Oh. Pleasant. Do you think the memory will end if I kill myself or the other person that's witnessing it?

[ :) ]

[tactic]

A bit of an extreme measure, don't you think?

[ EAT A SNICKERS ]

[refractures]

Why? There is no respect for death in this place in general. Why should it matter?

[ no ]

[tactic]

You assign too much power to your memories if a glimpse into them is punishable by death. Are you so desperate to keep your secrets?

[refractures]

There are some secrets you keep as long as you exist. It must be nice to be so carefree~

[ In a bit of a teasing tone. ]

[tactic]

[ :3 heehee ]

Well then, how very fortunate for me to have witnessed a memory that didn't lead to either of our deaths.

[refractures]

It's a bit like Russian Roulette, isn't it? Maybe your luck is just too good.

[ lol

lmao ]

[tactic]

I've been told that a few times before.

[ looooooollll ]

It was quite a sweet memory. Though, I must say, the man in the memory doesn't much resemble the man in front of me now...

[refractures]

Well, of course he wouldn't! That would be quite silly.

[ He just smiles and smiles. ]

[tactic]

I suppose a lot's happened since that time? Almost a century, my goodness. I'm not long-life species, so I certainly can't begin to understand.

[ Also smiles... They are just smiley people enjoying the company. ]

[refractures]

That's fine with me, because I'm not here to be understood.

[ Aventurine will get the idea that Seo really doesn't like talking about this topic... ]

I'm just a twenty-five-year-old human~

[tactic]

[ THEN KILL HIM SEO ]

Am I meant to believe that after what I just saw?

[refractures]

[ :thinking: ]

You can believe in whatever you want, but I'll just keep saying the same thing.

[tactic]

[ Raises his hands like okay! I give up! ]

How do introductions sound, then? Mr. Seodore, right? I'm called Aventurine.

[refractures]

[ Good call, Aventurine. Seo laughs. ]

Aventurine... for the stone? Or "adventure"?

[ Are you a jrpg protagonist, mister adventure? Tell him more. ]

[tactic]

For the stone, yes.

[ here, you can have this memory you already hsr familiar haki ]

[refractures]

[ Seodore watches the memory and tries to keep a poker face, but goddamn. He mutters under his breath something derogatory about rocks. ]

Unlucky to be in a bad situation, but lucky enough to get out of it...

[ He wonders if he has survivor's guilt. ]

[tactic]

Isn't that most of us? Here we are, unlucky enough to have been brought into yet another one of these rounds and hoping to strike lucky to get out of it once again.

[ Insanity, but story of his life. ]

[refractures]

... I wish I could believe it was luck.

[ He just smiles wryly. ]

Sometimes, people just want to see us suffer the bad luck of the draw. Isn't that right?

[tactic]

[ why did ur text become purple UMMMM ]

That may be so, but play your cards right, and there's nothing quite as satisfying as the look of crushing disappointment and defeat in those formerly smug faces.

[refractures]

[ don't worry about it

If anything, Seodore seems normal. ]

Doing that to gods in particular feels incredibly satisfying.

[ He thinks back to his scuffle with Scara... good times. ]

[tactic]

I don't get to meet very many of those. You're really playing with high stakes.

[ IS THAT WHY YOUR HUSBAND IS DEAD ]

[refractures]

[ HELLO ]

Luckily for you, there seems to be plenty here.

[ But he seems a little chagrined. gods, man. ]

[tactic]

[ hi! ]

You speak as though you have a vendetta.

[refractures]

[ ask him that to his face ]

Oh, we just have sooooo many gods and angel-adjacent people here that it sickens me! Angels are terrible! We even have a satan-adjacent here! That one gets lumped with the formerly mentioned.

[ Our freaking teen triad...................... ]

[tactic]

I'll admit that I'm not too well-versed in gods and angels, but I did meet the Holy Bible once, and that thing was possessed.

[ SO HE KIND OF GETS IT? ]

[refractures]

A possessed bible?

[ Honestly, yeah? That tracks. ]

What did it do? Curse everyone based on the several verses from Exodus?

[tactic]

I think it mostly screamed horrors and gave psychotic visions to anyone who dared to take it.

[ oh scawwy ]

[refractures]

Oh, fun. The bible is a glorified fiction book anyway.

[tactic]

I can think of a few people you'd deeply offend with that sort of statement.

[ AVENTURINE DOESN'T KNOW THE BIBLE'S IMPORTANCE!!! CHRISTIANITY NEVER INVADED SIGONIA!! ]

[refractures]

That's fine. We can just chalk it up to it being God's will, or whatever.

[ Good for Aventurine tbh ]

[tactic]

Or whatever.
