Far be it from me to turn down a challenge you miserable runt. [....Well, that's...promising.]
Here friends, what do you think of this? There's no such thing as birthright that's recognized by nature, and it's a notion the weak use as a trick to keep themselves in power they didn't earn. To hear a person claiming they're you're better when it's clear they're helpless on their own, that's plain foolishness, isn't it? And yet there's worlds where such ineffectual men are kings and the people are made to believe that it's natural and just for the throne to grant power alone. And they suffer for it because when the king is weak he must resort to underhanded means to ensure nobody's more powerful than him.
But that doesn't have a damn thing to do with this world because it doesn't work like that here. So who else thinks that anyone who crows about their title in this world is only fooling themselves? Pokemon give power where it's earned by effort or skill. Where it's not, the unfit can't rise to where anyone would suffer beneath them. And the rest of us are free to show them their natural place when they think their hollow claims to good breeding make them any better than another. A place in a pool, for example.
[...That should probably offer a clue to what this unabashed craziness is about, if the fact that it goes up about ten minutes after a post from Saionji doesn't give it enough context. I'm...I'm sorry, guys.]

Yes, exactly - this sort of thing is what I've been saying for years! Not about the state of things here, obviously, though I've been insisting on that as well, but about the way things should ideally be - power and rewards should be granted to those who work for it, not those who were simply gifted to it in one way or another! Those who take power they didn't earn are the weakest of all, in the end, and nothing awaits them but their eventual downfall the instant things fail to work in their favor!

I think you put it better than I did. You're not a person I'd have thought to hear that from but I am glad to hear it. [Let's just not go into why because that way lies alignments and madness.] Is it a problem in your world as well?
[text]
What prompted this, though? Was it something to do with Saionji-kun?

Yeah, I have. She...didn't exactly make the best first impression.

He's still going to call himself the Ultimate Shield even if he doesn't have that ability, thank you very much.]
You know, I really haven't been around here long enough to get much of a foothold in this world, but I do know that threatening one's world belief, especially in a public form where strangers can look in, never has quite the desired results.

Besides I did it on a challenge. It's for that before any threat.

Be careful with falling prey to challenges, though. Sometimes the other party involved just really wants to see you squirm. That's assuming they're smart enough for that sort of manipulation, of course. If they're not, carry on.

Let me tell you in detail what my birthright would have afforded me, even without the perks of status in society. I could summon a host of spirits, control any sort of liquid you can imagine up to and including molten metal of various kinds... and ah, I could easily keep your vital functions intact as I took you apart layer by layer, from your feet to your skull.
None of these are abilities I could accomplish in their current, refined forms if my ancestors hadn't put centuries of work into our bloodline, and that's what you sorts simply don't get. You just want to skip the entire process and place yourselves on top of society without any sort of appreciation of the sort of effort that does go into attaining status --- and while I can't say I have any respect for certain individuals as individuals, there are plenty of us who have dedicated our lives to the improvement of our family's glory and honor without resting on our laurels.

-uh-
-okay hold on he's gotta parse this.]
I still think you have all the mettle of a rotting trout but that's not what I was speaking of at all. Unless you've subjects you're keeping chained to your own betterment somewhere with no choice of escape.
[text]
Oh.
Well, no, of course not. I do have standards, after all.

Did someone named Saionji inspired this post?
[Because yeah, a pool is awfully specific to use in this case. In light of certain circumstances.]

Did she basically tell you that you're weak/lower class/other?

She'll reply to this bout of CHAOS on her own post. Have her just stare a bit, though...]

I have my own thoughts on it, granted, but I'd like to hear where this is coming from, first.

Titles and blood mean jack shit now. The faster somebody realizes that, the better off they are.
Whether someone's a god, a king, or a peasant, we all start on equal ground here. This is a place where strength and the will to fight determine everything.
Kinda like it better that way, myself.
[text; it's fine it's fine]
That's it exactly! And that's why this world is as good as it is. With the truly strong in power, nobody is forced under their command and left to languish. [YEAH LET'S...GO WITH THAT]
