sorry for your loss

[When people are returned to the main floor, they will find a trail of cupcakes from the elevator to the dining room. There is a table of drinks, pills, and cupcakes and cakes from the automat.

And on the table, in the center, is this asshole, with a party horn in its mouth. Despite that, it talks into everyone's mind.]

As you strangers tend to have a tradition of parties after an execution, I took the liberty. The plates and cups are over there.

[. . .

be merry I guess]

......are you trying to cheer me up or kick me while I'm down? I can't tell even a little bit.

[The fuck is wrong with this thing?]

[cuteandinnocentpet]

I am merely attempting to point out that you have nothing to feel guilty about.

That, and using foreknowledge of a fixed event to try and change it will not only result in the fixed event happening, but also result in the event being worse. It's like trying to fix what isn't broken, only to break it more thoroughly.

We call it the Nutcracker's Law.

[carryabigstick]

...alright, I guess I get that but...

[She has a fundamental issue with your strange, intelligent babble. And that is--]

But why in the heck would you call it that? This has nothing to do with nuts?!

[Does Zemuria even have nutcrackers? It's a mystery.]

Rebellion spoilers

[cuteandinnocentpet]

We named it after a magical girl who refused to accept destiny. By doing so, however, she simply made her situation more devastating, to the point where she even overthrew God.

She was like a nutcracker who couldn't crack nuts, a broken toy whose purpose had long been rendered obsolete. Yet by trying to change circumstances to her favor, she became the greatest evil, who now threatens the existence of her universe.

[carryabigstick]

Oh...

[Somehow, that's a really sad story. It's clear she tried to do something good but... it became something really terrible.]

In the end, even great power doesn't mean much I guess.

[It's concerning. But not hopeless.]

Which means I just need to keep on relying on what I can do. As long as I keep moving forward, no one can stop me but me!

[...........sure Estelle.]

[cuteandinnocentpet]

Power is useful if you know how to use it effectively. Not everyone can.

[carryabigstick]

I'm gonna guess that you'd say you're a great example of how to use power correctly.

[To which she would say "[x] doubt".]

[cuteandinnocentpet]

We certainly consider our methods highly efficient for its purpose, even if it's clear many here strongly disagree. At least, that is the case when we are able to do our tasks properly.

[carryabigstick]

...are you saying there's something wrong with you that you can't do them properly? Or are you talking about all the people trying to kill you when you attempt to do... whatever it is you do.

[Turn people into magical girls... the fuck....]

[cuteandinnocentpet]

Oh, there's nothing wrong with us! The constant attempts killing us aren't particularly helpful, but really I refer to certain individuals who prevent us from saving the universe.

[carryabigstick]

...okaaaay.

[Squints.]

I'll bite. Who are you talking about?

[cuteandinnocentpet]

The devil, of course!

[carryabigstick]

Th--The WHAT?!

You can't just say something like that like it's normal.

[cuteandinnocentpet]

It's become the new normal for our home universe. She has taken over and keeps misusing her power for her own greedy purposes.

[carryabigstick]

That's what you call her now? Isn't that pretty harsh? It's not like she wanted things to end up that way, right?

[cuteandinnocentpet]

She's the one who has called herself that.

Really, what other conclusion can we come to but to assume the worst?

[carryabigstick]

That's terrible... isn't there anything you can do?

[You have to have something, wicked rabbit-cat-thing, right???]
