Mun has been wearing the shipping goggles an awful lot lately

[fortunefail]

What the hell is the matter with you? I understand the Valentine's Day experiment is drawing closer, but that is no excuse for what you're plotting. Not to mention what you're putting me through outside Luceti.

Your behavior is absolutely disgraceful.

There are a few others she ships me with, but not really actively. Besides, at least one of the people you're frequently shipped with isn't Mithos.

[fortunefail]

[Oh, if only Tori knew that there is a tiny bit of Yuan's mun that ships him with Yggdrasill. But Yggdrasill/Kratos gains priority over that one.]

You should be careful around Mithos. He won't hesitate to kill you, should the opportunity arise.

[Not that it means anything in Mafia games, where everyone is forced to kill everyone anyway, but... Well, you know.]

[skirtcladgunner]

[Tori's mun ships that, too. >:D]

...don't you think I know that? [She's aware of it, but who's to say that sometimes she doesn't have a death wish in those games?]

[fortunefail]

No, I don't think you do.

[Having a death wish is one thing, cavorting with Mithos is another thing entirely.]

[skirtcladgunner]

Wow, I didn't know it mattered that much to you. [There's no sarcasm in her voice.]

[fortunefail]

Did you really think I would stand idly by while Mithos destroys more lives?

[Because this is about stopping Mithos and not about protecting Tori. Yup.]

1/2

[skirtcladgunner]

...no, I guess not.

[Trying not to sound disappointed. Even if Yuan did care about her, he wouldn't admit it anyway...] But it's not like he can do much to me in that hellhole of a game, right?

2/2

[skirtcladgunner]

Not that it really matters. I don't have feelings for Mithos.

[And there's the tsun that she has in common with Yuan.]

[fortunefail]

... Right.

[This is Yuan not believing her. Nobody in their right mind would kiss Mithos if they weren't attracted to him.]

[skirtcladgunner]

[It was out of anger, okay?! It meant nothing. Tori can tell Yuan doesn't believe her, too.] I-I really don't! He's obnoxious, arrogant and pissy. I'm already doing better than him.

[fortunefail]

Then, I'll expect you to stay away from him from now on.

[Don't let him catch you kissing Mithos again. He means it.]

[skirtcladgunner]

[Okay, she's totally thrown off by how he said that.] ...are you sure you don't care a lot about this?

[fortunefail]

I'm sure.

[Except that he does. Just a little.]

[skirtcladgunner]

...heh. If you say so, but you almost sounded concerned about my well being. [Wishful thinking?]

[fortunefail]

Don't be foolish.

[skirtcladgunner]

I don't see you going out of your way to warn everyone else about him. [You are the king of mixed signals, Mommy Yuan.]

[fortunefail]

I gave Jeb the same warning I gave you. More than once, if I recall correctly.

[skirtcladgunner]

Oh, did you? I didn't know that... not that it'll matter during that damn event at that place you're both in. [This isn't jealousy, this is worry and anger. Nothing more.]

[fortunefail]

[Sigh.]

Do you need me to try and keep an eye on him? [That is, if he has time and opportunity to do so. Which he probably doesn't, what with the mun's ideas and their aftermath.

Why did he make this offer again?]

[skirtcladgunner]

You'd... do that, Yuan? You'd really try to look after Jeb for me?

[fortunefail]

... I might as well.

[skirtcladgunner]

...

[Tori won't hug you, Yuan. However, she will bury her face into your shoulder to hide the fact that she's in tears.]

[fortunefail]

[............. Ah.

There is a girl crying on his shoulder. Why is there a girl crying on his shoulder? This is not what he intended. In fact, this is the complete opposite of what he intended.

Have an awkward pat on the back.]

[skirtcladgunner]

[Not just crying, Yuan. Sobbing audibly. Which defeats the purpose of hiding her face in his shoulder. After a few moments, she looks up at him. She's still crying, but she's also smiling.]

Thanks, Yuan. I appreciate it.

[fortunefail]

[Why do you keep doing this to him, Tori? Why do you insist on making him feel uncomfortable?]

... Any time.
