March is the name of a month. Are you telling me it's also the name of a person? How uncreative.

[steelmyself]

[ from here ]

Isn't that a hopeless point of view? I hate to say it, master, but I may be the optimist here.

Perhaps it's possible to change things. To remove a blemish, like certain parts of humanity, from the past, and so correct the timeline.

At least, I'd imagine that to be the case. Of course, I would never plan something so reckless and foolish, myself.

[thesameoldstory]

The way I do it, we never even remember anything. It's a complete reset. Even if we could change the past we'd never remember what needs to be changed.

[steelmyself]

Surely you could find a way to send a note.

Ah, but it's a foolish plan anyway, I understand.

[steelmyself]

[ from here ]

...

[ He sighs and looks at the sign. ]

Love, huh.

[steelmyself]

[ from here ]

And why wouldn't you be? I am handsome and heroic.

[ that's a lot of bitter sarcasm in his voice ]

[foulhussy]

Heroism doesn't get you shit, and I think you know that.

[steelmyself]

Oh, good, you said it for me. Well, you were maybe a little more crude than I'd have been.

[foulhussy]

But you do it anyway, don't you?

[steelmyself]

[ from here ]

Sorry. My body disappears when I die.

[bosssfight]

I could eat you in pieces, and let the leftovers die and disappear.

[steelmyself]

If you're that hungry, I'll cook you something when we get out of here.

[bosssfight]

I'm always hungry.

[steelmyself]

[ from here ]

[ it really does but he's not admitting that to her. ]

Not at all. What I did was simply a natural outcome, so there's no point in getting worked up over it.

[rusemaster]

Natural outcome of what?

[steelmyself]

Of choosing the path I did.

[rusemaster]

Which was?

[steelmyself]

[ from here ]

Jeez, where did you bury your sense of self-preservation, young man?

[softariel]

[ He frowns at that immediately, his brows drawing together. ]

What do you mean, my self-preservation?

[ what do you mean, thinking he had any to begin with ]

[steelmyself]

[ points up at the sign with one hand and gestures at the crowd around it with the other ]

[softariel]

[ He just stares back for a few moments, then begins pointing at individuals himself. ]

That is my servant, who has sworn her arm to my service. That is a good friend of mine. That one is a young man who works at my library, who has been rebuilding his life. That is someone who was so angry at -- seeing me in misfortune that he threatened violence upon the person who did it to me.

That one is a dear friend, and I will fight you if you disparage him.

[ So that'd be Kyrie, Sanajeh, Ruka, Eliot, and Felix respectively. He doesn't actually blink as he rattles them off, either; it really is like he has no fear. ]

[steelmyself]

[ from here ]

I would if that was necessary.

But it might be that they're corrupted. Then I would have to destroy the source of the corruption as well.

[remarch]

That sounds great.

[ Not even joking. ]

I mean, like, if you can do it.

[steelmyself]

I wonder.

I wouldn't have doubted, once.

[remarch]

But now you're stuck here?
