[episode 4]

[stars_struck]

... I should start getting paid to put up with this job.

Comments

[whatstrength]

Would some irreverent respect and a cool title do instead, Miss Defender of peace, justice, love and high school girl's feelings?

[stars_struck]

... it might be a start.

[whatstrength]

You got it.

[stars_struck]

[gluuummm]

I'm just waiting for you to go all cog-eyed, then it really will be all sanity lost...

[whatstrength]

Yeah, about that. It wouldn't be me technically but advanced warning is needed, I guess. So there you go.

[stars_struck]

[abrupt] I want a holiday, too.

[whatstrength]

[Doesn't like it anymore than you.] I'm with you there. And not a week long one either. Like two weeks-- no, a month, minimum!

All that effort put into avoiding this kind of things deserves no less.

[stars_struck]

Maybe... you'll get some closure out of it. [haha yeah right]

[whatstrength]

I think you mean that for that version of me. I'm fine with how I am right now. [pfft yeah do they really believe these things they say?]

[stars_struck]

[one person clearly doesn't]

... mm. Did you talk with Strength?

[whatstrength]

[she's fineee. STR hasn't gone on any rampages or anything because of her dammit]

Yep, just recently! We were throwing around the idea of testing the connection but haven't considered trying it yet.

[stars_struck]

[... blink]

Mm. Let me know if you do.

[whatstrength]

Sure thing. I think you'd know if something went wrong though.

[stars_struck]

... moral support?

[whatstrength]

Worried about Murphy's Law coming down on us, Shooter?

[stars_struck]

Just worried, in general. You're still important.

[whatstrength]

[ow. right in the feelings.]

Well, thanks. But I'll be fine. We should be more worried about those guys from this show. They're definitely way more threatening than me.

[stars_struck]

Mm. I'm keeping an eye out. Even our Saw looks tame by comparison.

[whatstrength]

Really? I guess "Saya-chan-sensei" really did a number on the one in the show.

Though I haven't seen the Saw we know actually do anything either.

[hugmyscythe]

The fight itselfis its own reward.[ ....although, it's hard to describe the sinking feeling in her stomach about all of this. like something's bound to go wrong in the next episode. not that she'll readily express this. ]

[stars_struck]

This version of me doesn't even dodge anything...

[hugmyscythe]

Perhaps avoidance of attacksis simply not needed.[ considering how, you know, they simply get right back up and continue fighting. not even scratched or bruised. ]

[stars_struck]

[SINKING FEELING]

... or Mato's too stupid to do any different. . .

[hugmyscythe]

Only fools underestimate idiots.

[stars_struck]

...

[this face says '... hey, you're the one attacking her, what does that make you']

[hugmyscythe]

[ you think she's fighting without that in mind? on the contrary- it doesn't matter. it's an expression brought on and fueled by Yomi. even if she loses, that she was able to do something instead of nothing- of simply being chained and useless... it's enough. ]

[stars_struck]

... in the end, it's Saw we have to really watch out for.

[hugmyscythe]

Of course, I wouldnot want to leave her

only for you to fight.

[ she wants to fight Saw, too!! ]

[stars_struck]

... you might not get a chance, just yet.

[hugmyscythe]

Of course, that chance I have already had

in-game.

[stars_struck]

I think I'm more scared of her human than her.

[hugmyscythe]

Humans' cruelty and how they are able to

manipulate never ceases to

amaze.

[stars_struck]

... I'm not sure wrapping people in chains overtly is strictly better.

[hugmyscythe]

He he he. Are we not simply

horrible beings

as well? A difference is that they are ableto do better.

[stars_struck]

I'd like to think we can right some wrongs.

[hugmyscythe]

As wouldI.[ she just doubts it. a lot. okok? ]

[stars_struck]

We'll get a hold of that Saw.

[meng_huan_myuu]

You should get paid for having a British mun.

I hear those are insufferable.

[stars_struck]

... you're one to talk, saying something like that.

[meng_huan_myuu]

Probably. Brokeloid says hi, by the way. In her own way.

[justanimitator]

Um, Miku-san doesn't p-- pay you?

[stars_struck]

Not for a long while, at least.

[justanimitator]

Maybe you can... can ask her, Shooter-san?

[stars_struck]

It's not like she's even around to ask...

[justanimitator]

I m-- miss her.

And, um, Mun-san didn't know if we are hand-waving that she's still around or... or... not.

[cutsbitches]

Hah.
