#and would also kick norths ass for what lil they do know. if she realised. but idk if she does

[space-ninja-fashion-show]

I was thinking about Kohlrabi's, North's, and Keiko's relationships with the Holdfasts and got hit with the realisation that Keiko, steadfast, cocky, too-adult-for-her-own-good Keiko is scared of Cavalero

North finds out about this either via a tiny dropped hint from Lanius, or from their own observations. And look, North already doesn't like Cavalero. They find him to be intimidating and unpleasant and potentially dangerous in the "I don't want the kids or myself spending a lot of time around an attitude like That" way. Learning that Keiko is somehow scared of the guy doesn't make North feel any less intimidated but they Do progress to "if he gets within ten feet of either of the kids I will have to do something about it jic"

(Things would go v differently if Higgins was already around and autonomous at this point bc Higgins is a tiny package of bad ideas begging to be executed and he'd probably have some inadvisable ways of dealing with this. But for better or for worse, Higgins is not yet around)

The reason Keiko is scared of Cavalero?

Well

Back before the attempted jump to Tau, things were already going to shit in the law and discipline department. We know that there was dissent and that those caught doubting the mission of the Zariman were "made an example of." In good ole Orokin fashion, getting glassed was probably a public execution kind of ordeal

People had every reason to give a wide berth to any enforcer of the law stationed aboard the ship

And Keiko? Keiko was what some might call a problem child. Stubborn and sharp-tongued and not one to be pushed around. Only obeying rules she found to make sense. A lot of this was ofc considered disrespect and misbehaviours, and combined with the fact that Keiko overall didn't get along well with her peers, it made her really easy to throw under the bus

She had seen the glassings, probably saw worse too, things she wasn't meant to, and she was disliked and misbehaving by just talking back and standing up for herself, and in the end, can you really blame her for believing those in charge of her when they'd said that if she continued down this path, she'd be taken away by the enforcers too? It was an attempt to intimidate some sense into her. To get her to behave. No enforcer would've cared to apprehend a mouthy kid, no teacher or classmate or cephalon would've gone to the lengths of actually calling them on Keiko, but she had no way to know the threats weren't genuine. No one had ever told her they weren't genuine

To Keiko, Cavalero was a ruthless, flesh-and-blood boogeyman

And now? Back aboard the Zariman? She's just supposed to trust him? When he's just standing there, acting like an ally, giving out weapons? Weapons?! To her?!

Cavalero, Quinn, a goddamn Archimedean, they can all go rot in void corruption for the rest of eternity for all Keiko cares. She doesn't trust them. No one should trust them. The only one she's willing to be around is Hombask bc Hombask had tried to help, thought that sabotaging the biomes would keep things from going to hell, and good thing she's the farthest away from the rest too, so Keiko doesn't have to look at them. Hombask lets her hang around and always has fun garbage to sort through and offered to help her assemble furniture, and even if that's not an offer Keiko would ever take her up on, it's noted

Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? - Episode Six

I'd tell Kettle-kun to run if he hadn't tried already and FAILED

Ohp, he's going for it again. The mad lad

He got mad speed

Then again, I suppose all his base stats are supposed to be S rank

And he walked into a random door. It was nice knowing you Bell

Is THIS how they announce Spicyroll then?

DON'T RUN INTO THE HOUSE YOU TIT

Bell, mah boi, you are anime as hell right now

WHY DID YOU STOP WITH THE RUNNING?!

WHY ARE YOU OPENING MORE DOORS WHEN YOU WERE TRYING TO BLOW THIS POPSICLE STAND?!

Well aren't you lucky that she just straight fainted on you

That girl must be legit blind

KETTLE-KUN, I KNOW YOU FEEL THE NEED TO APOLOGISE. BUT YOU REALLY OUGHTA BOOGIE

Okay, compelling idea. If you talk to someone who lives here, or at least works here, you might get a lead on the exit

So, I'm with you're continued conversation with Haruhime

Well that's awful nice of you, Haruhime. Question though: Why dawn? Where am I staying for the intervening time? On what guarantee do I have it that I'm not going to be ridden like a cream dispensing pony in my sleep?!

