Like a game, or life being fucked? [ A beat. ] Both.

[grigori]

I imagine being in a game similar to this would imply that the second is also true.

[ shamsiel can't say fuck. ]

[bloodread]

[ Let Shamsiel say fuck! ]

It was true before that and true after, but yeah that's right too.

[grigori]

[ they can't!! ]

True before? Can I ask what you mean by that?

[ I can't believe they will just turn to dust when they try to say fuck. ]

...my mother was a deadbeat who couldn't hold down a job and my father was out of the picture. Get it?

[grigori]

[ i can...

and they'll frown at what akira says. ]

I do; that must have been so hard on you.

Like I said, life can be fucked up. [ He wants no sympathy and is probably allergic to it like the tsun he is. ] An easier life would have been nice I guess, but it taught me a lot.

[grigori]

It's one to look at it. I certainly wouldn't be able to relate to or understand the things you've gone through.

Well, not as deeply and only on the most surface of levels.

That's fine by me, I don't want to be friends. [ This is what being cynical, having no trust, and zero authority figures for most of your life does. ]

[grigori]

Oh.

[ ...


... ... they'll offer him a weak smile. ]

I understand. We don't need to be friends to be able to work together.

[ Nod. Shakes Akira gently. ]

Anyway, I'll let you know when I've done what you wanted.

[grigori]

[ shamsiel will give akira a bow. ]

Thank you. I'll await the next time we speak, then.
