[X] Refuse

We may be ~10 years off from L-Corp's grand designs, but like that's stopping us from reaching Colorhood our own way.
 
[X] Refuse

The moment we stop caring is the moment we die.

Climbing to the top for its own sake will not make us happy, after all.
 
Hmm. I kinda wonder about the timeline where Maria and Elena meet.
It was the one timeline where Ciel could have gotten out of meeting Elena without someone dying.
Also I expected roland to do this shit. But I guess angelica is the intel color.... though It does makes it so that her supposed 'hidden identity' as the black silence get muddy.
What do you mean with 'hidden'? Why would that be a secret and where does it say that?

... Oh, I understand the game wrong. I thought it was about People in the city don't know who black silence is, but they are actually talking about they don't know which one of the couple survived, sorry. My bad.

Rose stayed frozen in fear, didn't she? :cry:

Hearing her name snaps her out of her funk for long enough to hiss instructions at her: "I'll distract her, use that device and run."

Rose hiccups and nods almost imperceptibly; you hope against hope that nothing gave it away and stand,

Oh god, she heard us! The most difficult part is past! She is the one with the highest chance of survival at this very moment!

Far too soon a terrified shriek shatters the silence behind you,

No! Rose!

Elena decided to go for her first… shit!

She did not mean five seconds times a thousand, she meant five seconds while sped up a thousandfold

Fuck, the thought did cross my mind and was discarded.

This means that all the plans about using the device where worthless.

Wort part is, it makes more sense why she hid now, of course if she had five thousand seconds to run left she wouldn't have stayed in a crate while terrified….


This empties out your wallet for good

And since it's almost certain we're not going to get paid due to falling the job, this puts us in the red financially.

I really should have pushed for saving Rose more….

my idea was that you take the client and run while I distract her.

I.Was.Right.

I told it, I told people that Giano was perfectly ok with us leaving with Rose, I told that trying to save both was not going to work, I told that, but no, somehow, being able to read cause and effect and the motivations of characters is a logical fallacy.

"I probably don't need to tell you that you messed it up, do I?"

Guess the ones who were against joining Hana are happy now, we just failed our chance to join one of the best way to notoriety and power we could have had, one we have been working on for some time now, but hey, it's not like it matters!

Yes, I am salty, thank you.

Her father was her only living relative, so there's no one left to sue you over breach of contract.

Thanks the prescripts for small mercies.

while an odd feeling begins to course through your body..

*Panic*

Given Maria was maybe something related to the Queen of Hatred, that little thing is sending so many alarms in my head right now.

It seemed like her eyes had discoloured, pitch black from sclera to pupil like a pair of yawning abysses.

Nevermind the *maybe* from before… *takes a big breath* aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhjhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Parvati points it out in the evening before you realise there is a hairclip attached to your head now; a black heart in deep pink casing, sitting snugly in place and resisting any attempt to remove it.

What were the effects of QoH's gift again? Forgot.

From what I studied so far, they're probably going to dock your pay.

Called it.

"Although I think encountering a Star of the City and living to tell the tale may get you a promotion."

The EGO gift, the promotion, well, there are enough silver linings to lift my mood.

Now, since we have an EGO gift, wonder if it can allows us to obtain our own EGO? Kali did it with a weapon, why not with that?

Everybody looks, all noise extinguished, as a woman with pale hair moves past them with nary a glance. She is dressed immaculately in a fine, dark suit, making not a single sound.

Canon character met: N+1

It is way too soon for it, since they only get grade 1 from what I remember, but I have a new objective, and it's this office.

At the point its familiarity registers, the Purple Tear has already come in.

What the fuck with that day?

You know the partial joke I made about us going for green for luck as a color? Yeah, I am considering it very seriously right now.

"Three times you had to choose between your objective and another, and three times you chose others. You should stop sabotaging yourself like that, sometimes you need to step on others for another step along your own path. It will always go the same way, won't it? You work with another, time passes, you grow attached, and you sacrifice progress for their sake in one way or another. So won't you give up on them in favour of yourself?"

I so want to say *thank you Iori*… but that's a freaking test, she wants our answer, doesn't she?

Well, if that's the case, may as well go full tilt, we will walk like someone that saves everyone till they walk like us.

Its honestly pretty rich to hear that from Purple Tear. But we don't know that IC.

That's because it's almost certainly a test, she wants to see our nature, and I think it's too late to go cold killer, we have established we care, now we should stay on track, nothing good comes from changing ways on these kind of things.

Also Naron, I know you will say it, but, yes, we are predictable.
 
