[Cheri > Kyrie] OI! PLS HELP! I’M IN PRISON AGAIN BECAUSE THE STUPID DEBT OFFICE CHANGED THE RULES AND MADE OUR PRIZE MONEY FROM THE ISLAND CHALLENGE ILLEGAL TO USE!
[Cheri > Kyrie] Oh yeah, also, be sure to stop by our new place, soon. Everyone’s been waiting to see you, and Kana’s been practicing her ‘welcome home’ hugs.
[Cheri > Kyrie] ANYWAYS COME GET EVERYONE NAD HELP MEEEEEE
That’s quite the interesting text.
Mentioned: @wrathfulresonance
@wrathfulresonance said: lani immediately would just :grabbed: @ him TBH
" Weeeeeeee- "
He says, as he is grabbed. Truly, this is the Monstadt Lifestyle.
"...Hey, Lancer? There was an idol group I was going to watch the debut of but... it looks like it never happened? I was hyped for them." Aria may have been invested in the idol group that got fired but missed it.
" Eh? Oh, I think I heard about that lot, from some rumors... Think they got into some trouble with management about personal stuff? I don't really get it, though. "
He's never been much for idol stuff, but he does tend to overhear things, a lot. And from what he heard, that group was uh...
Something else.
".....Alright. You've convinced me..." She's wiping her tears and trying to school her face back into its expressionless 'normal' look. "I'm gonna head back. Might be a bit, so thanks for talking to the Supreme Kai of Time for me. I'll be back as soon as I'm able."
And thus, Kyrie will return- at the end of the angst arc.
" No need to worry! You make sure to take care of yourself, alright? "
And thus, the group of three would give her all thumbs ups...
As well as the sudden crowd of time patrollers, who were all crying and cheering Kyrie on, in the background.
Where...did they come from?
Ah, who cares.
And she'd watch as they showed her the scrolls. Though none of them showed her being cursed out or being blamed, a small part of her wondered if it'd been behind the scenes.
Hearing the ones that she'd gotten somewhat close to talk about her in such a friendly manner? She didn't get it. She ruined their lives- how could they like her?
It was when the one with Kana drawing that amazing picture that hung on their fridge for so long was shown that something happened. For the longest time, there'd been no emotion on Kyrie's face. But when she looked at her coworkers-
Tears. An actual sad look on her face.
"...Why do they love me? I only ever hurt them!" Yup, she's bawling now. "I'm sorry- I'm so, so sorry..."
" Well, the answer should be obvious at this point, shouldn't it? "
He'd then toss the three scrolls back into the box they came from, as he put a hand on the other's shoulder.
" To them, you're family. You always HAVE been family. And you always WILL be family. "
" He's right, ya know? " And here comes Nio with the one armed hug, over the shoulder.
" I don't think those guys would consistently praise you and want you to come back so much if they didn't love you with all their hearts. Nothing you did hurt them in any way, and they really do believe that. "
As for Celera...she would pat her on the shoulder, before giving her a calm smile...
" So...what're you doing just standing here? I believe your family's waiting for you, right? We'll handle and explain everything to the Supreme Kai of Time. "
Love her? "I caused them to lose their jobs as idols. They have every right to hate me." Because she thought that was what was true. No one's ever told her different- but that was because she never asked. Only made worse by the fact she was blamed for it outside of the group.
"It shouldn't be heartbreaking. It's... normal for people to leave, whether it's because of what they believe is true or otherwise. In the group, we were sort of a family but that... that ended the moment we got fired."
Because of her. Because of her.
"I bury myself in work to pay off their debts, and to remind myself it's all I'm good for. Nothing good ever happens with me around. Trina's always antagonizing people- I don't think she ever used to do that. Cheri's foul-mouthed but she has a really good heart. There were other members- I think one of their names was Jane?- that had a lot more happier times when it didn't go to hell."
She's rubbing her face. There's tears, but she just wanted to go work and forget about it. Forget about what she'd done. "Elena left, so I just. I took it as a sign. The "family" started falling apart when I got there. I'm bad luck no matter what I do."
(Which isn't true, of course- She just got dealt a very bad hand)
[ God- I'm sorry for the angst but Kyrie over here is angsting hard and I wanna bonk her. ]
" ...I don't mean to sound rude or insult those guys...but I'm gonna be real. They lost their jobs ENTIRELY on their own. Nothing you did lead to them being fired. " As proof...he'd bring out a time scroll that recorded the 'oh so important' scene of each and every one of the idols being fired...
And each scene showed was just the managers having all of their own very unique crash outs with each of the idols, and didn't mention Kyrie, at all.
Cheri? Yelled at and fired for flipping off and cursing at a crowd, mid-concert. Entirely her own fault.
Kana? Uh...nobody was actually mean to her, but they let her off cause she just straight up couldn't do anything they told her to do, singing and dancing wise.
Janice? Accidentally seduced one of the managers by being too nice, and their wife got angry and fired her.
Needless to say, it was a LONG compilation of crash outs, all of which served to prove that she had no involvement in their firing.
" As for the whole hate thing... "
SHE then brought out a time scroll, recording events after the firing.
...
...
Not a single event showed any of them blaming Kyrie in anyway. In fact...it was the opposite.
Each scene showed them praising Kyrie for being super reliable and one of the nicest members of their group. All of them had their own unique way of expressing it, but not a single scene expressed hate or blame towards her actions.
" ...I get it's easy to blame yourself when things look bad...but that's just not the case, here. They love you. They really do. "
As for one last time scroll...it was the time when Kana was in the midst of making a drawing of everyone holding hands, before it got put on the fridge. And when she got to Kyrie portion of the drawing...it showed the younger idol smiling, and getting to work with an enthusiastic smile on her face.
"Why are you guys after me?" Kyrie just wanted to go get her morning meal before work- "I haven't messed with time. I'm doing my job. Please stop."
She is not going to escape, is she-
" ...Well funny thing is uh...we KINDA gotta sorta...well...okay, we just want you to understand that family of yours loves ya, ya see? It's just WAY too much of a heart breaker to see ya leave each other. "
Oh, they are NOT leaving.
" We appreciate all the work you've done, we really do... But...we also don't wanna see you bury yourself in it and leave the ones who love you behind, because of some belief that isn't true. "
Blunt about, as usual.
" Normally, I'm opposed to these idiots... But...they're right, for once. NOBODY in that group blames you for anything. And their situation is something can't be blamed on a single individual. Everyone contributed to it in their own way, and they're all choosing to stick together to work past it, as a team... By leaving them, do you really think that makes them happy? "
" ... "
She has a bad feeling about this text from Kyrie..
