Texts: i dont need you to validate my morality
Date of Scene: 10 September 2023
Location: Texts
Synopsis: Kyouka texts Darien about Nephrite being an alright dude
Cast of Characters: Kyouka Inai, Mamoru Chiba
Tinyplot: Dangerous Orbits


(PHONE) Kyouka Inai texts: your boy Nephrite is kind of a stick in the mud but his magic is useful


(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: im kind of a stick in the mud too sometimes. but yeah his magic is awesome


(PHONE) Kyouka Inai texts: a different sort of stick in the mud. but he seemed to genuinely care about helping find naru. we found some of her shit at a cabin but they had already moved her


(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: well fuck. im gonna get py-tan on the case, ok? dw she wont kill anyone unless i say its ok


(PHONE) Kyouka Inai texts: if you say so. frankly as long as she doesnt kill naru (or anyone uninvolved) then whatever. if sunbreaker happens to bite it 'by accident' maybe it'll teach other people a lesson about kidnapping
(PHONE) Kyouka Inai texts: thats an unofficial opinion, btw, the school requires me to tell you that murder is wrong


(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: murder is wrong :P


(PHONE) Kyouka Inai texts: yeah yeah. dont lecture me shields, im not advocating for capital punishment here. just saying that IMO the risk is worth the possible benefit in this case


(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: then i'll let the single quotes go, inai-sensei <3 <3
(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: SIGH. ok ok
(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: there are some cases mostly involving defense, ok


(PHONE) Kyouka Inai texts: look i dont need you to validate my morality. i just get angry when people are shitty to my friends.
(PHONE) Kyouka Inai texts: as long as we recover naru and she's not too damaged i won't put out a hit on sunbreaker
(PHONE) Kyouka Inai texts: but there are limits, my dude


(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: understandably. i mean so do i. i am not in the moment, i am not in the process of losing my temper, so im gonna be cranky about the idea. but yes there are limits.
(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: btw i cannot go with them when they go
(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: i really really want to
(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: but i cant. not least bc if i do lose my temper (which seems likely) there *will* be collateral damage
(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: there is a reason i dont fight directly


(PHONE) Kyouka Inai texts: im not useful in a fight. i plan to supervise from afar. im good at being a go-between and a point of contact, and i can make calls other people might hesitate to make. and i dont mean murder i just mean ive got experience which might be handy
(PHONE) Kyouka Inai texts: so i plan to be on comms and nearby for support


(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: can i hang out with you :(


(PHONE) Kyouka Inai texts: if you promise to be on your best behavior


(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: best behavior still includes being a wiseass is that ok


(PHONE) Kyouka Inai texts: i just called your buddy a stick in the mud because he was too formal on a mission, what do you think


(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: cool cool cool


(PHONE) Kyouka Inai texts: i dont think he trusted that i wasnt going to try and shank him because of the other thing


(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: i think the formality is adorable btw so
(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: well i dont exactly blame him, i mean


(PHONE) Kyouka Inai texts: im not naive enough to think that taking him out of the picture would somehow stop the entire project, and finding naru was more important and he was helping
(PHONE) Kyouka Inai texts: im not an unreasonable person


(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: he is also currently the most reasonable so i think it would be at cross purposes anyway


(PHONE) Kyouka Inai texts: the fact that he was there and helping and his concern seemed genuine speaks for itself


(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: yes good


(PHONE) Kyouka Inai texts: i dont believe in punishing people who are genuinely trying to do good. penance is different from punishment and imo a lot more desirable


(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: punishment is stupid usually. it breeds resentment if theres no remorse


(PHONE) Kyouka Inai texts: sometimes it is necessary. there are people who do not feel regret
(PHONE) Kyouka Inai texts: but ive had friends go bad, and then regret it
(PHONE) Kyouka Inai texts: and they are still my friends


(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: i mean thus the usually
(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: and sometimes you make friends with ppl who are already badguys


(PHONE) Kyouka Inai texts: only if they're trying not to be. ostensibly i'm on the side of 'good' here. i know its kinda hard to believe sometimes lololol


(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: lbr you liked me anyway :D
(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: otherwise i wouldnt have made you so mad


(PHONE) Kyouka Inai texts: you remind me of somebody i used to know. not important though- you're you. and you have the potential to be a good guy. you are a good guy.
(PHONE) Kyouka Inai texts: but still an ass
(PHONE) Kyouka Inai texts: the two are not mutually exclusive


(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: just so. you are also an ass


(PHONE) Kyouka Inai texts: you cant get to be my age in this game and not be at least a little bit of an ass


(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: i got to beat up a giant invisible thing the puellas called a witch the other day. with moon
(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: major catharsis


(PHONE) Kyouka Inai texts: you did a service to the world, then. witches are nasty.


(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: it screamed really bad like a little girl at the end :/


(PHONE) Kyouka Inai texts: it would have killed people if you let it go. sometimes the greatest kindness is to end suffering. its not always easy to know when that is. but with witches there's really no other option


(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: oh no doubt, it was about to stomp on an elementary school. no regrets. just uncanny af


(PHONE) Kyouka Inai texts: yeah i get it. you see and hear some wild shit if you do this long enough.
(PHONE) Kyouka Inai texts: or right away if youre unlucky enough
(PHONE) Kyouka Inai texts: anyway. i just wanted to say your dude was alright in my book, so long as he doesnt go through with the whole city-wide murder plot
(PHONE) Kyouka Inai texts: and i'll look forward to your help when we go in for Naru


(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: im glad. thank you


(PHONE) Kyouka Inai texts: ya. text me if you need anything in the meantime. try to keep usagi's spirits up


(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: well im at least being miserable with her so she has company
(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: but ok. yes. ty again


(PHONE) Kyouka Inai texts: that actually does help
