week 6, tuesday

[vigilantics]

[ so, they have had a... very busy weekend. seriously. this has been a lot.

but once things have quieted down a bit, steph is going to hunt varian down. ]

Hey.

Comments

[vigilantics]

Thanks, Varian.

[ since she... can't ask... ]

[alchemenace]

Don't worry about it. There should be something that comes out of me ... being the Historian's errand boy, right?

[ he's not sure. how else to fucking describe this. ]

[vigilantics]

I... guess?

[ she also sounds. uncertain. about that. ]

[alchemenace]

Ha, yeah, I'm not entirely sure how I feel about that one either. [ anyway. ] Though I guess you don't ... really need me there, since Belph could ask himself.

[ sad violin about his own uselessness goes here ]

[vigilantics]

It might be better from you? I'm not sure how much we want Akechi to know about Vizier business.

[alchemenace]

If you don't want the whole game to know, very little, apparently.

[vigilantics]

[ ... ]

They're... trying?

[alchemenace]

They definitely are trying.

[ it's true. ]

[vigilantics]

As long as it... works for them?

[alchemenace]

[ does it. does it work for them. let's just change the subject ]

Well, the good news is, now I don't have to worry about trying to get information out of Belph, ever.

[vigilantics]

[ okay she has to cover her mouth to stop her from laughing. ]

He can be nice.

[alchemenace]

I'm, I'm sure he has the capacity, but now I don't have to waste my breath hoping he'll try it on me.

[ varian isn't nearly good enough at socializing to try a beast like belph thanks ]

[vigilantics]

[ yeah steph has had several weeks to reach social link 10 ]

Weeell... yeah, that's fair.

[alchemenace]

... Though, between him and Hikage, you sure have been partnered up with some pretty stubborn people, Stephie.

[vigilantics]

...

I wonder if that was on purpose...

[alchemenace]

... The possibility is pretty high, if the Crafters are the ones picking roles and partners.

[vigilantics]

It was probably for the best that it was me paired with them though.

[ stephanie isn't going to say out loud that there is a very high chance that both hikage and belph would not have given a fuck about what was happening if she didn't friendship them to death, but. there is a very high chance that would have occurred. ]

[alchemenace]

Heh, yeah, obviously, what better way to make sure things work out than to pair them up with a known hero? [ beat ] Small h.

[vigilantics]

[ she chuckles. ]

I guess not all of their ideas are horrible.

[alchemenace]

Only most of them.

[vigilantics]

Like... 90%?

[alchemenace]

95.6%. Maaaaybe .5, but I'm leaning .6.

[vigilantics]

Let's just round it up to the 96%.

[alchemenace]

Ha, well, uh, I try not to round up too high anymore after some ... slight... miscalculations.

[vigilantics]

[ ... ]

Did something blow up?
