My family made a lot of enemies that way.

[Messy disconnections being murder. You kill someone, and someone else tends to end up pissed, after all.]

It sounds like I would have to learn to be okay with people underestimating me so that I could take advantage of it.

It makes sense, though.

[impede]

I'm not fond of being underestimated.

[Understatement of the century. Akechi doesn't even know it.]

I am, however, of the belief that you can seem harmless and completely for someone's cause. Loyal. There is a way to sell that.

[tribridfreakshow]

i'll take it into consideration.

[In her current emotional state, she'd rather just strong-arm someone into doing what she needed, but that's probably only going to make things worse for her.]

[impede]

We're still very new to this world. Opportunities will come to us in time.

[Akechi believes that. The bigger issue is that it doesn't come with the comforts of Japan, of what he always knew best.]

[tribridfreakshow]

too bad that takes patience, something i'm a little short of these days.

[impede]

What will your impatience drive you to do?

[tribridfreakshow]

make the wrong decision. choose the wrong allies. maybe i'll just go crazy.

[impede]

Is there a chance of any of that?

[tribridfreakshow]

actually going crazy? no. i know what crazy feels like. i'm much more firmly in the pissed off and frustrated camp.

[impede]

So, the worry is recklessness?

[tribridfreakshow]

it doesn't matter. i'll figure it out.

or are you going to claim you're actually worried about me?

[impede]

Hardly. I'm more curious about your perspective.

[tribridfreakshow]

usually when i'm about to lose it, i would either turn into a werewolf and run wild through the forest, or i'd use magic to expend my energy. i can't do either of those things anymore.

[impede]

It's sounding more and more like my video games suggestion wasn't a bad one. How strange.

[tribridfreakshow]

strange is basically my middle name. i'm a freakshow, i know.

[impede]

I think you're mistaking the application of strange there.

[tribridfreakshow]

does it really matter? i'm not wrong, am i?

[impede]

It does matter because within this context, you're being selfish to berate yourself. I'm not interested.

[tribridfreakshow]

i guess i'll go bother someone else then.

thanks for checking in on me.

[If he were a normal person, he might take care to point out that she should reread what he said.

But he doesn't have that particular claim to fame.]

Goodbye, then.
