week 6, tuesday

[vigilantics]

[ it's sometime in the evening, and stephanie is taking a stroll through the halls. it's a pleasant day??

... actually, it's been more like a stressful day, but at this exact moment it's pretty decent. absolutely nothing can go wrong.

and that's when she runs into veronica. ]

-- oh. Hey there.

Comments

Because, apparently, he's a stupid asshole who didn't realize we're friends.

[it's not veronica's fault that belph is allergic to friendship speeches?? she just aggressively reinforced the fact that they are now s.link rank 10??? wow.]

What the hell did you even tell him? He thought Varian and I were willing to murder him to be part of the last three standing.

[vigilantics]

I said that you guys were mad and that he should be more careful to not accidentally offend you guys? And then after he started guessing who you might want to be in the three last villains and how you'd prefer anyone over him...

[ she tried to say that she didn't think they'd go after him but. belph is belph. ]

[asswipe]

... So he's an even bigger idiot than I thought. Got it.

[belph.......... bELPH..........

She sighs, rubbing her face.]

What about you? What are you going to do?

[vigilantics]

Well... tell you guys and then see what happens from there?

[ she hasn't thought too far ahead for when she reaches that point yet. ]

[asswipe]

I'll back you up if the boys get their knickers in a twist.

[except they don't because the boys are Fine. this is fine.]

[vigilantics]

... thanks. You don't have to.

[ she sounds appreciative though. ]

[asswipe]

[She shrugs.]

I want to. You saw how we reacted to Belph, anyway.

[vigilantics]

You guys will be the only ones who know about me besides Hikage.

[ and they told hikage specifically because they were worried of how he would react if he found out through someone else, so. ]

[asswipe]

... How did Hikage take it?

[because, hm.

hikage seems. bad.]

[vigilantics]

Okay, actually? I think he was just happy I told him.

[ it meant steph trusted him. ]

We were worried about telling him about Belph. But I think we kind of... solved some problems by confiding in him.

[ hm. ]

[asswipe]

[oh my god.]

That's... good to know? I don't know if I should be surprised or really confused, but that's good.

[vigilantics]

Yeah it's..

[ she has no idea how to describe her partner. ]

It's good.
