Hello! I hope you're all doing well! The Timeline has finally computed your mission objective — sorry it took so long! Sometimes he gets a little slow. Now, I know he may seem— different, but he's always been correct! Just... ah, be careful when talking to him? He's a learning machine, and all he really knows is about missions, so sometimes he says some strange things when he goes off topic. But don't worry! He tries his best. I'll connect you to him now.

TIMELINE.EXE IS PROGRAMMED TO RELEASE MISSION PARAMETERS. MISSION OBSERVATION IS COMPLETE AND RESULTS FOR MISSION: Nalawi ARE AS FOLLOWS:

Hello World ( ゚▽゚)/ Take the hassle and confusion out of the
Mission,
Try this One Weird Trick!

To help NALAWI, you will need to DEFEAT the GODDESS NALANNI so the energy can return to the world.* In doing so, the people of NALAWI will LOSE THEIR POWERS but the world will continue on. If this objective is not reached, NALAWI will BURN OUT PREMATURELY.

*NOTE FROM TIMELINE.EXE: Giant squid of the Sea, too
2 or 0 Not 1! Thank you

D-Did you really pull out a hokey, two-cent romance novel line like that? "I make dreams into reality". Hah!

—More like you make life into a living nightmare if you set your sights on some woman you just want to have to have her, and you're a boorish enough brute to be overbearing about it!

[ah, but she can. you will never win, gilgamesh. never.]

[False, actually, because...]

I am also a boorish enough brute to win.

[...he believes absolutely in his dreams, as well as in his victory.]

[gulp]

I'm not a prize to be won...

[personal profile] babbylon 2016-05-26 02:47 am (UTC)(link)
A prize to be earned, then?

You just said "win", not "earn".

[you colossal idiot.]

A victory achieved through proof of worthiness.

[You enormous baka.]

Whatever you call it, you still have to prove your worth.

[personal profile] babbylon 2016-05-26 02:56 am (UTC)(link)
If you insist.

[Though his flippant tone of voice makes it clear he feels he shouldn't have to, as said worth is already all but apparent.]

[yeah, well—it sort of is.

mostly she wonders why he's so enraptured with her that he keeps focusing on things like "winning" her affection and having her, even experiencing her praise. she's just a young woman. his comments make her blush, and maybe, maybe, maybe none of it is such a big deal? rin is a magus.]


... Come back to me and be safe. Remember your promise to me.

[he's committed atrocious wrongs, but if he's hers, and their relationship is different from his and her father's...]

You would never hurt me or betray me, would you? So don't do it. And perhaps you'll have a reward waiting for you.

[personal profile] babbylon 2016-05-26 03:16 am (UTC)(link)
I would hurt you. I would betray you.

[May as well not beat around the bush about it. However...]

But I would also return to you, and hold you, and tell you that all was well.

[she knows. but her point is that he treasures her life. she's coming to value his. just accept it and understand what she's really trying to say, gilgamesh.]

Fine.

[personal profile] babbylon 2016-05-26 04:49 am (UTC)(link)
[For her, a smile. Just a small one. But it indeed gives away his feelings as earnestly affectionate, despite all that has been said and done.]

Look forward to my visit. And I shall look forward to my reward.

You realize I'm not such a weak woman that I need a Heroic Spirit to hold me up.

[if he reads through the lines, he'll notice that this is her expression of happiness with that smile.]

[personal profile] babbylon 2016-05-26 04:59 am (UTC)(link)
You realize I would never fall for such a weak woman to begin with?

[If she reads through the lines... oh, dear.]
defenceless: (hopeless blushing)

[personal profile] defenceless 2016-05-28 08:03 pm (UTC)(link)
[oh, dear, indeed. it means he's fallen for her, doesn't it?]

S-Suit yourself! Someone like you probably falls for any woman, if he's desperate enough...

[but yeah, her voice is definitely trailing off there, at the end of her complaint.]
