[Evening idols, you're going to get a Dissonance message on your phones from a certain asshole on Future is Now]

CEO : Now that the apocalypse has been averted.
CEO : And our halls have been graced by not one, but two new units.
CEO : How about a little check-in on what we do know about our little glass prison?
CEO : As always, those who enjoy living their little puppet lives need not apply.
CEO : And no Lives allowed.
CEO : For what little that is probably worth.

[For those that do stop by, feel free to pick up the latest summary of what people know about Idol Hell]

Heeeeeeey buddy. Can we talk a bit?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Sure, pal. Does this need to be a private conversation?

[avestan]

It sure does, friend.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Then give me a location to meet you in an hour. I need to finish this up.

[avestan]

Come to ☆ZRAEL. We're all about inviting people over these days.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Must be your unique ceiling decor. But agreed. I'll see you in an hour.

[And show up in an hour, he will]

[avestan]

[and Doodle is waiting at the dorm to let him in!]

So. Ruler told me you're his new Master.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

. . .

[My, Doodles doesn't pull his punches. Good!]

Is that going to be a problem?

[avestan]

I dunno. Honestly, right now I just think it's really fucking weird. But I want to know if you know what you're doing or not.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

I've had your world mechanics explained to me. Via Lucifel.

Maybe you could give me a run-down in case I am missing anything.

[avestan]

The mechanics aren't important. It's not like they even apply here.

I'm more interested in what you think being a Master actually means.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Ruler has a goal he wishes to achieve. I'm assisting. With benefits.

[avestan]

So what are you getting out of it? What're you planning to use him for?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Before we take this conversation any farther, I am assuming that you are also a Servant or a Master?

[avestan]

Yuuup. Can you guess which?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Well since you're not trying to take the Master title, I'm going to assume Servant. Also because of that bullshit you said earlier about hate blah blah hate something.

So you're also of the opinion that Servants are meant to be used?

[avestan]

It's not an opinion, it's a fact. Treating us like people is nice and all, but that's not what the contract is for. The only reason to purchase a tool is if you're going to use it.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

And what if I think it would just look fucking nice hanging over my mantle? If we're going to be using that analogy.

[avestan]

That's another way of using it, I guess. Just a really dumb one.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Just sighs]

Ruler's goal and my goal are currently aligned. If he wants to do the heavy lifting of appeasing the producers so that the rest of us don't become members of the Damned, good for him.

But his opening move was executed poorly. And the way he was acting afterward was counter-productive to what he was trying to accomplish.

[avestan]

So you decided to put a leash on him? In order to help him.

[the last words are dripping with contempt]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

That would require me actually being a good person with everyone else's fucking best interests at heart.

I put a leash on him to teach him how to be more effective. As I said before, we're both after the same thing.

... Why do you care? Is there some secret Servant handshake I don't know about?

[avestan]

I care because this whole villain act he's putting on is fucking stupid. And it's annoying to me that you're enabling it.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

I don't need to enable it. He'd do it all on his own, with or without me.

[avestan]

...Yeah, I guess he would.
