Better than 'time to let me go', that's just baiting for a tragedy at this point.
Spectral, you're assuming the end of the entire conversation I'm trying to kick off when in the opening statement I am saying "we have options". Which is exactly why I never elaborated on them in the vote. People would misinterpret it and needlessly divide the vote against 'give me up'. Which you have successfully done. If you don't like storing Medb to be recovered, you should have saved that for the next update.

EDIT: You didn't even change Rai's vote, you just tacked my ending on and thought it'd somehow come across anything else. That's just head-scratching.

No, I chopped the ending of Rai's vote off entirely and reworded the ending of yours to something less confusing.

I don't really agree. I fully expect Brie to reject it, but I'm hoping it gets the message of "I dont want you to suffer for me" across

I think there are better ways of getting that across, and that ending the vote on that note is a bad idea. That's a middle point to hit.

Present Brie with an adversary, and she'll fight us with everything she has. Present her instead with a problem to solve?

  • [X]"When we first got told of the Clocktower's decision, you told Scathach and Jeanne you wouldn't 'leave the people of New Rimeland in the lurch' when making your wish. You wanted an alternative that did something for everyone even if it fell short of one ideal, because you refused to lie down and accept the cruelties of an uncaring world and uncaring old men."
    -[X]"Well, now is the time prove your strength of mind, beloved Brie. The town must be saved with a wish, or you must crush me under your heel. How are you going to save me, if only a piece? You have one possible option right behind you. And a restoration can be broadly interpreted. So show me the mind I fell in love with, what is your answer?"

I'm going to make you remember Olga, what she did, what she allowed, what she chose to become for the sake of a selfish wish. I'm going to make you remember Hans, who threw himself at a dream, not caring what happened or who was left alive. I'm going to make you remember Hinako, who you changed with your words and your strength. I'm going to make you remember the creature that you turned into a real girl, with wants and hopes and dreams and feelings. I'm going to make you remember Luvia, who entrusted you from afar with a person that is precious to her. I'm going to make you remember Shirou, and Saber, both who saw your light and encouraged it to shine, over and over, no matter how bloody your hands might have been. I'm going to make you remember that it was your strength, your spirit, your courage that made that old hag change her unchanging mind. I'm going to make you remember Jeanne, who always saw the good in you, even when you thought there wasn't any left. I'm going to make you remember that you fought for people. That you cried. That you were scared and hurt when you saw what you did to Olga. That you didn't want to watch people die, or have their lives stolen away for the sake of this war. That you cared.

The two of you broke apart, sparks flying in the air before you slid back. You moved as the command seal wracked your body in agony before you both clashed and struck one another in blinding speeds before you knocked her into a wall.

Brie flipped over and kicked off the wall to shoot towards you. She turned and had you parry her strike before you deflected her spear aside. You weaved through her swing and grabbed her by her collar and threw her into one of the church's pillars!

Her back hit it first before she coughed out blood upon hitting the ground. Brie grit her teeth as she slowly got up and reinforced her legs to rush you down. Scarlet and rainbow clashed upon one another before a whirl of combat erupted at the center of the church.

You fought her off as she relentlessly fought with as much strength as her tiny body could offer. A whirl of crimson fury which you dispelled with rainbow cleaves one after the other. You both swung your weapons as you met each other's gazes.

"My greatest Treasure... Do you know what lesson I learned in my life?" You asked her as you both pushed against one another, "Lives matter. People matter."

You broke contact and smashed Caladbolg against her spear to knock it down. You followed up with a kick but she caught your leg and used the momentum to throw you into a pillar. She dragged her spear through the air as you ducked and blasted her back with rainbow light.

She hit the opposite pillar as you got up.

"Do you remember how I died the first time? The ones you ruin have families, friends, and comrades," you growled as you both met each other's gaze, "They will come for you to avenge them, and I refuse your Light to be Extinguished like that!"

Brie moved as you called upon your warriors to restrain her. She pierced through their ranks in a blast of red light. She stopped short in front of you as you dodged out of the way. She smashed the pillar as you knocked down her spear before she swung it to catch your side and toss you aside.

