(( from here )) Ah—! [ eager and hopeful, and it shows on her face ] Is loyalty enough, do you think? I'm really good at loyalty, but what you do with loyalty..... doesn't that matter most of all?
[ but oh right, oh no, Sabre was also feeling Bad?? ] ....Also... it seems like us talking isn't making you happy, so... I can stop. If that's better.
[ well as long as it's not her! in that case, she comes a little closer. ]
I think... [ voice going a little quieter ] ...if you decide to be devoted to someone, then you're devoted forever. [ this time she feels the devotion in a pang—like some terrible Wound that can't be mended ]
So.... it's stupid, if someone said they were loyal to you, and then they weren't. They're stupid.
Accomplice: Miss Hellfire? This is Levity from future is now. Accomplice: I am told Jason helped fix you after the game. Do you know where he's gone after that?
REACH HEAVEN THROUGH VIOLENCE: y wud i tell u stuf REACH HEAVEN THROUGH VIOLENCE: fin hates BAD END rite
[ a delay ]
REACH HEAVEN THROUGH VIOLENCE: but i gess it is diffrent if its for jason-senpai. REACH HEAVEN THROUGH VIOLENCE: i dont no war he went, but i will look. jason-senpai isnt allrite is he. he hates himself alot.
Accomplice: Jason does hate himself a lot. I worry for him. Accomplice: But we do not hate you. Do not assume that the choices made during the game were made out of maliciousness instead of necessity. Accomplice: I wanted to protect my wife, Lily of BARiTONES. Jason insisted that we keep the healers safe, nor would he risk having most points, because dying is his greatest fear. Accomplice: Had it been almost any other unit instead of BAD END in that lineup, they would have suffered the same fate.
REACH HEAVEN THROUGH VIOLENCE: o so its way wors then hate REACH HEAVEN THROUGH VIOLENCE: i no it wasnt VENGEANCE becus we protec jason-senpai and angel-chan wen we can. and it wasnt WAR. or fiting for fun. REACH HEAVEN THROUGH VIOLENCE: its that u didnt evn think abowt us at al.
Accomplice: You have no idea what I did or did not think about. Accomplice: You do not know what was said, thought or felt. Accomplice: All you see is the end result.
REACH HEAVEN THROUGH VIOLENCE: i didnt no wat u thot abowt REACH HEAVEN THROUGH VIOLENCE: what you thought about
[ thanks for the inadvertent Hooked on Phonics, levity ]
REACH HEAVEN THROUGH VIOLENCE: befor. but then you told me, just now. REACH HEAVEN THROUGH VIOLENCE: watever you said or thought or felt dosnt chaing what you did. it wud hav ben the same for ALMOST anywan. thats what you said. so you rely WUD have chainged it for sum units. REACH HEAVEN THROUGH VIOLENCE: but not us. you felt and thought and said and then you desided that BAD END=DEAD END is a unit that you can thro away.
REACH HEAVEN THROUGH VIOLENCE: i no i wasnt thar. i shud hav helped protec them. insted i just see how bad u broke them. so bad that thay need Hell marks for thar scars.
[he texts with jason and dva on a semiregular basis, this is nothing]
Accomplice:I might not have changed it for other units. My priority was BARiTONES, and I will admit to it. Accomplice: Jason, however, would have sacrificed everything for WILD CITY, and I would have given in to that. Accomplice: Arya would have done everything to save ZRAEL and Heart Soldier. In that scenario we likely would have sacrificed BARiTONES. Accomplice: I will not deny you your anger over seeing your unit hurt. Accomplice: But I will deny you your wild assumptions on what the decision cost me and what we think of your unit. Accomplice: I also do not understand why you would assign us hatred or indifference, when you yourself have just said that all you see is how bad we broke them. What does it matter to you if it was done with difficulty or ease or out of any particular emotion?
Accomplice: But since we are on the topic. I've heard about your sabotage of BiT during the game. Accomplice: Is your thirst for vengeance satisfied? And can I expect you to do the same for my unit in games to come?
[ Hearing that makes her look back over shoulder, at the small gathering of fin members. For a long moment, she just watches them, and Angel. Then she turns back to Jason. ]
Yeah. I don't think... my kind of help is what Angel-chan needs right now.
It's vengeance, and it's because everyone was doing bad in the game. [ voice picking up intensity ] No one's gonna protect BAD END, so unless I wanted to say it was okay for Serenity-chan to be hurt, we had to make it so that some other team was doing worse.
And Hope told me. She told me that BARiTONES was one of the ones who threw BAD END away. They did it double, and they didn't have to, and BAD END got broken so bad that they got Hell marks for their scars.
It's fine that I got shot, but everyone except the BARiTONES hostage was acting like it didn't make sense at all to do it. Because it was a different game now, so obviously it shouldn't matter.
Most people wanna leave what happened in the last game behind.
Except when they wanna nurse on the poison. Bad End did a lot of that. Whether it's smart or not, in a game where you repeatedly go up against the same teams, but different people, who knows. The FiN playing this time wasn't the same group playing that decided to stab your team in the back.
I wouldn't blame you for going after them. But I'm glad you didn't.
That's not why I didn't do vengeance on future is now. 'Cause no, I'm not gonna forget, even if it's not the exact same people. It's never the exact same people, and I'm not gonna say that means it never matters.
I didn't do vengeance on future is now because I love Angel-chan, and I didn't want her to hurt any worse. She was already hurting so much, too...
[ she grits her teeth a moment, silent with thought ]
Hope said that what we did was enough vengeance, because the important thing is that everyone knows that BAD END cares when we get thrown away. It's not alright to throw anyone away, and that means us too.
...So if Hope says it's enough, then it's enough for me too, because Hope's the one who got scarred. And Serenity said it was enough that we wanted to try to protect her like that at all. I think Serenity sings the Song of the Dark, maybe. She's like you, that way.
... I told 'em to send the second instead to Bad End.
So, if you wanna get mad at someone, get mad at me. It made more sense to hit sensitIV with the instead, but honestly, if we were gonna put BAD END last, I figured we better mean it. Instead of some half-hearted bullshit.
♘🔆 Chivalry Luminosity 🔆♘: Miss "Cut Through All Foes" Kiri Hellfire Temptation of Angels which is called Khrysaor of BAD END=DEAD END,
While we didn't have much chance to speak or get to know each other during the recent bout, I must confess that I have great interest in your make and build, as well as curiosity about the mental effects that seem to accompany wielding you. In addition, after you were damaged following my fight with K, I did my best to repair you but due to your unique circumstances and the general situation I'm not entirely confident that there were no problems. If you would permit it, I'd like to take a look at you again and make sure everything is in order.
Felicity and I will be going on an expedition to the far reaches of the city to explore the surrounding wilderness - she has expressed a desire to have this be a company outing since she is not yet confident in her leadership abilities, but if you would like to meet before then or just afterwards I am open to it! Of course, if you would prefer not to meet at all, this is also acceptable. Just let me know!
Thank you very much and have a radiant day, Radiant Knight Chivalry Luminosity of future is now

