I'm not saying this to Isabel because like hell I'm going to belittle her with something obvious, but I think this should be noted to those not picking up on it:
Touki and anyone is potentially feeding him that people are monsters, are playing a game of chicken and brinksmanship. Some of us are stronger, faster, smarter than normal humans, but smashing him up blindly just feeds his narrative and justifies what he's saying.
If he's killed or severely harmed by a spirit, that makes him a martyr and feeds the narrative.
So everyone, let's breathe.
And have a potato salad party. Or something.
Or aggressively shop.
no subject
If someone were to just slug him.
Without powers, or anything. Just natural strength.
Would it really be wrong?
no subject
... Hrm. Maybe. It's a powderkeg.
Hit him and you feed into a narrative you're a Monster Lover or some garbage.
I think the best way it could be done is slug him in a Duel.
Make him the joke, so to speak.
no subject
Have him fall on the flat of his back in a way that looks deserved. It's something that's basically the issue of threading a needle.
no subject
... It's all cause of that stuff with Heartland getting attacked, isn't it.

Johnny, tell her what she's won!

Yeah, kinda what I'm thinking!

It's more that. After three years of duel academy, I think my wife and I deserve a little bit of R&R. Everyone else is going to burn out of the fighting game here soon. It's not retirement, it's pacing yourself.
[Private to Noriko]
... also is that Newmasu making your eyes cross? Like the last one did?
no subject
Saving your energy for something actually important?
[Private to Geo]
Yes. What of it.
Re: [Private to Geo]
[Private to Noriko]
Oh, nothing. Their names are just... a strange pick.
Re: [Private to Geo]
I'm trying to not to focus on the name choices of a bunch of a Chuuni teenagers.
Re: [Private to Geo]
Escher's old enough for Cyril to have asked her out. Isn't it a bit troubling that there's a wave of PRETTY SAMASU people that make YOUR eyes cross using the names of cards of 'vassals?'
Re: [Private to Geo]
Oh it's a troubling. But I want to see what they're up to. It feels like cheating otherwise.
And yes, Chuuni. Only conceited nerds would give themselves special sparkle poo names.
Re: [Private to Geo]
Pff, ten bucks says they didn't name themselves and we're gonna be balls deep in monarchs.
Re: [Private to Geo]
Didn't name themselves how. They insist the Vassal names are their magical sparkle poo Pro names they'll be using.
Re: [Private to Geo]
Re: [Private to Geo]
If you're up to a dumb scheme, you pick the less arrogant sounding code name to avoid drawing attention.
And of course I'd call myself Ehther because I am.
Re: [Private to Geo]
Ugh, and we can't even talk to Cyril about spying because I set the Escher card in front of him before his date and he just burned it and part of the counter into ash and didn't say another word to me the whole night.
...yeah, that's different though. You're a bad example.
Re: [Private to Geo]
Do keep an eye out though, and do tell me if you notice anything strange about them.
Besides giving me cross-eye and their dumb names.
I mean, whatever these Samasus are up to, it can't end up being worse than the Illusion Witches repoing me out of a grudge.
Re: [Private to Geo]
I mean, for you, no.
Re: [Private to Geo]
That there's something dumb going on with her?
And look, what are we supposed to do. We have a bunch of Samasus who give me a headache. That isn't a crime
One's a seeming Pro Duelist and the other is a shifty shitty teenager. Until they do something criminal, we can't just go chasing them down, right?
Re: [Private to Geo]
I'll curb my suspicions, until two or three more show up with the naming scheme. Then I'm going to be VERY suspicious.
Just. Getting a little restless is all.
Re: [Private to Geo]
You almost make it sound you're anxious that you're not doing anything.
Re: [Private to Geo]
Re: [Private to Geo]
And here I thought you and Suguru were happy being average and non-descript.

Still doesn't make it any less shitty.

The bigger question is figuring out who is feeding this nonsense.

Well please do so, Officer. I'd rather see years of first contact not go down the drain.

Not a problem, honey.
Private to Noriko
For giving my sister what I couldn't.
Re: Private to Noriko
And. I dunno. I felt she deserved better.
A hot meal.
A clean bed.
A warm shower and bath.
Re: Private to Noriko
As both your friend and as the first family of my daughter.
I'm not sure we'll always see eye to eye, but.
Your always welcome at my house, literally and spiritually speaking.
Re: Private to Noriko
I turned against her, because... ...I never wanted to kill everybody. I thought I did, but I just. Didn't. And we fought, and she. Killed herself.
Then she came back as a Dreadscythe...I was so happy to see her, but I was so damaged by my run-ins with Eiza. I couldn't. I couldn't be what she needed. I spent so much time running away from what Eiza did to me, and what I did as the Witch, I never....settled down enough. To be there for her.
huhhhh, I pretty much abandoned Niyo too, after all she did for me. fuck.
Then. I ran into Z-ONE. And it broke me. And when things had finally gotten peaceful...and we could've been. Together. I had run away from that too.
....I dunno how she doesn't hate me.
Re: Private to Noriko
Ran away from Niyo who kept wanting your love.
Ran away from your father, after reuniting with him.
I think you're scared of having a family. Of feeling loved, Isabel.
And I'm pretty sure your sister does hate you. She just also loves you dearly. It's possible to feel both emotions at the same time.
Re: Private to Noriko
I'm...I'm finally. Stable. And happy, now. I can be with my dad and Akae and my friends, and I think I might be in love with Jeanette and it terrifies me.
Sometimes I think I should just go back to the forest before everything goes wrong and I get hurt again.
Re: Private to Noriko
Besides the fact we might at this rate, need to get you a robot body.
Well besides the fact Jean is a bad luck magnet against her own will.
Re: Private to Noriko
...it won't last. It can't. Nothing ever does. It hasn't for my entire life.
Re: Private to Noriko
Most of it is about appreciating the times at the safe harbor.
Though, I assume you try to make it last? Or do you run at the first sign that it looks like things are going poorly?
Re: Private to Noriko
I'm trying. To just stay put, right now. But I'm still really scared.
Re: Private to Noriko
Medically curious here.
Do you ever have anxiety attacks?
Nervous breakdowns?
Low self-esteem?
Do you feel inadequate, inferior, and want to avoid dealing with others despite wanting to be close to them?
Loss of interest? Feels of depression?
Feelings of suicide?
Intrusive thoughts? Flash backs? Vivid dreams related to past trauma and problems?
I'm mostly asking because considering the amount of crap you've gone through, you probably have developed some sort of anxiety disorder, depression, trauma or so such.
And considering you've been abused by your suicidal nihilistic manager, obviously mind raped by the original Da Eiza, what you did as the Black Rose Witch, and the Z-One incident.
You. Probably should talk to a psychologist.
Being terrified and anxious and scared shitless after all that is normal and I'd like to make sure you don't have another breakdown. Or try to manage it.
(Though going to the Naturia Forest obviously did you a world of good.)
