Since you all seem to be so eager to talk to me, and I have some free time, I'll open the floor for questions.

...w)(y t)(e violent ones? I get it, trolls are a violent race, but...

[animusnpcs]

We save one from every world we sense is about to be destroyed. The specifics of who we take are random; if one race happens to be violent, then the chances of pulling violent people in grows.

[ofdewandglass]

I s)(ouldn't ask, but I am: w)(y me?

[animusnpcs]

You just got lucky, that's all.

[ofdewandglass]

It s)(ouldn't )(ave been me. It s)(ould )(ave been t)(e ot)(er me, -Eridan's Feferi. )(e needed )(er and all you could do was make it worse. )(ow dare you just rub salt into t)(e )(urt )(e already felt from not )(aving )(er?

YOU DON'T KNOW W)(AT YOU'R---E DOING, IF YOU CAN'T S--E---E T)(AT!

[animusnpcs]

Even if we brought her, it would be a version of her from a slightly different world. That we haven't simply means those worlds haven't been destroyed yet. Are you asking me to deprive some other Eridan to make the one here happy?

[ofdewandglass]

T)(at's not fair! If you broug)(t )(im, you could )(ave broug)(t )(er, too! It's just cruel, doing )(orrorterrors-know-w)(at to )(er and leaving )(er to die on )(im.

And you know w)(at? It's not fair for M---E to be t)(e one to need to pick up t)(e pieces w)(en I didn't even )(ave my bearings )(ere. I did it, I don't regret doing it in t)(e slig)(test, but I - it s)(ould )(ave been )(er t)(at came in, instead.

I'm not asking you to deprive ANYBODY. It just isn't fair!

[animusnpcs]

We don't have time to pull anyone else out of the world. One is the best we can do at present.

[ofdewandglass]

It's still not fair. I don't care about anyt)(ing else. I don't care. It's not fair and t)(is place isn't fair. S)(e s)(ouldn't )(ave been like t)(at and you know it. T)(ere could )(ave been somet)(ing done.

[She's stomping her feet and pounding her fists against the desk, but that's not going to change anything, is it.]

[animusnpcs]

You speak like someone used to having everything handed to her. Things aren't always fair.

[ofdewandglass]

I know t)(ings aren't always fair, but t)(at's no excuse for being needlessly cruel.

[She's going to end things here before she upsets herself even more.]
