Yeah, I heard you and A had some fun while I was gone.

I was just gonna jump straight to the point. Yep, totally targeted you guys, aaaall my idea.

[ALSO PRETENDING THIS IS PRE-PHOENIX UTTERLY DESTROYING HIM]

No shit.

[blunt because he already knew that much. and is kind of annoyed about how he's putting that first topic so:]

We ate each other because we were literally crazy from monstrous hunger, but sure. "fun."

What's your excuse?

Neeheehee, that was the joke! But you guys sure are attracted to each other when you're crazy, huh?

Anywhos, no excuse. You guys were the most convenient and safest bet for us. I thought for sure we could hit, and whether we got killed or you, I could smooth it out later. I was also hoping you'd target us back. Y'know, minimize the killing scope.

Hmph, but it didn't work out at all, so! Had to drop it.

Two things.

1. That wasn't you only reason for doing it, so stop playing games.

2. You know that Bad End tries very hard not to hit AlcheME because we have members who are dating your members? You didn't even consider your absent members and you didn't consider Bad End's position at all in this. So how the hell could you know definitively that we would hit you back in the first place?

Stop acting like it was the perfectly logical option. It wasn't. And you know it.

[raises an eyebrow at that]

Mm, it wasn't perfect, just what I concluded was the best option. You're right, B, E, and H weren't there. I betrayed their trust, I'm a bad boy. But there will be other games we all miss. It can't be helped.

So. . .what do you think was my ulterior motive?

You had another play you wanted and didn't get your way.

So it reads more like a temper tantrum and Bad End being convenient because of our history in this place, despite the fact that Bad End, at least, has been working to avoid shit like that for a while.

[angry? yes.]

Tell me honestly that you didn't mention our past actions and I might be comforted.

[but that wasn't the case, he's betting.]

Ahaha! Well, you're right. I intended to either abstain or have them kill me. But majority rules, and they wanted to attack. So all I did was present another option, a safer play. What's so bad about that, huh?

Anyway, I deeefinitely mentioned our teams' sordid history of poor decisions. . .but not til after we picked you, and the deal was sealed. That's weird, I would think you'd be more upset about me not saying anything.

Telling your unit about what's happened is one thing.

Using it to justify your decision just makes it feel like you're looking to punish us for past actions that we've been told have been punished enough.

And there's also the fact that you attacked our newbies instead of someone who was around during those times, so even more...

Punish you. . .? [cracks up]

Neeheehee! Don't be so dramatic! It's not like you've ever hurt me directly. Even in that dumb flowers game all you did was give D more messed up scars than before! So what motive would I have to want to punish you? That's just silly.

Buuuut. . .I will give you that. Even 99 scolded me, and we decided not to go after newbies in the second round. Sooo. Yeah, my bad.

We should have just attacked you instead! That's what was gonna happen, but A didn't wanna listen to fate. Understandable, of course.

Like I said: you didn't consider Bad End's position in this. Half of this team has been imprisoned and blamed for things they weren't responsible for or had no control over. It's not me being dramatic, it's me telling you that that's the natural reaction from people who have been put into irrational situations.

[so don't fucking laugh for fuck's sake.

though he was going to comment about how he SHOULD have been chosen, the whole "listen to fate" thing has his expression flattening out again.]

So let me get this straight.

You consciously picked our unit.

You even defended your actions with supposed logic and past histories.

But then you didn't even pick which member yourself?

And I'm supposed to be okay with "oops, them's the breaks"?

Yeah that sucks for you guys! But all the better to only attack us. Alcheme's not holding anything over your heads. We looove you guys! So shouldn't you trust us?

Or, well, trust them. You obviously can't trust me now!

[then, considers what he can say for a moment, smile never faltering. Then:]

Yep! Sorry.

Edited 2018-11-04 17:01 (UTC)

[long stare at C for a moment.]

... you know, if you were really sorry, you'd stop making it about yourself.

You can't say "I picked you because I thought we could work it out" and then not even try just because it's hard.

Oh, but it is all about me! I'm the one who ~manipulated~ our poor newbies and outvoted A. Sure nothing came of it, but it's a betrayal of trust, right?

Soooo, here's the deal. You guys can kill me next time! No burden no stress, just easy pickings. And trust me, A would love it.

[... yeah, ok.

leaning in close to C, really getting in his face. and smiling right back.]

You're not disproving my point of having no fucking clue how Bad End operates if you're offering that.

And for the record? Trying to incite violence from me by using A won't work. I know he'd love it. But he, at least, understands the kind of person I am.

Which you don't seem to.

[...squiiiints]

It's pretty silly to pass up an offer like this, y'know. You're just inviting more pain the next time this rolls around. I'm giving you an out.

But you're right. All I know is the cool leader of Bad End Boss, just another mask. Though I'm starting to think you don't know nearly as much about your dear A as you think you do, either.

If you think I don't know his bad side, you really have no idea the kind of fights we've had.

And personally? I'd rather make things harder on myself than willfully follow along with the so-called "the least harmful option" that just happens to fall in line with what the producers actually want from us.

But for the record? Bad End doesn't act if there is disagreement. If everyone agrees to that sort of decision, then that's the decision. But since that probably won't be the case--just stop offering.

Edited 2018-11-04 17:26 (UTC)

Is that so? Neeheehee, then I'll let him come clean to you instead. It's not my place to spread bad rumors about my beloved teammate! I learned my lesson about that long ago.

[but! he pauses at that, expression going serious for a moment.]

Fine, though it doesn't make sense. Willfully follow the least harmful option. . .? Would you really reject that, for your own pride, even if it means others will suffer longer?

Edited 2018-11-04 17:30 (UTC)

Here's one point of confusion for you cleared up: no one here sees me as the leader. Technically, there is no leader. Everyone is heard and we act based on what everyone has to say.

So if everyone is willing to go through that pain, that's their call to make. Not mine.

But I personally see no reason why we should be actively hurting a unit half of us would rather not hurt. We're the ones who have to live with ourselves, ultimately. And some of us had a long time with ourselves to know how that can go.

[tilts his head at that, but doesn't argue it]

Hmm, I guess I was mistaken then. Oh well.

But that's not what I meant. It makes no sense to prolong someone's suffering, even if you love them. And I say them as a general term, there's no love lost with me. Bringing emotions into games just causes way too much trouble. You don't get that?

I don't get why you think not bringing emotions is somehow better. People aren't robots. Emotions are involved even when you like to claim they aren't.

You're really not fooling anyone here.

Maybe instead of looking for an "out" like that, try actually dealing with your emotions for once.

[??????]

And what do you think this is? You want to know my feelings? I did a bad, baaaad thing, and should be punished. Simple, logical, to the point. I feel super duper guilty boss! How's that?

Sounds kinky and I'm trying very hard not to be engaging with people outside of Maki and A at the moment.

[WOW]

WOW?

You did hear yourself right?

[affecting a way more appealing kind of higher tone]

"I did a bad, bad thing, and should be punished."

[and back to normal:]

Seriously, I'm already surrounded by masochistic tendencies and it's been very difficult. So could you not...?

[... i-is he joking?]

[WHEEZE sinking in his chair]

I'm learning a lot about Bad End that I am pretty sure I did not want to know now. . .
