trying to decide on a second game

[circumitus]

Make up your mind, will you?

Am getting sick of your indecision and flopping around. Trying to think of another place to go can't be that hard. Doubt that you'll even pick a place that's actually nice for a change -- not that it would be really well-deserved, at any rate.


...You're an asshole, either way. You still haven't even changed this journal's name back. "Reybama", seriously?

Well, you did kind of feed the guy to the room and doom us all.

[ Thanks, Reybama. ]

[circumitus]

[For fuck's sake THAT WAS ONE TIME! You feed a guy to the evil room ONE TIME and no one ever lets you live it down. ]

To be fair, we were pretty doomed from the start.

[Not that it helps her sleep better.]

[50000volts]

[ Look, most people have even forgiven you for that by now! Hell, most people weren't even mad about it in the first place! How cool is that?? ]

Where's the lie?

'Least you didn't decide to go all Stockholm Syndrome like some of us.

[ I.e. her. ]

Silver lining?

[circumitus]

[Pretty dang cool, even if Rey doesn't even entirely understand it. Like, at all. What the hell is wrong with people?]

There is that. [Nothing would be worse than being compelled to actually side with the shadow thing living inside a crazy spaceship. Fuck that noise.]

Suppose there are worse places we could've ended up.

[abweichend]

Someplace nice is asking too much, if there are any out there at all.

[Which he doesn't believe for a second. THE NICE IS A LIE]

[circumitus]

It seems there are some that do exist out there, but evidently they're not "interesting" enough. Of course.

[What more can you expect.]

[abweichend]

[Levi scowls. Aggressively.]

I guess it wouldn't be. No fun if they can't make us dance.

[You're as bad as the Trumps, muns. Maybe even worse.]

I'm assuming the Tranquility is just as shitty as it was when I left...?

[Aka how are you doing Rey he gives a few fucks......]

[circumitus]

[Isn't "aggressive scowl" pretty much Levi's default expression already, fucks or no fucks?]

More or less.

[Oh, and. Yeah. Good question. Not going to be awkward about this at all.]

...

Well...

Might've contributed to the fact that the ship is now a crashed heap of barely functional and hazardous scrap metal on an alien planet, so... Yes and no?

[element_wizard]

I believe the big problem we have here is the fact you're using the word 'mind' in regards to muns and assuming they have one.

[circumitus]

Perhaps that's why they rely on us to do the thinking for them, on top of having nothing better to do with their lives. Ape-dicks.

[eyelander]

Bloody muns, not bein' able to make up their minds for even a second. That's when ye got to take matters into yer own hands, lass.

[circumitus]

Have already lost a few fingers due to this one getting bored. Wouldn't be surprised if the whole hand is next, just to make that phrase ironic.

[eyelander]

Aye, idle hands and all. What ye ought to do, missy, is tell yer mundane that you're not havin' it anymore.

[circumitus]

Has that ever worked in the history of-- whenever people started doing this?

[eyelander]

I can't say I've heard of a time it did. Yer other choices aren't much better now, are they?

[circumitus]

Not really. Will have spent four years in the current place as of next month, and she makes a point in making things as difficult as possible in those-- [ergh] --those books that she's been writing. Am pretty fucked, either way.

You'd think it would be boring by now, but no. Suppose not.

[eyelander]

Ye know, lass - some people just like to watch ye squirm about, seein' what you'll do when the goin' gets tough.

What does she have you do in these books?

[circumitus]

Suppose they think it makes up for the lack of whatever they have going on in their sorry lives.

Killed people, mostly.

...

A lot of people.

[eyelander]

You a mercenary?

[circumitus]

Soldier.

Well, soldiers, technically. Had the annoying tendency of dying only to be brought back as different people. Am more or less a jumbled mess of all of them, now. Probably.

[eyelander]

Sounds even worse than bein' a ghost. How're you suppose to know which one you are?

[circumitus]

Hard to say. Perhaps a little bit of all of them. Us. Whatever.

[maycare]

Perhaps she finds you amusingly blamable. Regardless, nicknames are usually signs of affection, aren't they?

holy crap, and here i've been having angel sanctuary nostalgia lately, too

[circumitus]

Doesn't sound entirely implausible -- not all of that blame is without good reason.

Think it's less about affection and more about being the subject of a terrible joke, though.

it is kind of a nostalgia bomb

[maycare]

Good reason? Do you really think the one pointing that finger cares about your reasons for the actions they ascribe blame to?

Or humor, for that matter.

it is. i feel like rereading the manga sometime after watching that hilariously bad anime dub.

[circumitus]

No, not really. Depending on how you look at it, suppose it could actually be considered an improvement from the way things used to be. Wasn't even intended to live long enough to be "honored" with such blame.

i've never mustered the courage to watch the dub myself, so i can only imagine

[maycare]

So they expect gratitude for a stayed hand and their continued attention, I take it? A generous creator, indeed. You ought to count your blessings.

[/sarcasm]

the animation is so awkward it doesn't matter what language you're watching it in, haha.

[circumitus]

Oh yes, so generous. May even be given a bone for good behavior if fortune smiles.

Better than a steamroller.
