[ dude don’t drop a lady’s rank because she’s shittalking you in front of this entire bar. that’s rude. ]

I see. So it is more like micromanaging on multiple levels, when you are not simply using it to stop umbrellas. There are theories that time is relative to an individual as well — if you are halting time on multiple different levels depending on how an individual perceives it, then—

[ and she’s off. ]

Spread too thin? Something like that.

[teufelshund]

Something like that.

In any case, it's more complicated than I make it look.

[psynchronise]

[ aiba is still mumbling about time and also einstein’s theory of relativity in the background but i’m not typing all of that up. ]

And the result of slipping is—

[ he taps the bar counter. ] Pretty much this then.

[teufelshund]

[ yeah, letting his control of time slip too much usually leads to the creation of bar counters. ]

If you mean being here, then yes.

The point is I have a lot on my plate and I don't just play around 24/7.

[psynchronise]

[ now that would be a neat power. ]

Hmm.

Not so much now though, huh? [ seeing as, y'know. they're all dead and one of them double died in the most yakety sax way possible. ]

[teufelshund]

Well, yeah, here there hasn't been a whole lot to do outside of trying and failing to get useful answers.

[psynchronise]

So your plan didn’t really work out for you then?

[ >:/ ]

[teufelshund]

The information I got from that wasn't useless, but unfortunately it did more to disprove the theories I'd had than support them.

[psynchronise]

[ stares into the abyss for a couple of minutes. ]

How tragic for you.

[ dryly. ]

[teufelshund]

Unfortunate for everyone that it didn't get us closer to getting out of here.

[ sips. ]

You've known what I am for a while. Did it really come as a surprise that I didn't share your human sense of morality?

[psynchronise]

Seems like the party is the only way, but there’s flexibility there.

[ siiiiighs. ]

Not exactly. [ … ] I figured you’d decided whatever came out of taking that plunge was too much hassle for you to bother with, seeing as you didn’t do anything for weeks. But you picked a hell of a time to suddenly decide it was worth it.

[ a Side Look ] And a hell of a couple of people to test your theories on.

[teufelshund]

I didn't intend to try anything until I had a reason to, and had reason to believe the pros would outweigh the cons. At that point we'd had two weeks of unintentional deaths followed by one partially unsolved double murder, and we also knew that all of the dead still existed, were able to contact us, and didn't seem to be any worse off than we were.

It was the first time it made sense to give it a shot. In retrospect I suppose I could have chosen a killer with fewer emotional attachments than myself, but it really came down to what was convenient that night.

[psynchronise]

Genuinely the worst timing you could’ve come up with, that your reason to act cropped up right at the point no one actually needed to die anymore.

[ which, as far as date thinks, is probably a factor in how furious people were. ]

Although… well. It didn’t stop it happening again anyway. [ sorry to filbo only. ]

[teufelshund]

[ me rereading that last tag and wondering why my drunk ass wrote "than myself" instead of "than i did", as if anyone has fewer emotional attachments than this fucker ]

It sure didn't!

[ shrugs. ]

I understand why most of you are angry about it, and it's fair, going by your standards. I just see things differently. And in the end we all ended up here in one place anyway.

[psynchronise]

[ this entire game has been "blame the drink" so, that's my valid advice to you. ]

Yeah, well.

You kinda got the "finding out" part of "fucking around" handed to you pretty swiftly afterwards, so it's up the individual if they want to stay pissed. Sounds like we have a potential chance to get even those who were killed a second chance if we play our cards right, so it's better to put energy into that as far as I'm concerned.

[ and y'know. everything that happened in trial, especially the skull breaking thing. yikes. ]

[teufelshund]

[ he smiles. ]

Well, we see things the same way in that regard, then.

If you find yourselves in need of a little sleight of hand when "playing your cards", I'll be happy to assist if I can.

[psynchronise]

Guess we'll need to see what everyone comes up with for this weekend. I can't think of many situaitons where stopping time here and there wouldn't be useful, honestly.

Imagine if Pewter could pull off a complete halt of time in a Somnium, instead of a disruption it how it flows when immobile. [ if a little eyeball hamster can look wistful, then that's how she looks. ]

It would make my job a lot easier.

[ ... ]

... Three. Three? The man wears body tight material and there's nothing there. I am not commenting on my creator's backside.

[teufelshund]

[ trying to remember pewter's ass from that memshare... ]

...Yeah, that one sounds fair.

[psynchronise]

[ he's deep in this hell now so he might as well have more of this drink. ]

See? My rankings are spot on.

[teufelshund]

Maybe. I'm reserving my decision on that until after you give me my rating.

[psynchronise]

[ haha ]

…

[ his mouth twitches like he’s fighting the urge to blurt out a ranking. thanks drink. ]

[teufelshund]

[ stares at him ]

[psynchronise]

[ stares back.


aiba is just watching this happen like “men (derogatory)”. ]

[teufelshund]

[ slowly sips his drink. ]

[psynchronise]

[ this is just the rest of the thread because date is reFUSING to give into the compulsion to rate mephisto’s ass.

(no)

(but his head is on the counter now and aiba is patting his hair) ]
