week 2 - magnus - saturday, post-trial

[It's late when Newt spots Magnus hanging around outside of the movie theater. Ugh. This guy. Newt is so beyond not in the mood to talk to him right now.

But, well, he'd be lying if he tried to claim their last conversation hasn't been stuck in his head all night.]


Guess we're three for three on Reapers.

[And that's as much as his pride will let him admit defeat.]

Oh. I know Makoto. We fought, she nearly kicked my ass. She's all right.

But if you don't want me to talk to them, or, uh, rough him up a little, what do you want from me.

Who says I ever didn't? Just didn't like you! Doesn't mean I wouldn't help out if you think some guy's gonna kill you.

[Honestly, it's not that bad. At least, he doesn't seem to be holding onto a grudge, the way he says it.]

Well, that's easy. [Crackling his knuckles, just enough to show off the muscles underneath his partially rolled up sleeves.] Even if you were a Reaper, if you came for me, I'd kick your ass.

Uh. Seriously, though? I don't like, y'know, manipulative shit. If I've got a problem with someone, I wanna punch 'em and work it out. If I wanna kill someone, I'll just kill 'em. I don't really care about hiding from the Reapers. I mean, I have to care some, because I have Taako, and because, uh, there's some really important things I have to do at home. But not enough to just not trust anyone just because they might try to kill me at some point.

Yeah? No, I figured all that? [He's pretty confident.] I mean, if they're going to set the stage for me, all I really ask is they see if Max will let them get a really big monster. It's been a while since I've fought just a real big monster.

Mm, little of A, little of B? If I thought you were a Reaper, I'd still talk to you, but I'd tell you to your face what I think. But I don't have any reason to think you are, and that's why I don't care.

I don't even necessarily got a beef with Reapers. Like, fuck Junko, fuck Dahlia, but I dunno. Terra wasn't the worst. It's just that the way things are set up, it's us against them, and they're playing us versus them, so so am I?

I mean, I promise I'm not having fun. I'm just saying! There's no special reason why they're better or worse than any other killer, except for the part where they were told they're playing a game where they kill us, and clearly they're rolling with it.

We're on the same page with that, buddy! I'm just saying, for me, it isn't personal.
ruffboi: (parry)

...Okay. Look. Honesty time. I've kinda just been telling people this, about Reapers, to get it out there? Just in case. Doesn't mean it's not true, but -

[Pausing to gather his thoughts.]

Uh. I don't really care about moral equivalency? I've never understood why people think right and wrong are so complicated you have to debate over it. Junko and Dahlia seemed pretty bad, and everyone keeps saying Terra was a good guy, but, uh, he strangled someone who didn't hurt anybody and lied to all his friends. Seems bad to me!

But there's a lot of people here who keep saying it, right? Hey, Terra was a good guy. Reapers aren't so bad. Maybe the Reapers are being forced. Like, it's real important to them for us to know about it. So. I can't help but think, hey, do you know something? Got a buddy who told you something? Is it you? And, um, if they are trying to tell us something, I want it out there. I'm listening, now. Once you've killed somebody? I won't be listening anymore.
