selenomancy fiercebadrabbit waningsunflower Akira will 100% be in a vengeful place but also he is more likely to resort to mindgames and fuckery than violence if any of you want Akira to catch up to yours before he can be talked down.

cannibalherpes I saw Trevor volunteered, he gonna track Akira down face to face or try network?

oh I'm definitely down for xue yang experiencing some more Consequences for his action

Probably network first! He doesn't know the guy too well and doesn't want to assume, plus he knows he could overstep since he's paired with Jamil

Trevor: Hey back off Envy is my responsibility, everyone.

Also Trevor: HEY inmate who's already paired, no murdering!

Trevor is valid

Murder is valid

Seph no

Xue Yang agrees with Sephiroth

at least someone agrees with him

obsessive murder freaks unite

In all fairness, Trevor also helped teach him to use a sword and has every right to register a complaint about how those skills might be used.

But also Akira considers murder to be a half-assed and useless way of getting revenge for anything.

That's why you murder all their loved ones in front of them first

And make them think it's their fault

exactly

Akira, tiredly: No. Collateral damage is the refuge of the unskilled.

or you kill all the loved ones of someone they're close to and then make them think it's their fault

oh yeah that too

If you have to kill everyone they love to make them wish they were dead, you're not good enough at it.

and then you fall in love with them--- wait that wasn't part of the plan

Besides, some people don't love anyone.

It's not to make them wish they were dead.

It's to make them feel helpless

There are better ways of accomplishing that, too.

and to teach them a lesson that humanity sucks and that everything they do is futile and that they're dumb & naive for thinking that they can make the world a better place : D

At least when I bring Vanitas, he'll also agree with Sephiroth

Vani: Murder might not be the answer, but at least it's fun

give in to your hate, etc.

Xue Yang agrees with that too!

Murder IS fun

Vani like "not everything has to be about making the OTHER person feel a certain way, sometimes it's just nice to treat yourself"

See there is the thing, humanity does suck but Akira has to believe he can make the world a better place or else he's going to sell the world's free will to an evil god. Or just never graduate, really, which is worse, because he's getting tired of waiting to date his Warden.

u.u

Vani: Gross

lmao we all have our crosses to bear

I can't wait til I can eventually bring this asshole to perpetually poke at Akira

constantly trying to get under his skin

Trying to encourage bad habits

uvu

Vanitas: Your heart is a black hole of darkness and rage, why are you not on the murder side?
Akira: Because you don't get the throne of hell for having no self control.

lmaooooo

At least Vani gets the self-control part

I'm excited for XY to meet someone who is basically him when he was a teen lmao

But yes, selenomancy , do we want to go with Akira having already gotten to XY before Zack started babysitting him 24/7 or discuss workarounds? Since Akira isn't actually going to like. Physically Damage Him. It could be slipping under the radar.

If can't do earlier on... Since Zack is leaning hardest towards bracing for mental attack, maybe there's an opening there?

I know Zack is also wanting to check up on Cloud at some point

Imagine Zack mentioning the murder concerns to Cloud and Cloud just facepalming.

Cloud just tilting his head and squinting

Trying to picture Akira murdering in cold blood

dots not connecting

We can discuss workarounds! Bc Zack is the one who dragged XY out of the hole so he would've already started to babysit him lol

Feel free to target Envy at some point. He's in zero the full week and probably getting a warden rotation, at least for a bit, so possibly tricky to target for a while

Ya Zack has already started babysitting and he got protection from mind whammies from the Admiral

Akira has some fun debuffs he could drop on XY, maybe. 🤔

like what? 👀

Debilitate is the best debuff in the game, hits all three of attack, agility, and defense. So XY would just feel weaker, slower, and easier to hurt for no apparent reason if Akira cast it on him from hiding.

I say feel but no, he would be weaker, slower/clumsier, and easier to hurt.

Oh he would hate that, he's already been weakened by the barge in general so he would definitely be going thru it

Smh Akira

It's temporary but in some ways that is worse? It just happens at random whenever Akira recasts it on him.

altruisms: idk what you expect from someone that considers killing an offender to be letting them off too easy.

And then XY can be confused when the fits suddenly stop for no apparent reason. (i.e. when Jamil emotionally scruffs his Inmate about a week after the Hole.)

fiercebadrabbit: Alas by a week, Jamil and Azul will have emotionally blackmailed him into controlling his rage.
