[criminaljustice]

This is just how I am.

[finishing off his cider and putting the bottle back in the case before getting the next one]

I have a strong inclination to want to act out against entities with power who abuse said power.

[zugzwange]

Hmm. . . so how has reebelling gone for you?

[criminaljustice]

About as well as it did back home.

It's a long process.

... I was pretty much a normal kid. But I was falsely convicted for assault, you know? And the guy who got the woman to falsely testify that it was me and not him is a candidate for Prime Minister of Japan.

Like I said: I don't take well to being made into something I'm not. Or maybe I take to it too well?

[make. the fuckers. regret. it. anyway, drinking more.]

[zugzwange]

Maybe try the opposite.

[criminaljustice]

Opposite?

What, like work with them?

[... definitely. unsure about this.]

I'd definitely need more information before that's even an option.

[zugzwange]

Aren't you playing along with your unit theme by being a rebel?

[criminaljustice]

I don't care about my unit's themes, I'm just tired of being made to act outside of what I choose for myself in those games.

[maybe a bit more heated than necessary but. lets out a breath.]

But if there's a reason why you'd think there'd be a pay off by playing along with that idea, then I'm willing to listen. But I can't just go in for that without knowing more.

[zugzwange]

I was just curious what would happen. What's the real difference between killing myself and being killed in a game like that?

[criminaljustice]

What is the difference, then?

[zugzwange]

I'm turning it over.

[criminaljustice]

[just. sighs.]

I'll be honest. Intensity was talking shit about you and how you fucked him over. So I asked him about that. And he let me see the texts you sent so I could see if he was missing something.

Turns out, he missed a number of the hints you were dropping. I told him he was an idiot too focused on the answers he wanted to see instead of the ones he was getting.

[NOM CHIP. SWIG CIDER.]

[zugzwange]

You are a gossip.

[ huff ]

It isn't my fault that he's an idiot.

[criminaljustice]

It's not.

But it's why I want to ask the questions he missed the opportunity to ask.

If you're up for that.

If not... I guess I'll have to figure out the answers for myself.

[zugzwange]

And in exchange. . .?

[criminaljustice]

Name a price.

[zugzwange]

Hmmm, tempting.

[criminaljustice]

I'm letting you choose because honestly? ... I don't really know if or what I have anything to offer you. I still don't know you especially well, so I'd rather not just assume.

[zugzwange]

What do you think might interest me. . .?

[criminaljustice]

[if he knew that, he'd make the offer himself.

but more of a test, huh. thinks it over carefully.]

I'll let you make me into a fish.

[idk seems legit]

[zugzwange]

Nice, but I don't have that power yet.

[criminaljustice]

[pulls out his phone.

holds it up for Haruto to see]

I have 715 points that can go toward that, then.

[literally all the points he has]

[zugzwange]

I'm thinking it might be more beneficial to do something else. . . while extortion is fun I'd rather have power over you in a different manner.

[criminaljustice]

... even if I offer a favor or a period of obedience, I'd have the stipulation that I won't accept orders to torture or murder someone.

[he's only ever done either of those things while insane, so...]

[zugzwange]

That's not my flavor.

[criminaljustice]

Just need to cover those bases.

... then if either of those offers work...
