[center][i][h3]So Much Death, So Much Salt, So Little Time[/h3][/i][/center]

[hr]

It was a hell of a situation, and each new death had brought both hope and a greater sense of frustrations. So many tries, so many people, but never the right timing. Never the right protection. Never the right solution as of yet. It was like hitting one's head into a brick wall and trying over over to overcome the shitshow that was this situation. Then this brown haired son of a bitch began mouthing off at them, as if he was their babysitter and wanted to force them along. Then at the least the super (albeit more chill than this asshole) duo of Flame and Ashton had tried to figure out some kind of plan, which the dark-haired girl had begun to try to at least organize everyone. It was a better measure than some people seemed to be suggesting, and yet....her own hopes that things could start to go more smoothly were dashed upon the rocks. 

Chieko. 

Scared chuuni of a girl, who had refused to work with them in the first place. No, even if she hadn't gone with them she hadn't even taken the time to listen to anyone but that asshole who had first called out to herself, Hiro, and co as if they were naughty delinquents who needed a lecture. 

Did she want to help this girl, whom she had helped avoid death once already with alongside Hiro in their impromptu group effort? Yes. 

But was she mouthing off like that same asshole, with that cocky, shitty attitude that set Aerith's blood ablaze. Did these worthless....these retarded little dipshits think they had the superior plan? Did they they would all be safe at the damn papers place? Did they think ascertaining the danger of an enemy who could very well still hunt them down regardless of the place was a terrible idea? Were they so angry at herself and Hiro and company that they felt the need to do this sort of shit to try to for them into the "hive mind's choice of options" and such? 

These people. 

Ashton and Flame seemed intelligent. 

Hiro wasn't stupid. 

She also wasn't stupid. 

This brown haired asshole (Yuuki) might have been wanting safety above all else, but ignorance was also just as foolish. 

And Chieko was wanting to ass like a little bitch, fleeing when anyone wanted to just share information and talking down on people when she felt like it. The arrogance was incredible. 

And at least Alistair seemed to have a brain on his shoulders. 

[color=gold]"At least we were gathering some kind of information as we kicked the bucket a few times over, just in case anyone among us runs into those other goons again. And who is to say something else won't happen if everyone gathers into one specific place? Maybe something worse could happen if we are all lumped into one place, and maybe not. Hiro is right that just attempting to avoid these issues, and people outside of the law, won't likely make us all suddenly safe in the near future or beyond either. 

Now i don't blame you two coming over here and arguing for wanting to go what seems to be the safest route so far among what's happened so far. Hell, it makes sense. Keep everyone alive, avoid trouble, and we don't keep coming back here over and over again. Its a shitty situation, and frankly we all have a right to be pissed at one thing or another. 

But when you refuse to communicate, to share information, or anything of the sort, and then talk down on everyone like you are our caretakers and try to force us along, you kinda make people lose you and care less about your opinions. These acts are laughable, at best, in the long run, and if you want to communicate feel free to join us in actually talking about things in the future. We'll probably be willing to talk with you in turn then, so we can all properly listen for once.  

But overall, organizing this mass of people from another place, it doesn't seem to be totally feasible. It doesn't help we all seem to be at a random whim of a random person croaking and all of us being forced back again and again. As opinions clash, all of us go about whatever we do around here, and otherwise we will likely clash over and over and over about this stuff at times unless it has a limit to 'coming back' to this place....or any other 'places' later on to be honest."[/color] 

Aerith delivered her lines aloud for just all the other-worlders to hear, as calmly, properly, and clearly as could ever muster. Yet in her delivery her voice was leveled by a sense of experience and chillingly blunt analysis. Aeirth was making it as clear as she could her feeling and such on the matter, even as she sought to point out the group's big flaws in all of this. No immature tones, no sassy backlash, no whining, none of it carried over in her voice as she had spoken. To lash out, she knew that invited further ego stroking and fussing. And she was sick of those kinds of things. Sick to her stomach of them at home, and now this crap here. 

If things were this bad this time around, the future was bleak. But she didn't say no to going to get papers right now. Not at all. She would go this time around, for what little empathy she had left for Chieko in this matter. She didn't want to hate the girl, or Hiro, or Yuuki, or anyone else. But at the same time, if they all became enemies it would likely eventually trap them in a loop of repeats. Endless frustrations, ceaseless arguing, constant foolish behavior as Yuuki and Chieko were showing as plain as day right now. 

As much as she was pissed, it wasn't like Chieko and Yuuki had no points at all about going the safe route. To this end, Aerith without waiting shifted mental gears and approached Aer before speaking again. 

[color=gold]"I'll be happy to come with you all as well, shall we set off? I would feel terrible if we held you for too long...,"[/color] the girl said, seeming genuinely apologetic and polite in this instance, albeit a tad shy with a tint of embarrassment in the process. An eerie ability to change masks at the drop of a hat, though a thing that hadn't been performed in the visible line of sight of the in-worlders as Aerith had taken into account in things.  

It was the others' move now. She had made her choice this time, and called out what she saw as the overall situation. If they became belligerent, mouthed off, or the like right now...it was on their heads. They would be acting the part of the fool, prancing upon the stage and wasting everyone's time. As for Aerith, she couldn't care less right now for anything but moving on to get papers. To her, things would improve on her end mood-wise if they just did something right now and got on with it.
