what's the history between tenkohime and toraguma, anyways? or the enma and aaitengu.... our dear faction leaders seem to have a web of messy, tangled relationships, don't they?

ahat do you think happened? do you think tenkohime and toraguma were together but she left because he was... unsatisfactory? or is it something more or less mundane?

i'd be interested to hear what your thoughts are... it's not like we'll get any answers from them any time soon.

[Does he actually care about the truth? Absolutely not. He just thinks it would be funny.]

Not at all. For instance, if they tolerate this sort of insubordination, they deserve what they get.

[sicklysweet]

well, if they decide to punish me by killing me, they better make it stick. dying and coming back to life... i've already done that more times than i can count. it's a poor way to teach a lesson.

[itstillhurt]

And by openly admitting that on a public channel, you've invited them to find more creative ways to punish you if they were so inclined.

[sicklysweet]

yes? obviously? you don't need to spell things out to me like i'm a child. i'm well aware of what i'm getting into.

but i don't care. if they're going to torture me or force me to work until i collapse or they're going to pull all of my bones from my body and grind them to dust or whatever over silly gossip, that's fine. anything would beat the tedium of having to talk to people all day.

[itstillhurt]

And so here you are, striking up a conversation on the network.

You have fascinating priorities.

[sicklysweet]

what else am i supposed to do with my time? sit around and behave, do the work they want me to? absolutely not.

[itstillhurt]

If you're so unconcerned about consequences, why not ignore them entirely and simply find something more personally compelling to occupy your time, rather than goading them?

[sicklysweet]

well, this has brought me such fascinating conversations, so i think this was a good idea no matter what they do to me now.

[He's having a good time being an absolute nuisance, and he will never be sorry.]

[itstillhurt]

Glad we could keep you entertained. I'll remember this conversation fondly if you ever get banished to the wasteland for being deliberately irritating.

[Admittedly, trying to figure him out is an amusing diversion in its own right.]

[sicklysweet]

i'm sure you won't, but i hope you don't think this is the worst i can be.

[itstillhurt]

Such cynicism. Careful, you'll hurt my feelings.

[sicklysweet]

you have the practiced flippancy of a child, it's kind of cute.

["Cute" the way a fussy baby can be cute.]

[itstillhurt]

See, that's what I mean. Such needless hostility.

[sicklysweet]

what's hostile about wondering if you're acting your age? you're so touchy.

[itstillhurt]

You accused me of being flippant. It was very hurtful.

[sicklysweet]

that's nice, i'm sure you were totally hurt by that very mean thing i said, and you're not just trying to play along.
