WHO: many thistles and one wayward lily
WHERE: the forest
WHEN: day 9, after thistle completes their maid work

[so after a morning of doing laundry and grilling fish and catching armadillos. . . thistle and their "normie" lily are finally venturing out into the woods to track down the plan that can be molded into extra limbs]

[what will they find, who even knows. it's a mystery to everyone]

Comments

[literal_trainwreck]

I suppose that's my fault.

[spoken flatly, neither a boast nor an apology]

[survivaltricks]

[immediately]

Nah. They were always going to ride my ass, no matter what.

[a derisive snort]

That's all they're good for, anyway-- harassing some poor kid who just wants to live his life.

[literal_trainwreck]

Yes, I also found them... disappointing. I had my fun with them, but I never held any illusions.

[survivaltricks]

"Disappointing" almost feels like a compliment.

[compared to how HE feels]

. . . but hey. Maybe one day, people like Niijima-san and Zenkichi will be able to do something about that.

[literal_trainwreck]

If this "Wolf" has Persona abilities, he very well might.

Sae-san, on the other hand, will probably just end up tanking her career. It's not a system that can be fixed from the inside.

[survivaltricks]

I don't know about that.

[tilting his head towards Loki]

You know she quit her job as prosecutor, right?

[literal_trainwreck]

Ah, did that happen in the actual reality? That puts her in an even worse position, I should think.

But perhaps she'd take me on as a client, for old time's sake.

[survivaltricks]

Hn. You're not wrong. But I think it's more her calling than being a prosecutor ever was.

[a cheeky li'l grin]

If she offered, would you even accept?

[literal_trainwreck]

No.

[survivaltricks]

I thought as much.

[absolutely no surprise at that response. that's just everyday Loki]

[literal_trainwreck]

Good for her, though.

[survivaltricks]

Yeah. She's finally finding her way.

[he actually does seem happy about it]

She was my Judgment.

[curious head tilt]

Was she ever anything for you?

[literal_trainwreck]

...The same. I actually quite respected her early on.

[survivaltricks]

[his expression softens a bit]

Was there anyone else?

[besides himself and Sae]

[literal_trainwreck]

[incredibly darkly:]

The Tower.

But I'd rather not go into that.

[the others are still around, even if these two are presumably off to the side talking as they walk back]

[survivaltricks]

[oh. . .]

[Akira's expression darkens; Loki doesn't need to say anything else for him to understand]

. . . I had no idea.

[literal_trainwreck]

[shrugs]

[survivaltricks]

[he will leave the conversation there, then. TIME TO HEAD BACK]
