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~]

[goodbyenurse]

Are you attempting to assault me emotionally when I have already placed you as a possible hostile target?

Interesting. Technic, your secret heart is not very smart.

[menially]

[ROLLS HIS EYES IN AGREEMENT...]

[goodbyenurse]

[Looking over to him.]

Is that true, though? That this is your assessment of me?

[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?

[morbirdinterest]

[addressing normal Technic 8|]

...This is what you cannot accept? That you have unflattering thoughts about your teammates that you are not comfortable sharing and would rather hide?

[menially]

Why are you all assuming this is what I can't accept...?

[Not quite an answer, but he's uncomfortable and would like to leave.]

[morbirdinterest]

First, we are here, and it seems unlikely we would be here to help you accept anything if there were not anything you were struggling to accept, however much you believe you have.

Second, for something you claim to accept, its presence and words seem to aggravate you quite a bit.

[menially]

Because whatever it is is playing along with things. Game or not, the only thing that's pissing me off is that he won't shut his mouth.

I don't care what he says or what similarities it might have. That isn't me.

[onebullet]

[ Rood. Keep this up and she'll stab you with her tuning fork, s2g ]

[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.

[codecmoment]

Are you trying to make me feel bad, because I already know all of this. I don't need Technic to look after me.

[overlording]

God, your self worth is embarrassing.

You know he's holding your hand anyway, with you becoming a wreck over almost everything. The words coming out of your mouth right now? They're utter bullshit.

And right now, you're assuming someone trusts you and putting all that damn guilt and emotional blame on yourself, because more apathetic weight on your own problems is easier than bothering to admit what's important or true. You can't even stand up for people you say you care about without someone guiding you through it.

You already feel bad. You ALWAYS feel bad. Have you not thought that is exactly the reason that he tries to talk to you? Because you're easy. Easy, aggravating, and so stupid he could kill you.

[codecmoment]

[ Turning to real Technic. ]

You sure have a lot of feelings about me.
