It's the best choice for the future of sensitIV. I know you guys don't like each other, but if we're going to defend ourselves from them in the future, we should defend them here, now.
It's about sending a message, and hopefully they'll get it.
This is the only way to communicate with others right now...
That's what the contract was supposed to be! I already agreed to sign that, even though I hated it! I put a leash on myself so that we wouldn't have to worry about them attacking us but that's not what this game is! Not protecting them isn't the same as attacking them directly!
[ HE'S SO
HE'S. SO. ]
In the first place we're probably going to die! I know that it's my fault, and I know that I don't have any room to complain here, since I'm the one who put us in this position! But in that case I'm going to change my vote to Heart Soldier, so at least I can protect someone I want to protect!
I think that we have to think further into the future than just 'I want to stop one person I care about from dying one singular time', otherwise, I'd be choosing some unit like F- er, HSS, or Bad End, or maybe even avante, but I can't, because I want to try to reinforce the idea that Wild City might not kill the people most dear to me, my family, you, and the other members of sensitIV, in games where we are to be much more cruel than simply voting to defend someone...
They're not going to vote for us. [ firmly. though his voice cracks in a sort of breathless, frustrated despair. ] They're never going to trust us. They're just going to take this as a power move. They're fu-- [ starts to stop himself but actually, no, fuck it ] They're fucking nutjobs.
If they don't take it the way I think they do, the most important part of it is what we do. Not only for Wild City, but for the way we are perceived by the other units too.
How they all react will determine how I act in the future in response.
...But it's okay. I understand, Loki, they are... they are pretty odd. I just can't bring myself to agree with your choice. I still think it's the best thing we can do for ourselves. And besides, I'm certainly no one to call others "nutjobs".
[He's the crazy evil clown after all. He's the idiot who let someone kill him in order to meet Lilith. And he'd been the one to kill Nemesis in such a terrible manner.]
[ ... he's losing this argument and he knows it and honestly the inevitability of the situation is filling him with the urge to lie down and die. too bad they can't even manage to do THAT much this game. ]
... you're not a nutjob. [ albeit weakly, tired. ]
he's such a fuck up he just made his little brother cry ]
Don't, [ half-breathless and with a crack in his voice, ] That's not true. I-
[ well he's certainly hurt right now
and. before this, even, but. even so... ]
... I'm selfish and I know this. I don't trust Wild City at all. But I trust you, and I want to believe that you'll be right, but I can't. ... I can't bring myself to believe in them. That's all...
[He nods a little. He and Lucifel certainly... disagreed before.]
Well, we have the alliance now, and so. It would be best for both of our teams if we treated it that way, I think. I don't know if I trust them to think the same way, but I want to extend to them the olive branch, give them the chance.
[ HE DOESN'T UNDERSTAND WHAT'S GOING ON HE DIDN'T THINK THAT THIS WAS GOING TO PAN OUT AND HE JUST THOUGHT THAT HE SHOULD HANDLE EVERYTHING HIMSELF BUT IT TURNS OUT THAT MAYBE HE HAS SOME FORM OF IMPACT ON THE UNIT AND PEOPLE ARE EVEN GOING ALONG WITH THIS THING AND HE CAME INTO THE GAME IN COMPLETE RESIGNATION AND NOW HE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON
startles, stiff for a moment before he
slowly, slowly, wraps his arms around nya and hugs him back ]
I do have to agree with Loki. There are people I like on Wild City-- Silver and Talon, but I don't believe our allegiance has to lie with them. I was also not part of whatever happened with their unit.
[So when it comes to wanting to protect someone, there are definitely people he prioritizes above whatever this deal is. The princess, his friends from home, and his own unit for one.]
While I agree with that sentiment, and my vote still firmly remains with Heart Soldier Senshi, followed by Avante, Wild City remains my third option. While I don't know that we owe them anything, I do think it would likely be shown as a sign of good faith. And as far as I can tell, our unit doesn't have many others that it can depend on. If they vote to save our own, it really might be a step in the right direction toward bettering relations.
I understand. There is no need to change how you vote. I will agree with whatever everyone decides no matter what it is, but these are my thoughts and feelings on the matter.
[Sniffling a little and suppressing a cough. He's feverish and this whole event is making him feel worse by the second.]
Regarding Wild City?
[He shakes his head.]
I only learned that we don't have good relations with them the other day after talking to one of their members. Outside of that, I've heard about the Trial. I don't know if the situation with Wild City is related to that or not...
[No one has...elaborated much on anything. Not without some prompting, and even then!!]
I. . . I just want to protect my family. The princess is dear to me. She is--- she is incredibly precious. I would do anything--
[He swallows, desperately trying to bite back the tears that sting the corner of his eyes, hands shaking as his hands fist into his pants to try and still them from trembling. But....]
But if I can't convince everyone here to protect my family from home, then I want to at least protect my family here. If it means that you and everyone else can at least be spared in the future. Even if we don't make it out of this alive today... then I want to do at least that little bit.

Y-yes I am.

I'm sorry, Loki. [GOD HE'S SUCH A DISAPPOINTMENT. But he can't say that. He doesn't want to sound like he's guilting Loki.]
It's okay if you're angry with me. I'll... understand.

Nya sniffles, nodding but he can't keep his eyes on Loki's right now. He feels bad for making Loki feel selfish, but he really does understand.]
