evening 46

[ this, but once others have cleared out from the fountain ]

Didn't think you'd stay out here.

[ Akrinak was already out and about before the big guy dumped everyone else on the grass. Angie may have caught him looking thoroughly entertained at the sight ]

_{[ sighs. ]} I had an idea, didn't work. ...And I'm tired of losing. I'm putting my back into this one. If someone reads my mind right now, it'll just be of whatever I'm about to show playing out in the water, anyway.

Huh. When was the last time Rose won?

Re: evening

[finalbows]

<sub>[ tosses coin in, imbued with the last "pick a prize" win he personally remembers--

Jesus Christ I checked my extremely complicated Angel Devil's fucked up brain notes and
it's the secrets game ]</sub>

Re: evening 46

... You don't remember Minesweeper?

[ ig this counts for truth ]

Re: evening 46

[finalbows]

My line here clearly is "what's minesweeper," if you'll do the honors.

Re: evening 46

[catposting]

[ his tail flicks, amused ]

You want me to spend a coin on a ritual we won anyway?

Re: evening 46

[finalbows]

Or you can show me more of that cute redhead in your dark past.

Re: evening 46

[catposting]

There are two.

[ no comment on the dark past part. ]

Re: evening 46

[finalbows]

I was giving you options.

1/3

[catposting]

How generous.

[ he considers for a moment, twirling his festive coin between his fingers ]

I suppose there's-

2/3

[catposting]

[ perhaps he's getting old. perhaps there's just a lot on his mind; perhaps the whole Pandora ordeal shook him up more than he's admitted to even Angie.

or perhaps the sheep really are learning to be little shits.

either way, while he's contemplating, a green sheep deftly yanks his remaining Clover-themed memory coin out of his pocket, and tosses it into the fountain. ]

[ I'M RUNNING THIS AS A SUBTHREAD SO IT LOOKS PRETTY IN THE TIMELINE YOU CAN'T STOP ME ]

[ sometime later?? but before Angie's "couples spat" ]

-- Do you have "rage"?

Re: evening 46

[finalbows]

I have "Wrath." And "Chaos." Close enough?

Re: evening 46

[catposting]

Close enough.

[ shows him his cards, he almost has bingo ]

Re: evening 46

[finalbows]

Oh! You know what, I can show "rage" and "greed," as one, because I need the latter.

...
It is going to be... hm. Well.

Time to menace a child for our mutual profit~.

<sub>[ he produces a candy coin, tosses it in--

there's some lil jesters trying to perform a ritual on a six year old girl with a horn, but it's not working. The ritual circle they're using...

That's definitely the sigil from Angie's bedroom door. Where are they...? It looks like the bottom of a deep chasm.

A little furry critter soon pops up to protect the girl.

Angel Devil storms off, barking out,</sub> "Kill the runt! We're running out of time!" as the memory fades out. ]

ok sorry he's just gonna burst out laughing. what the hell Angie. ]

Re: evening 46

[finalbows]

It fits the criterion, dies it not?

Re: evening 46

[catposting]

[ still laughing, ]

It does. Thank you kindly, Angel Devil of Rose.

What do you need?

Re: evening 46

[finalbows]

Death, Chaos, Wrath. Take your pick. Honestly. I deserve more happy squares! I want to see more performances in other worlds, or beautiful sunsets, or something!

Re: evening 46

[finalbows]

I don't actually deserve more happy squares. I just want them.

1/2

[catposting]

Don't be silly. Of course you deserve more happy squares.

Hmmm. I need "Departure". One chaotic departure, coming up!

[ a mock sigh. ]

You're gonna call me a bully after this.

[ tosses a coin in the water. what he tries to show is the onscreen genocide scene of Yama's clan. ]

2/3

[catposting]

[ what actually plays is this.

he pales instantly. stops moving. stops breathing. he should stop this. he can, can't he?

he doesn't. maybe he can't bring himself to. he lets it play out in full. ]

3/4

[catposting]

[ tonelessly, as that stray beastkin steps on Nennen's corpse and the memory fades: ]

...

See? Told you it was a boring story.

Re: evening 46

[catposting]

I hope you win.
