pep!pep! - UNSCORED BONDING BARTEND SESSION

[idolpro]

[ At some point in the nebulous post-game future, the unit is summoned to the Game Tower, and directly to a bar.

The bar is unit-colored with light unit paraphernalia, although it's all just for show. Fortunately, comfort isn't part of the unit aesthetic this time—all seats are cushioned, whether the booth seats or the bar stools, comfy and lush. Idols can sit anywhere they like, it seems.

There's alcohol available, but everything else is locked behind the wall-cabinet. . . the recipe book is also available to peruse at one's leisure.

Ah—the door opens, and a fuzzy sort of shade steps in. It looks like idols will be serving the Damned, today. . . ? ]

[She can feel every bit of doubt, every conflict in his heart right up until the moment his friend leaves.]

Sometimes, doing the right thing isn't easy, you know?

[Hesitant. Maybe he can sense how much she wants to reassure him, to help. She takes a breath.]

Where I'm from, Hunters were like that too. That feeling you had about wanting to focus on your mission? I understand it really well, even if it's not something I've experienced for myself. Hunters were like that more often than not.

[He does have a red ribbon, clearly they're trying to make a lot.]

[The feeling of wanting to help is...]

[Strange]

[Coming from an outside source and it just makes him uncertain.]

Its usually easy to do the right thing. I mean, my orders were clear, my uncle needed it done, and palismen are just...

Just creatures. [Doubt. Such doubt.]

But something about that human- [A flash of defensiveness, guarded as he says human over her name.] She made it sound like the wrong thing. [Because the problem is, he doesn't think he was doing the 'right' thing. He was doing the thing he Wanted.] Like...like my uncle isn't doing it for the greater good. Like his every moment isn't about trying to help the Isles.

I'm sure if there was another option then....whatever happens to the palismen, he'd do it, but I don't know how much time he has.

Maybe they can both be right. What that girl tried to do in protecting them and what your uncle is trying to do. There are different ways to be right.

[She's not out here trying to make him feel like he should doubt his uncle. She understands. There is still right and wrong but that sort of thing is subjective, even if she isn't always able to see that when it comes to herself.

It reminds her a little of her other father. Of Kaname. She only knew pieces from her parents but got the general sense that she knew all of his past, even if he could no longer remember it.]

Is he running out of time? Like... something is happening to him or your home?

...both.

My uncle is cursed. Something is eating away at him. You can see it eating away his flesh and any outbursts of magic causes him pain. [A flicker of fear.] I think the palismen might help with it, but that's only a guess from a flow of conversation.

And something is happening in the isles, but that...we need more force and we need more unity. I recruited abomination specialists to bolster our forces. And I-

The Golden Guard was made the head of the Emperor's Coven to promote the idea of serving the greater good over one's self. [A deep, tired resignation.]

But I don't know what its for.
