Far worse, huh?

[ she cannot quite imagine worse than this! but okay!!! ]

Uh, hangin' in there too. You know.

[peakfan]

[ ignores death for backtags ]

This one has seen much in his life. [ he's an old man after all!! and had [redacted] happen! nothing can surprise him now!


smashcut to tomorrow and sqq is staring into the middle distance like 'i don't know what i expected' ]

However, this one believes it is alright with the proceedings. It's quite a lot, isn't it?

[camena]

... Yeah. I've never had to do anything like this, so it's been—it's a lot.

[ 'seen much' WHAT DOES THAT MEAN. HAVE YOU SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS? ]

[peakfan]

[ listen he's from a stallion novel where the rules don't matter and god is an idiot airplane in a trenchcoat. he's Seen Some Shit. he sighs though, giving alex a gentle squeeze. sqq is gonna wake up next week in full asian snit of WHAT WAS WITH ALL THAT TOUCHING. anyway ]

If you wish to talk, this master will listen. If you are in need of quiet, this one will accompany you.

[camena]

[ alex truly has not consciously noticed the touching and just thinks everyone here is Pretty Friendly, Wow! ]

I could go for quiet.

[ ............... she says.

but then after like

a couple seconds. ]

Why couldn't we just... refuse to play the way they told us to? Why choose to erase someone when you don't have to?

[peakfan]

[ SHE DID IT. SHE REALLY WENT FOR IT. (sqq, you asked for this) ]

Doing the right thing and the easy thing... [ he sighs ] A question all must struggle with this teacher supposes. Do you play into the hands of those who wish you harm for an easier time or do you defy and hurt and struggle against it?


[ he's having an existential crisis now because uuuUuuuuuh he just realized has Feelings on this matter ]

[camena]

You struggle. Obviously. For as long as you have to, for as long as you can.

You don't just give up right away to make your life easier. Or better. Or to—to keep your life.

[peakfan]

[ he smiles, so fond. what a good girl Alex is ]

Ah... if only everyone thought such. Sometimes, it isn't as easy to look away from the easiest path when it protects yourself. [ LOOKS AWAY FROM HIS OWN THIGH HUGGING ERA. IT'S COOL HE LEARNED BETTER (doubt) ]

[camena]

I'm not saying it's easy.

[peakfan]

No, but it requires a will strong enough to look away.

[ and that, unfort is harder than it seems ]

[camena]

It doesn't matter. Just—wallowing in how hard it is won't make it less hard. It'll only make it harder.

[peakfan]

[ sometimes bitching about it the whole way is the only answer but ]

You have a strong will. [ he's v impressed. that's some serious protag energy she has ] When one is alone, many times it's hard- truly hard to stand up to such trials without support.

[camena]

[ oh yeah no don't get her wrong she WILL complain along the way. ]

Well. We're not alone.

[peakfan]

[ see this is why she's accidentally become his favorite of the younger. smart and grouchy. ]

At least we have that.
