*The past few nights, Kaoru has come stumbling home from the dungeon, fighting until she can barely walk. You might see bruises on her, although she wears long sleeves and long skirts even in summer, and you can definitely see her pushing herself to move throughout the day. Find her either at school, in the hotel, or wandering around the town to get groceries she doesn't know what to do with.*

Seems pretty pointless to me if people are just going to pack up and leave, and there's no end to the Shadows.

I mean, what the hell are they even doing besides attacking us?

[breatheinthefog]

The rest of the island is becoming affected more and more. During the last full moon, civilians were just as selfish.

[soulsborderline]

Hmph.

...

The civilians still staying dead?

[breatheinthefog]

Yes.

[soulsborderline]

Well I guess they hypothetically count.

[breatheinthefog]

You're acting strangely. I don't really care, but it's getting annoying.

[soulsborderline]

I'm acting strangely? How am I acting strangely now when I'm just starting to realize how worthless this place is? Everyone I can even be bothered with just breezes in and out at the whim of some...some kind of conspiracy or something, the monsters are endless, and I...

...I killed someone. I killed someone and it doesn't even matter because she just comes back. Hell she was asking for it so hard someone else probably killed her first and she just bounced back for more. And then the jackass I was trying to kill gets away because of my stupid persona and then he just disappears, I mean...what the hell does that all even mean?

[breatheinthefog]

...Some things are pointless. Maybe some things aren't. I don't know. I want to know.

*She stares at Asuka.*

Either way, it has a point to them. Whatever that point is, it's why some of us remain.

2/2

[soulsborderline]

That was the worst inspirational philosophy I have ever heard.

...not saying I don't get your point, just...your delivery.

[breatheinthefog]

It has a point to our captors, so that means that they have some motive. They have something that matters to them. Maybe.

Humans also have things that matter to them.

That's all.

[soulsborderline]

Yeah, quit while you're ahead, Pointlessgirl. I get it. I'll get back to the fight.

If nothing else, you pretty obviously need backup.

[breatheinthefog]

Whatever.

I had them. They're gone.

[soulsborderline]

Uh huh. Well, if you keep looking like this, you'll end up dead, and that'll slow you down, if nothing else. And if I'm going to help anyone, it might as well be you.

[breatheinthefog]

Your party is gone, too?

[soulsborderline]

Mostly. I kind of drifted anyway.

[breatheinthefog]

Hm.

If you want, do it.

[soulsborderline]

Huh.

Now that's a philosophy I can get behind.

[breatheinthefog]

*shrug* Well, if it doesn't matter, why not, and if it does matter, it's a good thing.
