... Our people would not cast anyone out like that, it is true. Thus we can conclude that the problem is my own doubts as to whether I can do anything to benefit others. Not to mention that this place does punish us for not being better or faster than others.

[It's almost like the way the games are set up is traumatizing! Who could have foreseen this.]

And you know I gave up the position to you for a reason. I would make an even worse Architect now than I would have back then.

Then cast thoughts of this place aside. And I'll ask the question again.

What do you want?

[For a brief moment, he grips the wheel a little tighter, but then breathes out.]

Be more specific. I want a lot of things, and a lot of them are conflicting with one another.

[He shows him another turn.]

Your goal. Your purpose in life. Though truly any wants will do.

If you are up for continuing such a heavy topic. I know it has been difficult.

[vroom vroom! where are we going.]

... I want to go home. I want to not exist. I want to be with Lily. I want all of this to never have happened. I want to want something, and I want to be forgotten by everyone. I imagine you're noticing the theme.

I am seeing a trend.

[They will eventually make it to tokyo bay. A small park near the water with views of the city.]

Forgetting you is not an option, so I'm afraid you will need to cross that off your list. This place also is not meant for you to solve such conflicts, but allow them to breed and fester. Apologies that I don't have a good solution. But if you are every feeling lonely, my door is always open for you.

[Oh, this is cute... At least Levity seems to cheer up at the sight of their destination! He likes nature.]

... I feel lonely almost all the time, to tell you the truth. Even when I am with others.

[This is less cute, though.]

[He gets out the blanket and the basket and finds a place to sit.

As for the statement, he nods.]

If you ever do find a solution for that, do let me know. I know being around people will not make it go away, but I hope it at least helps. Or do you still feel as if you don't belong?

[Even Chronically Sad as he is, Levity wouldn't be Hythlodaeus if he let up the opportunity to be a gremlin to pass by. He just waits until Emet settles down, and then comes over to climb into his lap.]

Less than I have before, fortunately. But I still do feel lost. I've taken to finding places to hide, but Vergil already scolded me for it.

[He gives him a withering look with no bite, but then just wraps one hand around him patting his back.]

You are still adjusting, but Vergil is right. Be careful not to fall too deep into your own head.

[Being a gremlin is helping, actually! He gives Emet a smug look, then reaches out to pat his cheek - in a manner that's probably quite reminiscent of Absinthe.]

Unfortunately, I have quite a big head.

Then I would recommend some guard rails in it.

[He sighs.]

Or perhaps you simply need someone to, ah, what's the term.... bully.

[Yes he does. THE SMUGGEST LOOK.]

Your volunteering is greatly appreciated.

I suppose if someone has to suffer it, I will bear the burden.

Turn around, would you?

And subject myself to your nefarious schemes, you mean?

[He laughs, though, and does turn around - though it would be a lie to say he doesn't feel a tinge of worry. But distrusting others out of fear is something he's trying to combat in himself before it sets in.]

[He pats his shoulder before beginning to braid his hair.]

There are sandwiches in the basket if you find you hands are too idle.

[Cute! He smiles, shoulders lowering a little as he makes himself relax.]

What if I eat all of them before you get the chance to even try them?

Starve, I suppose. Though somehow I feel as if I've invited you trying to shove them all in your mouth at once.

[......... oh the temptation is so STRONG]

It does work for an experiment Live. How many sandwiches can I fit in my mouth at once?

You would want to broadcast it.

Well, go on. If it brings you joy, why not?

Mm... Perhaps I will keep it private, just this one time. You can be the only spectator!

[but also i can absolutely make it a main-comm live if we want that.]

Well, I would be rather disappointed if others did find out about this place. I do enjoy coming here to think.

But I could send you the 300 points to make it feel like a live.

[As he finished braiding his hair he ties it with a blue ribbon. Seems like he just has that on him for a reason.]

I cannot believe I am being paid to eat all your sandwiches!

[Curiously, he reaches back to drape the braid over his shoulder and inspect it.]

Oh... blue, hmm? Are you fond of the colour, too?

I carry them around for Comso actually. Which means they are really for Vergil. I'm quite sure would expire if he didn't wear something with that as part of the color.

[He wires him 300 points. He also takes out a small notebook and pen. On the top of the page he simply rights 'Sandwiches' and is ready to tally.]

Now I worry I didn't bring enough.

[BRAINGEARS TURNING]

... Ah, so that is what he meant by being fond of blue "these days"! Oh, I must remember this to terrorize Vergil later.

[Holy shit though we are doing this. Levity grins, rubbing his hands together.]

Soooo... Would you like to set any rules before I begin?
