ღ think of the places you'll go

[anythingforyou]

[So. In a word, this whole confrontation could very well be described as a travesty. Between finding out a good deal about Cyrus, which could be described as their objective, and finding out everything about Dawn, it's been generally bad. This day is honestly about as canceled as Sunyshore City itself, and considering the state of the city...well, that's pretty damn canceled.

The beach is probably the last place anyone really wants to go, considering the weather, but it's there and at the very least, it's quiet. It's not much of a party, all considered, but at least they're not all cramped in the lighthouse. For whatever it's worth.

May as well rest before they go in another direction tomorrow; everyone's liable to be weary after today.]

[...Michael, one of these days she's gonna tell you not to @ her, goddammit. Camilla bristles a bit at that, turning away. He's totally not under her skin, she's not bothered, she's fine--]

Is such a lacking really so wide-spread among us? [Camilla actually looks back at that, kind of. Deflecting the question a bit.] Genuine question.

[eudaimonikos]

Have you met Ignis? Very nice man, dear friend of mine.

[anythingforyou]

[Completely deadpan:]

Yes, he's one of my dearest friends as well. That hardly counts for all of us, all things considered.

[eudaimonikos]

He's the only one I've really talked to about it. But it's not like I haven't seen Jake and Bucky leaping in front of people every time we run into something terrible.

[Michael you do that too you fucking hypocrite]

And I'm sure no one thinks that Emmeryn's put herself first even once in her life.

[anythingforyou]

[...oh, congratulations Michael.]

Alright, Emmeryn I'm far from disagreeing with you on. But you've done the exact same thing as you claim Jake and Bucky to have done, so I don't think you've much room to talk.

[@!!!]

Okay, so that's 20% of us. Still hardly an apt comparison, but I suppose I'll acquiesce.

[camilla i'm pretty sure he still asked why??? oh my god]

[eudaimonikos]

It's more than that, and you know it. I just can't talk Zelda down from the destiny ledge...

[He's just gonna fucking ignore you calling him on his shit, the same way you're ignoring his original comment right now HEY WAIT A MINUTE]

My point is that you all need to worry about yourselves more. Sure, there's enough overlap with all you self-sacrificing idiots fussing over each other right now, but you can't rely on just that.

[hypocrisy once again, and also that sorta came out sounding much worse than he intended]

[anythingforyou]

[Uuuuugh, Camilla just. Kind of rubs her temples at that.]

I'm not relying on anyone else to worry about me, Michael. I can concede that you have a point, but I can assure you that I'm fine with everything that's taken place. It really is as simple as that; nothing that man has said can nor will effect me so terribly.

[She's. Definitely a little indignant at that.]

Perhaps we could work on the self sacrificing angle, but it's hard to fix what's a habit with the others.

[eudaimonikos]

It's not about Cyrus. Not really. I just don't like seeing all of you run yourselves down so much! There's no reason for it, there are a lot of us here!

[anythingforyou]

[...

Camilla just. Kind of sighs. Really, she wants to keep fighting this, but it honestly does ring true on some level. And she kind of hates it? She hates it a lot, good lord.]

Accepting help has never been easy, you know.

[It's a bit of a weaker argument than what she was offering, though.]

[eudaimonikos]

No, I do understand that...

[He gives her a wry little smile.]

I had to hit rock-bottom before I ever did. Long trip, for a demon.

[anythingforyou]

[...She's not really surprised to hear that, honestly.]

I wager so, yes. Where on earth did you even start...?

[is camilla asking for advice from a demon? yes, yes she is]

[eudaimonikos]

Start asking for help...? Well, I was being blackmailed and probably a month or so away from a public execution, so I wouldn't advise doing that.

Otherwise, hm. Guess I just had to really swallow my pride.
