I know what my faults are, and they are mine to deal with in the end, aren't they?

[ Rubbing his back a little, trying to make this...a productive conversation at the very least. ]

I wanted it to work out so bad, Eclipse. I still feel like I made the wrong decision... even if I just tried to help.

[inspiteful]

[ It's been more productive than most conversations he's had with HSS lately, at least. ]

...I wanted it to work out for us too. And if you made the wrong decision, then I already made the wrong decision when there were things I could have tried to argue harder for during that game. Like stealing in an earlier round so we had a bigger cushion to fall back on, or insisting we not send anything during the second round. ...It's already happened, so thinking about the what-ifs won't do us any good.

[mapsio]

No, perhaps not. But do you know how much it hurt to disappoint you?

[inspiteful]

...

[ He doesn't say anything, but he doesn't move away either. ]

[mapsio]

I thought to myself... "what will I do if Eclipse resents me for the choices I have made"? It was a sad answer every time.

[inspiteful]

...Thank you, for talking to me. I'm...not a very kind person at heart, I think. I was starting to feel like my opinions didn't really make much of a difference at the end of the day.

[mapsio]

I don't think it is necessarily that you aren't a kind person. I think... our situations are different and that is what drives us to be who we are. And drives us to make such vastly different decisions.

[inspiteful]

Kind of hard not to feel like the odd one out when I'm that different from everyone else.

...But that's why we're here, right?

[mapsio]

I want to understand better.

[inspiteful]

What do you want to know about me?

[mapsio]

You have told me a bit about your world...but, tell me about you?

[inspiteful]

Ah, uhm...

[ ...Well, he supposes he should start with the basics, since he thinks a lot of HSS doesn't know even that much. ]

My actual name is Gracious Skylark -- it's come up in some of my memories, but no one's commented on it and switching to it right now would be a pain in the ass, so for now I'm still just Eclipse. My mother's a courtesan, and I grew up with a bunch of sisters who are the other courtesans. I...uhm, lived in a brothel and I worked as an errand boy and attendant there. Though then I ended up apprenticing under a doctor so I work for him now. I like pork and walks along the beach?

...Is that a good enough start?

[mapsio]

That’s a pretty good start...I’ll return it.

My real name is Haru Okumura. I don’t really use it a lot here...mostly with Fox and Joker. But I don’t mind those close to me here calling me “Haru”. Mmm, my Father is the CEO of a large food corporation... I don’t have any memory of my mother. I’m a Phantom Thief along side my friends...

[inspiteful]

CEO?

[ I'm sorry he's from some wuxia medievalesque world,,, ]

-- Ah, wait, you're a thief?

[mapsio]

Like the head or president of a company. He is the top person who makes all the decisions.

[.....nodding though.]

A phantom thief. We steal the wicked desires of criminals and make them repent.

[inspiteful]

'Wicked desires'...?

[mapsio]

Think...."seven deadly sins".

[inspiteful]

...I don't know what those are, so I'm going to have to ask if you mean it literally or metaphorically?

[mapsio]

...well, my Father's sin was "greed". So. I guess literally and metaphorically?

[inspiteful]

Ah, okay. I think...I kind of get it? You guys sound a little bit like Thief Princes.

[mapsio]

Thief princes?

[inspiteful]

They're...basically the big shot professional thieves, where I'm from. Some of them I guess would count as "war heroes"?
