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. ]

[a little of the anger fades, which just leaves him looking tired]

We could have done that with Future is Now. He conveniently forgot that when he was creating his plan specifically targeted against me.

...But I apologize. That's not your fault.

[liftoft]

...Thanks. For talkin' to me, even when things went this way for you. I'll remember, if it comes up again. I wanna say somethin' like, hopefully nothing this bad'll never happen again, but I'm pretty sure I can already tell that ain't gonna be the case.

[ he leans a bit closer, to gently nudge A in the side ]

How come you two're goin' after each other, anyway?

[afailedmurder]

[tenses a little, what is casual physical contact]

...He and I have never entirely gotten along. I'd thought we'd come to something of a truce, but here we are.

[liftoft]

...Sorry to hear it! You both seem really clever, so maybe you're just not used to havin' somebody else around like that. I hope you can work it out! I know I ain't known you long, but so far you seem pretty cool to me, an' it'd be a shame if you were fightin' all the time.

[afailedmurder]

[grimaces]

Clever or not, I am nothing like him.

[liftoft]

I didn't say you were the same, I just said you were both clever.

But you know what, we don't gotta talk about him, forget about him for a minute.

[afailedmurder]

Would that I could.

[but he sighs and says nothing further on the subject]

[liftoft]

[ Chuckles a little, and claps A on the shoulder, all friendly like ]

Actually, I dunno! I kinda feel like I wanna hang on to the few memories I got, even if they haven't been great so far. Something about amnesia, probably.

[afailedmurder]

You may find that's not the case once you start buying them.

...You never had the chance to talk to Maki, did you?

[liftoft]

Ah, nah... I was hopin' I'd see her at the break, but... well, that didn't exactly work out.

[afailedmurder]

[half-hearted:]

Mm. Your timing is truly phenomenally unlucky.

[liftoft]

Sure is! It is what it is though, so... nothing to do but push forward, right? I can't even tell if it'd be any better if this kinda thing hadn't happened until a lot later... it probably wouldn't be that much different.

[afailedmurder]

...No, probably not.
