"Do you see any fires around you? Cause I don't. Do you see any more invaders around you? Cause. I. Do. Not."
[i]Rafael struggles to be calm in his words.[/i]
English
-
"And what the hell did you do to cause that? Jack shit because they gave up! They left of their own accord."
-
"Oh, really? More of us lose our lives than you think. All I'm trying to do is make you all realize your mistake with this. Because I do not see violence against any of you as an answer."

[b]A second molotov, this one going just below his feet [/b]
-
[i]This one, he uses inhumane reflexes, grabbing it, and setting it down on a nearby roof top. Rafael takes a deep breath. [/i] "Whoever keeps throwing those, you have a terrible throw."
-
[i]"YEAH WELL WHY DON'T YOU COME DOWNWARDS A BIT?!" [/i]
-
"Why? So you can try to fight me so you can make an excuse that I willingly fought citizens. Idiots. I'm just trying to help you." [i]His eyes narrow at the main speaker, contemplating shoving a steel pole up their ass and throwing them into orbit.[/i]
-
"You see this? The coward will not speak to us on the same level!"
-
"-blam!- it." [i]Rafael let's himself drop, creating a small crater in front of the crowd. Along with a few waves. He stands on his feet.[/i] "You people won't listen anyway, so let's get this over with. Since you won't care to hear the wisdom of one who's seen more violence than any person should."
-
"Do you see now? How easy it is for the mighty to fall?!"
-
"Fall? Dude, I did that to go for your needs. I purposely." [i]Rafael shakes his head[/i]
-
[i]"Your words are lies!"[/i] [u]"Be gone foul beast!" [/u] [b]A few men began moving forward, raising their fists [/b]
-
"You think I 'fall'? Come. Try me. You may say I fight openly. But this is defense, you animals."
-
[b]A man ran forward, tackling into Raf [/b]
-
[i]With one hand, he stops them, grabbing them by their shirt and lightly tossing them to the side.[/i] "Don't."
-
[i]"Than leave us! Let us go to the Dojo. Let us speak to them." [/i]
-
"They have matters to take care of as well. You don't get it. But many of them sacrificed themselves for your sorry asses. Plus, you -blam!-wads chose to live here. You chose to stay."
-
[b]The crowd fell silent at these words, and Rafael could see that people began moving away from the crowd, realizing their mistakes [/b]
-
"There. See now? Was it so hard?" [i]Rafael relaxes, walking off, going to a place he sees as sacred now.[/i] [spoiler]I'd say that's an end. Quite a bit more authority than I realized Rafael could have. [/spoiler]
-
[spoiler]Well done. Resolving it peacefully [/spoiler]
