It's been on my mind for a while. I mean, I owe you a lot, so I just thought... It wasn't fair of me.

[tootsiepop]

[...]

Zoe, I...

[He trails off, unsure of what to do with this. It takes him a moment before he settles on something to say.]

If we're apologizing for using our abilities on each other, to... unintended effects, then I owe you an apology as well.

[requiemed]

[After a moment, she blinks.]

Wait, what?

[tootsiepop]

I didn't think... watching you publicly declare yourself a terrible person would be so uncomfortable. I'm sorry.

[He may or may not have made A Mistake.]

[requiemed]

Oh.

[Oh!!]

...It wasn't your fault. [But, hm.] Have any of the other rules been yours?

[tootsiepop]

... Yes. As far as I'm aware, I was the sole user of Supreme Authority until last week.

[requiemed]

Can I ask which...?

[kyuu help me the rules post gets edited every week and memory is hard]

[tootsiepop]

All of them, with the sole exception of last week's rule about power usage.

[eli please]

If you're curious about my reasoning behind any particular rule, I'd be happy to explain.

[requiemed]

[Immediately:]

Why do you hate music?

[tootsiepop]

Rachel Berry's midtrial theatrics were not appreciated.

[requiemed]

You didn't have to punish everyone else for it.

[She doesn't actually sound upset, at least.]

[tootsiepop]

Perhaps not, but it would have discouraged anyone else from following in her footsteps.

[pours one out for w2 connor and his lack of empathy.]

[requiemed]

The only thing I brought with me was my guitar, Connor. Do you know how much torture you put me through?

[Now it's clear she's joking, at least.]

[tootsiepop]

No. But you may write a formal complaint if you're inclined to do so.

[requiemed]

I want to talk to your manager.

[tootsiepop]

I would prefer you didn't.

[50% JOKING... 50% serious about this. Do not.]

He didn't take well to the last time someone tried to "speak to my manager" over a rule I created.

[requiemed]

[Oh.]

Can I ask what happened?

[tootsiepop]

Small children tend to become... upset... when adults blame them for actions that are not their own.

[someone please save his god, the toddler.]

[requiemed]

Tell me who it was so I can beat them up.

[She's kidding, probably.]

[tootsiepop]

As generous as your offer is, the majority of them are already dead.

[GOOD RIDDANCE. He's kidding. Maybe.]

[requiemed]

Oh.

[Yikes!]

Well, that's happy.

[tootsiepop]

They'll return at the end of the competition.

[It's fine.]

[requiemed]

...That doesn't make it okay, Connor.

[tootsiepop]

It's something to keep in mind.

[this is a bad conversation to have before dieday, huh.]

[requiemed]

It’s more than a lot of people get.

[She knows that all too well. Still...]

I just don’t want anyone to use that as a justification for hurting people. They’ll still remember after all this, you know? How scared they were right before.
