with fingers crossed they'll talk to me

[This... this is a drunk dial. It's obvious from Dist's tone, the way he's slurring... hell, even the subject matter. He's been brooding a lot lately, mostly due to being brainwashed. Twice. To have your mind forcibly taken... it's not an easy thing to recover from.]

We're all... here, we're all surrounded by people. Prisoners, like ourselves. But who among us... who doesn't feel lonely? Disconnected from all those around you... I fear that's their goal. Isolation, even in the face of a crowd.

[Dist takes a deep breath, possibly taking another swig from his drink.]

We're overdue for a town attack. Divide and conquer. Without unity... I don't know what we'll do in the face of whatever they throw at us.

Like I said, an idiot or a child. It doesn't sound like he cared about you very much.

It's hard to explain but.... as I got to know him better I sort of started to understand how he expresses things. He's rather tsundere.

[buildstherobots]

I don't know that word. Regardless, such a crime against yourself shouldn't be rewarded with friendship.

[abravelikehero]

He's really not so bad, and he's even trying to help me get my hero title back so... I think he just has to put on an act to make himself feel better.

You might understand if you met him, he's here in Mayfield too.

Is enslaving people how he makes friends? Because if it is, I'm not interested.

[abravelikehero]

I don't think proclaiming someone your slave and nothing more really counts as enslaving.... But I think that's what he calls friends. Slaves, rivals... things he can use as excuses for why they're around.
