Um, excuse me? Are you questioning divine right? Didn't know you had a fucking degree in noble peerage or like, court engineering or whatever. And who said it doesn't have any authority? That means you're saying the person granting you the privilege doesn't have any authority, you know?

[ actually, we are going to argue it, ]

[purrrnicious]

Uh, that's exactly what I'm saying? Who said you're a divine anything? And I know plenty about how this stuff is structured!

[notadrop]

You wanna fucking see? I'll show you right now, I'll even use my own fucking points for it.

[purrrnicious]

Is this just going to be that weird Alcheme potion again?

[notadrop]

It's a memory, you dipshit! You think I'd say all this if I didn't fucking remember it?

[purrrnicious]

You took another one. . .? When?

[notadrop]

Uhh, a few days ago? Why?

[purrrnicious]

[Shrugs.]

Oh, no reason. You didn't do it in public, did you?

[notadrop]

Uh, no. I don't do that stuff in public and I'm like, never gonna? Well, maybe if all I think's gonna show up is just something cool. This one I didn't even do in the dorm. I just paid full price 'cause I didn't wanna risk showing everyone some grody shmoopy mess where I'm sad about being dead or whatever but that ended up not happening at all.

[purrrnicious]

Duh, that's the smart way to do it. Suck it up and just spend the extra, once you've got abilities there's not much else to spend it on, anyway.

[notadrop]

Weapons, I guess. People will buy me clothes and food and stuff but ask for a motorcyle or a bow and suddenly it's all like, ooooh noooo I'm toooo pooor. Losers.

Anyways.

[ pulls out his phone to play this ]

[purrrnicious]

[what the shit did she just watch]

Uh, what did I just watch? That was nothing like your first one. You didn't even look like you!

[notadrop]

Yeah, it was super different, huh? This time I had like, friends and didn't die.

[purrrnicious]

. . .I think there was a little more to it than that.

[notadrop]

Nnnno that's about it? I mean, I guess I also used a bow instead of a knife but I'm actually like, way better at archery, soooo...

[purrrnicious]

Okay, just add pretty much everything else to the list and you've got it.

[Flicks an ear and shifts to the time-honoured one hand on hip sassy hip thrust pose.]



I mean, there was tech and some grimy city in the first one, and suddenly armour and weird monster guys and magic?

[notadrop]

I mean, maybe it was tech armour? And like, it's not like magic and tech can't exist in the same place, that's literally what magitech is. Besides, what's your explanation for me remembering that if it's not me?

[purrrnicious]

I didn't say it wasn't you, just that it's weird. You probably need more than, like, two memories to figure it out?

[tradesecret]

[ that sure was some Chuuni shit he was spouting. But there was some action there ]

So that's what that matriarch thing meant.

[notadrop]

I was cool, right? Riiiiight?

[ praise me big sis pat my head and tell me I'm a good god!!! ]

[tradesecret]

[ okay you know what, sure.

She pats his head and smooths his hair out. ]

That was really cool.

[notadrop]

[ UWAAAAA

He wags his tail, leaning into it ]

It's weird, 'cause I never feel really leader-y? Like, being in charge feels weird even if I don't mind telling people what to do, you know? But like, I guess I really was a ruler or whatever all along!

[tradesecret]

[ oh, that's super cute ]

Well, if you're up for the responsibility, you can lead us in battle.

[notadrop]

[ !

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ]

I wanna!

[tradesecret]

Just get clearance from Tenshouin-san, first. It's better not to step on toes.
