[action] A thing explodes dramatically! (Also, please no more threadjackers it's crowded enough)

[trolled_justice]

[Remember that giant TV that the celestials erected?]

[A teleport beam is coming down in front of it...]

... to think that the celestials here would be such monsters...

[Have some music, because Guile's theme goes with everything]

This is... my fault, isn't it... if only I had not spoken with them as I had...

... but this does not excuse their actions...

[She draws her sword with a flourish, staring up at the large screen]

Hear me, Celestia!

I am Pamela Arwig, Captain of the Schwarzkreuz!

Your actions have gone too far!

And this...!

[Pamela portals next to the screen, slashing it... and she portals again, and again, and again... slashing it over and over... finally, she portals to the ground, her back turned to the TV]

... this is my declaration of war!

[and with that, the TV explodes rather dramatically]

[hit_girl_mindy]

I take yours pretty regularly too. They're not any easier to hear.

No, but its a place to start. The robot we can at least isolate and figure how to dismantle, but I don't knwo shit about fighting a celestial.

[trolled_justice]

You insult me first! You expect me to let you flap your tongue in such a way unanswered?!

[hit_girl_mindy]

You unleashed a bunch of crazy angel fuckers on us, one who went to town on my ass. It's not exactly something I'd feel happy about!

And you get up and run your mouth and call me a bunch of shit I usually kill people for, especially when you pretty much tell me I'm trash. Not to mention you get offended pretty damn easily. I have a hard time wondering what is not going to piss you off half the time.

[trolled_justice]

. . .

...

[Dot dot dot]

How many times would you have tried to kill me, then?

[Pamela's certainly not going to have her backed turned to Mindy after that line]

[hit_girl_mindy]

Since there's no way I can keep count...every time you make me sound like I'm dirt, every time you use violence first before asking questions, how you can never ever never be wrong, how I can't have one conversation with you without you getting haughty at least once, automatically believing I'm going to attack you even though YOU jumped me first...do I need to go on?

[trolled_justice]

And how many people have you actually killed over such things?

[Mindy might notice that Pamela's hand is resting on her hilt now... there is no rage this time, just pure coldness]

[hit_girl_mindy]

Over that? It's all you, Pam. Anyone else never knew what I could do. And better believe if they did know what I was capable of doing, they wouldn't keep sticking it in my face.

But then you royal types don't care about offending people you think are beneath you, do you?

[trolled_justice]

At least I have not purposefully murdered people over insults!

... I may have come close to taking your life in such a way, but now you have revealed to me your true dark nature! Your words are as empty as your soul!

[hit_girl_mindy]

[Snickers here]

Wait, you actually believe I kill people for, like, insulting me? Really? I mean, I might feel like it, but they're actually pretty damn evil too. I kill murderers and gangsters and shit like that who usually can't believe a little girl is going to take them out. If I literally killed people for insulting me, I wouldn't even be able to go to school.

[Ok, so some guys tried to take her lunch money and she kicked their asses. NOT THE SAME THING].

See, that's what I'm talking about. Who goes and says someone's soul is empty? That's fucked up.

[trolled_justice]

You...!

[Pamela's gripping her sword, eyes narrowed]

You freely threw in my face that you would have killed people for what I have said, and now you conveniently back-pedal away from that statement?!

How am I supposed to believe anything you say anymore?!

[hit_girl_mindy]

[Oh boy.]

Because sometimes you have to not take people so literally. Come on, if I had actually killed people over insults, don't you think I would have been physically fighting you the first time we met? Don't you think I would have actually wound up killing someone here, or at least had a fight you would have heard about?

[trolled_justice]

... or, perhaps, that is why you wished me to sleep in the same room as you so badly.

It is entirely possible that you hid any evidence of murders.

All I have right now is your word, and you have given me no reason to trust you.

[hit_girl_mindy]

So instead of just actually killing you, I'd do it while you were asleep?

Pfft. Come on. If I'm going to kill someone, I just do it. Killing someone in their sleep is dirty and underhanded. Also, its just lazy.

Yeah you do. I was fighting alongside you a moment ago. And it wasn't for any other reason than those were the bad guys and they would have gotten you. If I wanted you dead, why would I have bothered even getting involved.

[Mindy can't even believe she has to deconstruct why she's not a serial killer right now. This is not happening].

[trolled_justice]

That...

...

By inserting yourself into that situation, you made things more difficult for me! I would have been fine! I did not need you...

[She trails off as she realizes that's ... not really against Mindy's explanation]

... why did you do that? If I had not used my portal in time, I could have accidentally struck you just as that celestial had!

[hit_girl_mindy]

Yeah well, you'd think I would have remembered that, considering how we fought the last time, right? Apparently I forgot that in the moment and thought of you like any other person on my side in a fight. I figured the barrier jacket would withstand the attack, but apparently it has its limits. Good to know.

[Which, in truth, also only partially answered the question].

[trolled_justice]

... you clearly need lessons in battle tactics. But I am not in the mood to lecture you about that.

[She heads for the exit]

[hit_girl_mindy]

New world, new ways to fight. No one is perfect. Obviously won't be making the same mistake again.

[trolled_justice]

[She has nothing to add, so out the door she goes]

[hit_girl_mindy]

[One more thing.]

But thanks...for the healing.
