Maki: Ah. Maki: See, there you go. Maki: That's exactly the thing I just said you did too much. Maki: You're a "hero", so you can just avoid my question, or act like it doesn't apply to you? Maki: That's not how it works, you know.
Maki: Too bad. Maki: Real people hurt sometimes. Real people need to protect themselves, and look out for their own interests, and what they want. Maki: I'm working on it, myself.
☾LUMIN✩RY☄OF☄THE☄ST✩RS☽: I dunno where any of this is comin from harumaki ☾LUMIN✩RY☄OF☄THE☄ST✩RS☽: or what I did to piss you off ☾LUMIN✩RY☄OF☄THE☄ST✩RS☽: if youre upset about the A thing you should just tell me! ☾LUMIN✩RY☄OF☄THE☄ST✩RS☽: but if its not that then you should tell me what it is so we can fix it!
Maki: I'm not upset about the A thing. Maki: I just told you very explicitly what the problem was, with words you typed, right here. Maki: But I did say I wasn't interested in forcing the topic at the moment. Maki: So we can leave it at that.
☾LUMIN✩RY☄OF☄THE☄ST✩RS☽: ?? ☾LUMIN✩RY☄OF☄THE☄ST✩RS☽: I answered both your questions...right? ☾LUMIN✩RY☄OF☄THE☄ST✩RS☽: do I agree with A about us all bein liars - we don't see the unit the same way! ☾LUMIN✩RY☄OF☄THE☄ST✩RS☽: how do I protect myself - depends on what Im protectin myself from ☾LUMIN✩RY☄OF☄THE☄ST✩RS☽: I dunno how to say it any differently!
Maki: Okay, if it depends, then give me an example. Maki: And don't try something stupid like "punching people who attack me." That's not how you meant it when you were talking about AlcheME.
☾LUMIN✩RY☄OF☄THE☄ST✩RS☽: uh ☾LUMIN✩RY☄OF☄THE☄ST✩RS☽: I mean Im really happy about that! ☾LUMIN✩RY☄OF☄THE☄ST✩RS☽: but I dunno that insulting me is the best way to show that...
☾LUMIN✩RY☄OF☄THE☄ST✩RS☽: I said I was thinkin about it, jeez! (...)
(...) ☾LUMIN✩RY☄OF☄THE☄ST✩RS☽: AlcheME protects ourselves by not givin away more than we can afford, and we all got different ideas about what things cost or what were payin with. (...)
(...) ☾LUMIN✩RY☄OF☄THE☄ST✩RS☽: I dunno what problem you think youre solvin here, but it seems like you want a really specific kinda answer ☾LUMIN✩RY☄OF☄THE☄ST✩RS☽: Hope that helps you out
Maki: Yes, I want a specific answer. An answer about you, and what you don't think you can afford giving up. Maki: To me, especially. Maki: Which you still didn't answer. Which is fine. I get it. Maki: Enjoy your date.
☾LUMIN✩RY☄OF☄THE☄ST✩RS☽: harumaki! ☾LUMIN✩RY☄OF☄THE☄ST✩RS☽: I ANSWERED that question! Its not one size fits all, I told you that!!! ☾LUMIN✩RY☄OF☄THE☄ST✩RS☽: I dont know what kinda example I can give thats gonna satisfy you ☾LUMIN✩RY☄OF☄THE☄ST✩RS☽: like you want an honest answer but youre makin me guess at the question ☾LUMIN✩RY☄OF☄THE☄ST✩RS☽: if you wanna know how Id respond to somethin YOU GOTTA ASK THAT THING (...)
(...) ☾LUMIN✩RY☄OF☄THE☄ST✩RS☽: and dont say "enjoy your date" when what you mean is "screw you"
Maki: I DON'T mean "screw you"! Maki: If you can be more honest with each other than you can with me, that's probably good for both of you. Maki: But don't act like what I'm asking is so confusing. I just asked you for a personal example and you gave me a gereric answer about AlcheME overall. You can't even pick ONE TIME you felt vulnerable and tell me about it. Maki: It would be less annoying if you were like Intensity and just made transparently false statements about your total lack of weaknesses, or acknowledged them but outright refused to tell me.
☾LUMIN✩RY☄OF☄THE☄ST✩RS☽: see! ☾LUMIN✩RY☄OF☄THE☄ST✩RS☽: this is the first time youve said "tell me about a time you were vulnerable" ☾LUMIN✩RY☄OF☄THE☄ST✩RS☽: "how do you protect yourself, but not with your fists" is a totally different and way more confusing question! ☾LUMIN✩RY☄OF☄THE☄ST✩RS☽: that's what I mean by you gotta tell me what you want ☾LUMIN✩RY☄OF☄THE☄ST✩RS☽: anyway (...) ☾LUMIN✩RY☄OF☄THE☄ST✩RS☽: you remeber the tournament?
Maki: I still think you're being deliberately obtuse. You're the one who started talking about AlcheME "protecting themselves." You know what you meant then, and it wasn't about fists. Maki: But yes. I remember the tournament.
☾LUMIN✩RY☄OF☄THE☄ST✩RS☽: I switched to that cause I could tell I wasnt gettin it and it was pissing you off! ☾LUMIN✩RY☄OF☄THE☄ST✩RS☽: Anyway, I dunno if I told you what I ended up doin... ☾LUMIN✩RY☄OF☄THE☄ST✩RS☽: But I had JUST FINISHED tellin the rest of AlcheME I was gonna fight for them and protect them, and that they should put more into protectin themselves ☾LUMIN✩RY☄OF☄THE☄ST✩RS☽: And then we had that game! ☾LUMIN✩RY☄OF☄THE☄ST✩RS☽: And B and C were there and theyre not the kind of guys that should be anywhere near a fightin tournament you know?
