[ Event: Ball ]
[Just as evening starts to fall, one of the parks in Sector 4 has been festooned with streamers, bright lights in a variety of colors, a big upraised dais, tables of refreshments, and music. It looks like a perfectly normal party from the outside. Optional masks are provided in little bins beside the dais, but you're responsible for your own costumes...!

...And if you're dressed as a character, the moment you step onto the dais, you will believe yourself to have led that character's life for your whole life. This effect will last until "midnight", in this case Sunday, even if you leave the party.]

	It's preferable to the alternative. [Living like a human is far more beneath her than working for the Defense Force.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Mn. [Of course, if this worked in her favor (and Revive's), he would be the only one without. That would leave him at a severe disadvantage. That would have to be rectified.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	limeskittle 2011-02-09 09:36 pm UTC (link)
	Besides, the Defense Force is made up of more than just humans, as is the population we're sworn to protect. [Give her some credit, she's trying to be optimistic] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	And that makes it okay...? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That said, what makes it so hard to believe that I would join? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trial_by_veda 2011-02-11 05:18 am UTC (link)
	It's not the joining that's hard to believe, but rather the following of their purpose. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I wouldn't do anything to damage my chances of getting my Quantum Brainwaves back. [total innocence here~] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trial_by_veda 2011-02-11 07:13 am UTC (link)
	That would be circumventing the consequences of our actions. [Not to mention really effin' unfair.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	limeskittle 2011-02-11 07:43 am UTC (link)
	I deserve another chance. It's been enough of a punishment already. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	And you really believe Acumen will be so forgiving? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	limeskittle 2011-02-11 07:19 pm UTC (link)
	I think if I'm willing to use them to make sure something like that doesn't happen again, I'll be allowed to have them back. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trial_by_veda 2011-02-11 09:08 pm UTC (link)
	You have a lot of confidence in the idea that Acumen would trust you for such a task. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	limeskittle 2011-02-11 10:08 pm UTC (link)
	Hacking the Dimensional Stabilizer wasn't my idea. You took advantage of me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[He almost stopped completely. It had been her choice to go along with it... unless Ribbons told her she had to.] You were under no obligation from me to participate. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	limeskittle 2011-02-11 11:13 pm UTC (link)
	I couldn't refuse once Ribbons decided to get involved. And what did I get for my trouble? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trial_by_veda 2011-02-12 06:46 am UTC (link)
	Then perhaps that's something you should take up with Ribbons should you see him again. [His tone is sharp, almost bitter. He wasn't to blame. It was her choice to follow Ribbons so blindly.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	limeskittle 2011-02-12 06:57 pm UTC (link)
	Forget it. You don't understand. [She looks away, watching other dancers] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trial_by_veda 2011-02-12 11:16 pm UTC (link)
	Don't I? You feel loyalty to Ribbons because you're the same, so you went along with it because he did. Don't any of you think for yourselves? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	limeskittle 2011-02-13 07:23 am UTC (link)
	It... wasn't enough. [That doesn't really answer his question, but she's a bit distracted anyway. Her voice is shaky and only just audible over the music, which is coming to an end. She stops, but remains in position, holding on to him.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trial_by_veda 2011-02-13 07:45 am UTC (link)
	...? [Tieria didn't know what to make of that at all.] What? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	limeskittle 2011-02-13 08:06 am UTC (link)
	You were there. [She doesn't feel the need to explain any more than that, nor does she feel she can. Tilting her head down, her eyes are concealed under the brim of her hat.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trial_by_veda 2011-02-13 08:10 am UTC (link)
	For what happened here or at home? [After all, he saw Ribbons bring about his own demise twice, in a way...] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	limeskittle 2011-02-13 08:27 am UTC (link)
	["Both" is what she wants to say, but instead she only nods slightly.] All I ever wanted was to please him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Have you ever considered being independant?

[Tieria had never answered directly to Ribbons. Anything he had done had come and gone through VEDA, though he couldn't deny the possibility that he'd been fed information from Ribbons at times to sway Celestial Being's actions. He wasn't sure, but he wouldn't have been surprised to find out if that had been case. However, even then, he'd been working for VEDA, not on his own. Losing it had been a hard blow, but the experience had taught him more than any information download could have. He could act on his own and make his own decisions. In a way, Ribbons had inadvertanly given him something of a gift.]

You don't always have to work just to please someone else.

	I don't have a choice now. [She raises her voice a little, but then sighs, letting go of him and turning her back. There's more she wants to say, but she would rather sit at a table.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
