Hey.  I’m not into public introductions, it feels like AA or something.  Name’s Rudolf Ushiromiya, just got a few questions here for the rest of you.

Anyone know how exactly they decide where you go?  It’s like a horoscope, right?  Personalities and all that.  So what’s the formula, if you want specifics, it’d be Baldr.  If you don’t like how they judged you, who do you talk to about getting a switch?  I don’t like the idea of somebody just assuming who I am.

Oh yeah, and what kind of jobs are up for grabs, or businesses that might be needed.  This suite doesn’t really suit my tastes.  …And I guess I’m gonna have to buy cigarettes.

He defied me for your sake for quite a while!

[vidya~]

[gunsgoldgirls]

Probably not for mine. Ange, Kyrie and the others, sure, but not me!

[vidya~]

[highstakesgame]

If it wasn't for your sake too, he could've argued with me from a much stronger standpoint. But he refused.

He would sooner have been torn to pieces by my stakes than think you might have killed anyone.

[vidya~] 1/2

[gunsgoldgirls]

What are you even talking about?

[vidya~]

[gunsgoldgirls]

...Well, that just proves he's an idiot, anyway.

[vidya~]

[highstakesgame]

I told him! But he insisted on being honorable!

I think he must like pain!

[vidya~]

[gunsgoldgirls]

He knows I'm a bastard, he tells me so himself! It's not like I've done it with my own hands, but there are other ways to kill somebody, I'm not afraid to admit it. What's with 'being honourable'?

[vidya~]

[highstakesgame]

Well, he seems to have a higher opinion of you than you give yourself credit for!

[vidya~]

[gunsgoldgirls]

That's the thing, he shouldn't, he was right the first time.

[vidya~]

[highstakesgame]

If it's all the same to you, I'd rather you not tell him things like that. He'd be devastated.

[vidya~]

[gunsgoldgirls]

I don't need to give him any more reasons to hate me. It's not my fault if people wanna go that route, but he wouldn't see it that way and just yell at me. Nobody needs nagging from their kids.

[*cackle*]

Have you considered that at least some of the distance between you is self-imposed?

[vidya~]

[gunsgoldgirls]

I know it is! I don't know how the hell I'm supposed to act with him.

[vidya~]

[highstakesgame]

Then why don't you try to resolve your side?

[Beato's giving relationship advice, this never ends well]

[vidya~]

[gunsgoldgirls]

[Don't even try to fix this......]

I'm trying! It's not easy, okay? Kind of have to wait for the right moment, you know? I was gonna, but...well, things got messed up.

[You know, you started killing people]

[vidya~]

[highstakesgame]

Well, you seem to have all the time in the world to work at it here!

[*cackle*]

[vidya~]

[gunsgoldgirls]

I don't know, we're kind of missing someone to make it work, there's not much of an impact otherwise.

[vidya~]

[highstakesgame]

While it's unfortunate, are you really intending to wait until your wife gets here to talk to Battler?

[vidya~]

[gunsgoldgirls]

[Shit she knows?! UWOO?!]

Er, well...it's easier to just say it once than have to explain myself twice. Plus it's not like he's going to believe me if it's just me and him, that or he won't care 'cause I'm still a bastard, having to look at someone else is different.

[vidya~]

[highstakesgame]

[oh man, she's just encouraging him to try and mend things up with his son - she wasn't even referring to that! But hey, she'll roll with that, too!]

Oh, he'll care.

[especially since she's taunted him with it]

Of course, you could also inform him before your wife. That way it isn't two-on-one against you.

[because you'll probably need Battler to keep Kyrie from killing you, Rudolf]

[vidya~] Beato's family councelling

[gunsgoldgirls]

[It's tough being a playboy and no one understands.]

...That's a pretty good point. Any help there is good. But it's still tough to figure out what to do when you can't tell how they'll react, you know?

[Battler might understand and forgive him...or he could just rage that much more. Kyrie is even worse, the normal assumption would be that she would cry, except as far as he's aware that isn't really something she does. He also would have no idea how to handle that, especially not with her, so he sure hopes it doesn't ever happen. She probably wouldn't yell at him...right? Since that's another thing that just doesn't happen. If he just got the cold shoulder, that might be alright, he could understand that, it just might be the most likely. But he just can't predict what either will do, which is what's really holding him back.]

[vidya~] She's so generous~

[highstakesgame]

Can you really not tell? Or does it scare you that much?

[yeah, she really would kill you, dude. Kyrie don't fuck around]

In any case, why don't you do one thing at a time instead of trying to confront them both at once?

[vidya~] Thank you, oh great Beatrice-sama for offering this lowly businessman your advice

[gunsgoldgirls]

[It's true...she's usually pretty easygoing about his crap, a little too easygoing, but still terrifying at the same time.
(my Kyrie's been told twice and cried both times, but wanted to take it out on Battler when Rudolf told her, eheh)]

'Cause then I only have to do it once! You really want me to that bad?

[vidya~] It's what she *does*

[highstakesgame]

It seems like you're the one who'd rather go ahead and get it over with. Just as an observation.

[vidya~] So selfless

[gunsgoldgirls]

Heh, I guess you're right. Still, you can't force it! He's gonna kill me, so...

[Wow he didn't think he would be having this conversation with the witch, what's even going on...]
