[ Crosses his arms. :T This is an odd reaction, and he has the feeling of something being Amiss. He's not cross, though, or judgmental -- more like... inquisitive?]
...I mean, I guess it's fine if all parties consent to it. Ideally the healers, too, since they're also affected by that kinda junk.
Though, wouldn't it be easier to find someone who would do two tasks from the Spicy category, instead? Same amount of points, and both parties benefit instead of just the one. You'd probably get more takers.
Well, I guess it's more accurate to say she came after me and it seemed like she definitely wanted to eat me... She bit King very badly for sure. But King, Seto, Mori and I managed to stop her from seriously hurting anyone.
[ DISAPPOINTING. s-sorry for that really disturbing but genuine wave of disappointment. But at least with it comes a feeling of acceptance; it's only fair, after all, that he agree to it. ]
My best friend from back home was one of them. He told me that the person who staged the coup and drove me from my home- was my cousin. All this time, I thought he died in the upheaval... but Hak all but confirmed that my cousin killed my father.
it's so strange. didn't she cry so long she almost fell asleep when she first found out? So how come--now--she can say this with dry eyes? Without even a catch in her throat? How come--thinking about the death of her father, or the betrayal of someone she thought she loved
it means nothing. It's hollow.
Cobalt... and Wednesday and Kija... were right. ]
.... I think--there's something very wrong with me.
Yes. Two parts of your soul were burned. And if our souls are what make us who we are, it makes sense that you would feel a little different now, without those pieces.
[he has... the STRONGEST desire to pull her into a hug or pet her head or SOMETHING, but he has no idea how the current Hiryuu would react to that so he's behaving himself.]
But don't worry, I heard it's only temporary. I'm sure you'll be feeling like yourself again soon.
[ the good news is she wouldn't freak out or do anything to try to harm one of them. the bad news is... it probably wouldn't provide much comfort. ]
I thought--since my memories were back--I was okay.
[ She should have known better. She feels like a fool. A low, dark feeling that gnaws at the gut and makes ones shoulders feel heavy begins to creep in like fog. ]
To be fair, it's really hard to tell from the inside when stuff like that happens.
I didn't tell you this, but I asked someone on Bad End to use their powers to rewrite some of my memories. Even though I have proof that the change happened, from my perspective, I can't tell that anything's different at all.

...I mean....
Re: Hiryuu
It's better than the alternative, isn't it? If we want a chance at winning.

Re: Hiryuu
[ She starts scanning the spicy list, though, and
it's like the spicy-romantical options don't even register? ]
... I'm not sure.... I suppose I could simply fight someone? Or break something non-vital. That's more acceptable?

Re: Hiryuu
She what?
Re: Hiryuu
Re: Hiryuu
I see.
How's the rest of your unit doing after all of that?
Re: Hiryuu
They're fine, I guess. Dva seems to have lost her memory, but we haven't really spoken.
[ she kind of prefers it that way, given she tried to eat her. ]
Re: Hiryuu
[THAT'S A LOT TO UNPACK ACTUALLY]
Well then. I hope everything gets back to normal with everyone soon.
Re: Hiryuu
she shrugs; there's a feeling of--not apathy, exactly, but an emptiness where concern should be. ]
It'll all work out. Say, are you playing, Cobalt?
Re: Hiryuu
—Though I'm gonna tell you now that I'm not up for anything involving pain. So no stabbing, no killing, and torture is right off the table.
The rest is negotiable.
Re: Hiryuu
All right. A secret that hurts to keep, then?
Re: Hiryuu
Oh, sure. Something on your mind?
Re: Hiryuu
Well, I'm not sure if I believe it myself, however.... you remember when all of those temporary units were created?

Hiryuu, I'm sorry.

Re: Hiryuu
[ he said "rewrite," but she parses it as "erase" since the truth is effectively gone. ]
... Why?
Re: Hiryuu
I kept having upsetting flashbacks about it, so I asked that the memory be changed to something easier to cope with. Apparently.
