==> SI: Keep secrets [/size][/b] What happened to your honesty policy? Anguis apparently hurt Lofora, you're not sure how she'd take if you told her that you recently became friends with the olive blood. You realize that you probably shouldn't have tried to crack a joke, not with Lofora anyway. God, you wish you were better at this shit.
[/justify][/size] SLAIER: Lofora, what do you and I have in common? SLAIER: We both live under the sea! SLAIER: But I'm God Tier. SLAIER: I've already died once, nothing you can do to me would be of any use. SLAIER: And what's the point of lashing out at others? SLAIER: I'm not going to say anything to anyone, mostly because I'm positive that Caegar still wants to slowly peel the flesh from my bones and eat it. SLAIER: It's the curse of the delicious.

==> Lofora: Spill.
Slumped on the ground with an arm in the air, still held there by Slaier, you groan when he cracks another joke. It hurts when he says you're not god tier. You're already aware. But fuck if it's hard to stay so serious with this jackass. As evidenced by your position, you fucking gave up. In doing so, you begin transferring a similar amount of pain as before.

==> SI: Advise [/size][/b] Days without a fuck up: 0 You reflexively gag as Lofora begins channeling pain into you, but you remain resolute. You will not fucking let go of the hipster. You honestly thought that you'd never have to do this. And then it occurs to you that you have one small piece of advice to give, but it's fucking stupid, and you know it's going to make her mad or feel worse, something. You just know that you have to do everything in your power to resolve the problems Lofora has laid before you.
[/justify][/size] SLAIER: I know you don't want to hear this, but I'm going to tell you anyway. SLAIER: I know what you're feeling. SLAIER: So I'm not going to tell you that it gets better, it doesn't. You're going to be hurting for the rest of your life. SLAIER: So, just remember, that you can still choose to numb yourself to other things. SLAIER: Flesh is weakness, bonds are weakness, you can always choose not to care. Ever again. [/spoiler]

No. No, fuck that. You're not going to give up everything that makes you yourself. You shakily stand up and move yourself inches away from Slaier's face. If he stuck out his tongue he could taste your blood. You make damn sure this message gets through to him.

==> SI: Snap [/size][/b] At Lofora. Like a rabid barkbeast. You release Lofora's hand and grab her forearm. Sure it hurts, but you're pumping your aspect right back at hers. You wanted to help, but she just had to get bitchy with this self pity. This child doesn't know what pain is, she's just angry, she doesn't even know what loss means. And then, to top it all off, she dares to condescend to lesson given to you by your ancestor? Fuck that. You have to set her straight.
[/justify][/size] SLAIER: Do not. SLAIER: Do NOT talk about that great man! SLAIER: Not unless you're going to honor his name with the infinite praise he deserves! SLAIER: Our ancestors, together, caused Alternian society to flourish in ways no one ever thought possible! SLAIER: The reason we're not moirails when they were is because you lack the desire to be the dominant species! SLAIER: Two trolls, Lofora, TWO, they took over Alternia and made it better than anyone could have hoped. SLAIER: They never pitied themselves, they never looked back and cried, because they gave zero fucks about trolls that weren't beneficial to them. SLAIER: Friends discarded, thrown to the side, executed, and not one did they look back and wonder if it was worth it. SLAIER: That's the reason I came to you first. I thought you would understand. SLAIER: But, you're too caught up in all of this self loathing to se anything. SLAIER: I'm not very smart, and I'm good at one thing, and I live with the pain of having killed Kamari every fucking day of my life. You don't know what pain is Lofora Salema. SLAIER: That great man did, and he dedicated the last years of his life to eradicating it's ghost from his heart. SLAIER: I wont let you belittle him by casting his wisdom aside. [/spoiler] You stop to catch your breath. You always get worked up when it comes to your ancestor, you have no idea why. You just feel this incredible compulsion to defend him at every turn, because you KNOW he was right.

You've forgotten was being frightened is. Sure, when he grabs your forearm it hurts, but you don't care. It's just something to focus on for a moment before the general torture continues. You let him have his moment.
Then you let him have something else.

You hope Slaier punches you or whatever the fuck he's gonna do. The worst he can do is kill you, and even then you're not so sure that death is unwelcome anymore. It's not like he can put you in any more pain than you're already in.

