A game?

[He glances at Shuu, then back to Rook, brows tight.]

So an echo's just playing tricks, then...

[overlording]

[Any chance at that careful tone shatters with a piercing laugh.]

You say that like you actually believe it. Please.

[The other man brushes back his hair with an open hand, smile almost unnatural, eyes a brilliant yellow.]

[menially]

[GLARES A LOT]

[codecmoment]

... are we here to help you guys make up or something?

[morbirdinterest]

The echo said we were to help Technic "come to terms with his secret heart". It would indeed seem that we are here to aid some kind of emotional revelation on his part.

[has a hubcap-like shield on him btw]

[codecmoment]

[ That's adorable. ]

... interesting... that's kind of extremely intimate.

[morbirdinterest]

[no! it's practical!! >:T]

Indeed. Nonetheless, here we are.

[menially]

If I knew who this was? Maybe.

[codecmoment]

Tart says it's you, so... have a heart-to-heart.

[menially]

[He almost snaps back, but just grimaces and shakes his head.]

I doubt he's just wanting to chat.

Probably my last comment for the next less-than-two hours!

[unguilded]

She said we had to help you come to terms with the secrets in your heart. --even though, this is a pretty unfavorable way to do that if you ask me. But, if you need something from us, that's why we're here. We'll help with whatever you need us to. Not just in here, but outside, too.

[ looking at the double does he have an evil goatee ]

So you're "Technic", too, then.

RIGHTO if you're not back in time for battle i will let you know what to do >w>

[overlording]

[Nope

He chuckles under his breath, one leg almost delicately crossing the other.]

And here I thought you were the naive goody-two-shoes of the bunch. Sounds like you're smarter than you look.

[menially]

What the hell do you want from me?

[An arm in from of Rook right now. Someone looks a little pissed.]

[codecmoment]

Maybe you should acknowledge he exits?

[ I'm helping. ]

[menially]

Well, sure, of course he exists.

[GUESTURES TOWARDS HIS PRESENCE????]

It's the "why" that I haven't figured out.

[goodbyenurse]

That would be correct. According to the rules of the game, that is your secret heart...

You are unable to accept this?

[morbirdinterest]

...And if so, discerning the exact nature of your secret heart may allow us to provide some advice on the matter.

[overlording]

Advice?

[That laugh could break glass. He hops to his feet, arms lifted.]

You're talking to him like he's going to listen! What, do you know him as a gullible, accepting, tolerant person? Someone who keeps the peace and, therefore, makes your life and your choices easier? Who makes a good ally?

A bitch and a bird won't get a word out of him. What part of this even surprises you?

[menially]

For someone that claims to be me, you're making awful assumptions.

[Said casually, even though every muscle in his arms are pulled tight.]

[onebullet]

[ Ain't going to stand for any ladies being called a bitch, tyvm! ]

Watch your mouth.

[goodbyenurse]

The offense is mine to take, Garnet.

And I will not.

Technic is far from tolerant, accepting, or a good ally. He opted to question my methodology directly after a win in which we were successful through force of diplomacy off of rumors and whispers. Thus far it seems he wishes to complicate matters for me by second guessing much of what I do.

However, he is Amalthea. Thus, he is family regardless of my feelings in the matter, and he shall be accommodated for regardless of his weaknesses.

[overlording]

You're aware that he does this because he thinks you're a horrible leader, right?

What was it? Only someone sociopathic and inherrently selfish would use those kind of tactics to win?

[Glances at Technic fondly~]

[overlording]

[Flippin the bird at her before turning back to an even angrier Technic.]

First-class liar, aren't you? Truth becomes assumptions, reality becomes a joke. You think you can hide that charade of yours away with a quick mind and a witty tongue and some sort of modest cover story. Hah.

How much have you told these people what you really think of them? Of how you're treated and talked about?

Should I care to demonstrate?

[codecmoment]

Well, I'm the human man of the group, if you're gonna be that rude. So maybe I can pull something out of him.

[overlording]

You're also the largest burden, Otacon. You're an emotional mess, too caught up in what you think you feel to make any contribution other than dead weight.

Out of everyone, you'll be the first one that he ignores.
