[They make a so-so gesture.]

I just randomly fall down on occasion.

[firstworldproblem]

Random verticality issues. Random pain. How wonderful.

[There is outdoor seating here and he motions for Cardinal into one and hand them a cup of water.]

What is your preferred drink?

[deicider]

At least they're not creative.

[Cardinal flops into it—on purpose.]

—What drink are you named after? Just make me that.

[firstworldproblem]

[He just laughs and does so, handing it to them.]

You usually play stronger at games. What happened?

[deicider]

[sniffs, then takes a long sip.]

Nobody really wanted to.

Kohime's graduating. Soon, apparantly

[firstworldproblem]

Is she? So she went lightly on her last game?

[deicider]

I guess so... We were just starting to get along.

[firstworldproblem]

How do you feel about it? How Avante played in the game?

[deicider]

... Fine. Just worried about biting it our first game after Shrike and Nero leave. But everyone was participating.

[firstworldproblem]

Were you all in agreement?

[deicider]

Sort of... I think Nemesis and maybe Tsukasa would have liked to push a little harder, but we were behind almost immediately.

[firstworldproblem]

That is good news at least in comparison tot he last time we've spoken of games.

[deicider]

Yeah. I don't want all Shrike and Nero's hard work to go to waste.

What about BARiTONES? You seem like you had a united strategy.

[firstworldproblem]

Before I answer that. What did you think of our strategy? I've already gotten pointed feedback.

[deicider]

It's not a good look for BARITONES.

[firstworldproblem]

And AlcheME?

[deicider]

AlcheME's cute, they'll probably be fine.

[firstworldproblem]

Honestly?

[deicider]

[Shrugs.]

Who talked to you about it?

[firstworldproblem]

[He holds up a hand.]

You thought what AlcheME did was 'cute'?

[deicider]

Of course not. I just mean they're not suddenly going to be a 'bad' team.

[firstworldproblem]

[Long suffering sigh, Cardinal.


Long suffering sigh.]

[deicider]

Cardinal rolls their glass between their hand and then takes a drink.]

Emet-Selch. You know my preferences as far as strategy goes. I'm not going to tell you it's any better in terms of. satisfaction. Good behavior doesn't keep you from getting screwed—quite the opposite. And no one even agrees on what 'good behavior' in a game even is. Dying politely gets frowned on almost as much as playing aggressively.

The only person who needs to be satisfied with your decisions is you. Are you?

[firstworldproblem]

I do not regret my decision nor would I change it. And while I could care less what the masses at large think, being called a martyr by Levity and being blamed as if I personally selected that six units would die is a bit much, don't you think?

[deicider]

Oh... [Levity!!!] Yes. I'm sorry.
