On mun's erratic shipping

[vectorsnake]

Surely you're joking.

I do not require a male partner, no matter how desperate you are to pair me up with one. What do you take me for? A weapon in need of a wielder; or a technician in need of a weapon? Certainly not!!

The list grows longer by the second! You’re getting out of control!

First, Albert Wesker. All right, he has a scientific mind that I can appreciate and a body I wouldn’t mind examining.

Then there’s that Captain Hazama fellow. ...I can say little on the matter, as I know nothing about him, nor do you.

But Giriko?? Of all characters in all creation…Giriko??? My hag sister’s errand boy??

.......all right, he’s physically attractive but his mind is far too eroded for my liking.

It's just best to ignore the whole 'shipping' thing, if you ask me.

[vectorsnake]

Normally I would but it seems that every male entity that pops into her head she thinks is the "perfect match" for me. It's getting difficult to ignore now...

[strawberrylicious]

Sounds like a hassle. Or wishful thinking on your mun's part.

[vectorsnake]

Wishful thinking is the more likely. It's not a hassle for me because all I have to do is wait for her to get shot down, or use this as my reply:

"No."

[It's hard to argue with a witch...]

[strawberrylicious]

Yeah? [ Shoves his hands into his pockets. ] You make it sound simple.

[vectorsnake]

Because it is simple - if another mun turns her down, which is the most likely result of her fanatical shipping, it's no skin off my nose.

It's those god-awful memes I have to watch out for...it's where she gets her horrid shipping ideas, and unfortunately half the time we muses are forced to obey.

[You're forced to obey anyway, let's not fool ourselves here.]

[strawberrylicious]

Well.... [ Can't argue with her there! ] Yeah. Some of those memes are more twisted than some people I know.

[vectorsnake]

Agreed...though according to my mun you apparently know some very twisted individuals...

[She's right up there with Aizen on the twisted scale, fair warning.]

[strawberrylicious]

[ For a moment, his expression darkens. ] ...I'd rather stay away from them, too.

[ Unless they threaten him directly. ]

[vectorsnake]

Most sane people would.

[She's never been what one would call 'sane'.]

[strawberrylicious]

Oh, sure. All the crazies gather together. How else would one manage to form a team of them?

[vectorsnake]

If it's any consolation, in my world the 'crazies,' as you call them, can't stand each other. They're far too paranoid for comrades.

It makes them much harder to find indeed!

[strawberrylicious]

You search for them?

[vectorsnake]

When I require their services, or when I think they could be of some use to me, yes - but not because I enjoy it, mind you.

[strawberrylicious]

[ Seems kinda suspicious. ] Er... yeah. Not sure what services you'd be talking about besides them being annoying.

[vectorsnake]

Oh, those who are insane enough to have no regard for their own safety can be indeed useful...

[Suicide bombers, booby trap trippers, you name it, Medusa had probably made someone do it.]

[strawberrylicious]

[ Definitely getting the feeling she's crazy here... ] Sounds like you don't care if others get hurt, huh.

[vectorsnake]

Not particularly, no. Should I?

[She smirks, that same glimmer of magic in the form of a black and purple serpent's tongue flickers from between her lips again.]

[She's not crazy - the most dangerous thing about her is that she's perfectly sane. The world would do far better to have an insane Medusa.]

[strawberrylicious]

[ A clear frown now. ] Amazing how many people don't know the answer to that...

[vectorsnake]

Oh, you misunderstand - I know the answer perfectly well, I just know it's not the answer you want to hear.

You seem the righteous hero type to me, so naturally your answer would be "yes, you should care."

But I'm not precisely like you. I worry about people when it is advantageous and part of my plan to do so.

[strawberrylicious]

So...what, you skipped your entire ethics class in college? [ Can't help but sass the witch. He, too, has seen her type before. ]

[vectorsnake]

Ah, so that's your defense mechanism is it? That sharp wit of yours? I see.

Witches have no ethics, that is what it means to be a witch. We do as we please and what we must to survive, lest the Shinigami reaps our very souls.

[Different Shinigami than the ones he's used to, I'm sure..]

[strawberrylicious]

[ He seems to come a bit more attentive at that. Well, more specifically at the shinigami part, but. Yes. ] So you're a witch. A witches.... try to find crazy people to join their team. [ Is what he is getting out of this convo. ]

[vectorsnake]

[Medusa chuckles, but that low chuckle turns into a loud cackle.]

A team? What an adorable boy, you are! I need no team, I only need pawns that I can move as I like.

[strawberrylicious]

Sounds like the same concept to me, in the end. [ Thinking of Aizen!! No doubt that guy used others as mere pawns, too. ]

[vectorsnake]

[Yeah, Medusa and Aizen would probably be besties...if they didn't kill each other first!]

That's a macabre idea for a hero like you to uphold. Usually the use of disposable pawns sends your type into a soliloquy of justice.
