIDORI – It's simple. We're here for three days, and I will train both of you.

FLUX & MIKE – (at the same time)

FLUX – Refuse.

MIKE – Accept!

MIKE – (to Flux, frustrated) What? Why, Flux? This is our chance to shine! Let's show him we're worthy!

FLUX – (yawns loudly) Yaaawn… ahhh… don't care. Get lost.

---

HIDORI – (pleading) Flux, you need training. My lord said so! Please… if you don't do what the lord says, I'm finished! Please!

FLUX – Just get lost. I accept my death… but I won't train myself, fuckers.

---

HIDORI – (thinking, irritated) Pkzz… just please, lord, give me the order to kill him… I'll give him the acceptable death — the one accepted by me. I'll give him pain he's never suffered.

---

HIDORI – (politely, forcing a smile) Please… just for three days. Please! I don't want to anger my lord.

HIDORI – (thinking again) Well… I haven't seen my boss in anger for… almost 555 trillion years.

---

MIKE – (trying to convince Flux) Come on, man… just do it.

FLUX – (ignores him completely, relaxed) …

---

Flux's Mom – (gently, concerned) Flux… please, for me? Will you train yourself a bit? You've never trained… not even before you were born, right?

FLUX – (groans) Ugh… OK, OK! I'll train myself now. Happy, fuckers?

("fuckers" is aimed at Hidori and Mike with a smirk)
