[...

there are a lot of things she could say about this.]

That must be significantly earlier than your other one.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Are you implying some sort of redemption arc, Maki?

[How dare you]

[rollplayinghouse]

You said it, not me. I just meant there's probably a long way from being surprised a card materialized to showing off your ridiculous giant dragon.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

One was science and the other was "magic". There is a world of fucking difference between the two.

[rollplayinghouse]

Only if it was actually magic. Was it actually magic?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Ask His Excellency. I can only tell you that my dragon is definitely science.

[rollplayinghouse]

[sigh]

Still. If you could have made a science dragon I don't think you would have been that surprised.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Ha! You're probably right.

In fact, I would go as far to say I found the whole thing rather inspiring.

[Inspiring enough to make a death amusement park later anyway. Thanks, King]

[rollplayinghouse]

[unsure]

And not just traumatizing?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Is there that much difference between the two?

[rollplayinghouse]

Yes.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Haven't you ever heard the phrase: "That which doesn't kill you makes you stronger."

Looks like we can update it for here. Even things that kill you can make you stronger.

[rollplayinghouse]

Maybe, but that doesn't mean it's the only way it affects you.

[mouths: "That's your not-boyfriend thing" to her because like




actually it's a tragedy that he's also into this idiot but like.]

[rollplayinghouse]

[shushes him even though he's not actually talking]

Maybe the goal is to make the stuff he does now look sensible in comparison.

[criminaljustice]

[don't boo, he's right!]

I mean... mission accomplished there.

[rollplayinghouse]

I mean... it was clearly earlier on even in his past. And we can't actually say how many of us have also lost a game to a middle school student with some personality issues and then got tortured by monsters as some kind of punishment.

[criminaljustice]

No, I just executed mythological creatures that represented aspects of myself so I could fuse them into a new mythological creature that represented aspects of myself.

... but yeah, it's... bizarre, for sure. But also it sure does explain his way of handling trauma.

[rollplayinghouse]

Acting like he had it coming to him because he lost?

[criminaljustice]

That's one way to put it.

[rollplayinghouse]

...I yelled at him about that some the other day.

[criminaljustice]

Oh, good. I'm not the only one yelling at him for it.

[rollplayinghouse]

Well, it was particularly relevant to me.

[criminaljustice]

I've got two ears if you need to vent about things.

[rollplayinghouse]

...Some of it is things I shouldn't share. But it went better than it might have. And it wasn't all him being stupid. I... also still need to figure out how I feel about some things, I guess.
