❝ Aikawa, rules aren't there to hold you to the mark. They're there to. . . ❞
Echo sighed, folding her arms. She wasn't going to finish that.
❝ Do you want to be a Wizard, politically speaking? Is that it? ❞

@ReflectedMisery ㅤ
❝ You know, Aikawa I don't really see many rats that are all that eager to jump head first into the deep fryer.
Or deer that feel like being shot.
Or... some third analogy.
So, why do you want to be locked in a cage like the rest of us. ❞

@ReflectedMisery ㅤ
❝ —?
You actually want to follow the rules of a democratic government body?
Anyone ever tell you that you have a few screws loose, Aikawa. ❞

@ReflectedMisery ㅤ
❝ Why'd you care about the laws of magic? You're not a wizard. You get this neat little thing called "Rules for thee but not for me".
I think the High Council would rather die than step to you. ❞
ㅤ
@ReflectedMisery ㅤ
❝ Of course there's laws of magic. The High Council has rules, haven't I taught you anything?
. . .
Actually, don't answer that. ❞

@ReflectedMisery ㅤ
❝ And violate one of the laws of magic by killing another Wizard? I would never.
He turned himself into a demon to achieve immortality.
Then I killed him. ❞

@ReflectedMisery ㅤ
❝ Hey, it's not my fault that some crazy wannabe wizard with a death wish decided he wanted to gank me for my competitive pricing.
I handled it. ❞

@ReflectedMisery ㅤ
❝ Mostly.
We did almost lose the building to a gigantic scorpion a couple of months ago.
There was a fire which I will not be claiming responsibility of. ❞

@ReflectedMisery ㅤ
❝ You see, I agree. But if we're both still alive, it probably isn't worth worrying about.
Either I forgot or you were coaxed into going to Japan by a fairy. ❞

>> some half baked wish, keep jogging. You can't buy my trust, especially not with magic. Life only means anything because you work for it, I won't accept handouts. Especially not from you. ❞

❝ Guess I must've misjudged you earlier. Did the whole witch thing not work out for you? Need to pick up a side hustle as a Faerie Godmother? Or are you more of a genie-in-a-bottle type thing? ❞
Echo no longer trusted anything about the world they were in. After >>

>> all, how could she? The Neverside was the world of Chaos and Nightmares. The land of illusions. The plane of deceit. And now she was on Pleonexia's turf...? Well to put it lightly, she wasn't feeling suicidal today.

“ It's an interesting question but horrible yes... It's hard to say for me really but my beginnings weren't as rough.
It's what happened around me then eventually how i was treated that led to where i am now really.
So i wouldn't be missing much but it'll feel normal. ”
