[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?

Apart from your names being strange, you're clearly being used here. Aren't you glad?

[goei]

The hell're you talkin' bout my name bein' strange, aah!?

I know that the thing of this week was being forced to be more honest with one another but I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do after reading this.

[drawnorigin]

Mr. Okada, I'm not sure if this is an intentional request for help or if you are simply inebriated or otherwise impacted by the manipulation of our emotional vulnerability.

[goei]

[There's a long delay before Izou actually responds to this.]

Shit


I didn't mean ta say all that
Forget ya saw any of this

[ushirono]

I'm guessing either your parents were fanatics of certain Japanese history or you're just unfortunate.

[goei]

Stop usin' all them big words ya don't have ta rub it in that you think yer smarter than me

[goei]

I am Japanese history, dumbass

[emptyself]

Normally, I'd say sure and forget about it.

But this kind of sounds like a cry for help. Are we supposed to help you, Okada? Or are you going to write another sad post like this tomorrow?

[ushirono]

Right.

If that's the case, I didn't think such a historical figure would be so pathetic.

[emptyself]

You are?! I didn't know that it was one person!

[ guess who is from the mountains, has two thumbs, and was failing most of his classes before coming here. ]

[ushirono]

He's a small part of it.

[drawnorigin]

I don't think I'm smarter than you. Truthfully, my education was quite lacking, as my parents couldn't afford to pay for it.

I'm simply concerned, but I don't want to place my concern on someone who wants nothing to do with it.

[emptyself]

Oh.

That makes more sense, actually. It'd be odd for one person to be all of history, wouldn't it?

Which part?

[beautifulknight]

But, I want to be friends with you.

I know of others who are not traditionally friendly, but that does not mean it is impossible. Why, I even have a dear friend of mine who tends to be quick to think to resort to violence, yet at the same time he is truly a good person once you get to know him.

Who says you can't make friends?

[ushirono]

Like he noted in the original text, he says that he's a killer, and he is if he is who he claims to be. If I remember correctly, it was in the mid 1800s--known for being one of the famous assassins.

[emptyself]

Oh.

No wonder he feels conflicted.

Hm, ]

I must ask this first, Mr. Okada. Did you mean to share this with everyone who can read this?

@rokuhira

[swordthatsmilesback]

So you think you're not suited for this because you can't make friends?

[ushirono]

About what?

[emptyself]

He can't make friends because he's just a tool for killing.

[ushirono]

There are plenty others who are much better at killing than making friends. If he wants to make friends so bad, he can perhaps find company in that.

[ says one of those better killer than friend people

But he doesn't want to. ]

[emptyself]

Are there those kinds of people in our group?

[ushirono]

How can you not notice.

[emptyself]

Because I'm not going around asking people whether they prefer to kill or make friends.
