DLC madness.

[unluckyprince]

Mundane, I implore you, please at least attempt to get some sleep. A good tactician cannot function properly without it, and though I know it is a 'game', those are people's lives you're risking!

Whatever you were hoping to achieve through this foolishness can wait until after you've had proper rest.

What do you mean, 'I need all of the Marth'? You're no longer making sense... Just go to sleep. Please.

[aetherial]

... All of the Marth?

[What is this sorcery.

Poor Ike's unaware of the meaning. Meanwhile, his Mun is almost falling off the chair with laughter.]

[unluckyprince]

Despite my greatest efforts, I cannot for the life of me decipher what she means. To my knowledge, there's only one of me... At least, I would hope so.

[MISSION ACCOMPLISHED, then!]

[aetherial]

I wouldn't worry much about it. You know how Muns are: they speak in strange code and laugh to themselves, and we're none the wiser.

[He shrugs. Because he hasn't yet heard of Paris and the multiple Ikes, himself.]

But it's harmless.

[unluckyprince]

You bring up an excellent point. [Marth chuckles lightly. he's yet to see the other 'Marth' with his own eyes...] I don't know why I was worrying so. It's likely just a joke, hm?

[Mun. Stop that giggling, it's creepy.]

[aetherial]

Probably a joke. But it's also in your nature to worry.

[He has to bite down on his tongue to keep from stretching his grin even further. Other Marth? You mean the very skinny one with the domino mask? Kee kee.]

[unluckyprince]

... I--

[He perks a brow, smile turning a shade sheepish. He doesn't worry that much, does he?! Aye, the very... same. What's that giggling]

[aetherial]

[Now he's just grinning. Broadly.]

You...?

[The giggling probably hails from the same source as the cackling heard on his end.]

[unluckyprince]

I'm not that bad, am I?

[Oh no now he's going to worry about that too. SEE WHAT YOU'VE DONE.]

[aetherial]

I wouldn't say you're a worry wart...

[There's a but coming. You know that, right?]

...you do, ah, fret. It's not necessarily a bad thing.

[unluckyprince]

[He could feel that one coming. It's not as bad as it could have been! ...But still rather embarrassing.]

Is that what it comes off as? Fretting?

I never really thought of it like that...

[aetherial]

Well...

[He squints a little.]

It's more like you show a really strong level of concern.

[There. Is that better?]

[unluckyprince]

Ah. Yes, that makes more sense. [He nods in agreement.]

But then... Normally, I have to be sure that everyone makes it through the day safely and secure a victory... I'll admit it's not the most realistic goal given most circumstances, but... it's important to me. It demands such levels.

...I suppose that's just worked it's way into my everyday dealings.

[aetherial]

Mmhm.

[Marth's goals aren't unrealistic for them. As leader of their respective armies, no matter the size, it's actually expected of them, isn't it? Ike thinks so.]

Still. Try not to let too much of what you do on the battlefield blend in with what you do everyday. Otherwise, you'll get sick...

[Or something. Ahem. Does it sound like Ike's been on the receiving end of such words yet?]

[unluckyprince]

[In retrospect, he probably didn't have to explain himself to Ike, of all people... and the following comment earns a smile.]

You as well, hm?

[aetherial]

Of course. Always.

[twilightlegend]

[awkwardly;] ... Mun decided to make the tactician in my image...

I hope I can be of help.

[though he's immensely unsettled by how the mun cackles whenever she plays...]

[unluckyprince]

So I've heard. I'm sure you'd make an excellent tactician, Link! You've a very good head on your shoulders.

[Considering the amount of times Link has saved his skin, after all!! And it's always good to know he's not alone on the cackling-muns front...]

[twilightlegend]

[a quiet laugh... Before he shakes his head] I've never directed an army...! It's... very different from fighting alone.

[he has to consider so much! It's overwhelming to think about it yet defending an entire kingdom on his own isn't?]

[unluckyprince]

I must say I know how you feel by now, coming from the opposite end of things. [He smiles warmly.] I believe you can do it, though. You're certainly more than capable, my friend.

[And the tales of Expert Mode are quite impressive as well because mun is a scaredy weenie who dies on normal mode anyway by the gods]

[twilightlegend]

... [a (slightly clumsy still) bow) Thank you. I hope I don't disappoint.

[Hero Mode in Skyward Sword, Hard Mode in Awakening... Link's not sure if all these difficulty increases are good for one's health! Ha ha...]

[unluckyprince]

[No need to bow to him, goodness;; he's used to this sort of behavior, but coming from Link... it seems a bit unnecessary? He pats Link's shoulder gently, still smiling.]

Worry not!

I'm rather looking forward to your strategic input, Tactician. My blade is yours to command.

[He seems quite amused at the role-reversal. It's a lot of responsibility... but remember to take it easy once in a while, Link!]

[twilightlegend]

[Ah-!! There's so much to learn though and Marth has much more experience with commanding armies than Link, who is used to moving on his own and fending for himself...]

...

[he looks away in embarrassment. Oh look, even the tips of his ears are red]

[unluckyprince]

[This guy's ears are still ADORABLE FASCINATING. WOW~

He feels a little guilty for teasing, but he meant only the best. The jesting's out of his voice for the most part, now.]

...And if you're ever in need of help, I'll be close at hand.

[twilightlegend]

[and his ears perk up!]

... I'll do what I can to not disappoint, Prince Marth.

[unluckyprince]

All this talk of disappointment, Link. I insist, you do quite the opposite! [And laughing again. Link you are so silly.]

[twilightlegend]

If you saw how my mun is playing... [you would see why he felt he needed to apologize like he is. sob]

[unluckyprince]

Let's not talk about how our muns are playing.

[That poor, poor Donnell boy...]

[twilightlegend]

Perhaps they're simply... out of practice? They have been playing Sonic, Pit and that other boy's games for a while...

[HOW DO CLEVER STRATEGY WHY FOR HARDMODE and wow, Donny was crap]

[unluckyprince]

Yes, perhaps they're just... switching gears.

[THIS IS NOT SPAAAACE CHANNEL 5 but good god imagine the possibilities if we could just get him to go UP A LEVEL. Goddamn.]

[twilightlegend]

[he nods solemnly... 'Switching gears' sounds like the right description] I suppose we can only hope for the best

[I COULD GIVE HIS LANCE AND VULNERARY TO A UNIT I COULD'VE ACTUALLY USED FOR ONE]

[firstisthebest]

All of the Marth?

...that doesn't sound too healthy for some reason, Lord Marth.

[unluckyprince]

N-no, Est, it certainly doesn't. However, my well-being is firmly in their hands...
