[UMINEKO SPOILERS] Heart (Scored) - Kyrie, Rika, Ange

[damedana]

The story ends as such:
"when the seagulls cried, none were left alive"...

But this isn't such a sad story.

This is a story about love.

Sometimes you bap baby witch on the nose.

Ushiromiya Battler thinks Yuzu's in over her head and it'll be entertaining to watch her struggle.

[she is silent for a long moment after that one, thinking]

Re: 1/2

[miraculouscatnoir]

Ushiromiya Battler cannot stop Yuzu, and does not have the right to stop Yuzu, but does not want to see her suffer.

[damedana]

Ushiromiya Battler cannot stop Yuzu from becoming a witch if she chooses [and for a moment it looks like there would be a red period but then it just... stretches out unnaturally into:] but suffering is inherent to becoming a witch and being a witch means boredom can kill, so why not find entertainment in it?

[miraculouscatnoir]

Because being a witch does not mean abandoning your humanity.

[damedana]

Please enjoy a [AHAHA.WAV] echoing around the room.

Ushiromiya Battler cannot stop Yuzu from becoming a witch if she chooses.
Ushiromiya Battler takes no joy in Yuzu's suffering to achieve that goal if she chooses.
Ushiromiya Battler wants to help Yuzu if she will allow it.

[nods

ok what still needs to be solved, looks around the room]

[damedana]

The door is still locked. But there are plenty of items still strewn around, and the thorned vines don't seem to be going anywhere.

[miraculouscatnoir]

[goes up to the thorned vines and inspects them]

[damedana]

[oh hey, just for Rika when she pokes at them: a familiar voice speaking almost in her ear but there's the rattling of chains and a strange noise thrumming in her head, her chest might even feel a bit tight with something not unlike butterflies in the stomach but twisted and distorted,]

Watching the distractions play out this way really is entertaining.

[she'll feel as if she's being watched out the window, but it's getting too dark to tell.]

[miraculouscatnoir]

....

It's more fun to join in than to just watch.

[damedana]

Remember the goal and the players will play.

[miraculouscatnoir]

If the things in here are 'distractions', then we are not really impacting the true corruption.

[damedana]

[ahaha.wav]

Treating symptoms isn't without merit.

[meatitfeedson]

[Now those are interesting truths happening over there.]

So these are helpful, but we might not be making the best use of our time. Probably the deeper we go, the more important it will be, assuming there are more rooms like this to keep escaping. In fact, if we move on, we might find things that will make working on these ideas easier.

[miraculouscatnoir]

I agree, we should try to move on.

But how...?

[meatitfeedson]

The door is really locked up this time, huh? Going out the window would be easy enough, but maybe we can break the door open. Alternatively, there could be a hidden passage somewhere. Behind the wardrobe or under a rug or bed.

[miraculouscatnoir]

The door was easy enough before so...

[time to just grab one of these sword and try to smash a window]

[damedana]

Enjoy Elliot trying to use magic swords on someone magic can't lock onto.

Ushiromiya Battler knows he and Elliot Nightray are too damn similar.

But also, they just bounce off the windows. Because, again, magic working on dude who can't be locked onto by magic. Whups.

[meatitfeedson]

[Hey she found some bolt cutters in the toilet tank, gonna open the door,]

If you want to come this way, it's going to storm outside, Rika-chan.

[miraculouscatnoir]

Oh! Great job, Kyrie.

[following her, she sets the sword back down]

Re: 2/2

[counterfactual]

[it's the ahaha.wav that makes her turn around and see that]

Yuzu...?
