[andexecutioner]

[......]

...Don't worry. If you win, I'll definitely keep you around for a while.

[seventhprogenitor]

[Awwwww.]

You do like me.

[How cute!!]

[andexecutioner]

You're not too bad, I guess.

[...He. Tried. Or something.]

[seventhprogenitor]

You're as bad as Isaac. Come now, you can say it! It isn't like it's against the rules to favor one person over another privately, since I'm not expecting anything from you.

[UNLESS YOU'RE FINALLY GIVING HIM A GODDAMN OF SILLY STRAWS.]

[andexecutioner]

No one here is as bad as Isaac.

[...juri of all things you could have just said

you are literally as bad as isaac]

[seventhprogenitor]

[of all the things]

Having spent a healthy amount of time with both of you, object of my affections, I can say with absolute certainty that you are.

[andexecutioner]

[Hmph.]

So are you ever going to tell me if you're serious or not with all of that affection crap?

[seventhprogenitor]

[And now he's embarrassed!!]

You don't believe me when I say that I couldn't be more serious? For shame, for shame~. I'm hurt. Wounded. My heart couldn't be more battered by your words.

[as flippant as always, jesus christ]

Whether I'm serious or not doesn't matter though, does it? I'm enjoying your curiosity quite a bit.

[andexecutioner]

It doesn't matter, no. Nothing's going to come of it either way.

[Just. Let him go back to playing around with one of those stupid little mice.]

You going to believe me if I say it's not you, it's me?

[seventhprogenitor]

Of course~! I have no reason to doubt you, after all, and I've always found you honest when you answer about what matters.

[... What matters in Juri's opinion, anyways.]

Besides, you don't have an interest in trite things like that. Have you always been so apathetic to others?

[andexecutioner]

Yeah, actually. For as long as I can remember.

[seventhprogenitor]

You don't think very much of others, then, and though it's unintentionally rude that's just how it is. Not born from arrogance, but from a simple lack of interest. It's no wonder you and I are such good of friends~.

[Besties even.]

What do you think of yourself?

[andexecutioner]

[Just...let him kind of stare at you for a moment, Ferid. Sort of like you've grown another head? What in the world.]

What do you mean?

[seventhprogenitor]

[it's a simple question juri]

Exactly as I've asked! When some people are given this question, they spiel off into how they think themselves a good person, a bad person, their perceived strengths and weaknesses... It's their time to either toot their own horn or throw a pity-party they hope others will pat them on the back about.

[andexecutioner]

[well, yeah, but.]

Do I really seem like the sort of person to do either of those things?

[...Anyway.]

Most people here think I'm a bad person - they call me a murderer, they blame me for their choices. And that's fine, they can think that all they want; when it comes to the question of whether I'm a good or a bad person, the fact is that I'm neither.

I wonder if I'm broken sometimes. I'm pretty sure I am. But other than that, I don't really question myself. I don't expect you to pat me on the back or anything for it, it's just objective fact.

I look down on humans because I'm better than them, though. That's also objective fact.

In general, though, I don't really stand around and think about myself and my place in the universe and whether I'm good or bad, right or wrong. I'm just Juri, that's all.

[seventhprogenitor]

You speak as if you're simply a tool... which I suppose in essence you are, seeing as you're the one who delivers the justice we ask of you. A machine doing its job.

[There's no exact tone behind his words; it's just an observation, picking up one of the mice himself and swinging it around by the tail.]

Machines that can't be fixed are scraped~. Aren't you worried that something like that might happen to you?

[andexecutioner]

[He's quiet for a moment at that, but he'll drag his attention over from the mouse he's playing with and looking over after a moment.]

I won't be. And even if I am...so what?

If I can't do what I'm here for, then there's no point in me existing.

[seventhprogenitor]

[Woooow.]

How pitiable~. Though seeing that in such a black and white way suits you perfectly, I wouldn't call you broken so long as you can do what you're supposed to do in life. [A pause; then, a correction:] What you're needed to do.

[He's like, hella broken compared to people with a sense of compassion and empathy, but then Ferid is too in that sense.]

...wow my grammar went to absolute shit in that last tag, i am sorry

[andexecutioner]

[He just shrugs.]

My life is a lot simpler than a lot of people make it out to be. If anything, people complicate things entirely too much - there's not a whole lot that matters out there in the end.

i didn't even notice i'm shit too

[seventhprogenitor]

What matters to you, in the end?

[While we're jiving with philosophical questions.]

[andexecutioner]

Nothing.

[...well, okay then.]

[seventhprogenitor]

[... alright then, juri, do you want to join the crew or something?? need some linkin park for your black soul??]

What do you think matters to others, based on the games you've overseen?

[andexecutioner]

[Nah, we're good.]

They seem really fixated on their relationships with people. Their feelings. Getting ahead in life by any means possible. Stuff like that.

[seventhprogenitor]

Simple human things. Charming to an extent, but predictable and boring nonetheless. Why can't they just do things for fun?

[because not everyone looks at murder and thinks "hmm yeah that seems like a good time" ferid]

[andexecutioner]

Hopefully this weekend's good for you, then.

Best of luck to you, by the way.
