Week 4

[airlockedmods]

[After everything that this case was, you probably don't want to deal with anything else. But you wake up on Sunday, just like before, with some new memories, and some new stores to check out.

Let's see what this week brings.]

Sunday | Monday | Tuesday | Wednesday | Thursday

(( Don't forget to check in, and check your memory regains! You can also stop by the gacha machine and Xander's office hours. ))

...Yeah.

Well, if nobody else feels that way and I get punched a lot, then I still deserve it, probably, so.

[burninglight]

Maybe you'll be lucky and I'll make sure you're not punched more than you deserve.

[motherfucking_ghost]

What, are you gonna like talk at people on my behalf?

[burninglight]

Oh, no, you can get yourself into trouble all you like.

I'm simply offering to see to it that you don't get more than you deserve in return. Since apparently I'm some kind of monarch people might listen to.

[motherfucking_ghost]

Pretty sure I deserve a lot, dude.

[burninglight]

So do I. [Ardyn cracked the faintest sincere smile.] Don't worry so much.

[motherfucking_ghost]

Yeah, but you didn't piss off basically everybody.

[burninglight]

Yet.

Give things time to calm down, I suspect they'll understand tensions are high at the very minimum.

[motherfucking_ghost]

I told them basically I'd kill 'em all if I was tempted enough.

Maybe they're just mad at themselves because they'd do the same damn thing under the right pressure.

[burninglight]

It's a difficult offer that I've no doubt several of us would actually consider. Still...I should hope no one actually does more than consider it.

Arianna wants to get everyone back together after things calm down somewhat and talk over the motive. You could try just saying that perhaps you overreacted. ...We might not even end up screaming at each other this time, if a miracle feels like happening.

[motherfucking_ghost]

I should probably not show up.

[burninglight]

Because that will do so much to convince the others you're not actually going to do something stupid.

[motherfucking_ghost]

Okay, and when people walk out of this meeting because I showed up?

[burninglight]

They're not seriously going to walk out just because you show up. Tell them what you just told me, that you're an idiot and you've been an utter asshole and whatever else.

If they put up with me and half of them tolerate Xander, they'll at least coexist with you.

[motherfucking_ghost]

So, just apologize?

Togami kinda suggested the same thing.

You all got a lot more faith in these people than I do.

[burninglight]

Is it still faith if I've been watching these people be unreasonably kind firsthand? What I mean is, there's clearly a line between 'blind faith' and 'reasonable assumption'.

[motherfucking_ghost]

Nobody has any reason to, y'know. Like me. Except Fuku. And...well, the only other person is dead, so.

[burninglight]

...I like you well enough.

[motherfucking_ghost]

And you don't really have much reason to, either.

Huh. I guess that's the point, then.

[burninglight]

...I guess that it is, isn't it?

[motherfucking_ghost]

Thanks. For sticking up for me. Even when you shouldn't.

[burninglight]

Don't thank me. We'll call it even for you thinking I might have been a better monarch than I likely would.

[motherfucking_ghost]

You would've been great, shut up.

[burninglight]

And you're not always a walking headache, shut up.
