Uh...

There’s a couple people I don’t really know. Besides you, me, Luna, and Beau... Lio’s here. So’s Hunter. ... I guess that guy is probably Galo? I don’t know the other two, sorry.

[ Isaac did not memorize the profiles. Or like. Even attempt to try, honestly. ]

[getdrekt]

What do they look like. Describe them to me.

[well he DID]

[stormsoff]

Uhm...

[ he makes a thoughtful noise as he considers them. ]

One of them has orange hair and is really tall. Has, uh, glasses on? [ what’s the deal with those actually ]

The other guy is about your height with long black hair that he has up in a ponytail.

[getdrekt]

Babo Kim.

[...]

Jin. Rulan Ling Jin.

[stormsoff]

Oh! Uh, thanks, that’s pretty helpful. You know them?

[getdrekt]

No. Not personally.

[he's yelled at both of them, though.]

But I remember them.

[stormsoff]

I need to try memorizing the information on everyone, like that detective guy. So, what're they like?

[getdrekt]

They're both idiots.

Neither are worth wasting your time with.

[stormsoff]

I'm like 99% sure you'd say that about literally everyone.

[getdrekt]

[hrrrmmmmPHHHH]

Jin keeps talking about his leaders. He has reasonable fighting moves, but gets overwhelmed easily. He's a coward.

Kim is a nuisance. There's more to him than he lets on, but good luck finding out what.

[THERE]

[stormsoff]

... you pay more attention to people than you let on.

[ There's no value judgment in the statement; it's just an observation. ]

You called me a coward, [ he'll point out, glancing at him. ] Do you still think that?

[getdrekt]

[answer: It's Complicated]

People fight. As long as that's true, Pacifism can't exist.

If you can't kill, then eventually you'll be the one who dies.

[stormsoff]

[ ... ]

Trust me, I get that pacifism is an ideal, not reality. Still, I... it's something I can always strive towards, right? I may have sworn myself to nonviolence, but what I really want is justice.

There are always gonna be fights you can't avoid.

[getdrekt]

[NOW you're speaking his language.]

Right. Always. Your job is to be prepared for that.

You don't "stop" someone who wants to kill you. You kill them.

[stormsoff]

[ ...........................

quiet, but firm. ]

If it has to come to that, then ... I'll do my best to be ready.

[ he doesn't want to kill anyone. he doesn't. the thought makes him sick. but asch has a point, too--if in his fight for justice someone doesn't care if he lives or dies, someone that's his opponent...

how much choice will he have in the matter? ]

[getdrekt]

Hmph.

[an appraising... look, even if it's not at Isaac directly.

finally, he nods.]

Good.

[that's that.]

[stormsoff]

[ looks up at him

glances away

... looks up at him again, more resolute. ]

Would you teach me?

[getdrekt]

[...............

it's a long pause. there's a lot going on.

but the answer is easy enough. it's just figuring out how to say it.]

...Keep your mouth shut, listen to what I tell you, and we'll see.

[stormsoff]

[ ....

figures. but:

Isaac will nod. ]

Understood.

[getdrekt]

[huh.

he said yes.

...]

If we get out of here.

[stormsoff]

When we get out of here. Who knows when it'll be, though.

[getdrekt]

Hopeful, aren't you?

[harumph!!

pretending like all that didn't just happen is the best course of action for his emotional regulation!!!!]

We've got no choice now except to wait and see.
