deciding between ryan's gulch and scorched.

[storychained]

Hah. This again? You don't miss me; you miss the story. And since that's the case, there's an easy solution. You should just play through the game again, revisit our journey. Don't make me go through another one.

No, I'm not bored of this place. It's more peace and quiet than I've had in a long time.

Comments

[mmmmlady]

A little action and excitement ain't always bad, right, madam?

screech

[storychained]

A little, maybe. But I doubt that's what she has in store.

I'm not sorry.

[mmmmlady]

You'll never know unless you go. It's better than sitting around and collecting dust, am I right?

[undergroundtea]

No matter how many times you read, the outcome will never be any different, you know?

WHY WOULD YOU BE?

[storychained]

[ :l ]

Tch. I just said I was fine sitting around, didn't I?

[nolessthanseven]

Hey, last time was kind of fun.

yes good

[storychained]

I think I can live with that.

[storychained]

[ Now, here's someone she actually wants to see. Ange smiles faintly at the comment. ]

I never said it wasn't. But, you know how they are, throwing us into danger. And it's not like I'd have my memories from that place.

BECAUSE THIS WILL BE HORRIBLE

[mmmmlady]

You may say that, but I have a feeling, you just don't want to admit you want out. It's cool, I wouldn't wanna just get dragged around either.

But you gotta take initiative, lady, or you're gonna end up somewhere you hate.

[nolessthanseven]

Yeah, I didn't get my memories either. Probably for the best. Can you imagine what a mess that would be?

And besides, the danger is sort of fun.

LIAR??

[storychained]

Huh. You weaseled your way out of a new game, then?

... Hm. You might have a point. If she's going to send me somewhere either way, I could figure out which is the lesser of two evils.

heheh there were too many options, but this was the worst

[undergroundtea]

You don't have some delusion of your family coming back to you anymore...?

[storychained]

I think so. [ Confusing, for one thing. ]

Hmph. That's relative. [ She's still smiling, though. ]

everything involving this man is horrible

[mmmmlady]

See? That's just how ya gotta think about it. Lucky for me, my mun's a pretty chill guy. He can't handle more than a couple of games, he's not that motivated. But your lady's looking to be just as stubborn as you are.

Wanna jump out of another third story window? It might get you out of this.

[nolessthanseven]

I mean, I'd be looking around for people, and then I'd find them, and they wouldn't be the ones I knew, and- [she just rolls her eyes.] A mess.

Well, yeah. But still. I'm never bored.

you mean best though right

[storychained]

[ Screw you, auntie. That totally happens. ]

Anyway, any terrible fate of mine beats out being you. I'm thankful not to have that misery.

hush

[storychained]

You're right about that. [ Ignoring the crack about herself, though. ] She's childish. Irresponsible. Can't handle things, but adds more to her plate.

[ Okay, yeah. Glaring. ]

Ha, ha. Keep the jokes to your personality.

[storychained]

That's how it'll be if I come to that place of yours, though. [ She frowns. ] I don't like it-- any of it. But, I don't seem to have much of a choice.

[nolessthanseven]

Anatole's actually sort of nice, you know. Cute clothes.

[mmmmlady]

[ My my, lady, why are you describing yourself so~? ]

If she had a nicer bod, I bet she could pass as your clone, at this rate. [ Okay, okay, joking aside. ]

So, which of the two is the lesser evil in this case, milady?

[storychained]

Cut it out, Amakusa. [ Roooolling her eyes at you, bro. ]

I haven't decided yet. They're both bizarre environments, filled with danger. Of course. And one of them has that witch, Bernkastel.

[ Which is a con, for Ange. Not a pro. ]

[storychained]

... You would say that, first thing.

but of course, best and worst are one in the same in both Umineko and RP

[undergroundtea]

[Oh, changing the subject, huh. She was building up to something here, rude, Ange!!]

...Hmm? Are you recognising my hardship?

[mmmmlady]

Hmmm...don't know her, but staying away from her would be a plus, I'm guessing. In that case, just pick the other one.

[nolessthanseven]

Well, yeah. I've got my priorities sorted out.

[cruelest]

If you have no preference, then why don't you just have her flip a coin?

[storychained]

I think that's what she's leaning toward. We'll see.

... And mostly in Umineko.

[storychained]

[ Rude is her middle name okay ]

No. Just recognizing that you're a miserable person.

[storychained]

That's what that was?

[storychained]

Doesn't seem like she likes leaving things to chance.

[nolessthanseven]

What what-that was?

[storychained]

Cute clothes. They're priorities?

[nolessthanseven]

Of course they are. I can't not look good.

[mmmmlady]

I could always come with you, lady.

[cruelest]

But from your viewpoint, she might as well be doing that, right? It's not like they're both pleasant places to spend the time.

Yuup, basically...

[undergroundtea]

My, such a thing to say to your dear aunt...did your mother teach your to speak that way?

[storychained]

That's your job, isn't it?

[storychained]

[ Don't you even talk about Kyrie. ]

Guess it just runs in the family. Oh, well.

[storychained]

Yeah, yeah. [ OH U ] Whatever you say.

[storychained]

That's true. [ Stop being right, Bern. ] Still. She won't take my viewpoint into account.

[nolessthanseven]

Hey! You know I'm right.

[cruelest]

[ no, never. ]

You could try putting forth a little more effort. To mundanes, [ and witches ] a lackluster refusal is almost the same as assent.
