HAHA, PERIDOT IS AN ENDLESS VACUUM WHERE FEELINGS NEVER ESCAPE.

Uh, basically Ratatosk decided that he really did NOT feel like accepting damage for the sake of protecting other teams, especially since you couldn't really count on the other teams to protect Peridot! So, because he's never switched in a game before, he switched and threw the stones on other teams, namely Iolite and Heliodor. :')

And then everyone sat on him and accused him of not caring about Peridot! So he. Pretty much ragequit the team, and made everyone unhappy.

How is Turquoise dealing with Zwei after everything's died down?

[screwthatnoise]

Zwei has been hiding her head until recently, so they haven't had to deal with her since Oz's murder, past Echo's rants and ramblings about her. Turquoise has been split: one half GET RID OF ZWEI, SHE'S NOTHING BUT A BURDEN ON ECHO/SHE KILLS PEOPLE and one half NO LET'S GIVE HER A CHANCE/ZWEI'S JUST MISUNDERSTOOD/SEE IF YOU CAN GET ALONG WITH HER, ECHO

Guess which side Echo's been on—oh wait.

Since being stabbed by Drift yesterday (ICly), I think Yayoi and Sakura, the ones who I think insisted that Zwei should be considered, too, have realized that Zwei is becoming a problem? I THINK?? THIS IS FROM READING THREADS OK, THEY HAVE NOT LEGIT SAID THIS. Like, Echo informed both of them that she IS going to get Zwei removed, and neither argued at that point. So... I think they are squared away with trying to get rid of her? Nnnot that it's going to work, but oh well.

Did he have any reason for throwing them at Iolite and Heliodor, or were they random?

[euphanasia]

They were completely random! Literally, I did a dice roll.

OKAY, I WANT A RELATIONSHIP. I TRIED REALLY HARD TO RESIST.

WOW I HIT SUBMIT TOO EARLY WTF LET ME EDIT THIS...

i so typed zwei's first because she was easy ok. don't judge. also i like to preview my comments like a million times ok.

...ANYWAY! Regarding Echo, I don't think it has changed TOO much from my previous answer on your last meme. Echo values Emil a lot! He has been there for her, they can relate, and he certainly has made Echo's day before! Definitely of the most important CR going on for her. Echo would still say all of the nice things about them, maybe tack on a few rude comments (to balance it out, ok!!1), and still have difficulty calling him a friend (but secretly consider him one anyway). Echo logic. ONE DAY SHE WOULD LIKE TO GET PAST HER TSUN AND SIMPLY THANK HIM FOR EVERYTHING, but every time she wants to, something comes up or she gets distracted.

Also, in Yuri's question meme, I realized that with the way things are going, or with the right push, Echo could very well end up helplessly crushing on him. '-'a

AS FOR ZWEI, SHE IS PISSED WITH EMIL. Early on, after the crazy shit that went down with Ruby, Zwei was hoping that Turquoise's inability to understand Echo's pleas would wear her down and shut her up. That would have happened, only, that didn't! Echo got encouragement and words of advice from Emil, who DID seem to understand! At first Zwei was like lol that's so cute he's trying to be supportive BUT THEN SHE REALIZED IT WAS DOING THINGS TO ECHO'S HEAD, like giving her a bit of a confidence boost and encouraging her to try to get her thoughts across to her team! AND IT'S STARTED WORKING. With the motive of 'winning Turquoise's trust, using it, abusing it, and eventually fucking them over' on Zwei's mind, Zwei thinks that Emil kind of really ruined things! Not to mention if he were out of the picture, Echo would be submissive and wimpy and weh BUT NO, EMIL WAS THERE FOR HER AND THAT RUINED EVERYTHING GD IT.

So, that's why she would love for him to get out of the picture. He's making Echo better, and for Zwei that's making it worse. :'Dd

OK OK REVERSE...

[euphanasia]

I NEVER GAVE YOU ONE FOR REAL, SO LET'S DO THIS!!

Emil considers Echo extremely important to him in Aather, like she's one of the most significant people for him, outside of Peridot and Citrine. She's in an extremely similar situation to his, and that means that even though he can't give her the most perfect way out (and as far as he is aware, he did create his situation and has to live with it), he can at least talk with her and have her understand. He doesn't walk on the same eggshells with her as he does everyone else, because she gets it. It doesn't matter that she doesn't have to put up with him like Peridot does, and it would be beneficial for them to hear some of the things they talk about, he only really feels comfortable talking with her about them.

That means that Zwei gets to be someone that he can say things to that he'd really like to say to Ratatosk sometimes, while still knowing he can depend on Ratatosk's strength if it goes wrong. YEAH, I CAN TALK BIG, 'CAUSE I HAVE A VIOLENT PERSONALITY TOO. YOU CAN'T BULLY ME, except for when you can. Because while he would be extremely upset if Zwei hurt someone important to him, very much so, he wouldn't abandon Echo, because it really isn't Echo's fault in his head.

S... So, yes, he likes being able to commiserate and look after her. Both because he honestly does want to help her, and because he's selfish and it's reassuring to have someone who understands him. KANT WOULD CALL HIS LOGIC FOR HIS KINDNESS INHERENTLY WRONG, I GUESS.

What IS Zwei planning, if anything?

[screwthatnoise]

Zwei has a few little plans, yes!

ONE: Get rid of Emil

Sure, everyone has talked with Echo about Zwei, and taken her side, but Emil is the big influence on Echo right now. Zwei was talking to Vincent, and she mentioned him, actually! Vincent laughed it off and told her to ignore him, that Echo has already lost to Zwei, and that she's likely to have difficulty trusting another person anyway! Zwei took this as "scare Emil off and having Echo unknowingly think he no longer wants anything to do with her, causing her to become distressed," EXCEPT THIS IS FAILING, OH NOOOO~

TWO: Get on Turq's good side

By doing this she might get more air-time and freedom! Turquoise would trust her and not make jump conclusions (IN HER EYES, hahahaha), and that would be nice! She would get more leeway to pull crazy shit and maybe they will think she didn't do it! Only... this is very difficult now, especially considering that she accidentally got stabbed and Turq's RIGHT NOW already planning to get rid of her. Zwei is kind of panicking because FUCK SHE MIGHT REALLY DIE OR SOMETHING, "I NEED MORE TIIIIME."

THREE: Get rid of Echo

In the scenario that Zwei succeeded with ONE and TWO, she supposes that Echo would be pretty freaking broken at this point. With this set, Zwei would take advantage of this and claim the body from Echo FOR GOOD.

Hilariously, Zwei's attention span with plans is... lacking. She can pull short-term ones, but long-winded plans (like Vincent's) are a little out of her league! If she wants it, she wants it now. She doesn't have the patience for gradual movement, she wants instant gratification. All-in-all, the plan pulls together to make one big one, except she gets the instant gratification she desires by working this way.

HAHA WHAT DOES RATATOSK THINK OF ECHO AND/OR ZWEI, if anything
