002 - Dictated

[azuredemonic]

What is required to access the Castle Net?

[He thinks this is a perfectly sensible and legitimate question okay, shut up guys he doesn't use computers]

And the one who so chose to write at me when I first arrived, I will have you answer me again. However you opt to does not matter to me, only that you do.

...I did not claim it was not a long shot.

[ino]

[a soft sigh]

I guess you didn't.

Well, I don't have any idea what else might be hidden in there. Stuff that he had on him, like his swords and stuff, would have gone back with him.

[azuredemonic]

I trust you are not lying to me?

[ino]

I haven't lied to you yet. As you've seen.

[azuredemonic]

You will forgive me if I have difficulty offering any trust to one whom chooses to hide behind writing.

[ino]

I wouldn't mind talking if I trusted you not to put Yamato to my neck at some point.

[azuredemonic]

I doubt you would know anything worse than what one without such fear presented to me. You may ask her if you so care, as she still lives.

[ino]

I said "at some point".

Why do you want to know who I am so badly, anyways?

[azuredemonic]

Considering the rabble inhabiting this realm, you are all equally at risk of that and I make no apologies for it.

I wish to know those that knew me. Is that so bizarre?

[ino]

Has it ever occurred to you that being a little nicer might benefit you more?

[but she pauses at that ... yeah, she'd probably want to know, too. :c]

I guess not. But I don't think you'll like what you're going to hear.

[azuredemonic]

The concept is not a novel one, just a disagreeable one.

[Logic, the silent killer]

I have heard precious little I like since arriving. And again, I have yet to exactly my dislike on anyone.

[ino]

Sometimes you have to do things that are disagreeable, if you want life to go smoothly.

[logic parry?!]

Things went pretty badly last time.

[azuredemonic]

A pity I do not feel the need for such smoothness then.

[logic stagger!]

Then why associate with me in the first place? [And why do you know anything if it went badly?]

[ino]

[WELL, YOU'RE DUMB!!!1]

I think you might change your mind about that pretty soon.

Because I know what you're like when left to your own devices.

[azuredemonic]

[Real Mature Bradley Ino]

From the previous time that went particularly badly? I would suggest finding better instincts. Perhaps ones that are not your own.

[ino]

The hell is that supposed to mean? It has nothing to do with instincts.

[azuredemonic]

It means, quite frankly, that I find this whole charade annoying. You speak as though you know me with any sort of depth, and then you state how poorly our previous encounter has gone. You hint in one hand, hide in the other.

Needless to say, the convoluted nature of these conversations leave me with more and more doubt.

[ino]

[LOL. well then! talking like that, he might just find the truth so completely ridiculous that he wouldn't even believe it. ... and then she'd be off the hook. mostly.


welp, here goes]

We used to date.

[azuredemonic]

[...

......

. . .]

Is this supposed to be amusing?

[ino]

I told you you wouldn't like it.

[azuredemonic]

[Give him a second, he's thinking here.]

It sounds preposterous. It sounds positively foolish.

[ino]

[an amused sound]

Yeah, pretty much.

[azuredemonic]

[Even he can't fight a little bit of amusement at it. One hopes no one brings that up]

I now require a timeline to my visit here. How long was I here, where I could spill my deepest secrets and...engage with people in such a manner?

[ino]

"Engage"? You can just say it, you know.

[LMFAO TROLLIN'. but there's some page flipping while she checks for something ...]

About two years, I think.

[azuredemonic]

I'll pass.

[Two years?!]

I was here...for two years. Did I accomplish anything of note?
