Game 140
Who: Anyone
Where: The Arena
When: Day 229, noonish
What: [On the throne today is a smiling youth, face ringed by black curls. He has a harp-like instrument in his lap and a pen behind his ear. It's been a while since any have seen him, but, perhaps, to the oldest and most keen observers here, he seems perhaps a touch thinner than last time. The Arena is not terribly decorated for his appearance, indeed, if not for the statue sitting there, one would not be sure this was really a call at all.]
Good afternoon, duckies, good afternoon! Who's ready for some wholesome (and platonic!) self-exploration and completely non-fatal fun, hmm? I know I certainly am. Yes, I'm sure you've all been having just unbearable amounts of fun, but you know, let's just- . . .
[clears his throat]
Ahem. Sorry, I was saying, let's just slow it down. Maybe, oh, I don't know, talk about our feelings a while.
((Technically, yes, this is a loser game, but anyone can play.))

Re: [LACERTA]
Re: [LACERTA]
. . . Just give me your hand, okay?
Re: [LACERTA]
[g-gives you his hand asjdkfjs;a]
I'm a huge screwup, you know that? I feel like I'm not -- able to help you enough, or do or say what you really need. I feel like I'm just nagging you or hurting you. I just want you to be alright. That's why you--
Why would you want to be like me.
Re: [LACERTA]
No, you're—you're not. I'm the one who can't . . . listen . . . I don't know. I'm no good. I can't deal with people or anything like that. I don't . . . understand them. Why they're so . . .
You always seem like you get it, so . . . so that's why.
Re: [LACERTA]
I don't always get it at all. You don't have to be able to deal with people to be a good person and-- knowing how to deal with people doesn't make you good. And you're plenty good, I know you are. You could trust me a little on that. It's alright that you don't always listen, I know why you can't sometimes. But you try hard.
Re: [LACERTA]
Knowing how to deal with people makes you better at it. And I . . . I would've rather cut people up than do this. I'm no good at all.
Re: [LACERTA]
I still screw up when it counts sometimes. And... I know you would. But you'd hate yourself for it too. You're hating yourself for it right now.
I think... you're really bad at understanding yourself. When I try to stop you-- it's never because I have to stop you from some true evil nature. It's because I don't want you to hurt yourself.
Re: [LACERTA]
Re: [LACERTA]
About Flowers... you felt so strongly for her because she never wanted to be this way, right? The others forcibly saved her. The way she was, she'd never want to do the same thing to her brother. I mean-- she killed her husband over it.
I'd be willing to kill to keep Messenger alive too. But that's for a lot of reasons. You aren't the only one so jaded to the false death here. But because of all that...
Re: [LACERTA]
I want her to be like that again.
. . . Because of that, what?
Re: [LACERTA]
You know there may be no saving them if we want to save ourselves. This isn't our world, Scowl. And these aren't our gods. The fate of this world may have been sealed long ago.
You think I'm so much kinder than you, but you're so easily moved. I wish you could consider and forgive people half as completely as you do for her. And you're innocent enough to want to save her.
I'm not. I'm an exorcist. A destroyer. The only way I've ever saved a dying soul is by destroying it.
Re: [LACERTA]
A destroyer, huh . . . We match.
Re: [LACERTA]
[sighs... holds out his hand for a papercut]
It's not that I think what happens to you is alright. I have people I can't deal with at all either. And you shouldn't put up with everything. I just wish you wouldn't think my opinion of you is naive just because it's kind.
Re: [LACERTA]
I just . . . can't understand what you see.
Re: [LACERTA]
I'm not going to wake up one morning and suddenly realize you're not who I think you are. Okay?
Re: [LACERTA]
. . . Okay.
