[ Doing well with it, even though he doesn't like it... She may continue the dog petting. It's hard to reject something nice from a pretty girl, objectively, even without affection week. ]
Do monsters have a choice? I never really got an answer to that—or I guess I didn't ask since I assumed they don't.
[ To be possessed by an outside force makes it seem like choices aren't yours anymore? ]
Mm...I know Boothill and Aventurine were from the same place. So that might have influenced why he went after him. But Erin said she just set a trap and waited for whoever would come by and fall into it.
Maybe I'll ask the overseers if they've observed something different. They know who the monsters are, so...they might be able to help us get back on track.
[maybe? unclear. they may just tell her "we don't know" and shoo her off. petpet.]
...Gojo, have you traded your monster with anybody?
No kidding. That feels like a little bit of an understatement. [we are all sad, including aerith herself. but it is okay.]
Oh, that's kind of nice of you. [she can assume who. she does not say so.] ...I haven't yet really. Not at all. But if it'd help maybe we should swap. We're starting to get to a point at least some matches might be broken.
Let's hope the goats step up on some spirit-boosting activities this coming week or a lot of us are going to mope. I'd love some kind of sparring since the kid dropped and died on me. [ The wording... Could be nicer, but it shows enough that he did like Akabane in his own weird way. They were similar (is this good, is this bad).
He gives her a look... ] And it'd give some of us a break.
Sure, sure. The statistics of you and I being partners is very low, so! I'm a pixie.
If they won't, then it's up to us isn't it? [that sounds simple enough.] I'd offer you a sparring partner but he has a tendency to use his sword more than anything. But Lucas and I were thinking of maybe putting up a note on the board asking if people would be interested in teaching and learning self defense. If this is going to keep going...it can't hurt to consider it.
[but yeah. she knows. it's fine. anyway gojo says that and she does know that's true. the likelihood is very low, but it's made her hesitant. it makes her feel better that he's going first, and she actually laughs slightly.]
I can't say I was expecting that. You don't look much like a pixie.
Picnic where people try to kill each other gets a redemption. [ NO INSTEAD BRITT DIES ] Good with the amount of combatants we have. Suguru and I know hand-to-hand preeeetty well.
Something better. [can we just have a nice, normal day? no, we get so much bullshit instead!] If that's the case, then I'm gonna count on you both to help! It'll be good for you guys anyway. Keep you from being too bored, right?
[there's a smile.] I'm not laughing, promise. It's just kinda...cute? Cuter than whatever a Ditto is.
[ the mini-event will be haunted this w2 i'm sure ]
Okaaaaaay! Drag the other guys along, too! [ He sees. ] I'm curious about what a Ditto is in this context. When you go out of control, would you just turn into a purple blob?
...what a weird name. I guess that's okay though. Not like anything I've ever seen before. [a pause.] Can I ask the name of the monster you're looking for? I don't have to know who it belongs to, but maybe I can help.
It sounds kinda cute. [that is her takeaway here.] But good to know. If I find someone who's a qilin, you'll be the first person I tell. Or at least as best as I can.
