the... irony of you offering me support and things turning out the way they did isn't lost on me. it kinda makes it worse.

[becomemod]

Well, it is what it is.

As awful as things are, you can't change the past. All you can do is try to make a better future.

[ballies]

that's a pretty wise and well-balanced way of looking at it. i'd just be mad as hell at argalia, honestly.

[becomemod]

It's disappointing, but I understand why he did it.

So I can't really be mad at him.

[ballies]

[ squints. ]

you do?

[becomemod]

I spoke to him and asked his reasoning, and when he explained it I found it understandable.

That happened tonight by the way, I didn't know beforehand.

[ballies]

i believe you when you say you don't know what happened, don't worry.

...
i don't know if i agree with that. i don't know if there's any excuse for murdering, although i can understand self-defence

[becomemod]

'Excuse' isn't exactly the right word for it. Nothing excuses murder.

Understanding is something different from excusing.

[ballies]

...

I'm not sure i want to understand him. if i'm honest.
but he was on your team, so i guess it's a little different.

[becomemod]

It's not so much being on the same team as it is having similar personalities and motivations.

I'm not going to go kill someone to see what happens though.

[ballies]

Is that how we were all sorted? Motivations and personalities...?

[becomemod]

Something like that, I think.

At the very least, I share key traits with everyone on my team.

[ballies]

[ there is a silence while she tries to think about what traits she and the goats share other than “unintentionally chaotic, and also giving goat a headache” ]

that makes more sense than rng, at least.

[becomemod]

If you think about it, all the teams share traits with their leaders.

The prinnies picked well.

[ballies]

i think i mostly just give poor goat a headache.

[becomemod]

That is very possible.

They are a bit too wound up most of the time.

[ballies]

yeaah, we probably don't help with that.

[becomemod]

Probably not, but it's good for them.

They need someone to bully them into actually sleeping.

[ballies]

i did manage to pin them down in a blanket on movie night. it's not a nap, but they had to stay where they were, that counts.

[becomemod]

It's close enough.

I bet they weren't happy though.

[ballies]

they didn’t shove me off the couch! that’s a win, right?

[becomemod]

I suppose it would count, yes.

The next step is getting them to go to bed.

[ballies]

[ … hmmm ]

We can all just sit on them until they pass out.

[becomemod]

An interesting choice.

Make sure not to suffocate them.

[ballies]

Oh come on, I'll make sure they can breathe.