Far too soon a terrified shriek shatters the silence behind you, the place too far away to be seen already.
Noooo, she was starting to get some character development. I thought for sure we would be the more tempting target. What happened?
she meant five seconds while sped up a thousandfold. She barely could have crossed a street with the charge she had left.
Oh, yeah that would do it. Damit, now I kinda wished we saved Rose, Giano was a fixer and knew the risks, Rose just got in over her head in a situation she should have never been a part of. I know one of them was probably going to die there, but having it happen like this leaves me with a bad aftertaste.
It seemed like her eyes had discoloured, pitch black from sclera to pupil like a pair of yawning abysses. But it must have been your mind playing a trick after the day you had; the odd feeling her touch elicited is gone as well.
Okay sadness mostly gone, now back to worry. Not sure if this is conformation or just another red herring.
The morose thoughts make it take until Parvati points it out in the evening before you realise there is a hairclip attached to your head now; a black heart in deep pink casing, sitting snugly in place and resisting any attempt to remove it.
Nevermind, worry confirmed. Oh dear, this makes things interesting.
"May I bother you for a minute?" she asks with a soft voice that belies the danger, but you can only nod dumbly. The woman's lips quirk up for a moment as she takes an empty chair, black-gloved hands folded in her lap. "I am Angelica, Grade 1. Color of the Black Silence."
...No, wait, calm down. She's probably just here to ask about the Star of the City we just fought. There's been a lot thrown at us today, but that's no reason to panic. This situation isn't that unexpected.
Giano just stares bug-eyed as a second Color graces you two with her presence within a single hour.
*inhales*aaaaaaAAAHHHHHHHH WHAT IS TODAY? Did we piss off the Will of the City that much when we burned the Prescript? I feel like we're going to get mugged after leaving this bar solely due to people thinking we're important because of who interacted with us.
"Those attachments of yours," she finally starts, gentle as can be. "You should discard them."
Oh, nevermind, this actually makes me feel a lot better if this was why she came here. Speaking of...

Daga... kotowaru. Pick your meme to describe our answer, but the end result is still the same. We've come too far to go full City mindset now, and even then all that road leads to is tragedy. Though we might walk the much more difficult path, we willingly choose to do so in the hopes that one day we can reach the happy ideal at the end. To change now would basically be spitting in the face of all the things we did up till now.
 
She did not mean five seconds times a thousand, she meant five seconds while sped up a thousandfold. She barely could have crossed a street with the charge she had left.
Elena lets your husk lie and wipes her mouth, then turns to where Rose is just turning the street corner.
Interesting, so the time was consistent between people. I knew our needless death had useful information! 5 milliseconds real time really is not a lot, huh.

there is a hairclip attached to your head now; a black heart in deep pink casing, sitting snugly in place and resisting any attempt to remove it.
This confirms it. It's not even someone cosplaying with her gear, it's Queenie herself (unless an EGO corrosion can result in an exact copy). What the hell is she doing out of containment? I'm not complaining though, hopefully being in the City means she never has to meltdown.

Now, since we have an EGO gift, wonder if it can allows us to obtain our own EGO? Kali did it with a weapon, why not with that?
I feel the influence from only a gift is too small unless we collect a large number of them.

It's our duty in the name of love and hate.
 
I just had two thoughts about the update:

First, what could Iori wants? it could be like someone said, she's there because she sees us going the same way as her and thinks it would be better for us to go back, but I doubt it, and I have a big feeling that we should refuse even disregarding being a good person. Why? Well, she could be testing us, that much has been established, but there is another element than simply our moral character on the line here, simply put, refusing means disagreeing with a color right in her face, a color we admire at that. Refusing basically means that Ciel is ballsy enough to do this, that taking the steps is possible because they will try, they will persist, if we can do that, we have already taken one big jump towards being a color, it means shaking up the disease of the mind all on our own.

The second thing is far more important: I know it is probably too soon compared to canon, what with Elena being the moment they really hooked up together, but I can't help but think that you missed a joke, @Naron, you could've had the update just like it is, but have the number of canon characters met jump by two instead of one. As for why, I am sure you can guess. :V

That would have been funny, yeah. But as you said, too early for that. Not to mention that the mask does not make him invisible or undetectable, it just makes people unable to discern anything about him.

Well, yeah, but given how much attention we gave to angelica, do you think we would have seen *generic guy number 4054064* enter after her?

Edit:

Also, I still think that the guy is able to be close to undetectable if he wants to, what with the mechanic in his fight where he *gives* all his attacks to his wife, almost as if you were unable to see that it is him that is killing you, which is reinforced by the art on his cards showing him being right at her back, but her cards not showing any traces of him, despite being the same scenes.

Fair point. Though I mostly meant that he would have said something if he were there as part of the investigation.

Sorry granny, we're gonna keep on repeating the mistakes you yourself made.

...Is she doing this because the timeline in which Ceil died to save others is still canon, and she witnessed it? Among other bad ends?

A life without any bonds is like a well without water. It's there for a purpose, but it is here without one. To forsake what had been your treasures is to forget and abandon them with no remorse.
 
There's no world in which anyone votes 'Agree' here.

Which actually kinda says something, considering the last Quest was piloting Binah. Guess we got all the sociopathy out of our systems, eh? I certainly did.
