[




















Maybe she should just die.]

If he was aiming for cruelty, he hit the nail on the fucking head.

[leaberator]

He's tryna get you out of your comfort zone and get you to bond with people. He did the same to me. It's kind of his calling card for tasks.

[ he hums a bit ]

I'm guessing you picked me 'cause I know about the whole Julius thing and Ookurikara's an even worst option?

[televised]

This isn't bonding. It's purposefully putting a target on the back of my head by letting people think I'm weak.

[Sharing your feeheeheelings is? Fucking? Terrifying? She hates it.]

Of course I did. At least you would understand why I'm doing this, and Ookurikara doesn't even know that I'm involved.

[leaberator]

[ okay he has a lot to address in that ("feelings make you weak" OKAY, CHILL, XEMNAS) but: ]

Seriously, who told him? Shess? Why does he even know anything about this?

[televised]

[She grips her forearms, still wishing for death's cold embrace.]

Might have been Emma. Lune told her to go beg that asshole for forgiveness as one of her tasks.

[leaberator]

And that included telling her what she was doing this week?

[ this is stupid. ]

Never mind all that. Look, I can't say I'm all that fond of sharing with others either, but I got no plans on using having feelings against you. Either you try it, or you don't.

[televised]

[She shrugs? It is, in fact, stupid.]

Having feelings isn't the problem. It's never been a problem. [Bitterly, like a bitter person. She's going to 1v1 Lune after this?] But showing weakness? Letting people know what you're really afraid of? It means anyone can take that and exploit it. And I—

[...]

I'm not going through that again.

[leaberator]

[ he's quiet. ]

You've been betrayed before.

[ it's not a question, just a prompt to see if she'll continue; he figures she doesn't want any kind of commentary outside of that. ]

[televised]

I live in a world that's kill or be killed. Us versus them. Letting yourself open up to people only ends in disappointment.

[Not quite betrayal. Just... disappointment. An overall feeling of getting exactly what you deserve for letting yourself hope? It's fine. Everything is fine. She's just going to make a point out of not making any eye contact with him.]

Besides... I'm the only one who can lead my people. They'll lose hope if I let them know that I'm as worried as they are.

[leaberator]

[ ...again, there's a lot to unpack here, but he's not here to look through this whole suitcase so let's just throw that away!!! he's even being nice by looking out towards the sea to help out. ]

Sounds pretty isolating. You're leading your people to... what, exactly?

[ since it implies a little more than just normal leadership, if she's worried about stuff ]

[televised]

[Please. Just set the whole suitcase on fire.]

It's on my scroll. Unless you've forgotten what's written on those already.

[leaberator]

We're playing at emotional vulnerability here, throw me a bone. [ he's so tired. ] What's the revolution for?

[televised]

Freedom. [Is it really vulnerability if she likes this particular topic...] Right now, my people are seen as property. We're going to change that.

[leaberator]

Property?

[ wow i sure am glad disney never talked about slavery so axel can be #shook ]

[televised]

[can't believe disney's squeaky clean past.]

The humans think they own us. [not sorry about how she makes ~the humans~ sound like an insult.] That we only exist to be their loyal, subservient toys. But we're our own people. And we're going to make sure the whole world knows that.

That's what the revolution stands for.

[leaberator]

[ kh, sweating whenever disney talks about race but putting frollo yelling about gypsies in kh3d: yea

anyway it's fine you spend enough time as a non-human you start to not bat an eye at hating on people. whoop whoop ]

Can I say, your world kind of sounds like a nightmare? [ and he's saying this while ailing from hollow bastion, so that's saying something. [diz voice] i love my people let's experiment on them ] If you guys can start a revolution, shouldn't that be proof enough that you can't be property?

[televised]

Try living in it.

[DRYLY. SHE'S SO TIRED... OF PEOPLE........... But now Lea knows why she has absolutely no chill 99% of the time, ig.]

You would think so, right? But the humans never listen to us. They think we're what's upsetting society. Like they haven't spent ages hurting and maiming each other. The enviroment's fucked, and we're the greatest threat to mankind. It's disgusting.

[leaberator]

People are like that. They're scared of what they don't understand, so they act like they hate it. [ lea is a people now but does he care?? no ] It's a lot easier to put blame outward than ever have to self-reflect.

[televised]

That's not an excuse. They're killing us. Markus— [...] Our previous leader... He tried to reason with them. He wanted to resolve things peacefully, and they still murdered him. I don't care if they're "scared" of us. They deserve to watch their society burn to the ground.

[leaberator]

I didn't say it was an excuse. Just an explanation. People are people wherever you go.

[ he's very matter of fact about it. although... normally he'd let it drop, but this is forceful emotional vulnerability time, so: ]

... You say that confidently, but you said you were just as worried as your people were earlier.

[televised]

[lea, please just let her set the suitcase on fire. her expression pinches.]

... Of course I'm worried. I was right there when our leader was killed— and I still couldn't do anything about it. The humans are ruthless. If they find out where we're hiding, they'll kill us all. One wrong move would cost us everything.

[leaberator]

... Sorry.

[ for her loss. altho he hasn't played a David cage game so he looks confused ]

Shouldn't humans be... squishier than you guys?

[televised]

... It's fine.

[someone make axel play heavy rain.]

They have an advantage over us in number. "Squishy" doesn't matter when they can overwhelm us.

[leaberator]

Sounds like you've got your work cut out for you. You planning on keeping that up if we get back?

[ shauuuuuun ]

[televised]

I have to. I can't rest until my people are free.
