Castle Game: BAD END=DEAD END

[Suddenly, you hear the wailing of a horn. Outside, tension is turning to panic. You can't see anything, but you can hear people gathering up their things, sobbing in fear or speaking in harsh whispers. A lone voice calls from the distance:

The enemy approaches!

Upon the map, an unfamiliar geography appears -- several small nations, clustered together. Outside of them, an endless sea of enemy forces, identified only by a symbol of a cracked skull. Each of the small nations is marked with a flag in one unit's colour, and a tiny model of a castle.

You are at war. How will you protect your people and yourself?

(Rules & questions are here. Cleo is your gamerunner!)

[ wait is your biggest concern here that your efforts to get into one person's good graces are ruined here?

he didn't think he'd respect joker less than before, but here we are. ]

Seems to me like the bigger concern is that we have two peoples' brains who're scrambled. Is that even something that can be undone?

Anyone with that ability can fix it.

Are they interested in having it undone, or are they out for blood?

I don't know. Talon said he was going to talk to Wild City about reparations.

Even if we don't know what's gone?

How does that one even work? Do you just — fish around in there?

You have to know what was changed, first of all.

And if we found out about this through Wild City, they probably know but good luck to us getting them to trust us with fixing anything when it was kept quiet for two fucking months.

They've known for awhile and never approached us. Talon only brought it up with me because it came up when he wanted to follow up about his protection plan. He was sure Nine did it

[well, he's just going to have to fucking punch Nine.

clearly.]

[She sighs, but she can't blame him]

So we'll make the offer. If they don't want the help, that's their call, but at least it's on the table.

[oh fuck off, there's a reason this matters a lot--ITS BECAUSE. HARUTO. IS A FRIEND. AND IS CLOSE TO ARIES!!!]

Yes, it can be.

So the real main issue is why the fuck are we finding out about this two months later which is two months longer for Wild City to build up resentment against us--especially since Aries and Haruto have been around longest and Aries is their unit leader.

[just. tosses hands up.]

[ i mean the way that came off at first was that he was most concerned about his standing with his friend. SO.

and uh. having seen him punch 99 at this point, ]

I'm sure his unwillingness to say anything has nothing to do with the way you keep people in line, Mussolini.

[ just. this look of utter contempt

you fuck off, you anger management drop out. ]

Oh fuck off.

Nine-Nine told me ages ago that he'd use that ability on one of us, and I told him ages ago that if he used it on one of us, I'd fucking punch him.

You wanna call me a controlling dictator? Why don't you do some research into the subject first.

Warning someone you're going to do it first doesn't make you any less controlling you stupid jack ass. But everyone here's so fucking happy living under your thumb, I don't know why I bothered saying a god damn thing in the first place.

[ and he is. done and disengaging. ]

[WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU GETTING THIS BULLSHIT?!

but definitely hearing that explanation to Tatsuya and for fuck's sake--]

Look, I'm sorry I smacked you upside the head that one time. But I didn't think it was a big deal until you reacted the way you did, and then you left so I thought you didn't want me to do or say anything about it! And now you're using it to form a warped cognition about how I am--but news flash: I'm not a controlling asshole! And literally everyone else here will fight and punch each other! So I'm sorry I didn't consider that you probably wouldn't also!

And I won't do it again!

But hell fucking yes, I'm going to punch Nine-Nine when he fucks with a unitmate's memories and hides it for two months!

If I have a problem with a guy who hit me it's none of your goddamn concern, so you fuck off.

Joker's one of my most important people so if you have a problem, it's definitely my concern.

[ He's seeing that. But ]

I have a problem with him regardless.

So did I at first. What happened?

[ It's Cool

it turns out arguments stop happening if you just suddenly start disassociating!! ]

[Hm.]

[...hm.]

[This will get to be a conversation for another time, because he doesn't actually want a fight going down in the middle of a life-and-death game.]
