derailer | Reverie - Ingo Palace

He doesn't quite deny it. He cryptically says, "I feel sorry for you. Imagine inflicting on someone the same tragedy you experienced, in your desperation to rid yourself of the consequences. Dragging people down with you into the abyss. I knew toying with fate was a mistake... But here we are. Once again, we must live with it."

Litten mrrts, displeased.

[Vicious holds Litten back close to his chest again.]

Yeah, seems like I'm standin' right here to me. If you're plannin' on draggin' me into any abysses, ya better get started with that.

[It's very hard to be cryptic at Vicious.]

"The deed is done. What do you suppose you'll do now? Do you plan to stay here in the Pearl Settlement? They're kind, but you're going to have to pull your weight if you do stay."

Plan...?

[Has Vicious ever had a plan in his life.]

...Dunno. Just stickin' 'round like that don't really feel right...

"Are you going to become a bandit in the wilderness like Miss Coin did? A waste of potential."

Oh yeah? What exactly do ya think I've got the potential for?

"Someone with with a decent reputation. A reliable comrade. A trusted member of a community. You're going to throw away a chance for a peaceful life right out of the gate?"

I ain't throwin' away anythin'... I just woke up and I ain't even gone outside. I ain't made any kinda decisions yet.

Don't really see the appeal of that stuff, though. Sounds like I'd just be doin' what other people want me to do.

"I won't stop you from going out wherever you want. Let me just say this. The people here won't judge you or hold expectations for you beyond being a member of the group. If you leave here, you're going to find yourself wrapped up in something more confusing, or else you'll be a victim of the wilderness. Do as you like."

Hmm. Well, the second thing sounds a hell of lot more interestin'.

"Go be mauled by a wild animal then. Before Lady Irida returns to stop you."

He gestures to the exit of the shelter they're in.

What, you don't wanna come?

"You have Litten for companionship. And you won't listen to my advice. You have no use for me. I'm certainly not going to help you in the foolhardy quest you came here for."

Hn, I dunno about that. Litten's pretty cute, but you seem better to talk to. And it ain't like I remember what I came here to do.

What are you doin', then? Who were you talkin' about earlier?

"You have the same wretched taste Mister Saturn does."

Litten curls up tighter against you as you say he is cute.

"There's a group of people who went out for supplies earlier who have gone missing."
