The Last Supper - AlcheME!

[ The elevator lets you out into a private room: from the decor, it is doubtlessly an enclave of the restaurant you saw earlier on screen.

Your phones have filled with a rather sizable rule list. ]

[ Alright, well, this all went to hell ]

Dammit... we get all this time to talk it out, so how come I feel like both times we ended up rushin' the worst possible decision at the last second.

[neigh_sayer]

[sees that A did in fact, pick Whisky.

SHARP INHALE]



To be fair there is no "best" decision in this scenario.

Though you're right. If Whisky isn't a heart, and I highly doubt he is, we've wasted a turn, and prolonged the game. Not to mention, J might die.

Neeheehee! We've completely done the opposite of what we shot for! How funny!

[liftoft]

Not really that funny, actually.

...I met that guy. Tell me about you an' him, again?

[neigh_sayer]

Are you really curious, or do you just want a distraction?

[liftoft]

It can't be both?

...I mean it, though. If there's some kinda politics or whatever goin' on here, I wanna make sure I understand it.

[neigh_sayer]

Ahaha, how honest.

Eeeeh, saying it's politics puts too much emphasis on it. Long story short, I got him to work for me! It took a long time, too. I don't know if you noticed, but he's kiiind of a sociopath? But I like him, he's fun. And it doesn't hurt to have someone like that on your side.

But anyway, since I got him and Silver to be my subordinates, I said I'd always do whatever's in my power to protect them. Cuz. . .that's what a leader does. Neeheehee, of course, Whisky knows better, but I still don't appreciate A making me a liar.

[liftoft]

You did what you could. Pretty sure that's still true. Not like you okayed this move, here.

But anyway, there is is again--what's this "subordinates" thing about?

[neigh_sayer]

Oooh, that. Well, it started out as kind of a joke between me and Gold. Way back when we first woke up, B and decided that the best way to protect ourselves was to make lots of friends. The more people you know, the more resources at your disposal, right?

And then I met Gold, on Avante. He's suuuper serious! So I said he was my knight now! And he was like "okay." Then he took an oath, and bam! Knight get.

Then his brother played along, but he's not a knight, so I made him my bouncer. Then Whisky came along! He has cat ears, so he's Topcat. Then there was Hurricane, then Lucifel. . .sooo, I've just started my own little empire.

Oh, oh, there's Mori, too! But he wanted to be B's hero, so I'm his villain instead. Neeheehee, it's silly, right?

[liftoft]

Haha... man, I can't tell how serious you're bein' here or not. I get this place is fucked up, but either way we're performers, right? It feels like you've got a whole character goin' here!

[neigh_sayer]

Hmm. . .whether I'm serious or not, it's definitely still a brand we've built. And they all play along, so why wouldn't I, too? You're right about being performers, but that's no reason to not have fun with it.

[liftoft]

Yeah! I definitely didn't say I thought there was anything wrong with it! It's, uh--kind of fun, I guess? Who doesn't like a story with some adventure in it, right?

[neigh_sayer]

I dunno if that's the genre I'd pick, but sure.

. . .you're pretty accepting of all that though. I could have just made it all up to make you sympathetic for my ~faves~.

[liftoft]

[ Shrugs! ]

Yeah, so? If they're important to you then of course I wanna be sympathetic to that! And anyway, I can just meet 'em myself and make my own decisions, so it's fine!

[neigh_sayer]

[


the fuck is this guy]



Ahaha! What a cheerful outlook. Well, don't feel obligated. Their my problem, and my crew. I'm sure you'll make your own little circle of friends we can argue about killing some day.

[liftoft]

O-Oi, you don't gotta say it like that...


...But yeah, maybe! I'm gonna have a bunch of friends! But you're wrong about the first part--they're your problem, so of course they're my problem, too. Jeez...

[neigh_sayer]

For a newbie that just barely woke up 24 hours ago, you sure love piling on some unnecessary burdens.

[liftoft]

C'mon, what's that supposed to mean?!

[neigh_sayer]

It means you're gonna crash hard sooner rather than later. All from shouldering a bunch issues you can't do a thing about.

Liiiike. . .this! Take it easy, 'kay?

[guess it's time for me to GO GET EATEN]

[liftoft]

H-Hey...!

[ right. that.
