in attempts to kill a muse

[particularity]

...Eh?

No, I get what you're trying to do, but why are you saying "by January or bust" all of a sudden?! [Because of your canon update in January, Hinata, your canon update.] H...how is that even an explanation for why... Furthermore, why are you wanting to do all of those things to me then.

[Christmas and New Years plus your birthday... There're lots of things that need celebrating, and these are the best ways.]

No... No, I'd be just fine without the dying. [What's with your idea of celebrating...] You can quit saying that you're shocked I lived "this long", too.

And I'm not going to help you come up with a way! What do I look like to you?!

[...]

If you can't come up with anything, that's fine! Stop gunning for me, already...!

[bearfaced]

Now you shouldn't just tell them. That would ruin the surprise!

[particularity]

Nobody asked for your input!

[bearfaced]

Isn't that what makes me such a generous bear though?

You don't even need to ask!

[particularity]

We don't need that kind of generosity from you...

[bearfaced]

I would beg to differ! Your lack of murder disturbs me.

[particularity]

A lack of murder is just fine... The only one who thinks that there should be an excess of it is you.

[bearfaced]

Oh-ho? Then what in tarnation was all that "stop gunning for me" stuff about then?

[particularity]

This and that are different.

[bearfaced]

If it walks like a murderer, and it sounds like a murderer, and savagely impales someone like a murderer...

[particularity]

No-one's been savagely impaled!

[...yet.]

[bearfaced]

Upupupu~! No need to fret, I'm just a silly old bear throwing out suggestions!

[particularity]

Just keep them to yourself, already. I don't need you giving anyone ideas.

[bearfaced]

Awwww, Hinata... but what kind of headmaster would I be if I didn't help my students fulfil their dreams?

[lullabytes]

[ .......................... ]

That's...a little troubling, Hinata-kun...Playing in order to die, isn't that an odd way to game?

[ You'd waste your extra lives super fast, and if there isn't a pay off...

...Nanami, it's not that sort of game. ]

[particularity]

[Oh, Nanami--]

It's more than just a little troubling, I think... It's not the kind of game I want to be involved with.

[Not with his life being the one on the line. Hinata's a buzzkill.]

[lullabytes]

Then you should play a different one.

[ Super useful advice, right. ]

Something like dying...why do people find that fun?

[particularity]

It's not my dream!

[particularity]

I wish I could. But it's a little hard to change to a different one.

[All his life has to be horror, apparently.]

You know, I've been asking myself that question more and more lately. I don't think I'm going to understand it no matter what.

[bloodandblunder]

Isn't surviving a good thing...? Why would she want to change that?

[particularity]

Because I've "had it too easy"... Or something like that?

[lullabytes]

I guess it's not as easy as exchanging a cartridge...

[ Really, there's no way out of your eventual death, here, Hinata-kun. ]

...It can't really be called a game if it isn't fun, though.

[bloodandblunder]

... Well, you had an easier time during the kidnapping than I did-- but I think you've had it plenty hard just being in Haven in the first place!

[particularity]

[If only he could change genres... and don't say that even in brackets, it's depressing. :'(]

And you'd know the most about games, right, Nanami?

It should be called something else, instead.

[particularity]

Like all of us have, right...?

But, I don't think that argument works on her. I suppose at least if she can't think of anything, she won't try to kill me.

[bloodandblunder]

G-good! Then I should... try to think up a hex to give her difficulty... I'm sure I can do it this time!
