Castle Game: BAD END=DEAD END

[idolpro]

[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!)

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.

[neverbeentogeorgia]

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. ]

[criminaljustice]

[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!

[neverbeentogeorgia]

[ twice now he's seen joker have a problem with his unitmates and twice hitting's been involved

TO HIM IT'S THE START OF A PATTERN and the precedence for how Joker deals with his problems. And he could explain that but as soon as the words "warped cognition" come up he's flashing back on the his memories of nearly being mentally hospitalized and

you can see him shuttering off, facial expression sliding into one that is perfectly neutral as he Turns Off the part of him that gave a shit. ]

Do what you want. It's none of my business anyway.

[criminaljustice]

[welp

time to assume that someone's written him off after he made a single mistake.

again.

not gonna push anything.]

[searingedgelord]

[Excuse me]

I don't live under anyone's thumb.

[criminaljustice]

Let alone mine.

[sorry but sure is hitting all of his I GUESS I'M JUST A SHIT GARBAGE PERSON buttons and appaaaarentttlllyyyyy fiiiiiightiiiing is not prooooduuuuuuctiiiiiive.]

[motorcycle_noises]

[ It's been forever since he's done this but he's reaching to grab Joker's hand. ]

[criminaljustice]

[... you can have a hand 8( mAYBE A HELD HAND MEANS HE WON'T HAUL OFF AND PUNCH PEOPLE]

[motorcycle_noises]

[ That's not why he grabbed that hand, it's just an unintended side effect. Either way, this hand is Tatsuya's now. ]

[searingedgelord]

I never liked calling you Boss.

[She ruffles his hair a bit tho]

[criminaljustice]

[lets her do that, mostly because he is giving up on trying to correct Senpai's viewing of him--it's pretty clear he made up his mind with that smack upside the head that was clearly a mistake and just. doesn't. want to bother with people who write him off after one mistake.]

[searingedgelord]

[She's gonna have to talk to both of you when this game is over]

[neverbeentogeorgia]

Well, yeah.

[ ????????????????

it's. funny. because somehow Silk didn't even figure into this argument because in his head dark haired beauties can't be put under anybody's thumb ]

[searingedgelord]

[Senpai plz]

Just don't want you to think I'm easy to boss around.

[neverbeentogeorgia]

I assume you'd break the jaw of anyone fool enough to hit you.

[searingedgelord]

Well, yeah. I punched Nine right after I woke up because he put his hands on me.

[That was a fun first impression]
