[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. ]

[ BIG FUCKING MOOD

He's saving his own punching for later though. ]

Do you want to protect them?

[foolmetwice]

[. . . . . . .]

Yeah.

[a pause]

And LiliS, too.

[puzzlekeeper]

LiliS...?

[ Since when???? ]

[foolmetwice]

LiliS.

[good question!]

[he ain't answering it]

[crossmyheartandhope]

You know one of the new girls?

[foolmetwice]

["new girls"]

[hesitates. . .]

He's not a girl.

[crossmyheartandhope]

...ah.

[foolmetwice]

. . .

[immediately looks away]

[crossmyheartandhope]

You guys close?

[puzzlekeeper]

[ Hah. Well. Now isn't the time to ask about it anyway. ]

It seems this may be the only downside of our having so many attachments.

[foolmetwice]

[l o l]

And nobody listened to me when I said not making friends was the way to go.

[Mars didn't even listen to himself]

[puzzlekeeper]

[ DEADPANNED, ]

Yes, you did a pretty terrible job with that one.

[foolmetwice]

Hey! I tried!

[puzzlekeeper]

It was doomed to failure from the beginning, and that's probably for the best. Everyone needs attachments.

[dragonheartedgirl]

Mars. That's enough.

[ It was one thing when you wanted to shout about cutting off Exael's head but

Making your unitmates feel bad for needing friends and having attachments is Not Helpful. ]

Those same attachments you're deriding have saved us multiple times in the past. Don't speak ill of them.

[puzzlekeeper]

[ +1 tbh ]

[foolmetwice]

I'm not.

[turning to face her, grip on his collar tightening]

I'm pointing out the obvious. Games like this would be easier if you didn't care about anyone. No mental anguish, no worries that the people you care about most might die because you chose to protect someone else you thought might be more at risk. . .

That's not me speaking ill of your attachments. That's me stating a fact.

[shakes his head]

. . . and arguing about it is pointless, anyway. All of us have people we want to protect, even-- [hesitates, choking on his words a bit]

Even me, okay? So let's focus on that.

[dragonheartedgirl]

[ do you need to be hysteric slapped

She's eyeing him carefully and giving him time to say his piece and when it's her turn to talk again, ]

Then stop saying things to hurt and provoke others. If you think it would really be better or easier to live without connections to others, even given these circumstances, then you still have a lot to learn, especially about us.

[inspiteful]

He's just spelling it out plainly.

[ Though Eclipse himself doesn't seem very happy about it, either. ]

...And in any case, we all have that problem, himself included. So let's figure out how we're gonna deal with who to choose first.

[dragonheartedgirl]

[ lol guess we're gonna argue too. ]

I would have fallen apart a dozen times and not been able to put myself back together long before you two even got here if not for the people off this team. So don't talk to me about how it would be better not to have them! I know perfectly well what a hell it is to think you have no one!

[foolmetwice]

[. . . . . . . .]

[kind of giving Eclipse a grateful look]

[ferociousfuckingnerd]

Hiryuu-san, that's not what he's doing.

[crossmyheartandhope]

Yeah, but if you're just gonna go through without making friends, what's even the point?

[foolmetwice]

Self-preservation.

[he answers simply]

[dragonheartedgirl]

[ somebody gets it at least...

i'm already tired. has it been three hours yet? ]
