I know it isn’t, but I think the alternative is a nervous breakdown that I really can’t afford right now.
[ this is so funny that the line that basically everyone seems to agree is that simon is allowed to violently murder him one time for even stevens and then it crosses the line into Uncool.
He still blanches a little at the thought of being murdered even once, but yeah. he has to accept that seems fair. ]
But okay. [ ... ] It’s funny how we’ve all got something of a rapport here, no matter how we ended up in this place. This place being dead.
You can break down, as long as you pull yourself back together.
[ have a catharsis, reset, reboot.
lambda is guessing with how buzen and matsui are.... with how they reacted to d murdering rin that that's the route they'd take with it, and her opinion of gerard is higher than simon. ]
Being dead is bonding. [ that's said dryly. ] Enough of us are either like-minded enough or clearheaded enough to see a common goal. I won't lie that there are some here that I could leave behind more than others.
she did challenge him, so she might as well give him the chance. her hands are always covered by too long sleeves, but she places one of them in his. ]
[ SHE DID. anyway I guess I could roll for this but you know what it’s a dance not trying to kill a giant bad vibes whale I will not invoke Gerard’s Terrible Curse and potentially ruin this nice moment. He managed to do a perfect waltz with a little kitty cat once, I think he can do this one.
[ gerard waltzing with a little kitty cat is the cutest image. dance is the cheating way to get into lambda's good graces, so doing a perfect waltz lets gerard cheat his way up her rankings.
if he cares enough to look, gerard can see lambda's eyes light up the moment she can tell this is the one thing his bad luck can't touch. she's her most lively while dancing. ]
[ that’s pretty cute lambda. also he desperately needs this cheat code okay he has no other talents. this is his one thing. being a nice fairytale prince only provides you with a certain skillset and then you ruin a lot of those good points by going on a murder spree.

[ he’s glad that he’s higher on the opinion chart than simon, even if that is a pretty low bar. ]
I won’t argue otherwise, but I do think we’re in an all or nothing scenario at this point. [ theres a really long pause. ]
Oh.
Dancing.
no subject
[ it doesn't sound like she believes that, though.
of all the dead coming tomorrow, simon isn't at the bottom of her rankings, so it's not the lowest bar, at least. ]
What? What about dancing?
[ that's out of left field? ]

You couldn't let it go, could you?
[ she sighs. ]
I'll accept this once I witness it.
[ and not because she loves dance or anything like that. ]

[ can’t really dance alone so he holds a hand out? ]

See?

You weren't all talk. I'll readjust my opinion of you to better than pathetic.
