She just told me she didn't want to die. "Even if it's painless, or we get revived right away." And, now you tell me she has a "explode on death" bomb, and it makes complete sense.
...Do you need a bribe? Or an emotional appeal? Because, I can give you either. I can offer fruit. I can tell you I never regretted jumping in front of you that day, for even an instant...
I went into the world tree and tried to remove all traces of myself from the world. It didn't work as I hoped it would, but it removed all collective memory of me and what I had done.
That last ritual where we 'thought' it was going to turn ugly, but then didn't...
It was very awkward. At the very start of the ritual when people were deciding who to 'hit,' thinking it would be to hurt or at least main, suddenly everyone in Rose is doing the usual process of elimination. They were saying "we can't hit Lily, or Daffodil, or Bluebell..." and, well, that's leaving very few flocks we can 'hit'. And someone is asking me 'Do you want to say Clover is off limits?' and... it's very hard to say "please disregard your dear friends who you know from your own world, even before the pasture."
...but I won't consider it a betrayal if Rose ends up hitting us. I'd rather that didn't happen, but we tend to hit Rose over other flocks ourselves. It'd be hypocritical of me to demand that of you.
[ "angie is a liability" is what he takes out of that ]
Well, regardless... Rose tends to be rather aloof, don't they? You don't have to worry about pushing our little "alliance" over whatever else they have going on.

Far be it for me to say who you can and cannot kill...
Can you do anything but outright kill her, in the future? Even if you know the eye is shut?

Date: 2024-06-17 05:34 am (UTC)I'll avoid her if I can. I'd even apologize for the arm thing if Rose hadn't gotten their revenge on me very quickly with your little stunt.
I think we're even. I have no desire for vengeance, if that's what you're afraid of.

Date: 2024-06-17 08:49 am (UTC)I was definitely afraid of vengeance. "The creeping fear of dread..."

You and I really are a lot alike... more than I ever could have thought.

I know making these promises are dangerous, but as much as I can, I won't betray you.

Date: 2024-08-20 07:28 am (UTC)You've always 'felt' like the 'leader,' you know? Not just a 'might makes right,' way, but also in a 'planning' way.
That's not exactly how Rose works.
no subject
Date: 2024-08-20 11:04 pm (UTC)I was aware that Rose was a bit of an outlier when it comes to group dynamics, though.
no subject
Date: 2024-08-21 03:31 am (UTC)To put it mildly.
no subject
Date: 2024-08-21 08:25 pm (UTC)...she doesn't seem like the type to want to lead, no. I've gathered that much. Admittedly, no one Rose really seems like the taking charge type.

I'd say if not Levi, the next likely would be Belle.

...I certainly am unlikely to protect Rose.
