Is it really Iximaz's fault that Lacksi wasn't paying an appropriate amount of attention and misinterpreted things? It seems to me that Lacksi's the one who needs a talking-to, not Iximaz. I understand where the concern's coming from, but taking the attitude that people can't write certain perfectly valid stories because someone might misinterpret things in them. If Lacksi makes poor writing decisions, that's on her.

For an alternative point of reference, I didn't see the fight as a DIA thing - I saw it as a Pokemon thing. Jokes about cockfighting aside, it's canon that Pokemon enjoy battling and can be provoked to it by something as relatively harmless as a ten-year-old strolling past them. Battling, even violently, is a perfectly natural part of their lives. While the Pokemon agents may be more sapient than those found in canon, battling is still a natural part of their instincts. Factor in that neither participant is overly stable at the moment, and you have the makings of a fight gone wrong.

I can't comment on the whole thing with Des. I was under the impression that the whole hacking thing was a bit of a misfire in terms of people replying to each other in a roleplay?
