Big Decisions Startle Me | text (sn: healerprincess)

[im_gonna_heal_u]

Hey everyone. Konoka here, with a couple of announcements, as well as a few questions regarding them. Guess I need to open up with the first one.

Has anyone ever woken up and found themselves gifted with a small business? Because um. That's what happened to me. I'm the owner of Love Bites now. The previous owner, Shell Overlord, gave it to me before he disappeared, because I was his favorite customer. And um, I dunno what to do with this... outside keeping it running. (´°ω°`)

But in other news...! I'm starting a Marie Fanclub! (*＾▽＾)／ It's in celebration of the awesome founder of Salon de Marie! My Queen has a lot of fans, so I feel like I should reach out to all of you that like her, so we can meet and chat about wonderful things! Who else would be interested? I am in no way doing this as an employee of the place, just to get that out there!

I think that's all for now.

I thought it was only little boys who thought everything has cooties. It's kinda cute coming from you.

If that's all you have to say then bye~!

[howlmyrage]

Find a better idol than some idiot who let the French betray her and didn't even complain as they sentenced her to death.

[im_gonna_heal_u]

Oh, so you know your history! That's good.

[ Konoka knows but only cuz Marie told her, shhhh. ]

But the Marie here is pretty far away from the Marie that died, I don't think that matters.

[howlmyrage]

They're the same person, idiot. That sort of thing doesn't leave you.

What do you even like about her anyway?

[im_gonna_heal_u]

And I'm saying it doesn't matter.

She quite saved me from a lot of despair and apparently helped out a lot of people here

Which is a lot more than what I can say for you.

[howlmyrage]

I've helped enough people for all my lifetimes. It wasn't worth it.

You should ask your idol about Jeanne d'Arc sometime.

[im_gonna_heal_u]

[ Hmph! ]

Maybe I will.

[ There was something to that which might have explained Jalter a lot more, but Konoka was too busy seeing red. Oh well, maybe when she's calmer... ]

For once in your life, sheathe that tongue of yours.

[So to speak, since this is text.]

[howlmyrage]

Or what, Charles? What could you possibly do to me that would make me stop?

[painalty]

You know perfectly well what I am capable of.

[It's a semi-bluff. He has no intention of hunting Jeanne Alter down for her head (especially considering that he's in Marie's apartment right now) but it's never a good idea to press an executioner's berserk button - which, in this case, is trash talking Marie Antoinette.]

Still, I'm certain you have better things to do with your time than insulting people over the network.

[howlmyrage]

I do know what you're capable of, and I suggest you go hit your history books again if you think Jeanne d'Arc can be dissuaded by a big knife. I'm not one of those powdered nobles you're so fond of lopping the heads off.

[ As it turns out, Alter actually doesn't have anything better to do than insulting people over the network. After all, there's no greater entertainment than dismantling people's faith before their very eyes. ]

[painalty]

[Alter, living the good life.]

Death is no respecter of social class, standing or identity.

[howlmyrage]

So why is it the good and young always die first, while the rich and powerful get fat off their blood? Why did I have to die screaming at the stake while she got to go painlessly? You're full of it.

[painalty]

To answer your questions:

1. The rich and powerful who take advantage of others will not escape justice and are bound to pay for their sins as well.

2. Unfortunately, it took society centuries to accept that a painless, uniform execution for all was fairer than, say, burning at the stake. For France, that happened during my time.

[howlmyrage]

[ Sanson's logical answer aggravated Jeanne Alter more than anything. Especially when she still fundamentally disagreed. ]

You really believe that, don't you? Did you think they didn't know cleaner ways to kill a man? Or that there is any judgement beyond what can be brought down by human hands?

I pity you.

[ If Jeanne Alter hadn't killed Pierre Cauchon herself, he would have lived to the ripe old age of 71, and died quietly of a heart attack. Jeanne d'Arc's retrial wouldn't happen until more than a decade after his death. ]

[painalty]

I did say it took them centuries to ACCEPT a painless and uniform execution. I don't discount the possibility of them already knowing about these methods.

And, I pity you, for wasting your time grumbling about a fan club you are more than free to ignore.

[howlmyrage]

The farm girl who got too big for the English dying as painfully as possible was the point.

And I'm hardly the only one who can't ignore things here. What does Marie's fan club have to do with you?

[painalty]

Nothing. For one thing, I'm not part of it.

Do you think insulting Marie would change the decisions she made in the past? Or make her regret them?

[He's brutally honest about not joining the club......only because he's too embarrassed to actually do so.]

[howlmyrage]

If she changes her mind and joins the France burning team, that certainly works for me. If she doesn't, hey, at least I'm having fun.

[painalty]

You WOULD find the fun in that. A win-win situation for you, then?
