You know how these things are. They don't know how to listen. [Is that how things are, Jack?] But if it does, I'll be sure to give it a piece of my mind.

[bakaomi]

You're free to use my name as well. I'm sure it'll be scared.

[ it's said with a small smile ]

[alittlefuninstead]

Hey, teenagers are some of the scariest things out there. [MCR says so.] They'd be real threatened.

[bakaomi]

Oh, I believe that. I've met Regina.

[ she's terrifying ]

[alittlefuninstead]

Now see that? That is what we call a worse-case scenario. It's why I used to like kids a lot better. [Taka's still just young enough to be considered a kid in Jack's book.] Why anyone offered to make her a god...I still don't get it.

[bakaomi]

I think I can see it? She's assertive and knows how to get what she wants.

[ which is like, actual qualities you'd want in a leader?

she's just also regina ]

[alittlefuninstead]

By manipulating other people. Kind of the big problem with that. [But true.]

[bakaomi]

Everyone has pros and cons.

[ her cons list was just

you know, longer ]

[alittlefuninstead]

Now what kind of pros besides "leadership" did she have? [He's just curious, he doesn't even doubt it.]

[bakaomi]

She made Senri jealous.

[ taka is mean to his boyfriend ]

[alittlefuninstead]

Didn't a lot of people make Senri jealous? [If you're looking for someone to say "Taka be nice to your bunny" this is the wrong person.]

[bakaomi]

[ he thinks...... ]

Sasuke and Rise?

[ he still has no idea sheba made senri jealous. it's fine. ]

[alittlefuninstead]

[...a chuckle.] Yeah, those two. [Ah well, let's not talk about how he can see everything.] It just means that's not the best pro to have.

[bakaomi]

I didn't mind talking to her. I know she was a bitch, but she had her good points.

I just wouldn't have ever voted for her to be in charge.

[alittlefuninstead]

Seems like that's something you and Ludger had in common. [Which is a weird thought to have.] I'm not even sure her followers would've voted for her to be in charge, but that's not really anything against her.

[bakaomi]

... nah.

Not everyone had loyal followers.

[ GUESS WHO STILL FEELS BAD ABOUT HIS DECISION TO SWITCH AND WILL FEEL WORSE ABOUT IT TOMORROW ]

[alittlefuninstead]

Then I guess I was really lucky after all. [Well it's not Jack because even with that, Taka's a good kid and still his follower in his heart. Here's a hair-ruffle.] I never expected it. You know that.

[bakaomi]

You deserved it...

[ it's

mumbled ]

[alittlefuninstead]

[He isn't going to argue that because he knows they'll go in circles about it. Instead, he just smiles.]

...yeah. Maybe we both did. [So there.]

[bakaomi]

Don't turn this on me.

[alittlefuninstead]

I'm not turning it on anybody! [But there's a low laugh that says he is.] It's just as true as what you said.

[bakaomi]

[ ... ]

It just would have been better if more people gave you a chance.

[alittlefuninstead]

Why do you think that? [He's not even arguing now, he's just curious.]

[bakaomi]

... I just think you would have been a good leader, after everything.

[alittlefuninstead]

...maybe. [He can at least maybe sort of see why Taka would think that even if he doesn't entirely agree.] There's still a lot I think I needed to learn, I think. If I'm being honest.

When this first started, I'm not sure I ever would have wanted to be a leader and to tell you the truth I'm not sure I want to be one now. But I kind of like the idea of being an advisor or something.

[Just say guardian, you stupid fuck.]
