[konpeitoqueen]

let's say A is anyone and B is someone who treats A terribly by society's standards

which is dumb to follow but for the sake of argument

so B gets into trouble and by A's point of view they've done nothing but horrible things to them

and A still helps B out of trouble without any way of using the situation to make them 'owe one' or blackmail

what exactly could A be thinking?

[...Saionji is not very good at all this anonymous business.

What's up with all this, though?]

[oh for god's sake]

Either you're the harpy or now there's two of her ilk.

[konpeitoqueen]

[fuck]

i was just bringing up an analogy

[beholdmydemons]

You're terrible at this.

[he's touching the poop]

[konpeitoqueen]

you don't have proof about who i am anyway

[ew walter don't do that]

[tearsofademon]

I've been called that a lot.

[konpeitoqueen]

[Oh.

Well then.

Saionji's completely misjudged Ib's world. She seemed just like a quiet little, rather spoiled, girl- that's all. But here she was, trusting a man she's barely met or talked to face-to-face because of the little girl, and he's trusting her back with a story that may very well incriminate the both of them if it's twisted just the right way.

When did she ever dig herself into situations like these?]

I won't tell anyone else unless you want me to.

[And for once, she actually means that. Perhaps... even on pain of death- haha, no. Not that much yet.]

That isn't the weirdest thing that's happened, anyway! I got trapped on an island and a bear told everyone to kill each other to get out. [When did she get so casual about mentioning that, too? Maybe because it's been half a year, and- the events are almost like a bad dream.

She's spent a longer time in Johto than Murderisland.]

[konpeitoqueen]

actually

i don't think i know anymore

[Thank you, anon, for allowing her to say that for once.]

[tearsofademon]

Huh?

[beholdmydemons]

For someone so bound up in delusions of dignify you're eager to thrash like a dying trout.

I gather it was one of your Pokemon that took mercy on you. Perhaps you should take it for what it is and be grateful lest you receive no third chance.

[artificialrose]

Thank you. I knew I could trust you!

[And he's actually honest about this, too.]

I see. I'm sorry you had to go through that. It looks like being trapped in awful places is something we both have in common then.

[konpeitoqueen]

as if i'll tell you! what's the point of spilling a mystery all at one go?

[konpeitoqueen]

[Walter?

Fuck you.]

yeah yeah whatever i've found better answers anyway

[MUST NOT... SEEM... MAD...]

[synchroswim]

or a really smart one. ever hear of the phase keep your friends close and enemies closer?

_{[Except that... never really worked for him back home. Some people could be reasoned with, but then there's also Larxene. Euuugh, that lightning witch...]}

[konpeitoqueen]

[...Goddammit.

Why are there so many fucking Anime Good People that remind her of her dad?!]

Well, I wouldn't want people to use something like that against Ib. So it's mostly because of her I even trusted you in the first place, alright? [TSUNS FOREVER] And a lot of people seem to come from 'awful places' by my society's definition.

At least, they claim to.

[konpeitoqueen]

[They should bond over failing terribly on trying to do that. The moment Saionji opened up? BAM, SOMEONE'S A DEADASS MOTHERFUCKER.]

that could be true. bidding their time to take them down themselves maybe

i'd hate to be B in this case then!

[SWEATS]

how does that actually work in practice, though? especially if A and B will just go back to normal after that.

[artificialrose]

[Fate hates you, Saionji. The only explanation.]

That's fine too. I'm glad she's managed to make friends here!

I suppose so. With that in mind, I suppose being trapped here isn't so bad in comparison. I'd still like us to be able to go home, however.

[beholdmydemons]

Do you so badly want to fall in the same manner over and over again? What in the life of your kind is so important that you won't consider doing anything to make yourself stronger?

[He's half exasperated, but half genuine. Why are Luxurors total assholes please enlighten him.]

[synchroswim]

maybe but in my experience its just been to survive
sorta
theres always gonna be people out there where trying to buddy up to em doesnt work

but uhhhh
its kinda hard to explain i guess

[tearsofademon]

Then why say it if you're not going to explain?

[konpeitoqueen]

[What has she ever done to deserve this?! 8( ]

this place is kinder than any home i've been to

it makes people softer and if anything really goes wrong i don't think we might be able to deal with it

[Note: By we, she is including herself.] but it's still not a paradise yet

[konpeitoqueen]

i don't know why you're asking me this

[She knows exactly why, but goddammit, it's hard to answer, because-]

some people just don't have a choice

[konpeitoqueen]

yes i can see you're having significant trouble articulating yourself

[She still has her snark.]

but i guess that makes sense, having to suck up to those higher than them.

[konpeitoqueen]

where's the thrill of waiting if you don't say something to make them wait for it first?

that's how it works in all the stories!

[tearsofademon]

I guess...

[artificialrose]

i think even the kind of people who are considered soft can pull through in the end.

[Says the guy who... sort of... set a small girl on fire. Mmmmhm.]

You're right. There's still a lot of things to worry about... Ah! That reminds me! Please be careful when you're visiting Goldenrod, Saionji! I wouldn't want anything bad to happen to you. There were reports of someone getting attacked.
