"Fear is a great motivator," Octavian chuckled. "For yourself or others. Adrenaline and fear make even the untrained into savage warriors. It's why cornered animals can be more dangerous than regular ones."

"And then there are stories of warriors who purposefully enter a state of rage to empower them. Berserkrs, was it? Or maybe Berzerkers?" Siber wondered aloud. "How much do you think is true in what they tell about such... unconventional approach to combat?"

"My tutor once spoke of such a thing," Octavian replied, nodding. "He said they were mostly found among the orcs, but that they have dwindled in recent years."

Violet glanced at her bags and then at Joaquin and shook her head quickly. "I should be okay, but thank you," she said with a shy smile. She stood and picked up her mandolin case and the small suitcase, standing rather awkwardly as she waited for the others.
Kaestan's eyes narrowed. "I don't think that would be wise," the elf murmured, standing and preparing to head to the dormitories as it seemed like that was what the crowd was doing. He looked at Eldoroth suspiciously. He did not like dark magic. "Unless of course you intend solely to increase your knowledge on the subject without actually... delving," Kaestan added.

"Berserkin' be effective," Kutom'bai cut in, taking a seat at the table with everyone else and beginning to pile her plate with meats. She picked up some sort of large leg and bit into it, chewing, taking a large gulp of water and swallowing.
"If yah know wha'cha doin'," the troll added, glancing sideways at the others before continuing eating.

"And here I was, about to remark that they dwindle because of their 'die in a blaze of glory' attitude," Siber snorted.
"I do not believe we have been introduced properly, though of course everyone has called out their names. Kutom Bai, was it? I am Siber Antares," he then told the troll, for politeness sake. He did not hold out a hand for a shake, though.

"Still don't despair, pain do not last forever." Elthalis said in an second atempt to comfort Androw.
"And you back there, why so gloomy?" The elf asked turning her head to make it more obvious that she was refering to the hybrid Kai'tai.

"Necromancy is illegal, so why have anything, relating to it here? My curiosity for it's pressence, is my motive, not dabling in those cursed arts." Eldoroth mutterd to Kaestan, keeping low profile.

"It's not gloom." Kai'tai said quietly. "Merely contemplation."

"And what does the... Miscellaneous, contemplate, and why would it hinder you from dining with us?" The elf asked before inserting some meat in her mouth.

"I'm afraid that I am of the school of thought that discipline conquers brutality," Octavian replied.

Kaestan eyed Eldoroth. "What you choose to do here is none of my business of course," Kaestan said cautiously. "So... rest assured that I have no desire - nor motive - to discuss... whatever it is you're studying... with anyone," Kaestan finished.

Kutom'bai nodded. "Kutom'bai, one word," she corrected, looking Siber over. "An' yah be Siber."
The troll dug in to more food before continuing. "'Dere be plenty a' trolls an' orcs dat die because dey go into a rage. Dat is because dey nah trained. Dey be stupid," Kutom'bai said simply.
"An', jus' like sam leetle 'uman snot dat grab a sword an' play army, yah can be sure as *!@# dat dey not gunna last very long," Kutom'bai said with a smile, revealing her pointed teeth. "Yah gotta marry da two of 'em - learn tah conquer dah rage, let eet fuel yah actions," she said, nodding to Octavian's point.

"Why are we here? Why are monsters alive? Why does the Horde and the Alliance fight?" Kai'tai said, still not looking at the others, her eyes on the ceiling.

"Perhaps," Octavian shrugged. "Though if I had to take one or the other, I would take discipline. Discipline breeds armies; brutality, warriors. One is more effective than the other. Octavian, by the way."

"I would not go pretending I am a master swordsman, picking up a fight," Siber said coolly. "Especially now that I do not actually have one."
"And I have heard a saying once. Warriors conquer and destroy. Soldiers protect and serve. I would much rather be a soldier."

"Well! Here gos nothing," Vera said, grabbing her bag and approaching what she had been told was the girls dorm. The effigy of a woman with serpentine hair loomed from above the frame and, as she drew closer, the sculptures one eye turned to look down.
"Well hello there," the stone said with a granite smile.

"You'd probably be surprised how often you have to make the distinction, what with time travel being a thing," Leo mentioned.

"Pleasure to meet you," Violet said quickly to Joaquin, suddenly rushing to catch up with Vera. She didn't want to get lost, and it appeared that Vera was one of the few females in their immediate group.
"Excuse me," Violet said as she finally reached Vera before pausing and staring wide eyed at the living statue.

"Charmed," Kutom'bai said, flashing a sly smile at Octavian, though her eyes were cold. "Ah'd radda be a warriah. Fame an' glory an' all dat jazz. Ah work alone," the troll said with a casual shrug, returning to her food.

Location

His help unneeded, Joaquin remained in his seat, playing his guitar still. He decided he might just as well leave the last, or at least at the same time as Tristan - again, much like back on the ship, such course of action would probably save him the necessity to endure a narrow corridor tightly packed with people. Besides, the bard had decidedly nowhere to hurry for now, and he did enjoy exercising in music.
Eryan, on the other hand, had departed soon after Vera, staying in place barely long enough to make it look at least somewhat decent. And not desperate.
Humming under his nose, the ginger walked towards the boys' dorms.

"Selfishness," Octavian said, shaking his head. "Was I not just talking to you about this, Siber?" he asked rhetorically. "Selfishness, weakness. They are the cause of the downfall of society. We must purge the weak and selfish to make way for civilization to achieve its true glory."

Kai'tai's eyes shifted over to the group, hearing the comment. She shook her head and looked upward again, putting her arms around her knees.

"It is easy to be selfish," Siber nodded. "To care for none but yourself and perhaps the closest kin. You have to choose to be something else. Something more."

"O...kay..."
The statue seemed to laugh. "I've had worse reactions."
"Right," Vera coughed, attempting to regain control of the situation. "So, how does this work?"
"Do you have a key?" the statue asked.
As Eryan drew closer he drew the sudden notice of the bearded statues eye. "Who dares approach me! Some form of tributary?" it boomed.
