Re: Witnesses OK!

[bondsofsuffering]

[..........Incredulous.]

I mean. Yes? But sometimes we do everything right and even win, but right at the end someone practically killed us.

Re: Witnesses OK!

[unbr8kable]

Well, yeah. That's just life. Things're always bad for no real reason.

Just...figured you guys wouldn't run into as much of that, I guess.

Re: Witnesses OK!

[bondsofsuffering]

[He shrugs.]

When there's an option, people probably try to spare the units that have people important to them, right?

In our case, we have connections, but... well, there's an understanding our members can take care of themselves, I'm sure.

[He doesn't need a memory share to see the uncertainty on her face]

...One you're actually cool with?

Re: Witnesses OK!

[bondsofsuffering]

We're good at scraping ourselves off the floor, aren't we?

[Grinning, even if he's feeling bitter.]

...Besides, it's not like I want to be spared just because we're convenient, either. If we don't have connections with people who think we're worth protecting, then that's that.

[She opens her mouth, then closes it again when she realises she doesn't really have anything worth saying to that]

...'S still shitty. Don't gotta pretend like it's okay if it ain't.

Re: Witnesses OK!

[bondsofsuffering]

I think it's easier for us that way. that's all. I doubt there's anyone on the unit who wants to be pitied, either.

Re: Witnesses OK!

[unbr8kable]

Yeah... But there's gotta be someplace between making a big scene about it and having to hide away how you feel forever. I ain't saying you gotta go completely the other direction, but maybe land somewhere in the middle...?

Re: Witnesses OK!

[bondsofsuffering]

[Okay, that just gives him a feeling of amusement, and he bursts out laughing.]

Re: Witnesses OK!

[unbr8kable]

...What?

There's no way it's that funny...

Re: Witnesses OK!

[bondsofsuffering]

SensitIV pretty much always loses at games about sharing emotions for a reason.

[So, yes, it is in fact funny.]

Re: Witnesses OK!

[unbr8kable]

[Possibly pouting a little,]

Just 'cause you lose all the time don't mean you gotta be losers about it.

Re: Witnesses OK!

[bondsofsuffering]

It's just how we are. I wonder if it's a qualifying trait for getting on the unit in the first place...?

Re: Witnesses OK!

[unbr8kable]

...Could be. Prolly easier to stay on-brand if everybody like that's in the same place.

Re: Witnesses OK!

[bondsofsuffering]

Anyway - that's just how it is with us, so there's no need to worry too much.

[The feeling of resignation is strong.]

Re: Witnesses OK!

[unbr8kable]

Who's worried?

Just...'least now you know somebody else knows it sucks, I guess. Pretty shit deal either way.

Re: Witnesses OK!

[bondsofsuffering]

[...Ah.]

Well... I guess. Thanks for not making it weird...?

Re: Witnesses OK!

[unbr8kable]

[Shrugs]

Well--y'know. Sorry I ain't good at ass patting.

Re: Witnesses OK!

[bondsofsuffering]

[A shrug.]

I'm not really looking for that kind of thing anyway. Even memories like this... they mostly suck when people's opinions can mean life or death, too.