Answer me these questions three.

SUBTLE

"Yeah. We should get going at dawn. But since I'm doing you this favour, chat with me?" Sounds reasonable, until you realise that all it'd take would be one of the initial group or anyone who watched the war game to catch his voice on their ears and then he's being taken to an actual sex dungeon

AN ACTUAL SEX DUNGEON HARUHIME

Like, I get it Spring Princess. You'd like some company. Can we arrange to meet up later though? Like a time when I'm NOT being chased by lust compelled Amazons who want my sweet Cranel seed?!

What place DOESN'T have four distinct seasons and ISN'T the north or south poles?

And also, PARDONFUCK? They disowned you at Eleven?! Why?! Did you have understandable hesitation at being married off to some guy quadruple your age and they went "Fuck it, she's a bust. YEET!"?

Did you happen to anger your father by being concerned about marrying someone quintuple your age, mayhaps? Because if so, he needs to get as fucked with a power sander

Hold the phone. You were SOLD to the Ishtar famillia?! By who?! Daddums yeeted you from the family if memory serves! Did Mommy pick you up and say "Yeah, I need a pack of fags. So I'm selling you to the red light district for a tenner. Have fun becoming a literal fuck toy!"

Whilst it's cute and all that Spring Princess and Kettle-kun are bonding over tales of heroes. ARE WE JUST GOING TO GLAZE OVER THE BITS WHERE SHE WAS DISOWNED FROM HER FAMILY AND THEN SOLD TO THE ISHTAR FAMILIA?!

Not even just straight sold to the red-light district. Disowned AND THEN sold to them

It's bad either way, but FUCK

Hermes is about to get his mack on whether he wants to or not it seems

dials 999 Moshi moshi, keisatsu desu ka?

So... how many women do we have in the harem now?We have Bestia, Lil' Lili, Freya, Ais (debatably), that one chick from the pub (Syr, was it?), his handler and now Haruhime. I've probably missed a couple of people from this list too!

AND WHO THE FUCK TOLD YOU THAT SPRING PRINCESS?!

You go where you please, as you please, how you please!

I'll fuckin' fight anyone who told you otherwise

Bonus points if it's the toad looking amazon, because dear lord a beat down extraordinaire could only improve her looks shudders

WHY ARE YOU SHOUTING NOW BELL?! DID YOU FORGET THAT A THOUSAND THIRSTY AMAZONS ARE COMING FOR YOUR HESTIA KNIFE?!

AND WHO THE FYUCK SAYS THAT HEROES ONLY SAVE THE PRINCESSES AND THE SAINTS?

!I'LL KICK THEIR ASS TOO!

Would you like a list of reasons why they would save you? Or would it simply be faster to list the reasons why they wouldn't? 'Cause I'll list of the latter list right fuckin' now: THERE AIN'T NO REASON THEY WOULDN'T SAVE YOU

Heroes ain't some kinda class you study in throws Fire Emblem out the door

Everyone has each of their own! A hero is someone who strives to make your life better! It could be that they put their own life in danger to protect yours! It could be that they simply want to spend their life with you to bring you happiness!

Heroes are of all stripes! Just because I'm not one doesn't mean I don't know this

Shit! Maybe I'm someone's hero and I don't know it!

That's the miracle of this! So don't you dare go trying to jam yourself down by saying that no hero would come save you!

SAY SOMETHING KETTLE-KUN!

DON'T JUST LET HER DERIDE HERSELF LIKE THIS

You've disappointed me, Bell

So it was Hermes who was ridden like a cream dispensing pony

YOU'LL FUCKING WHAT, LADY

I have a long list of people I need to fight now it seems.
