Who: Three
Where: Out in a park somewhere
When: Day 25, evening

[Slight backdate due to how this happens shortly after he's kicked out of his own dorms]

[Anwayy you have two options!!]

One

[It's a live! A very average looking boy in some ridiculous scifi dress sits at a long table that is covered in just... random, shit, to be honest, grouping them up: a butter knife and a toy gun, sunglasses and a watch, syringe and a dart, a hand towel and a sheet of paper with a real dumb drawing on it, etc.

And after pondering over these for a little while he grabs the first set, the butter knife and the toy gun, and ... well they just sort of merge together. and the result is...: a butter knife that shoots little pellets out of the handle]

Wow.

That's really stupid.

Two

[A memory broadcast, namely, of a boy making faces while getting lectured on how to escape from the government by his mother on the phone: this page until the line 'Same as always'

note: Three's name is bleeped out]

Huh, is that what families are like.

Not the type to hold a grudge?

What's the point?

Spite. Revenge.

What's the point of those?

.. There isn't really a point. It's more about feeling better after.

Isn't that just self delusion?

[ shrugs ]

That doesn't stop the satisfaction.

I think recognizing it as self delusion probably does. Anyway, I guess I don't really get the appeal.

[ hm ]

If I punched you in the face right now would you be upset?

I'd be pissed off.

But I'm not stupid enough to think punching you back would change anything.

I'd just stop talking to you.

And if I found you and punched you again?

[ not seeming serious about doing so but just hypothetically]

I guess I'd have to find a way to prevent it. But that's not revenge, just practical self defense.

Would you take up a unitmate's offer to get back at me?

Depends on if it was likely to stop you from being a threat or just make you more troublesome.

But you wouldn't act based on spite. You wouldn't feel it?

I don't think so. It's pretty pointless.

Do you only feel things when there's a point to it?

....yeah, going that far is probably too much. But spite still seems pretty hard to imagine.

[he says, spitefully refusing to go home because he's buttmad kaiba was a dick to him]

[ Three. ]

What, no one's pissed you off to that point here?

The most annoying person is on my unit, but it's not like he's even gone so far as to punch me.

He doesn't have to punch you to make you resentful.

[shrugs]

Why are you asking so many questions about this?

I was curious. There's things I think I haven't felt before that other people treat as "normal" but I know I've felt angry and resentful before.

Oh, I don't know a lot about that yet. Angel came home crying because she had to kill someone earlier. But I'm sure she's not much of an example of normalcy.

Angel?

[ hm ]

What does she look like?
