[Just sighs]

Name one thing you want to accomplish.

[rollwillpowercheck]

[opens his eyes again to give Intensity a blank look]

One thing? Um... I guess... if I could...

[trails off, thinking. then starts again.]

If... people like me, who don't want unnecessary violence, and who think there's... value in caring... if I could help them feel less alone and like they need to conform to this place's ways of thinking--?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Then there. That's it. That's the one thing.

[rollwillpowercheck]

[tilts his head to the side, considering]

You think I should just focus on that?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

If you can't handle a thread, why waste your time trying to untagle the whole damn ball of yarn?

[rollwillpowercheck]

Because I'm stuck in the yarn basket...

[sighs]

But... I get what you're saying.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Good.

. . .

It's how I keep focused, you know. Everything for the sake of ultimately getting a chance to overthrow the producers.

The rest doesn't matter. Even if it wants you to distract you from your true task.

[rollwillpowercheck]

[nods slowly...

and then leans forward to rest his forehead against Intensity's shoulder.]

... thank you.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

I need you for endgame, Anubis.

You can't go falling to pieces before that happens.

[rollwillpowercheck]

I know. I don't intend to.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

You better not.

Sane white mages are hard to find.

[An insensitive comment? Probably]

[rollwillpowercheck]

[probably. but also incredibly true. he huffs a tired laugh.]

Yeah, apparently.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Awkwardly pats on the back.

Good then. Are you done?]

[rollwillpowercheck]

[wow a gesture of comfort??? lifts his head, giving Intensity his personal space back, and starts wiping at his (red and blotchy) face with his sleeves.]

Ah, I'm a mess...

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Better fucking treasure it.

Wait.

Now he has to ruin it]

Is that somehow different from normal?

[rollwillpowercheck]

At some point, it was.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

And how's the ratio of mess to not mess been? 70/30? 60/40?

[rollwillpowercheck]

Oh, come on, that's not fair.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

No, but it's funny.

[At least to him anyway]
