[Not really. Except they would be if Forte answered the question with something completely unexpected.]
My question is my answer. I am merely concerned for the well-being of the UnderNet.
no subject
[ Forte floats a little higher above the debris littering the floor, bristling and arms still folded. ]
Aren't you always... [ oh, caring about protecting a network area. finnnne, Serenade gets a (curt) answer then. ]
There was a buffoon who assumed he could outrun me. He assumed wrong. [ yep. SURE CAME HERE JUST FOR MURDER. AN EXCELLENT REASON. And then Serenade had turned up and made things go from manageable to this. ]
no subject
Why not try to engage with me genuinely? You may be surprised.
[Because Serenade would not mock him if Forte spoke from his heart. But it's an unlikely prospect, even if it was something they hoped would happen one day.]
Hm... I should have expected as much from you.
[Since when is murder not on Forte's mind? (Probably never.)
Serenade places his hands together and closes his eyes for a small prayer for Forte's victim.]
May he rest in peace now.
no subject
I'm speaking to you right now. Why is that not sufficient?
[ a refusal to what Serenade's words actually mean. speaking so openly to another implies a level of trust he can't bring himself to feel for Serenade, beyond the simplicity of 'Serenade can be trusted to act like themselves.' ]
[ he scoffs, still rolling over the hints of why Serenade had came here in his head. ]
He ought to have known what awaits losers when he faced me.
It's cowardly to run from a fight.
[ (it's satisfying to think about smashing things apart.)
Serenade's gesture wins a momentary flicker of disgruntled bafflement across Forte's face, already gone by the time Serenade's eyes open again. ]
no subject
[Serenade catches the defensive motion and graces Forte with a gentle, inviting smile. They mean it, if Forte's willing to open himself to them. They know it's unlikely, but the offer's there all the same.
The moment's lost when Forte speaks brusquely of the deleted Navi, and the smile's replaced with a more neutral expression.]
Yes, he should have known better than to engage in battle with you. It is unfortunate that I was not able to ward him of his foolish notions before he paid the ultimate price.
[He doesn't mean to speak ill of the dead, but it's the cold truth. Forte was far too powerful for any run-of-the-mill Navi to tackle alone.]
no subject
he doesn't pursue it. ]
[ unapologetic, Forte tilts his chin up. it was only a shame that said deleted Navi hadn't proved to have much in the way of powers worthy stealing after troubling himself to wipe him out from cyberspace. once one was deleted, why should it matter if people called them fools? deletion ended it all. ]
Unfortunate, you say? I don't want your meddling, Serenade, whether or not he was an idiot to try me. [ which, yes admittedly he was in the cold light of the facts. King or not: ] You weren't that scum's keeper.
[that Forte had known full well the Navi he'd deleted, after chasing him into the maze, hadn't been in his league and been outmatched from the start of the battle, went without saying. Forte sees it as no reason to have held back and spared him. it's how most battles went for Forte after all, save his conflicts with Serenade. ]
no subject
[Because Forte obviously didn't need any protecting of his own.
But being King was exactly that: protecting every single Navi that fell under their jurisdiction. It was just unfortunate that some Navis were too stubborn to listen to them.]
no subject
[ not meddling right now anyway, Forte mentally corrects.
he doesn't give a lot of weight to their drivel about protection and mercy to others, but... he can acknowledge in earnest, without blinking, that's a very real motivation for Serenade. ]
... A drab wish to spurred on by.
no subject
One no greater or lesser than yours.
[Acknowledging that Forte also has strong motivations, and despite their disapproval, no less legitimate.]
no subject
that his might not triumph in the end isn't a thought that crosses Forte's mind.]I don't think you would've stayed on top for this long if your desire was weak.
[ ... it's not an insult at least. ]
no subject
Indeed. The will to protect.... or destroy requires more will than many expect.
no subject
at Serenade's amusement, Forte unfolds his arms. he tsks, remembering witnessing other Navis fumbling along, satisfying themselves with mediocrity, instead of aspiring higher. ]
Many of them lack the spine to commit to a purpose.
[ ... you know what else would be nice? a certain somebody showing the will that has failed to manifest so far to be helpful towards the end of getting out of the maze. ]
no subject
Not all can muster the will to doggedly pursue a single goal no matter the cost. That is a trait only few have. [...] Though, I suppose that could also be called having a one-track mind. [nudge nudge
Nahhh, why ruin the fun?]
no subject
are they not
chummyweirdly companionable enough right now for you, Serenade? ][ ...
=_= ]
[ EYEBALLING SERNADE do they think they're being subtle, they're not being subtle. Forte allows himself an exasperated eye-roll. actually, it's called 'knowing what you want and going for it.' fine, be that way! pest. ]
You know what, shut up.
