So you're upset?

You're good with feelings, right?

Is it better to be left on read or ignored completely? Which one do you think is more upset?

Guess it depends on the context....like who and why...

One asked me to ally with their unit and protect them. I did. That's the ignored completely.

One asked me to bus them. I did. That's the left on read.

Bus is probably someone unhappy with dealing with the consequences of their own decision.

The ally one I don't get cuz you did exactly as told so I don't know why they'd be upset about that?

. . .

This is too complicated.

Look I don't get the ally one at all. The other one I guess they could have like. Not wanted to die but felt no choice or some shit, I dunno.

But doing a perfect job of doing as asked for something completely kind is uh.

I dunno what the problem there is, chief. Not feeling worthy of your kindness? Think you didn't actually do it? Got in trouble over it with someone else?

Am I hearing correctly that it's probably impossible to know?

Not without more talking or like. Talking to someone more likely to know. Dunno how well you know them.

[Hums noncommittally before taking another drink.

And completely changing the subject]

I'm not fucking anyone on avante. I'm trying to reduce the overall number, not increase.

If you were wondering.

Who would you even fuck there?

...I guess some of them are crazy enough?

[Stares at unblinking.

Unamused.

As he continues to drink this eldritch horror wine]

.................you alright?

[tries to. take the bottle.]

Would you believe I'm trying to cut out crazy in my life. But it's like this---

[And wags the bottle before letting Shine take it]

Coping mechanism.

I feel like if you had less crazy to deal with though you'd have less to cope about.

So try to sell me on shut-in life.

You have until you finish that bottle.

No one to worry about in the games who aren't on this unit. No having to fight in games about my person not being protected.

No one besides my unit yelling at me.

No one dragging me into drama.

First point noted.

Second point iffy.

Third point rejected. I'm dragging you into drama right now.

The drama doesn't really uh effect me though?

But you probably should keep contacts off the unit for business reasons.

And be satisfied that we'll have no allies to draw upon in situations like this game?

Naw, I was saying you should keep contacts and friends on other units for that reason.

Just I don't gotta do it cuz you are. How many allies you got?

Business and unit politics are in separate buckets. Otherwise, I'm dunk on every unit for AlcheME!

And at this point, BARiTONES and Heart Soldier. The latter highly dependent on their feelings conflicts at the time.

I would have said ZRAEL previously, but there's no way that Man Eater would win against all ZRAEL's other priorities. He prefers it that way, but this was the second time I found him a bleeding mess and all his unitmates no where to be seen.

...so his unit pretty much abandoned him then?

I doubt they would see it that way.

But also, you can usually find a gaggle of us hanging around if one of ours is injured.

I thought they were suppose to be really close to each other?
