[Were you looking at anything important? TOO BAD.

Your phone turns off]

[rollwithdisadvantage]

....

[Looks up.]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Busy?

[rollwithdisadvantage]

Can't you just come over and ask like a normal person?

[Pocketing his phone and getting up.]

Who am I kidding? Of course not.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

If you don't like my style, you can always fucking do something about it.

[rollwithdisadvantage]

Did Anubis talk to you?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Yes. But you already knew that.

And that's not what I'm here.

[rollwithdisadvantage]

Shit. Did something else happen?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

You punched one of the school brats.

And while I expect that bullshit from myself, it’s very off brand for our precious Shadow government.

[rollwithdisadvantage]

First, I punched him off camera.

Second, I punched Exael, why wouldn't I punch a brat here? He fuckin' deserved it. He'll cry to his friends and get over it.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

It's not about who deserves what. It's about control.

You punched Exael because you can't control your hate for the producers. But you have been able to contain your disdain for the other idols because of your hate for the producers.

So why the slip up now?

[rollwithdisadvantage]

And you're making conclusions on incomplete information. I punched Anubis, too. Though I admit that was for an entirely different reason.

Because he's a hindrance. If he continues to act that way, I'm going to lump him in with the producers.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

It's because he's unpredictable, isn't it?

[rollwithdisadvantage]

Is it so wrong of me to want to remove unplayable pieces from the board?

He's lucky B seems to see something in him.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

B sees something in everyone. That's not a fucking high bar.

And I don't disagree with your sentiment. I disagree with your actions or have you not been listening?

What the fuck is actually pissing you off?

[rollwithdisadvantage]

Exactly what I told him. He's not taking this with the seriousness this situation deserves.

I'm not going to spend eternity as some blob-esque existence because someone decided to take this lightly. Games are meaningless. The meeting with Mukuro? Who knows if we'll get another chance. If they ask about the fuckin' weather I'll murder them all on the spot.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Brute forcing this isn't going to work and you know it. Leave the kissing ass to the people who are fucking good at it.

You have more important work to do than micromanage a meeting with a lackey.

[rollwithdisadvantage]

Am I getting a pep talk?

I'll admit it wasn't the smartest move to make, but I did get my point across. He'll do his best at the meeting to spite me. I'll consider that a success.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Yes, you're getting a pep talk because something about you is fucked up right now. Something more than usual.

And I need you to fucking fix it.

[rollwithdisadvantage]

It's already in the works. I told you what the next stage of my plan is. Unless you have a shorter term goal you want me to work on, I'll stick with it.

Except I still need to talk to Haruto.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

I'm pretty sure you sent Okami loose on that particular task.

And something else fell in our lap that may make the whole process easier. Wild City came to me this morning looking to build a new arm after the Last Supper. I agreed with the price being Haruto tells us what he knows about the Casino of the Dead.

[rollwithdisadvantage]

Okami is not doing well. Maybe you should have a pep talk with him instead. He needed something to do and he's closer with Haruto. If he can't get answers then we'll go to plan B.

... Or maybe mine will be plan C. That sounds better.

Don't worry, I'm not going off the rails. I'm just taking a different approach.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

I fucking noticed Okami isn't doing well. Same as I noticed you. That live was a fucking fiasco.

And it has to be fucking bad if I notice that shit!

[rollwithdisadvantage]

Is it really? You notice more than most of the people here.

But don't worry, I've got it under control.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

You better. I don't have time to fucking babysit you.

[And it sounds like Anubis isn't in any condition to either]
