[wincon]

false

whatever
I'll pick truth this time

[suibian]

truth: what do you look for in a friend? so i can know, in order to understand why i'm so unpleasant to be around for you

[wincon]

[ that's... actually a pretty good question, and one he hasn't thought about before. thing is, he doesn't really go looking for friendship, so how's he supposed to know what he "looks for"? maybe he knows what he's not looking for though— ]

people who don't demand things from me
people who don't overestimate their charm
people who don't overestimate what they deserve from me
people who listen to what I say
people who share my goals
people who like to do things for me
people who try to earn the things they want

[ er... is there more... ]

[suibian]

[ well, that's interesting. the first two, lol, he's sure he counts as doing that to tomura but it's fine!!

but there's one part there that has wei wuxian curious. ]

what are your goals? if they're so important that you want people to share them

[ though he knows that's asking two questions but hey, either he'll answer to turn it back on wei wuxian. ]

[wincon]

here, it's good enough if they'll help me go back
maybe throw a wrench in things here when there's a chance

[ he's not deliberately obscuring his goals in his world out of shame or something; it's just not particularly useful to someone who's never going there, isn't it? ]

[suibian]

[ it's true, it's not like wei wuxian wouldn't do the same if asked. ]

oh. so game 52 then.

[wincon]

among other things.

[ aka: if there's a cheat he's damn well going to find it. ]

[suibian]

ahahaha i see!! you're more driven than i expected

[wincon]

that should've been obvious

[ is he going to be a little shit about this? turnabout's only fair... ]

[suibian]

[ turnabout IS only fair. please, be a little shit. ]

well i'm just getting to know you! how could i know?

[wincon]

you should assume better of people you're getting to know

[ unless it's him. he can judge all he wants!! ]

[suibian]

[ oh i see how it is ]

so what should i be assuming of you? that you're super smart, super attractive, super benevolent?

[wincon]

that works

[suibian]

that's what i'll assume then. let's see if it does me any favors.

[wincon]

that's just the way to be if you wanna be buddies isn't it?

[suibian]

well it's definitely your rules to being buddies, for sure. which i will respect and follow!

[wincon]

good

now it's only fair for you to pick again

[suibian]

oh damn. okay, truth!

[wincon]

what's the worst thing you've done to someone

[ are you all sunshine and friendship... he don't believe it. ]

[suibian]

[ ha. ha ha ha. ]

resurrected a friend of mine as a living corpse and forced immortality onto him. had him fight on my behalf and accidentally killed my brother in law because of it.

[wincon]

but it's all sunshine and rainbows with you, huh?
why would anyone want you as a friend if that's what they get out of it?

[suibian]

i never said that. and i never said my friendship was all that worthwhile either.

my friendship is just the same as anyone else's — with its own share of good and bad

[wincon]

the cons seem like they outweigh the pros right now

[suibian]

you asked a question and are judging me for the answer. i should have lied, if i knew you were going to go on such moral grandstanding about it.

[wincon]

sure it's not like I got any room to talk
but I don't get it either
is being someone's friend something that doesn't matter?
