"You said, earlier in this conversation, that SOUL type has no effect on someone's personality. Since that's the case, how can you say you were made to cause fear? How can you say that it's your destiny? You don't know that! You don't know what the future holds! All that a SOUL type gives you,-

"Th-... Thank you, Bête... I wanna see you be happy too, even though I haven't gotten much of a chance to so far, heh..." Ralsei finally disengages from the hug and wipes the corners of his eyes. His legs are very shaky "You're- You're so kind, beyond all the killing everyone stuff. You're-

//Biggering coded

//yo sorry i haven't posted anything in like over a week- //I think I started doing too much stuff too quickly and it ended up feeling like more of an obligation than smth I was doing for fun //sooo to make sure that doesn't happen again i think i'm gonna cap myself to one post per hour on each-

Initially, Ralsei is nowhere to be seen, but after a moment or two they spot a white-and-green dot swiftly approaching from the castle and, as it gets closer, it becomes clear that it's Ralsei rapidly hovering towards Kris

"Fun fact: A medium-boiled egg is usually smaller than a car!"

"I'm driving a mercedes benz"

* Oh big shocker everyone's gay, alert the presses

"I can't believe China's making writing Yaoi illegal"

"Ok well, good news then! You don't need to come out to anyone because everyone already figured it out!"

"Did- Did you not already know?????????"

"Of course!!" Ralsei waves Kris off and then, once they're out of sight, goes to start considering where he's gonna put the new Baking Room in the castle.

"Do you mean SPAREing? Or is it just called MERCY where you're from?"

"Sounds like a good plan, Kris! See you soon!!"

See, this is why you guys should never listen to me.

//pls i wanna rp as the vessel but i don't wanna Subject anyone to them with their permission lmao :3

//something i like doing is keeping my characters' thought processes very private and not putting them in the narration unless it's something that could be gleaned from voice or expression or otherwise something visible, however, that means sometimes i can forget what the character's thinking if-

"Thank you, Bête... thank you so much I-... it's funny... this whole time, I was hoping to hear you say those words, that I'm right, but... for some reason, you actually saying them made me immediately certain that I'd probably got a few things wrong when we were arguing. I-I still agree with what-

"I think I might try and make it just from what I know about normal baking, just as a fun challenge! Then, once you come over, you can correct me on all the stuff I've probably gotten wrong and I can fix it, hehe-"

Ralsei squeezes even tighter for a split second before greatly relaxing the hug, barely exerting any pressure at all. Ralsei's whole body is subtly shaking. It's clear that he is feeling a lot of extremely powerful emotions right now, completely overwhelming his thoughts with raw feelings.

"Ooo! That sounds yummy! Let's definitely do that! Though I might have to make a new area of the castle for more traditional baking, since the cauldron is pretty simple once you get the hang of it" //and also because the writer has no clue how she would describe how the cauldron works lmao

Ralsei half walks, half falls towards Bête before hugging her tightly, repeatedly mumbling "thank you" under his breath as he just barely doesn't sob.

"I-I should? That sounds like, uh, a lot- N-Not that I don't want to be friends with you, though!"

Finally, Ralsei forces himself to say something. "p-please..... d-don't do it again.... not here, not anywhere . . . just promise me that, please. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ."

Ralsei looks at her with... a vague cocktail of extremely powerful negative emotions in his eyes. It looks like his mind is simultaneously racing and completely frozen. He opens his mouth to say something. All that comes out is a barely audible "you..."

The moment she mentions that she had already done this to another world, Ralsei completely freezes. It's unlikely he was paying enough attention to the rest of what Bête said to process any of it. He feels like he has to say something, do something.-

For all you've said about people being inherently cruel, you've still taken the time to talk to me despite our opposing views, and that shows me that you are, at your base, a kind, compassionate person. You said earlier that you feel you're just being honest about the cruelty inherent in all-

"..." "You say that science has no humanity like that's a criticism, but your entire plan is to eliminate any semblance of "humanity" anywhere, so I don't understand how science lacking humanity could possibly be a criticism to you. Additionally, have you considered what eliminating the grey area-

"Ooo, yea! That sounds nice! Do you have any ideas? It's fine if you don't, of course"

//definitely not hopping on a bandwagon or anything, no... totally not...

"That sounds great, Kris! It'll be nice to spend some more time with *you*."

Guys hold shit Ralsei just swore

"Then what do you count as sentient? Octopi? Chimpanzees? Dolphins? Parrots? Rats?! Crows?! Dogs?! Cats?! Bees!? Gorillas!? Giraffes?!? Komodo dragons?!? Fruit flies!?? WHERE IS YOUR LINE?! WHERE DOES SENTIENCE STOP?!? WOULD YOU KILL A SHARK BECAUSE IT MIGHT DO SOMETHING EVIL?!??!? WHERE DOES-

Funny thing: Ralsei completely forgot about all the killing everyone stuff because he got distracted talking about SOUL stuff, so Bête bringing it back up kinda drags him back down to the reality of Bête's plans. "R-Right, the omnicide thing... can I ask you a question about it..? Who will be the-

"Does anyone know when yaoi day is?"

Look Kris Kris Cross Applesauce Now That We Are Trucies I Feel Like We Are On The Same Mathematical Wavelength You Get Me Kris You Do Not Do Crazy Things Like “Have Opinions”

Look, kid, everyone wants to believe they're "chosen". But if we all waited around for a prophecy to make us special, we'd die waiting. And that's why you need to choose yourself.

Happy yuri day everyone!

A long, short silence between the two of them. "I-I hope so too..."

Ralsei hugs Kris "We're all ok, Kris. Everything will turn out ok"

Ralsei seems to 𝘧𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘻𝘦 up a bit after hearing Kris describe these dreams "I-I... I'm sure it's probably nothing! Probably just some weird nightmares your brain's been coming up with"

//behold: the first ever good post i've ever made on one of my rp accounts

"What do you mean "distracted"..?"

"Y-You can still do it as often as you want! I don't wanna take opportunities for you to have control of yourself away just because *I'm* worried about how you do it! I-I don't- I don't want to make you have a worse life with less control over yourself just because you're trying to make *me* feel-

"I'm-- ... o-okay... I'm just... concerned, about what doing... *that*... repeatedly could do to your health in the long run... b-but I didn't want to say anything because I was worried that it might come off like I was just coming up with an excuse for you to not be in control as much, since-

"o-okay... i just- n-nevermind, it's nothing. Thank you, Bête, for letting me know about that"

"Ok, uhm... I'll say this from your perspective, so it'll be easier for you to repeat, so when I say "I" or "me" or stuff like that in the explanation I'll mean you, ok? Ok, great! 'So, basically, when me and Kris went to the supply closet to grab some chalk, we ended up falling into this thing-

"Ok, so all the stuff you and Kris have been getting up to in the dark worlds up to the stuff at the church??"

"E v e r y t h i n g???? Or just everything?"
