So mun is apping this one into havenrpg due to enablers... voice-testing, too.

[oftheblackwings]

... so this is the reason why you roused me?

... you are a fool. Do I really look like I'm excited about this? I'd rather that you have left me be.

...

... I suppose the Merines being there is some consolation, but I fail to see just how even that is supposed to make things better even without the fact that you're tossing me into an Orerines-infested world--! 

At least do your duty. I'll be damned if you mess anything up just because you were too lazy to try getting a better grasp of my voice.

You mean you haven't realised the way these muns work yet? The more you complain about something, the more they go out of their way to force it on you. I could know after all this time. [ Wow, Ange. Rude. ]

The most you can do is just keeping quiet and hope they'll give up on you after a while.

[oftheblackwings]

[ this is going to end up in a rude contest, isn't it. Walter regards her with the air of someone scrutinizing a bug to be squashed...

... and as much as he would rather keep quiet and be on his way his mun insists on the interaction. gdit, mun. ]

And if that doesn't work? Even you should know how fickle mundanes are.

Keeping quiet, being loud. It's all the same to these fools.

[entreats]

[ Yup, pretty much. There's going to be rude all over the place before this conversation is over.. and at least Ange is champion of linefaces forever, so despite the look he's giving her, she's just having her usual pokerface. Her tone sounds casual too when she speaks up, just deadpan. ]

If it doesn't work, then it's doesn't work. If neither is going to work, you might as well pick the one that's the least amount of effort and the least bothersome, right? [ ... ] I have to say you're right though, sometimes they just do whatever they want regardless of how you react. Ah, it's useless, it's all useless. [ At least Battler said that with SPIRIT, Ange. ]

[oftheblackwings]

[ wow okay excuse you Ange, this one is as lineface as you can be okok.

He continues to speak with an air of casual indifference towards Ange; his stoic mask of an expression does a lot to hide the potential unease he's feeling about the whole situation. ]

Idiots. All of them.

... makes me wonder why even try reasoning with them.

1 / 2

[entreats]

Isn't that just the nature of humans? They want to try and make themselves understood.

[ Wow, that actually sounded surprisingly deep and not that deadpan-- ]

2 / 2

[entreats]

.. Even if it's to gigantic morons like our muns. [ Welp, there goes that. ]

[oftheblackwings]

Well, they're doing it completely wrong. And I for one don't care or want to understand my mun.

I'd rather die again than be as idiotic as that asinine fool.

[ OUCH, WALTER. Words... :|; ]

[entreats]

He's really been that awful to you, huh?

[oftheblackwings]

Between getting thrashed about in every conceivable manner by his wants, his... ships, and having to listen to his blithering idiocy?

I'd much rather that he left me be.

[kicksmachines]

Awww, c'mon, give you mun a break! At least he's trying right?

[oftheblackwings]

It's either do or don't. Simply trying is as much of a waste as not doing anything at all.

[ Not one to mince words, really. ]

[kicksmachines]

...Good to see that you're the same as always.

[oftheblackwings]

Is that all? Because if so, we're done here.

[ His eyes narrow; good to know that Norma was as infuriating as ever. ]

... though the mundane is not. He... seems enthused to see you.

[ And he visibly winces at the last part; great, that means the most annoying of all wouldn't leave this alone. ]

[kicksmachines]

[Even though Walter's hostile behavior should be an indicator for her to leave, Norma just keeps on smiling through]

Oh? And why is that~?

jakhsgdhjskagdasjd THAT WAS BEAUTIFUL

[oftheblackwings]

[ Walter's neutral, stoic mask belies the sickening in his stomach at seeing that smile. Good job, mun, she's not leaving and this is all your fault. ]

... something about a favorite character, I hardly care enough to ask.

8D

[kicksmachines]

[Can you see Norma's smiling widening? Hope you're prepared, Wally, she's not going to leave for a long while!]

Awww, that's so sweet! Tell him that he gets all the love he can get from me! ...Except you know, not that kind of love.

833333

[oftheblackwings]

[ NORMA WHY DX sob ]

... I'll pass it along.

[ Uuuuuugh. Such an odious duty. It's enough that he feels physically sickened from it.

Except not because he is not going to show any weakness here, dammit, HE HAS HIS PRIDE... ]

[nerifes]

[ oh, this is kind of awkward. ]

I'm sorry, Walter. I can try having a word with mine about yours if you'd really rather not come.

[oftheblackwings]

I doubt that it'd have much of an effect, Merines; don't waste your breath.

[ A pause. ]

... besides, you're already over there, correct? That's... something I can honestly say I look forward to.

[nerifes]

[ Oh. So she's even incapable of helping Walter, is she . . . ]

. . . Really? I don't want you to feel forced just by me being there. Haven . . . isn't the best place for anyone.

Jae water u doin still up...

[oftheblackwings]

So I've been told.

[ Though he doesn't really see how bad it is, considering that nothing's worse than working by yourself almost your whole life... ]

Still... I'm not going to abandon you. I am willing to go wherever you are, even to hell itself if I must.

. . . wow, when did it become 2am

[nerifes]

[ Ahhhhhh— ]

I'd rather you don't, Walter. I don't want you hurt because of me.

[ That comes out as a practical blurt, so she hastily backpedals for a moment. ]

Still . . . thank you.

Just now, actually.

[oftheblackwings]

You're welcome, Merines.

[ There's a soft nod at that; not that he'd admit it out loud or show it, but he was a little happy that the Merines was concerned for him, even though it was already his sworn duty anyway... ]

... how have you been faring? Has your mun been kind to you, at least?

What are /you/ doing up at this hour?

[nerifes]

Yes, she's been very good to me.

[ If you count "not subjecting her to the game's horrors yet" as "very good." ]

I hope that yours will be the same for you.

THINGS. \.D./

[oftheblackwings]

He has been.

[ A muttered curse under his breath in Relares. ]

If only because he hasn't thought that far ahead.
