[ tonight ]
[You'll probably want to discuss the first votes a little more, since the results for the first night will come along with breakfast tomorrow morning (7PST Thursday) . . . but after that, maybe finding a quiet place to sleep—together, or separately.]

Oh, absolutely. I just don't think it's a good trait.

[contrapostasy]

Pride serves a function, I'll have you know.

[burdenshared]

Which function is that?

[contrapostasy]

To do your very best!

[burdenshared]

You're doing a terrible job at selling that.

[contrapostasy]

That's what you think.

[burdenshared]

Do you just wanna fight for no reason?

[contrapostasy]

I'm having fun, thanks.

[burdenshared]

I was having fun until you threw books at me.

[contrapostasy]

Oh, I'm sorry... for the books.

[ Going to go pick those up and treat them well now!! ]

[burdenshared]

Are you?

[ HELPS! And very deliberately brushes Jun's hand as he's helping. And then Jun will get very vague lowkey aches were the books hit Asato. It's nothing serious just, you know, 'it feels like I was hit with a heavy book' ]

[contrapostasy]

They did nothing wrong.

[ OUCH?? How rude. ]

[burdenshared]

[ STAGE WHISPER ]

That's what makes me scary.

[contrapostasy]

Can't you tell? I'm terrified.

[burdenshared]

I could be getting paper cuts every day and then pass them on to unsuspecting passer-byes.

[contrapostasy]

Evil. It certainly isn't a difficult power to abuse, that's for certain.

[burdenshared]

I went through every possible career. I was a firefighter for a while, and an EMT and I thought about becoming a police officer. But it's not an easy skill to hide if you're using it a lot.

[contrapostasy]

[ Just gives Asato a considering look, putting the books aside now they've been rescued. ]

You never once used it to your advantage?

[burdenshared]

Haaah, I've used it to protect others a couple of times. It was useful to stop bullying when I was growing up.

[contrapostasy]

Of course. You're so admirable it's a bit too much to deal with.

[burdenshared]

[ wow what the hell that's uncalled for ]

—what, why? What?

[contrapostasy]

You're like the kind of person I want to be?

[burdenshared]

But you are. You're trying to do good.

[contrapostasy]

For pretty self-serving reasons. And I can't say I haven't abused my own powers, nor that I won't in the future.

[burdenshared]

That's just being a person, though? All we can hope to do is our best.
