[Day 2]

[if Rudolf would come with her, Beatrice would invite him, peacefully enough, back to her dressing room]

Are you enjoying the game, Ushiromiya Rudolf...?

Comments

[golden_roulette]

No. Your role is not to even know that there is a duel going on at all.

...But of course, as you say, you may be called upon to acknowledge it. It is even a surprise you weren't already so enlisted. That is fine, but a witch is very picky about how their game is played. Ahahahaha...

Perhaps Battler will talk about the need to cooperate with the witch. Perhaps Ange will talk about how the witch must be opposed at all cost. ...What would you say in response to either of that? Don't say what you think I would want you to say, say what you really would say.

[gunsgoldgirls]

Well it would have to depend on the situation. That I'm willing to talk with you like this is proof enough that I can at least imagine a situation where we might all work together. But at the same time, obviously I'd be more inclined to say you can't be trusted. I can see how it would be beneficial, potentially, but... Well, Ange's probably the smarter one anyway, I'd have to trust her judgement more.

[golden_roulette]

[she nods, that was about what she expected]

And whyyyy... can't I be trusted...?

[gunsgoldgirls]

You really gotta ask that? First of all, if they've already met you and aren't so keen on you, that's reason enough. And that's not to mention the whole...well, everything about "Beatrice".

[golden_roulette]

... [she can't help wincing, but she turns it into a sigh of exasperation as best as she can]

That's the wrong answer. Try again.

[gunsgoldgirls]

Sorry, that's my answer. It's probably not too far-fetched to assume you don't have a lot of love for Kinzo and by extension, his family. So I don't see any reason you would trust me or want to help me. Because of that, you're not trustworthy to me either. Unless you want to refute that assumption. Like I said, I'm not saying there's absolutely no way, but I don't trust anybody much outside Battler and Ange right about now.

[golden_roulette]

[grits her teeth in trying to force down her frustration]

Not like that! Of course you don't trust me! The wrongness is in your answer as to 'why'!

[gunsgoldgirls]

Yeah? Then explain it to me.

1/2

[golden_roulette]

...

[golden_roulette]

You pig-headed fool. Do you need me to tell you what to think, say, feel, and do, every single second?! Very well! I suppose with Kyrie not present, someone must do so!

[she let forth another cackle]

Auhahayahyahyahayaha!!

sorry it turned out to be 1/3

[golden_roulette]

[then she set down into another grimace]

It is too much to ask one such as you to show proper respect... but perhaps something like 'No one who would claim to be a witch is trustworthy' is enough for one such as you. Yes, there you are! That is your reply! Fill in that blank with that answer and you are sure to get a perfect score! A perfect cheat sheet for you!

Do you have any objectiiiions? Anything at aaaaaall??

[gunsgoldgirls]

See now this is part of it. I don't give a shit if you're a witch or pretending to be one, none of that has anything to do with it. A witch is just as trustworthy as the next person, which is not at all until proven otherwise. It's the way you talk, mood swings and posturing, calling me an idiot for not understanding what the hell it is you even want while giving me no information to work with. Meanwhile from everything I've heard about Beatrice throughout my life, I have to believe that you're either in cahoots with dad or his mortal enemy. Either one sounds pretty bad for me.

[golden_roulette]

...Indeed. Though those positions are hardly mutually exclusive.

[she could work with that, but she forced a frown as if she were still upset]

I see we have nothing more to talk about, then.
