Karaoke bar mingle, Day 433 evening

[sangreine]

Who: Alizarin, Lupine, Venti, and AS MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE
Where: Karaoke Bar, Pasela Resort
When: Day 433, evening

[ At the karaoke bar, the rooms are decorated in the style of LiliS, SensitIV, ☆Zrael, Wild City, Avante, and HSS as the "winners" of the latest horrifying game, dubious though the title is.  A group is gathering there in search of some mutual comfort after these recent, trying days, with plans for lots of drinks, songs, and plenty of cuddles for whoever wants them -- won't you join them? ]

[ A handwritten sign just at the entrance reads: ]

Rules: 
1. No brooding
2. Anyone wanting to engage in "improper behavior" must get permission from Suou Tsukasa

[ -- that last one is probably just a dig at the poor boy for attempting to moralize to immortals, but do with it as you like. ]

[ Everyone who was at Ideal Worlds endgame, knows the three party planners, is in their units, or just heard about this shindig through the robust hell grapevine should consider themselves invited!  In fact, you might have been dragged against your will -- they are a rather incorrigible bunch, after all. ]

I cannot allow you to speak poorly of Leo-san!

While he is frustrating, never listens to what I am saying let alone reason, and has a complete lack of regard toward the consideration of others, his skill is without rival! No matter how terrible his attention span or even memory, or even his ability to make a coherent sentence, he is one of my noble and magnificent senpais whom I admire and love! I can only hope to possess even a portion of his raw talent and skill, and hope to be as commanding and brilliant as him someday.

[ In other words, only he can talk trash about him...!! ]

Skill only buys you so much leniency. Especially in a leadership position.

It's one thing to admire him, value what he does, it's another to think that makes a good leader. Ultimately an essential part of being a good leader is checking your own ego for the good of your people. [Very calm and matter of fact.]

If talent can't practice at least a little humility, they're better as someone to be directed then to direct.

I will not hear another word. He led our unit through one battle to the next with great strength of character and dignity. As vexingly incomprehensible as he can be from time to time, the results of our victories speak for themselves.

He is a great leader and the reason we are considered one of the top three powerhouse units, now.

What is more- not one of us would ever follow a leader we did not respect or find worthy of the crown. We are a unit of individualists, and much too proud to bow our heads to just anyone. Nay, not a single knight would bend a knee to anyone less than deserving of our respect and our swords.

Do you actually remember these victories or at least someone else talking of them?

Re: 2/2

[heavyliesthecrown]

Are you suggesting that my senpais are of the sort of character that they would lie, or are you suggesting I lack the ability to understand the knowledge I have gained through the context and experience I possess from my own memories?

If others said it, then it's not just your bias, so no, it's not them lying.

As for you, it sounded like you were giving him a lot of slack because you admired him from a distance and that made you willing to endure terrible behavior in person. Hard to say how long that lasted. If you just said, then it could easily be that. If you've seen, then that means there could be a lot more going on. More likely to be a lot more going on.
