all we really wanted was a sulking party, right?

[gyakusatsu]

[SORRY, SWEET DRAGONCHILD, WE HAVE COLLECTIVELY FAILED YOU.

There are no invites to any group gatherings after the trial today. There is only solitude and sulking. Though if you come out to the great hall, there will be a platter of sandwiches. Fancy stuff, that.

But wherever your character may choose to sulk on this fine post-trial Saturday, feel free to share the pain because sharing is caring.]

If this is supposed to be justice, they've got a pretty fucked up view of it.

[maddogs]

Yeah. That's what the Teishu's after, supposedly.

[ he shrugs ]

This whole thing was fucked up ta start with.

[blacksong]

[a sigh] Can't argue there. You'd think if they needed this many people to die and have all that power in the first place, they'd just do the kidnapping then kill 'em themselves.

[maddogs]

Right? Stringin' us along like this...guess the Sage is inta some fucked up shit. This is the third time he's done it.

[blacksong]

And yet every week, he still says "Well done, my warriors," as if we're actually doing this because we want to, because we wanna please him. [And honestly? That's part of what really pisses her off.]

[maddogs]

Some guys get off on power.

[ he's in the yakuza he's seen plenty of that ]

[blacksong]

But most of those people can at least admit that. [It makes a big difference to her.]

[maddogs]

Damn, ain't that the truth.

[blacksong]

See, if they could do at least that much—well, this'd all still be bullshit, but it'd be a little less bullshit. I'm tired of all their fucking excuses.

[maddogs]

Ya heard the corruption shit's pretty much fake, right?

[blacksong]

Wait, really? [She blinks.] I haven't, but that doesn't surprise me in the least. Of fucking course it's fake.

[maddogs]

I mean, I guess it might be a threat, but ta hear everyone talk, the real point is that Sage wants ta become a god.

[blacksong]

Are you serious? That's what he's after? [How basic tbh.] But I guess it all makes sense. What better way to practice being a god than to fuck with a bunch of people and force them to put up with your bullshit knowing you can do whatever the hell you want with them and they can't fight back?
