canon is devil survivor, mun is revisting the game and being sad

[bel_ofman]

[Your mun has gotten really annoying lately.]

Calm down. You're exaggerating; things aren't that bad.

......

[Sigh.]

[She doesn't seem to be listening to you.]

[You decide to let it go and try to ignore her.]

Comments

what are canon points? idk not chaos end probably

[righteousfool]

Trying to defuse the situation like usual, huh? Looks like you haven't changed.

oh god this is gonna suck

[bel_ofman]

--Keisuke?

[Oh shi--]

[You suddenly feel extremely awkward.]

....I guess so.

you say this like you didn't expect me to make everything i touch suck

[righteousfool]

_{[Neko is pretty difficult to read on a good day, so that awkward is unnoticed for now.]}

Just guess?

_{[c'mon, have a little more conviction]}

i can hope ok

[bel_ofman]

I never really thought about it.

[Conviction was more Atsuro and Keisuke's thing, really.]

[righteousfool]

It makes sense. If something's part of your nature, it won't take any thought.

_{[Look see this is a good mood. Which probably makes things more awkward.]}

[bel_ofman]

[Yeah, you basically are not sure how to proceed with this conversation at all.

You decide to change the subject.]

How have you been?

okay yeah going with early day 6 for canon point

[righteousfool]

_{[--which means he's retroactively had a '0' over his head for this conversation.]}

Me? I've been fine. _{[Which is Lockdown-ese for 'I'm not actively dying at this moment.']}

wow you're horrible

[bel_ofman]

[You almost forgot about death clocks. You've probably gotten a bit too used to seeing numbers.

But wait, Keisuke still has one?]

...Be careful.

:3c

[righteousfool]

Of course. Can't afford not to be.

_{[There are a myriad of reasons he could be getting told to be careful - but it was best to go with the simple answer considering the speaker, right? Just another warning about what they were going to face at 18:00.]}

[bel_ofman]

What's the last thing you remember?

[You decide caution is dumb.]

[righteousfool]

...

_{[That's an odd question. But sure, he'll answer.]}

It was still early in the morning, on... _{[Six? ..yeah, it's been six, very, long days--]} ..the sixth day of the lockdown. ...Honestly, I was still waking up.

[bel_ofman]

[Day Six.

You suddenly don't feel so good.]

...I see.

That's Belial, right?

this is his feelings

[atsubro]

[HELLO D_M ATSURO AM IN THIS THREAD
AND HE IS LOOKING SO PANICKED AND ALSO MY SPAZ IS UNLEASHED?

ooooh keisuke stresses oooooh
lets do this thing

YEP, AND ATSURO WILL LEAVE MY FEELINGS ON

meanwhile in six threads of this event

EMOTIONS RUPTURING.

COMPS EXPLODING.

IT WAS AWFUL.

the end.]

[bel_ofman]

[YOU WOULD REALLY LIKE IT IF ATSURO LEFT OH MY GOD HE IS SO EMBARRASSING.]

[righteousfool]

Right.

<sub>[Woah, hi, Atsuro, didn't see you the--

uh

bro are you okay]</sub>

..Atsuro, is something wrong?

[atsubro]

[What are you guys talking about.

Atsuro. Is. Perfectly. Fine.]

N-no! Nothing! Nothing at all! Just, uh...

[NEKO HELP]

[bel_ofman]

[Your best friend is a dumbass.]

He probably just stayed up too late.

[righteousfool]

_{[..okay Keisuke likes to think he's pretty perceptive though he's been questioning his own judgment a lot lately ahahahahahahahahahaha so, this is just too obvious to let go]}

If there's something up, I'd like to know.

[atsubro]

[Okay Atsuro, you can do this...you can...do...this...]

I'm just tired, I guess. I didn't get much sleep, and...uh, well with 18:00...

[DID HE DO GOOD HE IS NOT GOOD AT LYING OKAY]

Horrible time to get insomnia, huh?

[bel_ofman]

[You are going to kill your best friend.]

Like I said before, things aren't that bad.

[You really hope he buys it.]

[righteousfool]

_{[Both of you get stared at for a bit, before he shakes his head, seemingly to clear it.]}

..Alright. It's not like we have the best sleeping conditions in the world, anyway.

_{[That is the sound of Keisuke Takagi not calling you on your bullshit.]}

[twiceinhabited]

What's wrong?

[bel_ofman]

[Oh this place was just full of surprises.]

Nothing, really.

[twiceinhabited]

If you're sure, Eishu.

[She don't know why her mun picked her over the others. Won't Atsuro be a better choice here? But it's one of him, so she won't complain. unless you go with naoya's inhumane route then there's bitching]

Are you well?

[bel_ofman]

[Let's not talk about Naoya's inhumane route, OK. For now he's at least gonna stretch for a smile.]

Could be worse.

[twiceinhabited]

[yeah let's because wow, mc]

It could be... But I'm glad you're fine.

you're welcome for this geeeeeeeeezzzzzz

[shiningleporis]

[You're not sure why you're being told to post here- maybe your mun is as bad as hers? But at least you get to say something! Better make it count!

> Hello.
> Stare vacantly
> Raiiiiiiiinbooooooooooow!]

...

[No, not that. That would be just silly.]

Are you...both better, now?

oh boy oh boy oh boy

[bel_ofman]

[You have a feeling your protagonist successor is being very silly.]

Nothing was really wrong to begin with. But I think she's calmed down.

Re: oh boy oh boy oh boy

[shiningleporis]

[You have a feeling your withheld amusement was noticed by your predecessor.]

Okay.

[Well, now you just feel foolish.]

...that's good! You seem like you have a lot on your shoulders.

[bel_ofman]

[Sighs. So much sighing.]

It's not that bad. Like I said, they're exaggerating.

[shiningleporis]

[Your eye seems to be glowing are you okay ]

...I dunno. I've been saying that a lot lately, too.

[Wait.]

The 'not that bad' part, I mean.

[bel_ofman]

[Don't worry that happens]

I solved the problem, so there's not that much to worry about.

[And a beat.] I hope you find a good answer though.

[shiningleporis]

[Wait mine won't do that right???]

I think I've found the answer. Or, I hope I picked right...

[This wasn't a time to be wishywashy with language. You chose your wish, and you've been fighting for it, damnit!]

No. I did. I know I did.

[Doesn't mean you're still not scared, of course.]

[bel_ofman]

[Not unless you become some kind of demon lord or something]

[You smile and nod. After all, it wasn't that long ago where you had to do the same.]

Good. I'm glad.

And don't worry. It'll work out.

[shiningleporis]

[He's deciding the fate of the entire planet, can he at least glow for a little while?]

I hope. My comrades, we're not all agreeing on what to do.

[You decide to be more blunt.]

Okay, none of them agreed with me...but I can't give up. I have to go with what I believe in.

[bel_ofman]

[You'll probably get some cool power aura or something.]

Even friends argue. [You've argued with Atsuro plenty of times.]

If you believe in your choice, you can keep them safe. That's what's important.
