week 7; monday ( stephanie )

[belph isn't wasting any time.]

The book beat me to it, but whatever. Get Ion and Veronica to make sure no one does any independent kills this week. Make it an entire PSA if they want—if it comes down to it, better that people volunteer to die than we go around killing in a blind attempt to cull the numbers.

[axilium]

And?

[vigilantics]

At the same time. And they match.

[ ... ]

I'm saying that it all points out to both of them being from the same person. And you're the only one who would do something for the both of us.

[axilium]

... Steph, are you suggesting I requested that you and Hikage be given friendship rings that, together, say "BEST BITCHES"?

[really?]

[vigilantics]

Well, in that case, I can only assume that Tiger is lying to me and it's actually something bad. Guess I'll have to go cut my finger off to protect myself.

[axilium]

[HE WAS TELLING THE TRUTH?? GOSH???]

Do you really want another lecture from Hikage?

[vigilantics]

I grow stronger every time someone yells at me.

[axilium]

[he just raises an eyebrow.]

[vigilantics]

I just need you to know that I don't believe you at all.

[axilium]

That's your prerogative.

[vigilantics]

[ she frowns. ]

One day you'll stop keeping stuff from me.

[axilium]

A secret makes a man a man!

[vigilantics]

You're more like a baby.

[axilium]

[you kissed this baby]

Ouch.

[vigilantics]

[ he rejected her so it doesn't count :/ ]

I'm not wrong.

[axilium]

I could be hurt.

[vigilantics]

...

Are you hurt?

[axilium]

Nope.

[vigilantics]

Then shut up, nerd.

[axilium]

Never mind, my feelings are hurt now.

Anyway, did you happen to talk to Tiger about anything else?

[vigilantics]

[ hmph :T ]

We talked about the war? Stuff like what happens to her and Dragon in each win condition, her past...

[axilium]

Do tell.

[vigilantics]

It's just stuff like... Dragon isn't the first Dragon, but Tiger has been here for the whole time? And if Dragon wins, she's going to... kill herself and Tiger will have to die as well... to maintain balance.

[axilium]

... Well, Dragon did tell me that she'd rather kill Tiger and herself than stab us in the back, so I guess that's not too surprising. [sincerity still questionable, but.] And... how does Tiger feel about that?

[vigilantics]

Tiger was pretty adamant about wanting to live. So, uh, if everything goes well and we get Dragon's ending please be prepared for Tiger to attempt to murder her first?

[ that's. yeah. ]

[axilium]

... Oh, great. Because we don't have enough to deal with.
