Theirgonnagetmeohnogottakeeprunningdonttripdontripdontrip!!!

[maple @Maple_irl]

There is nothing you can do besides not talking to me. Leave me alone.

[maple @Maple_irl]

Whateve4

[Clove the Pronghorn @CloPro263]

...Good night, Maple. Get some sleep.

[maple @Maple_irl]

JEALOUS??? JEALOUS??? Oh you actually are dumb. I have everything I want!!! Everything i need! Im learning to be powerful this is amazing!

[Clove the Pronghorn @CloPro263]

...I think I know why you're upset.

It's because you're jealous.

I think you dislike living in the Empire more than you're willing to admit... and, truthfully, I don't think there's anything wrong with that...

Whatever happens, I hope you find the peace that you deserve.

[maple @Maple_irl]

He kept her alive. You spit in his face and everything hes done. We've hsd this conversation. You like running in circles?

[Clove the Pronghorn @CloPro263]

What makes you say that?

Is it that I'm ungrateful for the Empire keeping Cassia alive, when she was only ever treated as the ball to my chain?

Or is it because I dared to attack doctor Eggman, the one who laughed in my mortified face when he told me that he couldn't cure her?

[maple @Maple_irl]

Whatever. You're a traitor and thats a fact

[Clove the Pronghorn @CloPro263]

...I can sense you clenching your teeth through the phone, Maple.

[maple @Maple_irl]

Well. You can view yourself how you want ig

[Clove the Pronghorn @CloPro263]

...I refuse to consider myself a traitor. I held never held faith in the Empire's principles...

The Empire was always just a means to an end, and I was only ever a prisoner with a fancy rank and uniform...

[maple @Maple_irl]

No clue. I dunno. In a way i feel I shouldn't even talk to you. You're a traitor. But I. I dunno

[Clove the Pronghorn @CloPro263]

I mean... where do we go from here?

I hate the Empire, you hate me.. but I feel for your pain and misery anyway...

What's the point in pretending to ignore that?

[maple @Maple_irl]

What do you mean? Its nkt exactly. Gonna stop how I act.

[Clove the Pronghorn @CloPro263]

so... what now then?

[maple @Maple_irl]

Oh screw off

[Erin @OneWayBookworm]

A surprise to absolutely no one

[maple @Maple_irl]

Yyep.

[Clove the Pronghorn @CloPro263]

...yes

cool...

[maple @Maple_irl]

Cool.

[Clove the Pronghorn @CloPro263]

...that makes 2 of us...

[maple @Maple_irl]

I dont think im a good person ngl. Earlier kinda.. cemented that

[maple @Maple_irl]

Mom always said its a good thing if I dont talk back when talking to myself

Wonder what she'd say now

[maple @Maple_irl]

Im glad to be another one then. I'll learn from her and be sure to avoid whats happened to her. I suppose thats a luxury I have here.

[Clove the Pronghorn @CloPro263]

You're another Niti.

A victim who will wield the sharpest blade of them all.

Take care that you don't accidentally cut yourself on it like she has.

[maple @Maple_irl]

I wouldn't say horrible. Effective. Clove do you view me as a younger you? Another person being taken advantage of

[Clove the Pronghorn @CloPro263]

...No. I've heard enough.

The Empire is such a horribly perfect machine, you know?

It takes victims and weaponizes them.

Those who resist are turned into fodder to sharpen the blades of the one's who will gather the next generation of victims.

[maple @Maple_irl]

I killed someone. Some bird. It was apart of me doing warden cherrys task to learn what she does cause I wasnt respectful. What wanna know how as well?

[Clove the Pronghorn @CloPro263]

You... what?

[maple @Maple_irl]

No they wont. I wont let em duh.

And i dunno. Prolly already has. I mean.. the old me wouldnt attack people. Or kill someone. I would. But I don't care bout the old me, only the new

[Clove the Pronghorn @CloPro263]

Those things that suck are going to keep eating at you. On and on, until there's nothing left.

How many versions of yourself will the Empire chew through until you become someone the old you would have hated?

[maple @Maple_irl]

I literally got powers, im able to do basically what I want, learn what I want... sure.. some things.. suck. But overall better

[Clove the Pronghorn @CloPro263]

You aren't better in the Empire.

...I would hope you'd understand that before it's too late, but.. I'm afraid it already is.

[maple @Maple_irl]

@CloPro263 A bit late for apologies. I dont want it. I'm better where I am.. in a weird way
