AND THE PEOPLE WHO GAIN THE WORLD

[strangerpeople]

AND LOSE THEIR SǪ͞UL̨̡͢


[The time goes down to zero. Vyce's fists clenched.]

. . .You fools.

[He raises a hand, and suddenly, Lala lets out a gasp as she begins to grab at her throat. Green lines begin to glow from within her body as she starts to writhe, before falling to the ground into convulsions.]

For all of your claims and bravado, you still voted to condemn her! You claim to care, you claim she is innocent, you claim to want to take her place, but in the end it never mattered!

THIS is why I cannot trust anyone with my mission! THIS is why YOU would fail in MY shoes! THIS IS WHY I ALONE MUST--



[Suddenly, everyone is thrown to the side as something violently jostles the whole house, Vyce included. Immediately, Lala collapses to the floor, and the glowing lines disappear.]

WHAT THE-

[It actually felt like the house was rammed just then.]

Of course you can come back. The train isn't a one-way after all; wefts can be a little crazy but you'll be able to come back here.

[dereban]

Good.

I hate doing this, but I'll at least be able to celebrate my birthday properly and have myself checked out. Worst case scenario is that they can switch me into a new gigai since I look like this.

[ gestures at herself and how she does not physically look like Inaba, even if she sounds fine ]

[adollnomore]

O-oh, your birthday is coming up? Sorry that this had to happen around it.

[Wow, that's some luck.]

But I suppose this form is better than some I've seen...like this odd white big cat rat creature.

[dereban]

Next week.

But don't worry, I'm used to weird shit and murder games, in spite of... Y'know.

[adollnomore]

Well then, maybe there will be a party in your honor waiting for you!

[That's what people do around birthdays, right? Have fun?]

That makes the two of us. I still don't know how I managed to somehow survive both times.

[dereban]

If there isn't, I'm throwing my own. At least, after I get back to some semblance of "normal".

[touchsensors]

We should have a party for you, too-lun.

[Lala will insert herself into any conversation she wants, tyvm.]

[dereban]

After I get my features back, sure.
