"I have a feeling that Demiurge when he first met us all was more or less unprepared, now that he has time, he may be researching us, I can't say for sure however." Shalamanye noted out loud

"You have a tendency to get your shit kicked in by people stronger than you if you didn't notice." Rory said."I know," David said, shaking his head.
"ain't that why we are training? so we can get strong enough to NOT die? He's above us now, but he won't be forever"
David sighed."You have a tendency to get your shit kicked in by people stronger than you if you didn't notice." Rory said.
"Getting snappy with me doesn't change the fact that you're sort of an idiot who doesn't know his own limits, no offense to you." Rory said, shrugging dismissively.David sighed.
"I am PAINFULLY aware of that, Rory. thank you." David said, annoyance in his voice.
"Not saying you aren't working on yourself. But if I get to be insulted and threatened for my existence, I'm gonna be petty and berate you for you're mistakes as well." Rory said, clearly still very upset by the whole Apoptosis deal a few pages ago with Lance."Rory, please shut up," David said bluntly.
"I know. I know I've been a ******* dumbass who flings himself into unwinnable situations every day, alright? My clone already beat that into me during the last ring."
"I'm trying to....to work on that, alright?"
"Thanks, Dreadon. It took me a while...but, im working on becoming a better person. I plan on showing you guys just how much I can change""I don't exactly have the highest opinion of David myself, but that's enough Rory, I believe he's finally making steps in the right direction." Draedon said
David sighed."Not saying you aren't working on yourself. But if I get to be insulted and threatened for my existence, I'm gonna be petty and berate you for you're mistakes as well." Rory said, clearly still very upset by the whole Apoptosis deal a few pages ago with Lance.
"Ironic, as your the most durable of the bunch..." Rory said, sighing before walking off. "Girl has got issues it seems." Lily said, shrugging. "Whatever. Let's head inside before you tear each other to shreds.""Thanks, Dreadon. It took me a while...but, im working on becoming a better person. I plan on showing you guys just how much I can change"
David sighed.
"....whatever. Rory" David said.
"What happened was ****** up. Lance is a ******* dumbass, alright?" David said, glancing at Lance, who said nothing in response.
"You didn't deserve what happened. But that doesn't mean you gotta take it out on me. ok? I'm not your punching bag."
"Depends on the topic." Metatron said.David walked into the training area. he began stretching, warming up his muscles to prepare himself for the training.
Meanwhile.
Lance silently left the castle. sitting on the steps as he looked down at his gloves.
"M-metatron...." Lance said.
"....can we....talk?"
"Depends on the topic." Metatron said.
"Everybody here is broken somewhat, mortal. That's how they don't go insane." Metatron said, "If this is about your time as a mercenary I'd like to have you know I can tell you a few people in this group who've done much worse.""....it's about my past."
"...I-i'm broken. Metatron. I....I just need someone to talk to right now..." Lance said.
"It's...it's not just about that, Metatron.""Everybody here is broken somewhat, mortal. That's how they don't go insane." Metatron said, "If this is about your time as a mercenary I'd like to have you know I can tell you a few people in this group who've done much worse."
"And?" Metatron asked, "Lance, I'm not the person to come to for things like this. By mortal standards, I myself would be a bad person. But that was in the past, and this is the now. Letting yourself get torn up by it is an inconvenience.""It's...it's not just about that, Metatron."
"...I think...I liked it. I liked killing people. Innocent people. My clone....made me realize that" Lance said. he said these words slowly as if they were hard to speak.
"I tried...so hard, to convince myself that I had changed. that Kiara had helped me become a better person."
"...but I'm just the same. cowardly, evil, murderer I was since I got here" Lance said finally, laying his head against the wall.
"The idiot wrestler is starting to change. I suspect that swordswoman desires to change herself as well. Who says that you cannot do so as well?" Metatron said."that...was in the past..." Lance repeated, glancing towards the sky.
"Metatron. do you believe I can change? That I can lose my...murderous urges, and become a better person, in the future?" Lance said.
"Fine. Just trained a bit too much." Rory said as she went to pick up her sword once more, "I'm gonna get back to it." She said as she gritted her teeth from the pain, while also slightly aroused.
"...Don't know what your talking about." Rory said, dodging the question. "No- No I do know... ****, I know." Rory said, sighing. "What is it?"David sighed. changing the course of his walk, he walked into the forest, exploring the area until he found her. he leaned his back against a nearby tree, and watched her as she trained.
"Can we talk about what happened earlier?" David said, his arms folded as he watched her swing her sword.
"yes. you do. everyone does." David said he tried to keep an even tone, but it was difficult. A mixture of frustration and sadness welled up inside him."...I always insult you. Everybody does." Rory said, "Is it now surprising...?" She had no idea what to say so she just said that.
"I mean, wrestlers are pretty stupid, which is an idea I've held since the day I met you... So technically yes, you are a joke." Rory said, actually completely serious."yes. you do. everyone does." David said he tried to keep an even tone, but it was difficult. A mixture of frustration and sadness welled up inside him.
"..... I am a joke to you...Rory? Even when I try and change, you guys always try to belittle and insult me."
