*pretty much dropped the Dreamberry when the monster stuff showed up on the screen. He's got enough Issues regarding monsters as it is; he doesn't want to add anything else to his mind's store of nightmare fuel. He waits until the sounds are gone before daring to pick his up again to peek at it. It says Jinana on the screen there, though, and... and.... All right, so he isn't really sure what to make of this, but she's always been nice to him here. And if she's in trouble....*
*Going to argue that, because he's still being stubborn and trying very hard to not be a monster be in denial. Not that it always works or anything, but he's trying.*
...but you don't try to eat people. You're not like them.
Look, I don't... think you really get it. I'm not like them.
I don't push people around, claiming I just want to ask something, and then go hunting them down to scare the shit out of them before I kill them, when I don't like their answer, or they tell me they don't know anything. I don't go into someone else's territory and slaughter all their comrades and eat them. I don't go after people who haven't done a damn thing to deserve it!
Just because they haven't done it that you've seen doesn't mean they haven't done it. They tried to eat me alive when I got here, and even before that? They killed me. I lost all my officers to them, and then some, and then they killed me too.
And they're not even sorry about it! I mean-- so what if their strategist said something; Serph sure as hell never said a damn thing to me. Not once when he was here did he say anything about it! I think if he was at all sorry that he killed me and my Tribe, he would've mentioned it, but you know what the last

...I don't have many icons. >_> but he's still not actually yelling or anything....justwantsafetyNovember 10 2009, 04:27:54 UTC
I don't listen well.
I don't--
*pauses, at a loss as to what to say for a moment, before he sighs and continues again, quiet*
I don't listen? Why, because I won't trust Serph if he says he won't hurt me? Let's see, the first time he really proved me right, he killed me. The next time, he broke his word to Abel, but thankfully, no one ended up dead. I don't want to give him another chance at that, so okay, fine. I don't listen.
And yeah. I always did defend myself, and I'll still defend myself. If one of them tries to come after me or my comrades again, I'll shoot their damn head off. That's the whole point, Jinana. I don't trust them. I can't trust Serph, at least, and they all willingly follow him. That tells me something.
And even if they helped you out? They came into my base and slaughtered everyone. I don't care how you want to spin that, it's not defense. Defense is telling them to get the hell out of where they weren't invited, like I tried to do. And they killed me for it. So... so good for you, that you haven't had that

Jinana? Are you all right?

*well, she's holding the Dreamberry, and she hasn't been eaten alive or anything. She's in one piece. Uh... okay, maybe she is fine.*
It looked like....
*the roar and the... no, not going to think about it. Not going to.*

Like understanding their excuses is supposed to make me want to forgive them for all of that. Right.
I'll talk to you later, then. Glad your okay. I just... yeah. Later. *not exactly mad at her or anything, just frustrated as he hangs up.*
