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]

It's not like they're safe out there either though. I feel like at any minute, I could be the reason that the people I care about are targeted.

[If there was a reason Lala had been considering making a deal with that little demon-- it was to protect her home after all.]

These people... no one is safe. They don't care about any of us. At least... that's the way it seems.

[She wishes it was someone she could reason with or at least try to understand what they want, but-- she doesn't feel like that's the case at all here.]

[ That was a pretty sound reasoning and it made him distantly kind of miss Nagisa a bit more, as these games didn't seem to care about where someone was in the many different universes. Hopefully the knowledge of him being in a different world made him a bit safer. ]

That's because... they're only considering their own goals and don't give a shit about us or the people we care about. We're... all just pawns to them.

[ Maybe to an extent, some of this talk is helping. He certainly started to seem a bit less empty and listless just talking about this, even looking a little angry now. ]

Should... make it satisfying when we can pay them back for every shred of pain they've dealt to us.

[She doesn't like it, but they've never shown one once of proof otherwise. The people who did this... she can't see herself forgiving them. Not for this.

But the talk of payback even brightens her spirits a little.]

...that's right. We owe them one hell of a fight. When we're done with them they'll wish they'd gone straight to Gehenna.

Heh. I like the way you think.

[ After all, she's always been one of the more spirited ones and this kind of attitude really can put them more in his good books for what it was worth. He's even smiling a bit more at this point. ]

Next time you're up to it... think you'd want to spar against me? I think we both could use something as a distraction after what happened.

[ Maybe it's just him but the more he focuses on expending his energy into more violent, physical things, it'll help him push aside the things that make him hurt on the inside. ]

[When it comes to that sort of thing, they're on the same wavelength.]

Oh heck yeah!! I've been wanting to test out my skills against you for a while now.

[comesaround]

[ A soft laugh escaped him before he could stop it, genuine amusement and anticipation flickering behind his eyes now. ]

Glad to see you're all for it. I look forward to it.

[ Karma closed his eyes following that before something came to mind. Something he figured maybe was a good thing to mention before he forgot it. ]

Guess I owe you a thanks. For coming here and talking to me. I wasn't expecting anyone to, at first.