[ if you have nothing new to say!! ]
no subject
No, they're not trying to be subtle, since Forte can't escape from them anyway. A laugh escapes from the King's mouth.]
I think I will not, thank you very much~
[Hurr hurr you can't control Serenade whatcha gonna do now]
sighs this account just doesn't have enough varied angry icons
[ spin on heel, and stalk off towards the left bend in the pathway ahead, that's what
he anticipates Serenade following him, persistent as they are, but he can't do anything about that. so ]
This account doesn't have enough icons period, 15 is not enough
Coming from you, I'll take it as a compliment.
[And follow they do, of course. Forte is stuck with Serenade until they both make it out of the maze of warp pads and broken links, it seems.]
S-SAME... i feel your pain
> for now, IGNORE. ]
[ dumping the slow stroll from before they stopped to talk, Forte sets a brisk pace. still turning over what Serenade implied to be their 'good reason' for entering the area when they had discovered he had gone into it, in his head. what could...
(on the bright side, the next big obstacle of debris in their way gets exploded with rather unnecessary vigor.)
first warp pad they come to on the other side of it, he's stepping straight onto it. WHERE DOES IT GO, FURTHER IN OR CLOSER TO THE EXIT ]
no subject
As expected, Serenade picks up their own pace, setting themselves by Forte's side, watching him blow through the debris.]
Very impressive~
[The warp pad LEADS... a lot farther into the network than one would have expected. In fact, it's now close enough to whatever was in the center that even Forte would be able to pick up its energy signature.
The moment Serenade lands on the exiting warp pad and steps out, their good humour is replaced with a slight frown. Whether it's from the energy signature or them getting even more lost... it's a mystery.]
Oh dear.
no subject
let him have this little delusion.Forte bites back a snap at Serenade in response as the dust clouds billowing up from said destruction fade away, glancing sideways at them, frustrated. he looks ahead again. to the warp pad once it's hit. ]
[ having been in the lead and gotten out of the warp pad first, Forte is 1.) deciding nope, this wasn't anywhere they had passed by (or closer to the outside of area) before 2.) already floating to the edge of the new pathway by the time Serenade does, peering in the direction now-easily identified pulse of energy. it's distraction enough to take his mind off being still lost. ]
What is this?
[ it takes only a moment for it to click. ] —Ah.
no subject
Without a map, there's little chance Serenade would make it to the center of the network before Forte did, and splitting from the destructive Navi would increase the odds of Forte obtaining the power without interference. So they resume walking, stopping at the edge of the path next to Forte.]
It would not be wise to pursue this, Forte.
[Because he would get more lost, because Serenade is still with him and will definitely interfere, because he should really stop being so power hungry -- though that last one is just Serenade's opinion.]
no subject
Perhaps this expedition wouldn't prove a total waste of my time after all.
[ The grin vanishes from his face at Serenade speaking up, his gaze whipping to where they stand next to him. A sudden cascade of this is what they were after from the start, Serenade trying to interfere with him again, always meddling when they weren't wanted, trying to protect those - those weakling humans, stop him from getting stronger, it was right there, and it wasn't like the exit was going anywhere, if he moved first, even with Serenade at full HP and him still damaged, he'd have
Wise? His fists clench. Forte's tone is cold. And angry. ]
Don't try to tell me what to do.
[ The same unrestricted yearning that has drove Forte to attack Serenade before and abuse the GetAbility and rip whatever abilities he can find out of the shells of defeated navis flares up. (He should stop giving it fuel. He doesn't stop.) ]
no subject
If Forte would not listen...]
Then would you prefer if I used force?
[There's no movement from them, but it's not hard to feel the thrum of energy that surrounds Serenade, ready to be unleashed.
Make your next choice wisely, Forte.]
no subject
Standing on the edge of the pathway, a drop into a background of static scrolling past below their feet, and sensing the familiar tidal wave of energy brewing slowly in Serenade, Forte's mouth splits with a smirk.
Bloodthirsty? Yes. ]
Frankly, I'd prefer to have you step out of the way, Serenade... but I wouldn't mind making you.
[ Both of Forte's fists engulf themselves readily and furiously in a burst of power, radiating a purple aura, pushing his own energy output up. If neither stands down in the next few seconds, there's going to be blows. ]
no subject
Serenade doesn't move at Forte's words, face maintaining that cold smile as they thought. As it stood, Forte would be able to make a run for it if he so chose to head towards the energy signature instead of staying to battle with the King. There was a clear path to the next warp pad, about a few hundred metres behind Forte.
Then, during the course of the battle, they would have to switch positions with Forte somehow. Hm.]
Make me? [Serenade chuckles.] You say that as if you even have the power to defeat me. It's a shame, isn't it? No matter what you do, you will never obtain that power.
[Now.... would Forte take the bait?]
