(I didn’t lie about either)
“i still can’t grasp this… simulation thing… it feels surreal to me, i should get it… after all, i…”
alyx sighs “well, nonetheless… you don’t seem to understand. i don’t care that you lied to me. in the end, it turns out you’re the one who got the short end of that stick, wouldn’t you say?” alyx winks
“and really, you… still think there’s innocence here?” alyx looks around the room, and twitches “none of us are innocent. not even the rich kid. not even the cyclops over there.” alyx laughs “even if they might be deluded into believing that they are.”
(i mean tbh im p sure the outcome would be the same most likely? but still kinda sucks your plan didn’t go as, well, planned)
(maybe
if the ink wasn’t very blatantly what killed them i might not have remembered that you had it
but if it became a topic of discussion i might? idk, i guess it depends on what would have happened after you blinded him)
(my memory is bad enough that it took a day and a half despite it being the main topic of discussion for a lot of that
lol)
(i thought it had to do with his ultimate at first and almost asked for a tattoo, that would have been awkward)
“Short end of the stick out there and in here.” Steph laughs alittle
“I think in comparison to the people i know most of you are after all you do know what a highwaywoman is right?”
“You know, I’m well aware that I’m not innocent. I have my own demons. I’ve made mistakes and I’m not proud of them. We’ve all got our problems… but the Mastermind seemingly has the most.”
“If you think so don’t think you messed with my crew after all they saved me from hell this was almost plesent at time.”
“as long as your crew weren’t the ones outside the vil–”
alyx giggles “okay, fine, my assistant seems to have cracked the case…”
“I don’t think this deserves the title of “case”, after what we’ve been dealing with here.”
“Hey if they had let me the body wouldn’t have been identifiable from what it was an a mangeled mess.”
