[murderingjustice]

Afternoon everyone. This is Goro Akechi speaking.

We have come to find ourselves from a quite troubling situation. All thanks to acts of those from Rumpitur. I have heard the talk around the town about what should we do with them. Some of the people of Aldrip seem to be advocating for revenge, while others forgiveness.

Normally, I think the wisest choice of action would be leave the situation behind us and not to get involved in the politics of this world. But this is different. This wasn't a random attack or act of a beast, but carefully planned and intentional action against us. If we hadn't been successful in our rescue mission our numbers would have depleted no doubt. Who knows, the kidnappings could still be ongoing.

[He doesn't really care much for most of you. But this time they had hit where it hurt.]

What do you think, my fellow Chosen? Stay still and leave them be, potentially risking another attack. Or retaliate? Although, I believe it is important to remember that we still don't have all the details. Making this whole ordeal seem just more suspicious.

As for what I think? I believe something needs to pay for this.

Jinx, you're such a weirdo.

[ To be fair, this is extremely mild by Ange standards. ]

[opheliac]

hmmm hmm hmmmmm???? why? because i think killing a bunch of ants is stupid when theres something more bigger and fatter to take down?

dont get why my akechi friend got so mad at me when everyone else said almost the same thing as me!!! (つω`｡)

so this is the thanks i get for trying to be serious for once huh? OH WELL! guess ill go back to throwing bombs at the locals since killing ants is the way to go. want to join me?

[entreats]

[ Jinx, girl!! Read your own texts, look in a mirror!

Then again, Ange knows what Jinx is like enough by now that she figures the other might truly not get it, which is why she coolly points out: ]

He's getting mad at you because you're being rude to him.

[ Just. For your information and all. ]

Generally speaking, not teasing or taunting people makes you much more likely to get what you want from them.

[opheliac]

what? its rude to tell someone to NOT kill the nobodies but go after the head honcho instead? PFFFT OK!!!
then fine, kill all the snake people. i dont give a fuck either way. im sure SOMEONE will inhabit an empty town eventually. start the whole thing from scratch.

[entreats]

I'm not even necessarily speaking about your opinion itself.

[ Even if Ange doesn't fully agree with Jinx's opinion on a personal level, but-- look, it's not even the point she wants to address here for now, or they'll be here all day! ]

It's more the way you're saying it. Your tone. That's what's bothering him. You get what I mean, right?

[opheliac]

no.

[entreats]

[ .. Maybe she should've expected that answer.

It's not like Ange is really the queen and expert of social matters either - far from it.. so far from it.. - but Jinx sometimes seems like she's learned how to socialize from a bunch of feral toddlers. ]

Do you just not realise it when you're saying things that would make other people mad?

[opheliac]

i grew up living in a bar with bunch of drunk men and hussies.

my people dont really sugar coat crap. we say shit for what it is.

[entreats]

I'm not saying you have to lie. Or even that you have to be nice.

Just try saying things in a neutral way. That's what I do, and it only pisses people off when they'd get pissed off at me regardless of what I'd say.

[opheliac]

but i AM saying things in a neutral way!! ugh, what do u want from me?

[entreats]

I'm just trying to explain to you how to convey this in the sort of way that won't just piss people off and make them not want to engage with you on the matter at all.

Not like that helps me in any way, especially since I don't even agree with you. I'm being pretty selfless here, honestly.

[opheliac]

so u want them dead too, huh?

reaaaallly starting to question my friendship with u people.

[entreats]

Sure, Jinx. Of course me wanting these people to suffer a little for what they've done is so much weirder than all of the stuff you've said over the months.

[ Not that Ange even wants to actually go on a murder spree here - it's a little more nuanced than that - but she really doesn't even want to have explain that much in the face of this.

It's not worth the effort. ]

[opheliac]

yeah and have u SEEN me do any of the things that ive said?
notice the aldrags are still breathing.

[entreats]

You haven't seen me hurt anyone either yet.

But it's fine. I know we disagree on this, and neither of us is going to change the other's mind, so talking about it is useless. I was just telling you that you certainly aren't going to convince him either with a tone like that, that's all.

[opheliac]

yep! agree to disagree. are we still chums????????????

[entreats]

You'll never get me to use the f-word, Jinx.

No matter what kind of synonyms you're trying to use in its place.

[opheliac]

whatever u say, best friend
buddy
pal
ally
companion
sidekick

[entreats]

[ AbsoluTELY NOT, JINX!! She's not even going to dignify that with a response. Nuh uh. Bye!! She's out!! ]
