Is it now.

[jedies]

Then you must master you frustration. You cannot let it control you.

[dothelokimotion]

How can I?

[anotheroldsoldier]

There's nothing interesting about it. It was shit. I did a lot of terrible things. It wasn't my choice, but it was still my hands.

[anotheroldsoldier]

Then it's gotta be mind-control or brainwashing or somethin'. I can't believe he's just been a traitor all this time.

[ Jon rubs at his face. It's been a few months since then. Most of the nightmares have been silenced. And while his father isn't here to soothe Jon's nightmares, a part of him is relieved his father doesn't need to be around to see them. ]

If I was stronger, it never would have happened.

[spellslots]

The world's a real fucking weird place, maybe you will.

[It's not optimism, just... of all the things Taako has seen, this doesn't seem impossible.]

[dothelokimotion]

I don't think my world is quite that special.

[dothelokimotion]

I think I knew, though I struggle to believe such things.

[scholiast]

Why is that?

[franciscoramon]

No shit. Jesus, that's terrible.

[leatherdaddy]

You were that carrot-top...

[ A silence follows as Gladio puts the pieces together and realizes holy shit, a lot of things are starting to add up. He shifts uneasily. ]

Well, this is awkward.

[spellslots]

You're a fucking alien god from a world with superheroes, my dude.

[That's... pretty impressive.]

[smokedout]

[He just rolls his eye. He wasn't being fully literal, but he doubts the cripple cares an awful lot about poetic semantics.]

Just surprised you didn't pry about my wrists again.

[This honesty bullshit can suck his dick.]

[talentedscavenger]

I won't. [The words are murmured softly. Is this the point of being a Jedi? To be in control of your emotions at all times?

And they've been stuck in this lift for a while...and she's very much contemplating of trying to figure out what's wrong with it.]

[tempredmental]

[The problems of being an older teen in a cartoon mainly for kids that's designed to sell toys...]

I definitely wanted more.

[WOAH... TRUTH ELEVATOR STRIKES AGAIN. Keith coughed, shocked that even came out.]

[bunnyhopped]

[ Again, what she might have said under normal circumstances would have been something along the lines of, "You just need to become friends with me and not be a jerk," but what comes out instead is this: ]

I need mutual respect and at least a little bit of admiration. I mean, I'm a soldier fighting in a war and I hate it when people treat me like a kid.

[bunnyhopped]

[ Her brow furrows. ]

But you didn't have a choice, since you didn't know what he was. That doesn't make you evil, dude, that makes you a victim.

[latrodectus]

[ She doesn't look at him, can't. ]

But what if he was?

[dancingmd]

Well I mean...with the technology we have and the ways society has shifted in the past few centuries, capitalism has become... Outdated. We have Federation credit accounts if we need to interact with other societies that do use money but other than that... (She shrugs.)

[dancingmd]

How morbid!

[dancingmd]

[Of course it had to be him. She sighs inwardly, though she tries to maintain politeness, for Ciel's sake.]

That's right. I suppose Ciel told you?

[sweetlies]

Only a bit. He's always taken care of the Phantomhive family. We tend to die young.

[buildsomething]

I didn't really care at the time. [And Cisco's met that Tony, he can probably understand why.]

[franciscoramon]

Alright, next time I will ask you first, I promise.
