Finished Bravely Default and mun is in pain

[mrgrgrgr]

Well, this is hardly fair!

Firstly, I realize I'm from a game, and secondly, you take no time to decide you're going to have me from a canon point where we're still ignorant of even Ringabel's identity, much less Ouroboros and Airy! For what reason? Nothing more but your own satisfaction at 'extensive character development'? Not to mention the kind of places you're thinking of sending me to!

Ones of crime, murder and chaos... what you're doing with me and all your others is nothing more than torture, base and cruel!

[Her hands are clenched, and teeth gnashing like sandpaper.] Mrgrgr...! My blood is boiling just from the thought that people like you exist! If you're going to deport me out of nowhere, have the decency to send me somewhere I'd consider a break!

[Huff huff.]

[ it's not a very good conversational topic, so that's fine with him. ]

I know what you mean, but I don't think it's an option, is it? [ ... ] You could think of it as another world to save. I bet your "pitch as black" list would get a lot of use in a place like that.

[mrgrgrgr]

Another world to save, huh... maybe the people will be better than the place. [Pause.] Or worse.

Yeah, about that thing...? My player's planning on giving me 'character development' so I ditch my 'black and white' view completely. She just doesn't know when to stop!

[simpleness]

[ he's trying awfully hard to look on the bright side here, but edea's not making it easy. ]

Well — if a good person like you ends up there because of a cruel player, there have to be others in the same boat. I think even if you end up ditching the list, you'd still be just the kind of person a world like that needs!

[ ... a warrior of light, if you would — ]

... I mean, I still wouldn't want you to end up there. [ don't get him wrong. ] But if you really don't have any choice, maybe you can make the best of it.

[mrgrgrgr]

I guess so...

[Anger is still clouding her head, but...] Maybe I could form another group of heroes together! I'd hate to be stripped powerless in a world like that, though... but all plans can be stopped.

[Like Ouroboros and Airy!] You're still optimistic as always, Tiz.

[simpleness]

[ that gets a sheepish chuckle out of him, at the least. ]

And you're as quick to anger. [ that's not a bad thing, either! ] I just hope it doesn't get you in trouble, wherever your mun ends up putting you.

[ honestly, even having ringabel around edea would probably worry him less than just leaving edea to her own devices. ]

[mrgrgrgr]

That's-!

[seriously, who are you kidding, edea

when you get pulled from Chap 4 it's just gonna be worse] Well, I get angry for good reason. I'd much rather get into trouble than just sit idly by.

[Recipe for disaster in horror games right here...] I'll be fine, though. After our adventures, I'm pretty sure I can take care of myself.

[simpleness]

Really?

[ he has a pretty good recollection of the entirety of their journey, so he's skeptical. ]

I think if our adventures taught me anything, it was probably like the things you can accomplish when you're working together. [ or trusting your friends, even when they're amnesiacs, or strange women you barely met five minutes ago, or ... ]

The way you stand up for yourself is really incredible, but it might have been really bad if the three of us hadn't been there when you fought Crowe. [ really, though, now tiz is kidding himself. he's going for the typical hand-through-the-hair pose for "that was stupid." ] It probably won't make a difference, but maybe for all our sakes you could try being more careful.

[mrgrgrgr]

[With how skewed her memory is right now, hearing Tiz say that a pretty nice surprise. It's not like she's biased towards Tiz, she's biased towards his wording, and smiles instead of yelling at him, like she would've done to Ringabel if he said the same message in all his grandeur.]

Hey, you've grown more of a backbone now, Tiz! [IS THAT THE FIRST THING YOU SAY, EDEA

really though

he can carry his thoughts a lot better now than she remembers] I guess that is true... but I wouldn't have had it any other way. Tricking and maneuvering my way to victory is just as bad. [Which basically means, she doesn't know when to save her thoughts for a good time.]

[simpleness]

[ WELL ... growing more backbone is still probably much kinder than telling edea she's still rash ...

he is only a little flustered at what he can only assume is a compliment (not that he ever thought he was spineless! he's been doing his best since day one!). ]

Haha, that sounds just like you. [ hmm. ] I guess if it's you, you'll figure something out no matter the circumstances, Edea.

[ he hopes. not that he's hatched any better plans in the heat of battle. ]

[mrgrgrgr]

[In terms of sheer gall, sometimes, your best just doesn't match up to Edea. He'll always be clueless farmer boy in her head, somewhere, never leaving. First impressions last.]

Of course we will! That's what we've been doing all this time, isn't it?

[Seriously though. One farmer boy, one socially awkward Vestal, one amnesia-tropeing skirt-chaser and one hotheaded traitor. How did they live? Even Airy can't have powers like that. It has to be something in the wind, or to do with Tiz, or something.

THAT CELESTIAL DID MORE THAN PROLONG HIS LIFE, IT GAVE HIM PROTAG POWERS]

[simpleness]

[ it would certainly explain why all the other versions of them failed — ]

Right! [ that's a more emphatic nod than his usual wishywashy status. ] Even if we end up separated, there's no way we'd abandon each other, too.

[ castmates are working heavily in his favor here. ]

[mrgrgrgr]

[THAT WAS EVERYTHING BUT OKAY]

Exactly! Not even different worlds! As sappy as it sounds, it's gonna be near impossible for me to erase you guys from my head.

[Unless of course, they get in a permadeath game and a few of them kinda drop dead.

That would be a bit depressing.]
