I suppose you wouldn't be impressed. You were all over the media too, weren't you?

[afailedmurder]

You'll hear no argument from me on that point.

[fiberoptic]

More or less. Down to chance if it'd work though.

I gambled on Russian roulette and lost. [He shrugs]

[deicider]

[EYEBROWS]

You lost your soul?

[fiberoptic]

Turns out I'm a bad gambler.

[That's all he's gonna say on the subject.]

[deicider]

[eyes a little wide, but they can hear the undertone there and don't press.]

... How is Heart Soldier doing, in general, after that?

[Avante's kids seem.... fine? But Cardigan's not stupid enough to put stock in that.]

[motorcycle_noises]

Anyway.... Unless someone hurts someone important to me or attacks outside of the games, I think I will be able to keep from holding a grudge. Because anything that happens in the Tower will only fuel my hatred for the ones in charge.

[fiberoptic]

...

[Excuse him as he's just... awed by that for a while. Stunned. Surely it helped that she was already a little insane by then, but the sheer force of discipline and will to not be driven even further into madness by that was unbelievable.]

...What the crap.

Well. I'm surprised you're not as huge as I am after training that long.

[afailedmurder]

It's not my intention to do anything like that. And for all that things are uncomfortable between Bad End and AlcheME at the moment, I know my unitmates have no desire for an antagonistic relationship, either. Quite the opposite, really.

[fiberoptic]

Some are worse than others. Sparkles is fine. Spidey and Mori weren't in the game as long, but I'm pretty sure there's something they're not saying.

Abi, he's so quiet it's hard to get a read on how badly this affected him. Hurricane and Hiryuu seem t'have gone through the worst of it.

[He believed in Hiryuu's ability to recover from this. Hurricane... was going to need help.]

[deicider]

[hmmm.]

What do you know about dealing with trauma?

[motorcycle_noises]

I don't want one, either. I... like AlcheME.

[ Mirrors aside. ]

You all seem like good people. Or at least, people I like.

[fiberoptic]

I don't think whatever I do is textbook, exactly.

Christ, I'm just dealing with the symptoms at hand. Keep'em comfortable, keep'em busy...

[deicider]

[Snorts.]

You have more ideas than me.

[fiberoptic]

We should get a book. Teach'em to meditate or some crap.

[He's only half kidding]

[deicider]

[Cardigan also seems to take that suggestion seriously.]

That's not a bad idea. I wish everyone had had the sense to vote for the library.

[fiberoptic]

A few more rounds of soul-sucking trauma and maybe we'll earn one.

Or more likely we'll end up with that cafe some moron keeps pushing for.

[Let's see how the soup is doing]

[afailedmurder]

We try. I hope you'll be able to work things out with E.

[he doesn't even know about H]

[motorcycle_noises]

[ Hilariously, H was the more traumatizing one both times. ]

He's already texted me. He apologized for mirrors, I apologized for terrorizing him. I.... hope it will work out.

[deicider]

[rolls their eyes because a cafe would be STUPID.

How's it doing; leaning in to peer.]

[sancrimony]

. . . Our teddy bears joined the bear-san for a picnic. . . . ?

[afailedmurder]

Well, if I can make up with Boss, I'm sure anything is possible.

[spoken as if it were a joke]

[fiberoptic]

[Gosh it's simmering beautifully. Wire is honestly surprised.]

...Huh. It didn't fuck up.

[deicider]

[Lightly,]

You're welcome.

[fiberoptic]

[Small smile]

All right. I'll defer all credit to you for saving this meal. My children thank you.
