[This post goes up pretty late on Wednesday night;]

this whole thing don't make any goddamn sense
'M good at fightin' an all but it's not like there ain't touchy feely types who can't also handle a fight
You got that damn prettyboy knight who looks like he aughta smell like roses
an' that golden guy who's all concerned 'bout people communicatin'
Even maid-san could probably make friends if she tried an' she sure's hell can fight
Prob'ly plenty others who can do both

So why me?
I ain't suited fer makin' friends
'M just a killer

They should've picked someone like Ryoma
Ryoma's always the one gettin' picked anyway
No one wants Okada Izou
S'that why I never get used right?

what th'hell are you talking about
I ain't open I want people to l-

I just gotta be left alone!
I don't wanna rely on anybody else!

[cirquedesang]

You can be an open book without relying on others.
It just means you're easy to understand.

[goei]

Tch

as if any of you understand me

[cirquedesang]

[Lining up the sniper shot--]

You're doing a very good job painting a picture for us.

An assassin by circumstance, with well-to-do friends - who you insist weren't friends at all - that ended up overshadowing you.
You're bitter about this, but can't hate that friend of yours, even though you seem to want to.
You say you don't want to make friends, but that's an obvious lie, and use "being a killer" as a reason to push people away, as if half of us haven't killed in our time.
You claim to not be a good person, but still have decided to protect people.

And that's all just from this post.

[goei]

That's
None of t-
Plenty of that's wrong!

I chose this, damnit! Don't make me sound like some sorta victim. Why th' hell wouldn't I wanna use the skills I got ta kill people??

Ryouma ain't my fuckin' friend anymore and I DO hate him!

And since when'm I protectin' anyone aah?

[cirquedesang]

Fine, you're not a victim, you are a very skilled, big scary assassin.
Would you have been an assassin if you had another choice, though?

And on protecting people... ah... what was that a few days ago about cutting down monsters? Is that not to protect anyone?

[goei]

Who said I didn't have a choice, bastard
before I'm an assassin I'm a sword genius and a manslayer so get that in yer fuckin skull

I fight monsters because I like fightin'

If it's useful that's just a side effect that it makes people wanna keep me around

[cirquedesang]

And yet you claim you don't care if people like you.

So why should it matter if people want to keep you around?

[goei]

those're two completely different things

as long as yer useful people'll keep ya around even if they don't like ya

[cirquedesang]

I wouldn't, if I could help it.

Sounds like a pain.

[goei]

I'm talkin about people
Humans, y'know
You wouldn't fuckin get it

[cirquedesang]

I was human once, too, you know.
And it's still awful to only be kept around as long as you can be useful.
Who the fuck knows what one person is going to decide is useful, anyway?

[Ah, shit, there's that pesky "speaking too freely" curse again.]

[goei]

I wish I knew
Then maybe Takechi sensei and Ryoma wouldn't've thrown me away

But I ain't got a good personality so I don't got any other choice damnit

[cirquedesang]

Best friends don't throw you away.

[So, like, maybe Ryoma was a shitty friend, actually? Or maybe he didn't throw Izou away as harshly as he thinks? He doesn't know much about Japanese history.]

You're prickly, sure, but it's cute.
I like your personality.

[goei]

[It's definitely the latter and yet Ryoma as a servant is still very apologetic to Izou anyway]

?????????????

The hell dyou mean cute????????

[cirquedesang]

[Izou... Izou let your friends love you!!!!!]

I meant what I said.
I like guys who get riled up easily.

[goei]

[No the hate is all that's holding him together!!!!]

who's riled up!!!! Yer the one sayin crazy shit!!!!

[cirquedesang]

[Let your friends' love hold you together instead!!!!]

You are.
Right now.
Look at all those !!!!s

[Ah the perils of texting... can't see his face. Terrible.]

[goei]

[No!!!! What if they change their mind!!!]

I didn't put'em there im sayin' all this inta the phone!!!

[cirquedesang]

[You have to trust they won't!!!]

Oh?
You're proving my point.

[goei]

There's still time fer me t'change my mind 'bout not killin' you, monster

[cirquedesang]

There is.
I'd prefer it if you didn't.

[goei]

Then ya better shut yer damn mouth
