[Sure, we've got plenty of unit posts, but what about everything that doesn't fit into one of those? Feel like making yourself a snack? Want to have an emotional outburst in the lobby?

Mingle away, folks.]

Hey!

[Gives him a disappointed, but he can't keep a straight face for long. He gives a sharp laugh.]

I have a lot of ideas. Not all of them pan out. I just don't let the bad ones discourage the good ones. And my last idea had merit until everyone decided to dial up the crazy to 11. Had I know that before, I wouldn't have tried.

Do they want unity? I'm not saying it's wrong. But maybe what you want isn't what they want.

Yeah, it's true. You never run out of new ideas.

[... sighs.]

My ideas seem to be bad, lately. I thought they wanted unity. It sounded like that. But either I was wrong, or I'm the one who just can't agree to the kind of unity everyone else is okay with.

They probably did. They probably still do. However, the situation has change a bit or at least people have perceived it to have changed. Exael did mention once that we were in the opening act. It has to change sometimes.

And I don't think the idea is bad, but you've been trying for a while. Perhaps it is time to focus your attention elsewhere or at least let their actions run its course.

Mm...

[turns his head to just press his face against Nine, only just pulling back far enough to murmur]

I don't know if I know how.

At least you didn't say you couldn't. That's at least one step ahead.

[Running his knuckles lightly up and down Anubis' spine.]

Is it just idle hands or do you truly want to put your weight behind making sensitIV the cohesion you want it to be your goal?

[closes his eyes.]

It feels like... I don't have anywhere solid to stand, and that I'll lose something important for good if I give up, I guess?

[Keeping up with the motions.]

Then keep trying. But be patient. There are a lot of strong personalities on sensitIV. The more you push, the more they will probably push back. Perhaps a more subtle approach.

[wow tmw you forget to hit the "post comment" button]

Maybe...

[flops sideways onto the bed proper, tugging Nine with him.]

I feel like I've tried subtle. Now I'm just going in circles.

[it gets us all eventually. 'tis a sneaky thing.]

[Tugged and propping himself up on one elbow.]

I wish I could give you better advice than keep pushing. Perhaps find an ally among one of them and at least then you can attack it together.

Perhaps I should take a step back. What does unity look like to you?

Persephone-san and Lavender-san probably wouldn't act. Nya-san... I don't know.

I guess... at this point I'd settle for being able to do things as a unit, together, sometimes. Listening to each other in games and not going behind the rest of the unit's back. Accepting that we're going to have different opinions and that's not necessarily an attack.

I can see why you are stressed out.

[Draping a blanket over both of them.]

Though I'd rather diversify our skills for endgame, as a last resort I could investigate moving over to sensitIV. Though I did want you to have your own space.

[takes a deep breath, and lets it out in a huff.]

No... I think you being on a different unit is better. That way we're not dealing with the same issues at the same time. So... yeah. Diversifying.

[Seems relieved as well in that 'I offered I thing I didn't really want to, but would have' kind of way.]

I'm glad we can agree on that. I do hope you can find peace with your unit or at least with yourself in the near future.

[yeah he figured. takes one of Nine's hands in his own and laces their fingers together.]

Thanks. Who knows. Maybe it'll turn out better than expected.

[Pulling their joined hand up an kissing his knuckles.]

"Be content with hope," right? If any case, we'll make our own.

Yeah. I just need some time to recharge.
