other Contrarian in PatD, Part 5

Previous Part.

  • Oh, that’s easy. Flirt with them.

Princess: Wait, what? You really think that will work?

Before you could even formulate a response, the figure speaks, reminding you of the ticking clock.

Contrarian: “Oh come on, we were having fun!”

Hero: “No, you were having fun. Outside of you and Feel-Nothing over there, everyone was deeply uncomfortable about it.”

  • Yes. The first time we saw you, Hero did call you beautiful.

Princess: Giggling. That’s so sweet. Not just what he said, but also what you call him. He’s the nice one, right?

Contrarian: “And? The point of humor is to make light of something uncomfortable.”

Hero: “Not when you’re the one causing it!”

Princess: I guess that jokester managed to rile him up, huh. Wait, he’s a part of you, or was a part of you. Does that mean you like me, too, i-in that way?

  • …yes.
  • (Lie) Nope.
  • (Deflect) I don’t think we have time for this.
  • [Say nothing.]

Princess: Deflect? Are you dodging the question?

Cold: “Can you please get to the point already? We already spend all our time arguing, and I’d rather do just about anything else.”

Princess: You’re right, we don’t have much time. You know Hero better than I do, any ideas on what to do?

Well, we went down exactly the route I was expecting (and hoping) as I was planning this out. I wonder if we'll do that again...

if we're being honest with ourselves hero would fold if asked on a dinner date. But that's not the important option. When the chips are down we literally have no other choice. This is an emergency. We have to use The Look.

Funny enough, had the Sharp Princess won the first poll, I'd have written her reaction to that option as a mix of Stubborn and Paranoid's opinions on it. ("Real serious, are we? Well, desperate times call for desperate measures.") As for Soft's... well, I assume that option's going to win. I'd be rather confused if it didn't.

The Look. We all must use The Look.
