GM Game: avante en garde

[ The door shuts behind you, leaving you in a copy of this room. Upon one of the fancy tables is your card for the round, along with slots for each unit for you to go slide in your choices.

You can come and go as you will, but once you have left the room, you cannot speak of anything that transpires within: not your choices, not your discussion, not your alliances.

Do your best, idol-tachi. ]

People can believe in stupid things. And people can push themselves to do stupid things without ever realizing they're stupid until someone else literally tells them it's stupid.

You're willing to shed your own blood for a unit you claim you don't care about. You're inadvertently controlling our ability to make decisions regarding that unit because while we don't really care about them or what they think about us, we care about you. Even if losing blood isn't a big thing to you, I've seen enough of my unitmates dying or bleeding to know I don't want to see that happening to you. Pain's still pain.

So yeah, I think that's stupid and I don't support it. But you're your own person and can make your own decisions and I'm not gonna stop you, I'm just gonna say they sound really stupid and try to stop caring because I'm tired of having to be the bystander who can't do shit to help.

[There's a flicker of gold in Griffin's eyes as suddenly, his voice grows more heated]

You think just 'cause I can fight, that I feel like any less of a bystander right now?? Everyone who started with me is gone! In like a week we lost them both, and every day I wonder if it's my turn-- I was less than useless for Nemesis 'cause I get trapped as a glorified pet dog now... Not once have I ever solved a problem by punching it, no matter how badly I want to. I can't-- I can't protect a goddamn thing.

So fine, maybe I do care that people might see us as something other than what I've always seen us being. That's stupid, yeah! So's not caring about getting hurt. But don't tell me I'm stupid for what I believe when I believe in you!

[ I guess a yell is happening now. And also Kansai accent, because Gold's having a whole feeling. ]

How th' hell is tellin' us ta not be petty asses protectin' us an' not just Taisho? Maybe we're all jus' petty asses! I was startin' to think that was fine 'cause at least we're united in bein' petty asses an' all okay with it because that's just how we are!

Why the fuck do we gotta be better people over somethin' we don't take seriously? Why the hell's 'we don't like them' not enough of a reason ta toss them 'em cards or effects that aren't even gonna do much? Taisho ain't gonna change their minds because of this, they're jus' waitin' for us to fuck up so they can go 'hah I knew it.' And we're gonna fuck it up because none of us like ta think before doin' shit an' that's just how we are!

I've never heard shit from 'em about all the shit they've put us through, but we gotta be the ones to control ourselves because they're goin' around tellin' everyone we're assholes? Fine then, I'm an asshole! At least now I don't hafta keep pretendin' I'm not for the opinion of someone who's always gonna think the same thing about me!

[Griffin blinks, completely taken aback by the accent. It's surprising enough that the gold in his eyes fizzles out immediately, and just adds to this feeling of... maybe... did he ever really know Gold at all?

He's such a straightforward, face value person that it never even occurred to him that Gold's feelings ran so deep. He never let it on.

There's a stunned silence that takes all the wind out of his sails. Then, quietly,]

...You're not an asshole. I'm the asshole.

You're right...? I shouldn't have assumed I-- understood what you guys felt. It wasn't any of my business and...

I'll call it off.

[ Gold's on this fox yell path and he doesn't know how to hop off. ]

We're both assholes! I'm the asshole yellin' at you right now!

We're a unit an' unit decisions involve all of us. So we're assholes for not explainin' it clearly an' you can be assholes for not askin' but that's jus' not knowin' so I'm only a lil' mad about that.

I get that you're tryin' to help us, but jus' ask us stuff instead of sellin' your life away for some unit who'll only change the way we think about 'em by askin' one of us to be used as a hostage against our own unit! 'Cause that's the only way I can see it!

[The yell train is running over Griffin and he's roadkill now. Just shrinking, probably more pained and ashamed than anyone's ever seen him look his entire life.]

You're right. I'm sorry.

I... swear I won't do it again.

[ Gold doesn't know how to handle a fight where the other party doesn't yell back at him, this is weird. He's less yell now, and more cranky ranting at least. ]

You're allowed to make whatever choices ya want. I'm jus' also allowed ta say they're stupid.

No one here's some perfect, never wrong being. We're all fuck up assholes, but at the very least we should be able ta rely on each other ta get better. But we can't do that if no one knows what the hell anyone else is doin'.
