I've lost a lot of friends in two weeks, so some company sounds good.
[ am i like one of the few people that are like... there must be a table here? He will offer Childe a small ice cream cup! But goes back to eating his own. ]
She didn't need my support. [And he likes Law better than Medb does, but that's because he doesn't strongly dislike anyone here.] People here seem to want justice, for some reason.
[Okay when has he ever not been nice besides just now.
But he has no problem answering.] I did. Both the robot and Fukuda would've become a problem sooner or later.
[Yeah. It's not like Childe hated him or anything, he just didn't want to end up in a position where he'd have to deal with him personally. Not his thing.]
Well, it's not like you had to. [No one liked HK-47 except for Childe, who is not stupid enough to admit it.] The voting system is ridiculous anyway.
Or someone's cruel idea of entertainment, I suppose. It would be kinder to let us deal with each other as we see fit.
[Because even if they chose to kill someone over murdering, there are plenty of people here capable of exerting lethal force quickly. The executions are a farce.]
[Something about this tag is just taking me the fuck out I'm in tears]
I understand "an eye for an eye". [So he wouldn't fault anyone for that, tbh, even if the only people who'd ever spark that urge in him are his family members.] But apparently we can't have something that simple.
You would think so. You'd really think so. And generally, yes, that's probably it!! Sometimes you get upset that your God Buddy tricked you and you unleash your Abyssal power on a person you said you weren't gonna kill five minutes earlier. It's fine.
But no, actually--the question makes his brow furrow, as he takes a bite of his own ice cream.]
It depends on why I'm upset, really. [It, uh. Doesn't happen very often.] And if there's anything to be done about it.
[That's what you get for getting attached to people in Hotel Murderfornia Gojou!!!!
--Childe does not say, because that's mean.]
Mm. [...] For me, if there's nothing to be done for it, then I turn my focus forward. But not before, ah, indulging in distractions, I guess you could say.
[ BUT CHILDE IS RIGHT. Gojou thinks about this for a second... Focus forward, distractions, and what would that be for him? Refining his technique when he doesn't have it? He's binge eating, so he guesses that's one thing.
Remember when everyone was like there's a table in the kitchen??? Well, Gojou stabs his spoon into it, driving the metal in. The table's surface cracks and splits a bit.

w3, saturday! post-trial

Childe just glances at him as he wanders in, taking a seat at the table that they apparently have in here. Wow.]
Care for some company?

no subject
But he'll take an ice cream cup. Thanks, buddy.]
If you still need a hug, I have it on very biased authority that mine are pretty good.
no subject
I'll only take a hug if you want to give me one.
[ Not because he needs one. He isn't looking for a charity anymore. ]
no subject
[He doesn't not want to, but he's not going to invade Gojou's space out of nowhere. That's not really the relationship they have.]
...Did you vote?
no subject
[ Gojou wouldn’t have minded since he’s pretty touchy, just not affectionate touchy. Anyway, he won’t beg. ]
Nope. I didn’t. Did you vote for Law?
no subject
It's hardly a contract. Just ask.
[Childe isn't heartless enough to not hug somebody he likes?? Apparently that makes him nicer than the Avatars. Terrible.
But he shakes his head.]
I didn't vote at all.
no subject
Thought you would vote to console Queenie. [ Medb. Anyway: ] Did you vote any of the rounds? I'm not going to judge or anything.
no subject
But, he shrugs.]
She didn't need my support. [And he likes Law better than Medb does, but that's because he doesn't strongly dislike anyone here.] People here seem to want justice, for some reason.
[Okay when has he ever not been nice besides just now.
But he has no problem answering.] I did. Both the robot and Fukuda would've become a problem sooner or later.
no subject
I have my own opinions on Fukuda, but that's understandable.
[ Gojou isn't fucking blind. Fukuda was a serial killer, but anyway. ]
I didn't vote for anyone because I forgot to put in my vote for the robot.
no subject
Well, it's not like you had to. [No one liked HK-47 except for Childe, who is not stupid enough to admit it.] The voting system is ridiculous anyway.
no subject
[ Like. 1, if none of them voted. It's stupid??? Gojou closes his eyes. ]
All of this really sounds like a social experiment.
no subject
Or someone's cruel idea of entertainment, I suppose. It would be kinder to let us deal with each other as we see fit.
[Because even if they chose to kill someone over murdering, there are plenty of people here capable of exerting lethal force quickly. The executions are a farce.]
no subject
[ WHY DOES IT EXIST? IF NOT TO BE USED? BUT THEY PUT THE JAIL IN THE SIM ROOM? ]
no subject
I understand "an eye for an eye". [So he wouldn't fault anyone for that, tbh, even if the only people who'd ever spark that urge in him are his family members.] But apparently we can't have something that simple.
no subject
Literal "an eye for an eye" doesn't help anyone and the consolation only lasts for maybe a couple of days? Might even be less.
[ At least that's what Gojou thinks. He groans and continues to eat his ice cream. ]
In the end, death is just an easy way out.
[ it may or may not just be gojou being pissed he can't torture douman cause the clown is fucking dead ]
no subject
I suppose I can't argue with that.
[It's not really his thing, but he can't say he doesn't get it.]
no subject
[ Nicknames are always in style. ]
What do you usually do what you're upset?
[ it's a fighty answer isn't it why is gojou fucking asking ]
no subject
You would think so. You'd really think so. And generally, yes, that's probably it!! Sometimes you get upset that your God Buddy tricked you and you unleash your Abyssal power on a person you said you weren't gonna kill five minutes earlier. It's fine.
But no, actually--the question makes his brow furrow, as he takes a bite of his own ice cream.]

no subject
[ Damn, Childe, your baggage. The lore in the meta. Hmmmm. ]
More than upset, I feel empty.
no subject
--Childe does not say, because that's mean.]
Mm. [...] For me, if there's nothing to be done for it, then I turn my focus forward. But not before, ah, indulging in distractions, I guess you could say.
[This sounds lewd but no, there's the fighting]
I'd imagine it's not the same for you, though.
no subject
Remember when everyone was like there's a table in the kitchen??? Well, Gojou stabs his spoon into it, driving the metal in. The table's surface cracks and splits a bit.
Then he looks up? Looks to certain directions. ]
I guess that felt nice for a bit.
no subject
It never really lasts, but it doesn't usually hurt.
[...
well okay it hurts other people but that's not how he meant it, and also, whatever who cares about them.]
I'd offer to grab you a drink, but after what happened with Shi Qingxuan, I'm sure the bar is being heavily guarded.
no subject
I've been drinking here and there... Small sips, really.
[ Even that night, most of the drinks he liked were sweet and barely tasted like alcohol. ]
But the truth is I don't like alcohol.
