on event shenanigans at a certain Tower...

[pitiedthefool]

No.

I know your back is against the wall on this one, but I am not subjecting the others to the horrors you and the 'mods' have concocted. Especially now that Nanako is...

[He trails off with a sigh, not amused in the least.]

...I can resist for a week, right? That will give us enough time to figure out what to do.

...You can stop watching that part of the anime, too.

[Seriously mun, he feels bad for his anime counterpart getting stabbed in the chest via Izanagi enough as it is. Do not need the reminder of that his future will be like.
> Though maybe you should thank her for ending the Geass effect, too...]

[detecting]

[The prospect of Yu being subjected to further horror is awful enough as it is, but now that Nanako's there...]

It will be alright, senpai. No one will let any harm come to Nanako-chan.

[doublechecks]

You might as well give up on pleading to your mundane.

[And here's a disgruntled voice twinny]

I've tried.

[pitiedthefool]

I know. ...Thank you, Naoto-kun.

[And he means it. If anything were to happen to her, or to his friends that haven't been corrupted, yet... he'd likely never forgive himself.]

[pitiedthefool]

She's usually more reasonable than this.

[You poor, unfortunate soul, twin- Izanagi no, stop that. The gold star got old the last time when we were playing Halo.]

[detecting]

How is she doing? I've yet to meet her in the tower.

...I'm mean.

[justiceinheaven]

Onii-chan? What's going on?

[pitiedthefool]

Remarkably well so far, but... she's in a costume, too.

[Three guesses why he doesn't make the quota...]

[attheclocktower]

[...

She hopes his isn't too bad except the way her mun seems to be thinking, it is.]

I'm sorry.

[It's not her fault but she still feels bad. She just.. hopes she won't make it worse somehow. The fact that she's dying today is also weighing pretty heavily on her.]

oh my god whhhhhy ;A;

[pitiedthefool]

[asdfghjkl; nooooooooo- muns, why. No. No, he does not want to explain to his little sister why he has to-]

[pitiedthefool]

... She's making me go away for a few days. [Not going to fully lie about it, but... how could he admit that they're turning him into a monster-?]

[pitiedthefool]

[... He heard about that. This is probably why she gets a hand on her shoulder.]

No. I'm sorry I couldn't help you and won't be able to stay myself for much longer.

[All of his fears, and his inability to help his friends...]

[attheclocktower]

[Xion shakes her head.]

Don't... feel bad about me. It was going to happen, no matter what.

[Her mun had basically said as much. Somehow or another. If not from the event then from something else]

We won't even know why. My mun... she says some of the candy I'm getting is fake.

[So she'll think she have enough yet know it isn't. She's okay, she'll be okay. She just... she's worried more about Shion, who'll be there, and what happens tomorrow, and afterwards...]

[pitiedthefool]

... Same here. [When it comes to dying, anyway.] I have to, otherwise I won't be free of this other curse.

['I just wish she could have waited a little longer.']

Getting it from someone else?

[Because if so, then rude much? :|a]

[detecting]

She's... she's what?

[TOWER HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO A LITTLE GIRL? HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO NANAKO? TOWER IF YOU HAD A FACE, SHE WOULD PUNCH IT.]

[sigh.]

I take it that's the reason you won't be meeting your quota.

[pitiedthefool]

They dressed her up as Loveline.

[HE HAS NO IDEA BUT IF HE COULD HE WOULD LIKELY USE A COMBINATION OF HEAT RISER + MIND CHARGE + MEGIDOLAON ON RUANA HOW COULD THEY EVEN ASDJKASDJ.]

[Okay yeah, staying as calm as possible...]

Right.

[doublechecks]

Likewise.

Didn't stop him persuading Nunnally's controller to have her die.

[Never forgiving him for that one, nope.]

[changeisgood]

Haaa. Haha. What is it with you humans and your sentimental pleading that you're all so quick to do in such times?

[princeofchariots]

I may not know all that's going on, but we'll make sure nothing happens to Nanako-chan!

[You know she'll take those monsters head on, Yu.]

[deceitfulclown]

[Just gonna laugh at you really hard right now.]

[justiceinheaven]

But...

[What, this... this wasn't fair...]

I thought she was happy we were together. Why would she take you away?

[idol_support]

I'll do my best to keep Nanako-chan safe, Senpai! I can't fight to protect her like the rest of you could, but Kanzeon and I can find candy for her, and make sure we avoid monsters!

[pitiedthefool]

[. . .]

[Heat Riser, check...]

[Mind Charge, check...]

...

[> CAST. MEGIDOLAON.]

[deceitfulclown]

[Team Rocket Adachi is blasting off!]

[A few minutes later, he returns looking quite singed.]

Oh come on. You know it doesn't change much. People just shuffle along like sheep anyway.

[risingshepard]

Hey, I'm in the same room as your cousin. There's nothing to worry about.

[She's holding her Revenant now. Oh boy...looks like she's going hunting for next week.]

If anything bad happens, it won't be to her.

[pitiedthefool]

Must be Halloween coming up. I know mine's been cackling a little more than usual...

[Welcome to the club. Have a jacket.]
