I'm quite fond of Yvette and Manhattan personally. And their cat girl doesn't seem the malicious type. Just paranoid.

[Pausing for a moment]

As for the one who decided to call a Live for a murder, considering her previous demeanor - her actions are unfortunately not too surprising. I'd be more interested if she acted alone or not.

[deicider]

Well, with your endorsement...

[mostly teasing.]

She came after me in the arena game and almost killed me, but she didn't seem to have an agenda. If she did, she's a convincing actor.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Less concerned about her having an agenda and more about there being someone pulling her strings.

. . .

If you're serious about this, I purchased something from BARiTONES, from her in fact, that might be useful to you.

[deicider]

[blinks. Thinks about it for a second.]

Her murder voucher?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

I bought it for the cost of the Live. With the stipulation that I could later choose who to use it on.

If you want it at any point, it's yours to use on who you see fit.

[deicider]

[cranes up slightly to look at him. ]

Thank you. I'll keep that in mind.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Feel free to speak your mind if you think it was a dubious purchase. Because it definitely was.

[deicider]

It's only dubious if Doll can't be trusted to adhere to it. If Doll sees herself as playing the game, she might. A few points are worth a chance.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

She doesn't seem complex enough to plan for a long con or a non-obvious deceit. Or really that complex at all. I had to barter with her to change the wording of the deal from "brutally murdered" to just "murdered".

[deicider]

I'd prefer 'complex' to 'impulsive', honestly.

[amused,]

It's possible she never considered murdering non-brutally.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

That's exactly what I'm worried about.

People with less empathy than me. Fucking low bar.

[deicider]

[laughs!]

People with less empathy than me, an even lower bar.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

You sell yourself short, Commander. You care about the community even if you're indifferent to the majority.

[deicider]

That doesn't count for much when my unit is a mess and the community would still rather waste time ripping each other apart in games than make even the smallest effort to talk to each other.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

But yet here you are. Still trying.

[deicider]

I'm apparently an optimist by nature.

[might be pouting a bit at that.]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Moving to lean up against the table next to them. Or closer - since they are laying down.]

Maybe you're just a sucker for complex problems.

[deicider]

[turning to their side to keep him in view, propping their chin on an arm.]

That's definitely true.

What do you know about Lucifel?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Tenses. Probably noticeably]

He's the worst kind of the villain. One you can't hate because he's so---

Lucifel.

[deicider]

[Whoa. Raises an eyebrow. ]

Can you elaborate?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Did you hear what happened on our side of the trial?

[deicider]

Of course. He and some other Sensitivs did the same thing to Nemesis during that arena game.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Oh.

Oh he didn't know that.

Now he looks mad. As if being mad at the trial wasn't enough.]

Did he now?

[deicider]

[frowns lightly.]

Yeah. He wasn't there but then Sensitiv and Yasuragi went for Nemesis and Requiem a round later.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

I heard about that latter part from Nemesis.

. . .

Did you talk to Lucifel after the game? Or since then?
