The hell if we're gonna let you do that.

[quackery]

There's more than round to this, right? It's probably going to happen to all of us eventually, so just let me do it.

[peoplediewhenikillthem]

What kinda attitude is that? It'll happen to us all eventually so you gotta go first?

That's not how it works.

[quackery]

How do you know that's not what's going to happen?

[Not that she actually believes it herself, but she thinks it might convince Badass and then it won't have to happen to anyone else.]

Zelos already agreed with me. Let me do it.

[peoplediewhenikillthem]

I'll let you do it, but only if you change your view about it. Just 'cause it might happen to us all doesn't mean you need to do it.

[quackery]

...You're right. I was wrong. Sorry.

Which do you think I should pick? I don't want to take the Temperance one if you think you might be able to use in a better way later on.

[peoplediewhenikillthem]

[ If only she can feel guilt. ] Which card speaks to you?

[quackery]

I'm not sure what you mean, but the Empress one and the High Priestess seem like the most harmless. I mean, I know all of them could be really bad, but...

[peoplediewhenikillthem]

I mean which card do you think you can relate to. If you find one that sounds like you, then you should use it.

Sorta how we're saving Temperance for me, yeah?

[quackery]

All of them look too regal for me... You know more about it, though, do you have any ideas?

[peoplediewhenikillthem]

The Fool.

[quackery]

[wow]

...Okay, if you think that would be best.

[peoplediewhenikillthem]

[ She means it in a nice way, but there's nothing nice about this game. ]

I'll explain it to you sometime.

[quackery]

Yeah. Once this is over, okay?

[Reaching over to take it, moving slowly and trying to ignore the pain.]

[peoplediewhenikillthem]

I will.
