They're like manastones but they have dangerous side effects.

[ actually just checking, this robot doesn't have any, does it? ]

You're not the first mess we've dealt with over the past few months, and the rest of them had that in common.

[promittere]

[ The robot, in fact, does not have any inside! Just used up mana stones.

Victor groans in pain. ]

I don't know anything about that... [ Blood continues to pool beneath him. ] But maybe...there might've been one in the lab...

[lighthaus]

[ you know if this guy bleeds out before everyone can make a decision, that solves that pretty neatly. khun because he's terrible, will not voice this. ]

Sure. [ he can guess that there might have been one because Murr Hart. ]

So then all of this tonight was just you, acting on your own?

[promittere]

You—

[ His fingers curl aggressively into the dirt, and he chokes out another groan. ]

One of you told the general what I did...and I lost my job...! You got me fired...!

[ Weakly, he pounds his fist on the ground. ]

I couldn't take it...!

[fellheart]

[ oh, so it wasn't a plausible deniability thing?

have you considered not doing headass things in foreign territory like you apparently have without your commanding officers' approval first? no? (not) understandable, have a nice evening.

also like, was that one off line about your men just an afterthought? sure sounds like you care about your job more than them, lmaaaaaao ]

[lighthaus]

Did we? That's unfortunate. [ do you see this innocent face? this face would not tell a lie or feel any guilt at looking this man straight in the face even if he's just been called out as the raison d'etre (not that many people know this, but still~). been there done that, will continue to do that, etc etc!

man the general still owes him a drink...

also, as much as he could wheedle this guy for talking about his job problems at a BALL he won't. please praise him for the mercy he's decided to show actually he chooses not to because he knows this type will just get distracted ]

Though that wasn't a direct answer to my question.

[promittere]

[Even with Bruno's healing magic, the man is incredibly crabby.]

Does it even matter? All of my hard work and it just amounts to nothing...

[Why won't anyone feel bad for him?????]

[lighthaus]

Oh, it matters. More for you than me.

But if you want to stick with your implication that it was all your fault and you're the only one to blame for this, be my guest.

[ he won't ask again, so speak now or forever hold your peace.

or get an interrogator with a heart. ]

[foresightis2020]

Perhaps you should have realized your actions have consequences first, and they are not something that can be easily shoved onto anyone else.

You should be thankful that you're even still allowed to breathe, and having been healed as well.

[ For now.

He still has his weapon with him and out, so like. That isn't a given.

He thinks the man can stand to be more cooperative all things considered, but he isn't expecting much of that. ]

[divineth]

[Ah. Good gods this whole series of events is a mess from start to finish.]

[mirristry]

[Just kind of. Clearing his throat over here.]

Perhaps... we should heal him at least somewhat...

[impacter]

[Mmm yeah he's on Phil's side here.]

So long as he stays restrained. There's no need to let him bleed out right this second.

[mirristry]

[Thank u for the support, Solomon, you're a real one.]

Yes, that's my thought as well. Whatever happens after that can be decided amongst ourselves, but I for one have no wish to watch a man die slowly in front of us.

[dyingtohealyou]

I can do it. I've already healed him once, anyway.

[mirristry]

Please. And... thank you.

[fallingsand]

...yeah, I was just thinking that. Um. Can you try and keep him from trying to grab me when I go in?

[ He doesn't know how. Figure it out, Phil, you're a smart man (probably). Regardless, Bruno is going to weave his way past the other wizards and kneel down by Victor. ]

Er, hang on. Just. Just one second.

[ Bruno is going to reach out to gently lay a hand on his back and whisper a healing spell to get him to at least stop bleeding out. This spell comes with a heaping dose of "please calm the heck down" vibes. ]

[mirristry]

[BRUNO DOES THIS MAN LOOK LIKE HE COULD RESTRAIN SOMEONE--

But, uh. He can do magic, so yeah, he's (probably) got this? Somehow.]

[dyingtohealyou]

[Bruno, you're being too nice to him...

But, well, that's what makes Bruno great anyway. So he'll just be nearby, ready to cast in case Victor gets any funny ideas.]

[lighthaus]

[ he's trying to interrogate a man here wow

though if he's healed that means he can just rebreak things...

okay no

this guy isn't even worth that much effort~ ]

[foresightis2020]

[ Somehow, he is literally unsurprised at hearing the man attempt to blame others for his mistakes.

Again. ]

[leewards]

Aah? Now you're saying it's because you lost work?

Pathetic. Always money and prestige with your sort, isn't it?

[dyingtohealyou]

[OH SO IT'S KHUN'S FAULT. COOL.]

[fullspbar]

[ ...Tried killing them all because he got fired. Damn.

Somehow, he feels he should be surprised, but he isn't. Everybody else's fault but his own, right. ]

[shadowkin]

Ehh, did that happen? That’s too bad.

[It’s insincere as heck but mostly because he’s already bored with this guy, he’s like the worst dropout delinquent in the world that somebody then stuffed into a robot. Mech pilots should be cooler than this!! This is an affront to the giant robot genre!! Sighhhh.

He does sigh out loud.]

Were you trying to keep it hush-hush or something? Doesn’t sound like you did a good job there either, I’m just saying...

[lustro]

Yeaaahhh, that's too bad.

[ Drier than a toast sandwich. ]
