X-COM/XSDF RP THINK TANK (part3)

[MarineAvenger]

Well, if Brigid had stated how she felt clearly to Korra then I would strongly disagree with that. Because at that point, sure, Korra could still go after Cayden, but at that point she'd have no right to call Brigid her friend if she knowingly slept with someone that Brigid was interested in.

Her argument was, since Brigid and Cayden were not dating, it was not cheating, regardless of Brigid's feelings towards Cayden. She further argued, even if Korra had full knowledge and wasn't a dunce (Afterwards I did tell her she was an alien and she retracted that) since Cayden had no idea about Brigid's feelings, she had no right to be mad at him, but solely Korra. At one point early on in, she did blame it all on Brigid since she went to Mikhail and Sasha first instead of Cayden, but after I explained who they were she was like, 'Oh... well now I feel dicky.'

Ah... good times.

Though when I also told her about Kallpa, her quote was basically, 'Well, shit... Cayden is fucked.'

 

[MarineAvenger]

Very good point, my friend. I had to make sure that wasn't the case. That Korra was misinformed, because if she wasn't, I too would agree that Korra would make for a lousy person. My goal with this one was 'share the blame', as opposed to the thing with Eve and Fox where most, if not all, of the blame was one Eve.

That... is terrifying. I feel I am missing the context. I... need to find my happy place.

Go home Vegeta, you're drunk.

See, Kallpa actually has no clue what happened, so one of them is going to have to tell him.

I plan a little solo between Brigid and Korra in which they both get a few things off their chest, and Brigid tells Korra what I personally believe is the best option; be upfront, because the truth will come out eventually.

cough... korra... cough (Every time you get with that... just remember. *Leans into ear* I plowed it first. Menacing laughter)

 

[Dahlexpert]

Cassia: Congrats Brigid you finally found some courage, even though it was pure anger but courage none the less. Cassia says while tearing up a little on the inside.

 

[Frostlich1228]

So basically...

Brigid loved Cayden but waited too long and he had sex with Korra. Brig got rully butthert that she slept with his romantic interest, but it all kinda worked out? Oh, and a crazy psionic brawl happened in there somewhere.

Meanwhile, in SoD. Ammy waits too long to tell Desmond, and she just sort of responds with, "Oh.. Okay... I hope you two are happy..."

Interesting contrast there.

Well... severely different circumstances as well.

Desmond and Ammy... never met before and knew each other for what... a month?

Brigid and Cayden... Brigid knew his father since she was six, was around Cayden most of his teen life, and also had kissed once before several years ago with different circumstances... yeah, I say there would be contrast

 

[MarineAvenger]

Cassia: Congrats Brigid you finally found some courage, even though it was pure anger but courage none the less. Cassia says while tearing up a little on the inside.

*Cassia tears up because she waited too long and lost the love of her life*

 

[MarineAvenger]

Also... did everyone just gloss over the fact

Spoiler

BRIGID WAS IN LOVE WITH HIS FATHER!

Yeah, if you thought that would be brought up once and forgotten then you are sorely mistaken, this won't be forgotten

Remember kids, when you wait too long to get your Plan A AND are way late for your Plan B, just date the bug girl everyone is scared of, you know she's single!

Harsh...

 

[MarineAvenger]

Also, thought I would point out...

“A risk of what? This!” Sasha shouted, flipping out her pistol and holding it against the side of her head. Sarah and the guards froze.

“Sasha, put the gun down!” Sarah pleaded fearfully.

“Why should I….” I’m a failure, I couldn’t protect anyone… so many died… I-I can’t…The Russian-American pulled the trigger, and a beam of reverberating energy leapt out, only for Sasha to be pushed out of the way by a sudden telekinetic force. Sasha glanced at the robed hand that had pushed her out of the way uncomprehendingly, not even noticing the scorch mark the laser had left on the wall to her other side. The hand and the vaguely-defined arm behind it faded back into her shoulder from where it had come from. “Why…” Sasha asked her Reflection before collapsing to her knees, drained even further by the unconscious activation of her newfound power.

"No. You don't." The violet aura around Brigid collected over her shoulder, so dark it looked black. It took the shape of a large crow with glowing red eyes. The crow dug its claws into Brigid's shoulder, drawing blood, and screeched at Cayden. "Get... out... of my... way."

Cayden gritted his teeth, so hard he had not realized they began to grind together. Cayden rushed forward and he threw his right hand out, but before the ball of rotating energy struck Brigid, it popped like a bubble and instead, Cayden grabbed the collar of Brigid's shirt, pulling the woman towards him despite the massive surge of oppressive energy he felt and he pressed his lips against hers, despite the blood on her mouth, and he quickly pulled away. "You stupid, indecisive, Irish dumbass, I love you too! I can't let you out that door because I don't want to lose you!" He yelled, his grip on her tightening. "I slept with Korra because I was scared, and I didn't know if I could count on you or not!"

Meanwhile, in Nick's workshop...

Good point. Though I should mention that everything is not okay. Just because Brigid isn't blind to the blame she shares, it doesn't change the fact that she was really, really hurt, and it'll be an uphill climb. Will they make it? Will the come together? Will they go their seperate ways? Tune in to find out, same Bat Time, same Bat Channel.

Cassia: Congrats Brigid you finally found some courage, even though it was pure anger but courage none the less. Cassia says while tearing up a little on the inside.

Hmm... courage... nearly killing your friends with the psionic embodiment of an Irish War Goddess... same difference.

Good point. Can't forget that one. It is an important factoid as to why Brigid waited so long; she knew this would come out eventually, and feared how it would effect Cayden.

 

[Dahlexpert]

Also, when did the psionic powers become spirit animals/ the spirit of someone? Because if that's the Cassia I have some ideas for Cassia.

I think everyone was in love with Desmond at some point.

Ssssss Man is fine...

He's also got that Edgy, Batman, I work alone and I have a checkered past that I keep a secret thing going on.

Much Mysterious, Such Abs.

Sorry, but I highly doubt Cassia is strong enough for a Reflection. Besides, you need a psyche for one and Cassia's brain is the size of a wlnut

Morrigan wasn't, Jessica wasn't, Atka wasn't, Elene wasn't... luckily (Have fun with that one fanfic writers), and Modya wasn't (Don't you dare fanfic writers...)
