I'm sure someone will clean it up.

[ Gojou says... Knowing. Because he has cleaned up before. ]

Nothing you're going to miss about this?

[probe]

[gluttony is going to eat both of them.]

No. [a ping of annoyance. most of pride's emotions are... distant.] I've never liked it here.

[mukagen]

[ may sebastian michaelis inflate their asses before he eats them. ]

Not even some of the people? You and Lust seem friendly.

[ But Howl's Moving Castle is for today! ]

[probe]

[oh good this mod's favorite is howl's moving castle so that's perfect.

pride just huffs.]

They're fine.

[mukagen]

[ i'm going to expect some pride thoughts on the ship then

There's some doubt with his eyebrow raise, but it disappears fast. It's movie time! ]

Will this guy get on your nerves...

[ HOWL JENKINS PENNNNDRAGOOOON and also looks into camera ]

[probe]

[THAT ART I'M LAUGHING

anyway, pride watches, and about halfway through:] You'd think a powerful user of the Art would be better at hiding.

[mukagen]

[ gojou's moving castle now. ]

Sometimes the strongest are the dumbest?

[ Does Pride get that? has Pride experienced that? ]

[probe]

[god, there's such a roll of annoyance and fondness all wrapped into one, at that.]

Well. That's not wrong. [he's thinking of someone very particular, eyes on the screen.]

[mukagen]

[ He snorts. ]

Seems like you pictured someone.

[ But they can keep watching. ]

I knew someone like that, too.

[probe]

Mm. [...] Who?

[mukagen]

My best friend, Getou Suguru.

[ Maybe not dumb in the sense that they're talking about, but... To Gojou he's dumb. It was all dumb and stupid. ]

[probe]

[they hum.]

Hadrian. [as an exchange. that's who they were thinking of.] Big and stupid. Had an idea, and did it in the worst way possible.

[mukagen]

But did the plans work out?

[ he doesn't know if he wants to hear a yes or no. the feeling is anticipation! and wonder. ]

[probe]

Eventually. But not in the way that he'd thought.

[mukagen]

At least it worked out? It’s funny when life takes twists and turns, but the results are the same.

A good ending?

[probe]

For him, yes.

[mukagen]

You two not friends?

[probe]

We are. [pride's just a bitch]

[mukagen]

[ Wowee Pride has a friend... ]

Then I guess that specific plan didn’t include your happy ending since... You’re here.

[ rip. ]

Are you ready to feed us all to the thing?

[probe]

[a long pause.]

If it means that I get what I want, I'll do whatever I have to.

[mukagen]

Yeah. Do what you have to do, Pride.

[ Gojou isn’t mad or offended since it’s reasonable. It makes sense. ]

I’m not sure what everyone will think, but there may be more options available for us all. It’s going to be tough, but I’ve already decided I wanted to see what we can do for you Avatars, the dead, and ourselves.

[probe]

[hmmm.]

There are nineteen of you. I'm sure you can come up with something. [leave them out of it!!]

[mukagen]

Awww, even a bit of faith from you is so sweet!

[ TOUCHES HIS OWN HEART. ]

[probe]

[a buzz of annoyance!! i forgot it was sunday still in this thread. there are eighteen of you.]

I have faith that you will all be stubborn.

[mukagen]

[ IT IS OK I UNDERSTAND I KNEW TIME IS ALSO ESCAPING ME ]

That's just another word for being confident.

[ ... ]

Or stupid. Sometimes both!
