(...) ☾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?
☾LUMIN✩RY☄OF☄THE☄ST✩RS☽: Kinda focussin on the insignificant details there harumaki! ☾LUMIN✩RY☄OF☄THE☄ST✩RS☽: So anyway I knew that they were probably both gonna throw the game if they could ☾LUMIN✩RY☄OF☄THE☄ST✩RS☽: Thats their thing, Bs especially, and I hate it but we dont tell each other what to do most of the time ☾LUMIN✩RY☄OF☄THE☄ST✩RS☽: Since we all got split up, I figured if I was gonna protect them like I promised the only way I could do that was to make sure AlcheME won ☾LUMIN✩RY☄OF☄THE☄ST✩RS☽: since theyd at least get all healed up you know?
Maki: It's significant because the problem isn't their physical fighting ability, it's that B is incapable of standing up for himself and C is self-destructively spiteful. Maki: It's good of you to want to help them.
☾LUMIN✩RY☄OF☄THE☄ST✩RS☽: Sure but the specific kinda tournament it was doesnt really change my story either way you know? ☾LUMIN✩RY☄OF☄THE☄ST✩RS☽: And of course I wanna help them theyre my team and theyre good to me ☾LUMIN✩RY☄OF☄THE☄ST✩RS☽: Most of them ☾LUMIN✩RY☄OF☄THE☄ST✩RS☽: C is a gremlin
☾LUMIN✩RY☄OF☄THE☄ST✩RS☽: Thats a different story tho ☾LUMIN✩RY☄OF☄THE☄ST✩RS☽: Anyway ☾LUMIN✩RY☄OF☄THE☄ST✩RS☽: My first match was Loki on SensitIV. He was actually the first SensitIV I met and that was my first time meetin him!
☾LUMIN✩RY☄OF☄THE☄ST✩RS☽: Well, so ☾LUMIN✩RY☄OF☄THE☄ST✩RS☽: I told him I wasnt gonna give up easy ☾LUMIN✩RY☄OF☄THE☄ST✩RS☽: And he said he wasnt give up either (...) (...)
☾LUMIN✩RY☄OF☄THE☄ST✩RS☽: And he had a sword and his unit skills ☾LUMIN✩RY☄OF☄THE☄ST✩RS☽: This was before I had any skills
☾LUMIN✩RY☄OF☄THE☄ST✩RS☽: Found a way to keep ny promise, of course! Like I could do anything else! ☾LUMIN✩RY☄OF☄THE☄ST✩RS☽: I told him I wouldnt bother to fight and let him just go, IF!! He promised hed heal up AlcheME after the tournamnet won ☾LUMIN✩RY☄OF☄THE☄ST✩RS☽: That way... ☾LUMIN✩RY☄OF☄THE☄ST✩RS☽: Even if I couldnt beat him ☾LUMIN✩RY☄OF☄THE☄ST✩RS☽: In a fight! ☾LUMIN✩RY☄OF☄THE☄ST✩RS☽: Right then ☾LUMIN✩RY☄OF☄THE☄ST✩RS☽: At least I could still do my best for them
☾LUMIN✩RY☄OF☄THE☄ST✩RS☽: No way! ☾LUMIN✩RY☄OF☄THE☄ST✩RS☽: I mean it turned out it was unnecessary cause AlcheME won ☾LUMIN✩RY☄OF☄THE☄ST✩RS☽: but I cared a lot more about gettin what I wanted over not dyin ☾LUMIN✩RY☄OF☄THE☄ST✩RS☽: And either way, regrettin it would just be a waste of time. If I didnt like how I handled it, then that means I just gotta prepare better for next time!