Day 235: Sabre
Ah—! [ eager and hopeful, and it shows on her face ]
Is loyalty enough, do you think? I'm really good at loyalty, but what you do with loyalty..... doesn't that matter most of all?
[ but oh right, oh no, Sabre was also feeling Bad?? ]
....Also... it seems like us talking isn't making you happy, so...
I can stop. If that's better.
Re: Day 235: Sabre
. . . Whatever. It's not you.
And in this place, where even your "friends" will sell you out? Loyalty's everything.
Re: Day 235: Sabre
I think... [ voice going a little quieter ] ...if you decide to be devoted to someone, then you're devoted forever.
[ this time she feels the devotion in a pang—like some terrible Wound that can't be mended ]
So.... it's stupid, if someone said they were loyal to you, and then they weren't. They're stupid.
Re: Day 235: Sabre
You think so?
Re: Day 235: Sabre
I mean, I'm not the Power of Loyalty or anything, but.... yeah. That's what I think.

Day 352, post Family Feud
[ Hearing that makes her look back over shoulder, at the small gathering of fin members. For a long moment, she just watches them, and Angel.
Then she turns back to Jason. ]
Yeah. I don't think... my kind of help is what Angel-chan needs right now.
[ —and she heads outside. ]
Re: Day 352, post Family Feud
No kidding. Mine neither.
Re: Day 352, post Family Feud
[ but she leans against him, apparently content with not sharing for the time being. ]
Re: Day 352, post Family Feud
[he glances down as she leans, but doesn’t push away. Just sighs, and looks ahead.]
Screwing over BiT?
Re: Day 352, post Family Feud
It's vengeance, and it's because everyone was doing bad in the game. [ voice picking up intensity ] No one's gonna protect BAD END, so unless I wanted to say it was okay for Serenity-chan to be hurt, we had to make it so that some other team was doing worse.

[ a pause ]
....Hope said that future is now did that too.
Re: Day 352, post Family Feud
[he doesn’t seem to react to the accusation, keeping calm.]
It’d be better if BAD END played smart all the time, but I’ll take it if it’s vengeance or whatever.
Re: Day 352, post Family Feud
It's fine that I got shot, but everyone except the BARiTONES hostage was acting like it didn't make sense at all to do it. Because it was a different game now, so obviously it shouldn't matter.
But that's not how scars work.