[/justify][/size] SLAIER: You fucking hypocrite. SLAIER: This matesprit you're so worried about losing? SLAIER: That bitch is the same as HER fucking ancestor! SLAIER: A monster. You know how I know that? Because she was one of the last one's standing before Skraid brought Alternia to it's knees. She was one of HIS chosen. SLAIER: But you don't care, you're blinded by these emotions that hurt you. SLAIER: I've cast away everything but my love for Kamari and my respect for OUR ancestors. Even Caegar's. The rest of you have deviated from the path of greatness we were put on. SLAIER: I can't even begin to understand how you think this blatant insubordination and fraternization isn't going to get you killed. SLAIER: Redrom, blackrom, it's all attachment. You told me yourself that Caegar might kill you for it. Look at that, you're more in danger from your own lover than you are from me. SLAIER: That's the difference between me and those ungrateful fucks, I wont kill you, I'll hurt you, but I wont kill you. Not YOU. SLAIER: You're far too fucking important, do you understand that? You might not like it, but you are. You're are motherfucking integral to my plans, if you fuck that up and die, I can't guarantee that I WONT kill the rest of them. SLAIER: After all, there wont be any hope left after that. [/spoiler]

[/justify][/size] SLAIER: Die here? SLAIER: You think I'll die here? Nonsense. SLAIER: I'm going to kill Jack Noir! SLAIER: With that motherfucking human, Alex! I'm degrading myself constantly to build allies on the other side, because you are fucking retarded! SLAIER: I'm going to tear him apart and dance in his innards! SLAIER: AND THEN I'M GOING TO CONQUER THE HUMAN'S UNIVERSE! SLAIER: The reason I need you, is because you're our LIFE player. SLAIER: Your sole function is to keep us healthy for the final fight. SLAIER: Only when Jack Noir's guts are around me do you have my permission to die. SLAIER: Just think about dieing a moment sooner. Think about what I'd do to your matesprit, to your scandalous black romance partner, to your moirail. SLAIER: He might stop me for a moment, but this body can take a lot of punishment, and rage is a powerful fuel. SLAIER: I can keep fighting for DAYS without stopping, just letting the rage hold this fucking body together. SLAIER: Do NOT fuck this up. I WILL ensure our survival, that is a goddamn promise.

You know you're already right. You could tell him he's delusional if he thinks he can take on Jack. At this point, it's about hurting him. If he breaks down, getting to him will be easier.

You know damn well he won't. Caegar motherfucking Endsie won't just die like a bitch. Nobody will. Especially because Slaier won't kill you, another interesting tidbit you're sure you're going to keep in mind for the rest of your time on the meteor. You'll just be Caegar's backup, even if she hates you completely non-caliginously.
You suddenly don't give a fuck that you're seriously thinking about how to kill the heir-to-be of the Alternian throne.
It must be the lack of a throne.

It takes a lot to hold back the bottomless pit of rage that fuels what little emotion you have left, you're not just letting every leak go about it's business. Lofora doesn't get it, she doesn't understand why you do things, because she only barely understands herself.
[/justify][/size] SLAIER: I don't intend to fight Jack alone. SLAIER: I told you this. I need GOD TIERS. SLAIER: Unfortunately, you aren't ever going to be as effective as I would like, but I'll take what I can get until the human's life player arrives. SLAIER: Of course, Lofora. Of course I'd kill her. SLAIER: And I'll kill you too when you cease to be useful to my ends. SLAIER: You think you can get to me by bringing up Kamari's death? SLAIER: My lusus would have killed her if I hadn't, we've been over this. SLAIER: Would you like to allocate the other twelve trillion deaths on Alternia alone to me as well? [/spoiler] You bring out your scythe, the big one, she's seen it before, but you're not sure if she SAW it properly. You show her the head of your scythe, where the armor that protects the base of the blade meets the shaft. It's small, but it's there, a brand, a pile of bones arranged like a star.
[/justify][/size] SLAIER: Marier Salema believed that the powerful should go to every extreme to do what they had to. SLAIER: She was insane, yes, you're right. SLAIER: But she was brilliant. SLAIER: She gave my ancestor another chance at life, and by that act saved my life. SLAIER: Did I ever tell you that? SLAIER: Skraid Stingo became immortal due to his mechanical body, I met him once, he killed another tyrian blood that attacked me. SLAIER: Do you understand now, why I take these great trolls so seriously? SLAIER: I owe them my life. [/spoiler]
