[This room might be a nice, slightly whimsical surrounds to talk things over in, if it weren't for the collars and countdowns on your phones. ]

[a surprised blink]

I don't know. Not that I know of. Are you thinking of protecting them?

[sonof]

I haven't ruled them out. Azrael, pep, sensitiv, Wild City. If any of them would be likely to be covered, I'll set them aside.

[rollplayinghouse]

...I'd vote Azrael of those, for sure. It's not that they don't have friends, but people aren't going to think of them to protect, because they're known for handling that kind of thing.

I don't know the others very well.

[and therefore doesn't care about saving them]

...But, do you really think it's safe to just assume the others are covered?

[sonof]

There are people who won't take chances with Heart or future. Likely Alcheme, as well. If Alcheme has a lick of sense, they'll protect Bad End, but whether they have it is certainly the question, isn't it.

[rollplayinghouse]

...I'd say it's pretty likely AlcheME will, but... it depends who's there.

Why do you think future is now is safe?

[sonof]

Because Angel and Intensity are there.

[rollplayinghouse]

That doesn't mean they're safe. Angel has a lot of friends, but the person she's closest to is Intensity. Other people will have other people to save. And Intensity's well-known, but also known for laughing off dying. I'm not sure anyone would try to save him specifically.

[sonof]

Red once publicly declared her love for Angel. She hasn't made a comparable display for anyone else since, nor has another member of Azrael, as far as I'm aware.

It doesn't mean they're safe. Nor do Heart's ties mean they're safe, nor Alcheme's. Nor ours. But I'll be just as surprised if we leave this room as mounds of viscera.

[rollplayinghouse]

...Red may love Angel, but her love is violent, not protective.

And I'm not all that sure we're safe, either.

[sonof]

... Are you underestimating the value of people who aren't "normal"?

[ not really trying to argue anything. almost amused, if he were a little less brittle and tired and quiet ]

[rollplayinghouse]

...What? No. I didn't say she was worth less, or even that she loved her less. The only question here is whether she'll pick future is now to protect in this game.

[sonof]

Not Red. The rest of us. Angel, Intensity, you and I.

It doesn't really matter. I don't have any issue with choosing future, either.

[rollplayinghouse]

...Fine. Though I'm not sure the others will agree.

It does matter, though, because I have no idea what you were talking about.

[sonof]

You aren't worried about Heart or Alcheme, are you?

[rollplayinghouse]

I'm worried about everyone. But them slightly less, yes. But not because they're 'normal.'

[sonof]

[ conversationally ]

Recently, the princess killed a man for my sake.

I'm disliked by others, but in this setup, I don't think we'll be left behind.

[rollplayinghouse]

I don't have your confidence.

And I still don't get what you're trying to say. Hiryuu is more capable of violence than I would have thought. How is that relevant?

[sonof]

[ wryly ]

Is it confidence, I wonder. I just keep being more valued than I expect.

[rollplayinghouse]

I don't think I'm not valued. It's just not a matter of value in this situation.

[sonof]

Not solely.