You slid back as you stabbed Caladbolg into the ground.

"If you want to save me, you have to save the town too! Show me the mind I fell in love with Brie... Show me an answer!" You roared as she darted from the air and shot downwards.

You pulled your sword out of the floor and met the tip of her spear with your sword. Her body flew and smashed through the pews bunched up on the side of the church. Dust and smoke filled the air before you fell down your knees as pain arced through your body.

You gasped as you held your beating heart and looked up to see Brie dragging herself out of the rubble.

"You... Want an answer fine. I do care. You're right! You're actually right I do care and I'll feel horrible damning people to their deaths!" Brie yelled as she leaned on her staff and grit her teeth, "But my feelings are real too! I don't want to lose you! I meant everything I said to a degree but you're right. You're absolutely right."

You struggled to get up on your feet as you met her gaze, "You realize how stupid this is, huh? I'm not your security blanket, Brie. You can act tough if you want but I can read you like an open book. Because we're partners, aren't we?"

"Shut up..." Brie snapped as she dragged her spear with her.

"Be angry if you want but I need to know if you have a plan. Where do we go from here?" You asked her with a growl.

"Plan? I don't have a plan. I never had any plans. What semblance of a plan I had went up to smoke when you threw me!" Brie snapped hotly as she started running towards you, "That's my answer, you happy?!"

Your eyes widened as you blocked her strike, "Brie?!"

"Is that what you really want, Medb?" Brie snarled as she looked into your eyes, "I gave you my answer. Only a complete moron would fall in love with this sort of girl. You always had a bad taste in men or women."

"Guess I really am stupid, huh?" You hissed as you pushed her back, "We both have bad taste in people."

"That I can fucking agree with," Brie snapped as you both bounced off and exchanged blows. Sparks ravaged the air before you grabbed her jacket and threw her upwards.

Her body struck the ceiling and went through it. You kicked off the ground to chase her before you broke through the roof as well. Brie was already there with Gae Bolg going for your heart.

You deflected her strike as her fist dug into your stomach before you kicked her right in her side. Rooftiles flew as you both slid back from one another before the Command Seal wracked your body once more.

"Are you sure about it, Rider? How much do you want that Wish?" Brie asked as she held her side.

The moon shined down on the two of you as you both got up.

"Is this what you really want?" She asked you with a serious tone.

"Indeed. If it means to spare you from a crueler fate if you damn this city, then fine," you told her as you had Caladbolg spin.

Brie was silent as she stared at you before shaking her head, "You're an absolute idiot, I can't believe it."

"I'm not good with these arguments," you huffed.

"I know. It's charming," Brie replied as she held her spear.

You eyed her suspiciously, "So you're not going to damn the town in exchange for me?"

"Maybe. Do you have a better idea?" Brie asked with a chuckle.

"No. No, I don't. And you don't really have a plan outside human sacrifice?" You asked right back.

"Nope. Right now I just want to kick your ass," Brie replied as her spear burned crimson, "Thanks, Rider... I was getting a little crazy back there."

You saw that tears were sliding down her cheeks and her hands trembled as she held Gae Bolg.

"Alright... Show me me what you got," Brie replied as she met your gaze, "Maybe next time I'll figure out how to burn the world for your sake after this."

There is no saving this. There wasn't any saving this 28 IRL days ago, there wasn't any saving this two weeks ago, and there wasn't any saving this after the Aquarium date. Because characters don't communicate. Because players can't get their shit together. Because fucking trolley problems. Because Brie has to be a bitter, betrayed living weapon to put Kiritsugu to shame.

If sweet death is how this train ends, then come. Let's end it proper with a strangling.

Uh, did you read the update? Medb just knocked some sense into Brie and now Brie isn't crazy anymore. This is now just a stress-relief sparring + planning session.

After two-plus weeks of people telling me I don't know what I'm talking about, then making things worse, I'm just about done trying to justify myself to a brick wall.
