[ Blade will allow her to do that as much as she pleases; it doesn't really trouble him any. ]

I see. So that is why you keep reaching out?

[ He might have assumed she witnessed his death, though the fact that it is more a matter of being uncertain of his presence is also understandable. ]
baebladie: (When you've caught on)

Then, stay as long as you like.

[ Blade's sharp eyes then catch these new phantasms, wondering about the irony of it all. The dance of fierce fighting is beautiful, but unsettles him.

They always chose the simulation room for their spars, so he knows what this vision means. Trying to obscure the sight seems foolish, so he is resigned to it playing out. ]


Another illusion is upon us. Unless you wish to shake that peace of mind...you have the choice to avert your eyes.

[ Blade is caught off-guard, so he just tenses; but that doesn't last long. He reaches with his hands to lightly pull them away just a bit, looking at her.

But, her words seem to have had an effect. Even with the sound of their weapons meeting one another's in the distance, and the urge to look. To suffer. To desire that suffering to end.

To feel that pain bloom in his heart, to fuel the monster that lies within him...to let him sink into the madness of the red haze of mara, stoked by painful memories. Painful events. To lose himself. But, he doesn't want to indulge it now. No, he wants...to be at peace. ]


...You're correct that I don't have to. But, it's unnecessary...to shield me so. As long as I don't bring my gaze in that direction, I will be fine.

Let us both wait it out until it ends. Then, maybe attempt to reclaim whatever little peace we have.
baebladie: (it drizzles)

[ Blade hates that she is right, because those words, from his other self make him want to.

For a moment, it makes him furious (mostly at himself, for being so wretched in this scenario, even if it is unreal.) What does anyone know about him? Doesn't she know how easy it is for him to kill most people here? That he's a threat? He wouldn't even hesitate? That he wouldn't feel a single thing if he raised his sword against even some of the younger ones? ]


...How would you know?

[ Blade simply asks, though this time he doesn't bother removing his hands, feeling the stab of anger leave as soon as it comes. ]
baebladie: (You played the fool)

[personal profile] baebladie 2024-04-17 07:47 pm (UTC)(link)
[ She must know, and still she sticks close. Is he fortunate? He thought that, once upon a time, not too long ago, when she dared to embrace him. Even when no one else would. He knows he will never be stable, but it is clear that does not matter to her. ]

...You are correct. Though, there is no need for you to expend such an effort, even if slight.

[ But, Blade does not begrudge Yuri for it, not completely, even if it isn't so simple either. The day which they all part draws ever nearer, where he will pursue his goals and never look back, where he will forget them all sooner than later. Yet, for now...that isn't so.

Yuri continues to support him, and in some ways, however long they have, Blade will unequivocally support her in return.

Eventually, the final blow is struck. The sound of a body falling is familiar enough that he can't mistake it, and he raises his hands to gently pull them from where Yuri has them. ]

[ Two fingers, tapped lightly against her shoulder before Blade reaches, and holds up a puppy to her, tilting his head. ]

...And so it ends, Yuri.

[ A mere possibility. Enough to shake the soul and to shatter the spirit; but the mirage dissipates all the same. The two are still here, and they have much to confront ahead. ]

However painful our future is, we must grasp it greedily; unflinching...and never let go. But, remember to give yourself as much consideration as you have given to me.
baebladie: (Got a story of your own)

[ Puppycare time...a well-deserved respite after moments where this place still dared to tug on their sanity relentlessly.

She will have (1) puppy deposited into her awaiting hands. It will probably do puppy things and excitedly put paws on her. ]


Hm...an adequate answer.

And, considering your reach, I imagine that would be no small number.

[ Just as well. He has no reason to doubt that resolve; not when because of it, and maybe due to those ties, she still remains here. ]
baebladie: (I throw it all away)

[personal profile] baebladie 2024-04-18 05:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Perhaps 'luck' was something reserved for those who persisted. Though, I doubt that was the only factor.

[ Being prepared for a horrid outcome could keep one from experiencing something horrible.

All the same...in a heartbeat, that creature could have chosen differently. Forced someone to kill, and it could have been either one of them. But, the fact of the matter it wasn't. ]


...I wouldn't doubt you would, whatever the circumstances of how you could have ended up being a murderer or would-be killer.
baebladie: (Make you addicted)

You'd be correct.

[ Blade wouldn't have cared if she did murder anyone who stepped in her way. ]

...You wouldn't have tried to end your life so eagerly, like the others had, who clearly saw no other way out.

I can imagine that being very much the same, even if you would have never been able to cut a bloody path through everyone. But, that's an event that hadn't come to pass. We should be grateful for that, shouldn't we?
baebladie: (On that border between good and evil)

[personal profile] baebladie 2024-04-18 05:40 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Let the bodies hit the floor — okay, no.

Blade is simply grateful it hadn't because he wouldn't have wanted to see what happened should Yuri have 'died'. The executions were definitely a spectacle. ]


You're talented in ensuring others aren't furious with you.

I have no need of it, but I suppose there can be merits.

[ For people who want to...you know, not deal with attempts on their life and the like. ]
baebladie: (And the drifting afterglow)

[personal profile] baebladie 2024-04-18 05:50 pm (UTC)(link)
[ See? Being a rude asshole has its perks, and yeah somehow Blade hasn't gotten his ass murdered either (or murdered anyone...amazing.)

Though there's a pause, and then...his expression looks amused as he says: ]


Suck-ups do tend to have a higher survival rate.

[ help ]
baebladie: (Seeping in)

[personal profile] baebladie 2024-04-18 05:58 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Blade starts to...laugh darkly? Chuckle? Even with the puppy in his face so it's a muffled sound.

He's suffering.

Oh, sweet agony and pain. ]
baebladie: (🫰)

[personal profile] baebladie 2024-04-18 07:20 pm (UTC)(link)
[ ]

There is no satisfactory answer available.

[ Blade now has been pawed. :nyeh: ]
