Re: orv spoilers yaaaay

[epimone]

I remember enough to know you did it outside of the scenarios, too.

Re: orv spoilers yaaaay

[thefaultinthestars]

[shit]

So essentially you're saying literally nothing I can say or do will convince you that I'm not going to disappear again.

Re: orv spoilers yaaaay

[epimone]

The only thing you can convince me of—and already have, is that you cannot be convinced of anything other people could want for you.

[excuse you, reaches out to grab his jacket]

Then stop hinging everything on me being convinced.

[meets his eyes, not intimidated in the least.

but also he's yanking his sword back]

Re: orv spoilers yaaaay

[thefaultinthestars]

[god imagine him trying to be intimidating, he's just annoyed]

Obviously I don't know what my reasons were for the things I did that I don't remember and you won't tell me about. But people do things they aren't convinced of all the time.

Re: orv spoilers yaaaay

[epimone]

You're not making the compelling argument you think you are.

Re: orv spoilers yaaaay

[thefaultinthestars]

How many times did I get you to do something you didn't want?

Re: orv spoilers yaaaay

[epimone]

[wait, he actually has to think about this one]

Re: orv spoilers yaaaay

[thefaultinthestars]

I only have a few memories, but it seems like we're at odds more often than not. I was always trying to get you to go along with something or convince you of something you didn't see the point of, or even that you hated.

Re: orv spoilers yaaaay

[epimone]

And?

Re: orv spoilers yaaaay

[thefaultinthestars]

And I was right, wasn't I? If I hadn't convinced you or tricked you or overridden your decisions all those times, we wouldn't have gotten through the scenarios.

Re: orv spoilers yaaaay

[epimone]

This is not the scenarios.

Re: orv spoilers yaaaay

[thefaultinthestars]

Does that really matter?

I wanted something and I did everything I had to to achieve it. Including things you didn't want me to do. ...I can say I'm sorry but I can't say I regret it since I know it eventually got me the result I was after.

Re: orv spoilers yaaaay

[epimone]

It does matter, precisely because your methods are the same.

And unless you choose a different path for yourself, it will inevitably lead to the same result.

Re: orv spoilers yaaaay

[thefaultinthestars]

I already chose a different path for myself, the problem is you don't believe me. You've put yourself into a corner with no options because you don't believe in me and you don't believe in yourself.

Re: orv spoilers yaaaay

[epimone]

And you're the only one who seems to have a problem with it.

[his hands grow talons and cut through the dokkaebi coat and he grows a few inches taller as his feet burst out of his house slippers and then there is a tail that smacks the wall as it trashes]

Done actually

[thefaultinthestars]

You not having a problem with it doesn't make me the weird one! Why did we go through all of that to reach the end just so that you could go into the sequel as a sunfish again?!

[epimone]

[sir,

grabs Kim Dokja's hand to try and detach him, offering no comment.]

[thefaultinthestars]

[WELL THAT JUST MAKES HIM MADDER scales go up his face and his eyes turn gold

punches him

or tries to punch him anyway]

I'm trying to help you, bastard!

[epimone]

[the punch connects, but he barely reacts to it. maybe a little blood drips down from his nose?]

[thefaultinthestars]

[ugh

grabs his coat again]

...I'm not leaving you like this.

If you disliked the ending so much, we'll just make a better one this time.

[epimone]

You can do that.

[grabs his wrist, squeezing it hard enough to hurt, in hopes he'll let go]

I stopped being part of that story a long time ago.
