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.

1/3

[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.

[thefaultinthestars]

[break my arm, coward]

No. I'd let you out if you'd found something that makes you happy. But this is just the regression depression all over again

[epimone]

Let go.

[those bones sure are starting to make a light cracking noise]

[thefaultinthestars]

[winces because he does not have his wall so actually that hurts but his claws dig further into the fur of the coat]

I asked the Showmaster, you know. It's possible for you to return being one of the performers, so you can keep regaining your memories.

[epimone]

[snaps his wrist]

1/2

[thefaultinthestars]

[jesus christ this is why we need walls,

grabs him with his other hand to steady himself]

Shit-

[thefaultinthestars]

[he's panting from the pain, but still pissed off!]

You might as well use your sword. You're mad, right? I was a big disappointment, right? Go ahead and get your revenge. But just said you didn't want me to disappear, so why do you think you'd be able to get rid of me now??

[epimone]

[grabs his other wrist and squeezes again, a warning]

You're wrong. The disappointment was the rest of us.

[thefaultinthestars]

[tenses because this is going to hurt but he's not going to give up]

I'm disappointed right now.

I don't think you remember the entire story.

I think you got scared and quit.

[epimone]

Yes, those are all true. As is the fact that trying to shame me into agreeing with your narrative won't get you anywhere.

[crick... crack...]

[thefaultinthestars]

I know... damn well, the only thing that's going to get me anywhere--

[winces]

--is the only thing that ever got you anywhere.

I'm not giving up.

[his tail winds around Junghyeok's leg]

You can break my arms all day, that isn't going to change.
