Mun got a little...sidetracked during her canon review.

[misplacedxsheath]

The fact that my card was among the first you acquired in that absurd waste of time you call a mini-game does not imply that I approve of your diversion. You ought to be well aware of my opinion regarding such frivolous pursuits while you have a goal in mind. And yet you're sitting there playing that ridiculous card game instead of continuing with the storyline anyway. It's a pity I can't turn you over to Lieutenant Commander Vanderkam for some...attitude readjustment. But that's not an option for multiple reasons, so get back to the task at hand before I start thinking up alternatives.

Kukai...

*This is a 'warning tone' in the way a rattlesnake gives a 'warning rattle'. He is not in the mood to deal with you right now.*

[Snork, ok ok he's trying]

Just think of this as a...training battle. A tactical sim if you'd like.

[misplacedxsheath]

This simplistic excuse for a strategy exercise? The only point I'll give it is that she does need more experience compensating for an unfavorable situation.

[namedforcat]

It could be worse. So just be grateful she's doing this instead of watching your death scene over and over.

[misplacedxsheath]

Fortunately, she's at least resolved to do this linearly rather than skipping around. Probably due in part to the fact that she can't remember all of the scenes I make appearances in and partly because she seems to have some sort of plan for the cyborg and intends to review for him as well.

[namedforcat]

Poor Ziggy, he's getting too old for these kinds of shenanigans. Plus he'd get worried about MOMO.

[misplacedxsheath]

From the details she's deigned to mention, it won't remove him from his world or subject him to contrived "events". It's some manner of closed storyline, but I personally haven't cared to investigate further.

[namedforcat]

I wonder if she's found someone with a Juli or MOMO...

At any rate, leave your poor mun alone about the card game. While she's occupied with this, she doesn't have time to actively annoy you.

[misplacedxsheath]

She says it's some sort of kindred spirit. Your own mun might know more about it than I do.

And clearly she still has some attention to spare in irritating me, as she went to the effort of ensuring you would see this after being so informative as to how she was faring in using my card in this game.

[namedforcat]

Maybe, she's not saying anything however.

Well, I suppose so. But you are rather easily irritated so it's no hardship for her to divert a little attention for doing so.

[misplacedxsheath]

I'm hardly surprised.

It's no hardship until I get fed up and decide to give her a taste of the headaches she causes me.

[namedforcat]

Why don't you spare both of you that little war of attrition and just play the game with her. It would be a good bonding exorcise.

[misplacedxsheath]

Bonding? With her? When she was the one who tore me from my rest, deprived me of my hard earned abilities and dropped me in a world that seems to delight in attacking old wounds? If you honestly think that would happen, you really are a fool.

[namedforcat]

She's given you a new challenge.

[misplacedxsheath]

If that were her reasoning, I might be more inclined to fogive her for the intrusion upon my death. But her intentions were hardly that cognizent of my desires.

[truthsnomiracle]

I find myself remarkably grateful that no such diversions exist within my own canon.

[misplacedxsheath]

There are certain reasons to envy those from straightforward canons, yes. Mine unfortunately suffers from an abundance of pointless detours that only provide a miniscule reward relevant to the main content, if that.

[truthsnomiracle]

The primary diversion within my own is simply to interact with everything irrelevant object possible and take every conceivable wrong turn. Fortunately, many such detours are relevant for the purpose of canon review.

[swordofmiltia]

Come now, Colonel. A little fun never hurt anyone.

[misplacedxsheath]

Those aspects are present in mine as well, but I'm willing to forgive those for the same reason you've already stated. Even talking to the thoughtless masses has its importance, given the vast difference in culture between my world and her own. This, however, probably doesn't even exist in-universe, since a large amount of meta information is integral in its design.

[misplacedxsheath]

She's wasting time when she's already admitted to herself that she should have done this when she initially decided to send me somewhere for the first time. She's already noticed some details that have forced her to alter her theories with regards to my past, so the logical assumption would be that she should continue on in the hopes that she catches any more such oversights before they become an issue.

[truthsnomiracle]

My condolences.

I see that your relations with Mr. Kukai have improved even in my absence.

[misplacedxsheath]

To a certain deree. I still wouldn't claim to be on good terms, but we've come to something of an understanding and have agreed to make an attempt at putting our political history behind us.

[truthsnomiracle]

Excellent. Has a new investigation begun, or are the kidnappees still more concerned with diversions themselves?
