Friedrich: You...you're THAT old?!
Kurfürst: I am
Scharnhorst: I don't mean to be rude, but how are you still alive?!
Kurfürst: That's because of the Wisdom cube giving me Biological Immortality
Bismarck: That...makes sense, but the cube needs to be used on a ship that's been built before it produces the person. If you're that old there shouldn't be a ship of your caliber in existence
Kurfürst: Bismarck...do you remember what I said about me being the guinea pig for Wisdom cube research?
Bismarck:...Yes?
Kurfürst: They drew plans for a ship of incredible power and defense, simply to test if it will produce a powerful shipgirl...it did
She sighed, before clapping her hands together.
Kurfürst: Now then, no need to be so melodramatic, tonight is a night to celebrate!
"YEAH!!"
——
Friedrich: Ooohhh...
Kurfürst:*sigh* I warned you...
Kurfürst was resting her hand on her sister's back, as she hurled into a toilet.
Kurfürst: You girls doing ok?
She looked to the side and noticed Bismarck and Eugen leaning against the door, both wobbling a bit and clearly drunk.
Kurfürst: Jesus...alright, you two can get home can't you?
Eugen: I...I say yeaah~...
Kurfürst:...Clearly not
Z23: I'll take them back, there's a reason I don't drink when they do
Kurfürst:*mutters* At least one of you's responsible...
Z23 left with the two while Kurfürst picked up Friedrich, who was finally done in the toilet. She carried her back to her room before heading outside and looking at the moon.
Kurfürst: It's still surprising that someone walked on that thing, I never thought it possible but look what Humanity has done
...
She leaned against the railing, narrowing her eyes and appearing threatening.
Kurfürst: I know you're there
From behind a nearby tree, a Siren android walked out and into view. Kurfürst turned around and looked at it, as it's face never changed.
Kurfürst: So what's a Siren bot doing here of all places? Did they send you to kill me? Subdue me?
The android walked closer and raised its hand, palm up. From its palm, a large hologram sprung up.
Kurfürst: Ah...it's been many years hasn't it Empress?
Empress: Oh please, we're friends! You can call me by name and you know it
Kurfürst:*grits teeth* I'd rather burn in hell than call you a friend Arbiter
Arbiter: That's a shame...after all these years you still hate me
Kurfürst: And you know damn well why
Arbiter: Yet you still never question the how...yes I did it, but how did I do it?
Kurfürst: Does that matter? She's dead!
Arbiter: Are you sure of that?
...
Kurfürst: What the hell are you on about?
Arbiter: You and I both know just how tough that woman is, what makes you think she really kicked the bucket?
Kurfürst: You...
Kurfürst shook from rage, she remembered everything about that day.
The Siren attack on Japan.
Kurfürst: She was shot dead in front of me...I'll never forget that!!
Arbiter was unamused, but did nothing.
Kurfürst: I dealt with the death of Otto, it was inevitable...Senna didn't deserve to go out like that!
Her tears slowly came forward, but these were tears of anger, not sorrow.
Arbiter: Adorable...now then Kurfürst, I do have something to say about her
Arbiter pulled a chain in front of her, showing the golden locket attached to the end.
Arbiter: You remember this, right? Of course you do!
Kurfürst: HOW DID YOU GET THAT?!
Arbiter: Oh you know...I have my ways...
Kurfürst leapt forward and grabbed the android's hand, the bot didn't respond at all.
Kurfürst: I swear to you Arbiter, next time I see you your head is gonna be put on a pike!
Arbiter: Oooh~, big words! But...
Arbiter cruelly smirked
Arbiter: How would Senna like that? Hm?
She cut off the Hologram, as Kurfürst ripped the droid's arm off, the droid went through a portal with no care in the world as Kurfürst was fuming.
Kurfürst: I'll fucking kill her...
She did her best to calm down, deciding to take the broken metal to the room with her.
Kurfürst: Senna...alive?...
She let out a shaky breath
Kurfürst: That's impossible, I...watched her brain splatter over me...
She forced back some vomit before entering her room and retiring for the night.
—————
Arbiter: Haaah...she still denies it
She stood up from her throne and put the locket back in the chair's compartment.
Arbiter: Maybe next time she'll finally understand
The door to the throne room opened, and the tentacles covered girl walked in.
Arbiter: Ah, Observer! Just the girl I needed to see
Alpha:*shocked* You...needed me?
Arbiter: Yes, I have an important mission for you
Alpha shook away her surprise and focused.
Arbiter: Tell me Alpha, do you have friends?
Alpha: Hmm...I guess the closest I have is Compiler and Tester Beta
Arbiter: Good, do you see how you can act free and careless with them?
Alpha: Yes, when we finish our duties, we tend to hang out
Arbiter smiled
Arbiter: Good, very good...
She sat back down on her throne, with a commanding smile.
Arbiter: I need you to find out what Kurfürst enjoys in life, other than her children
Alpha: May...May I inquire why?
Arbiter: I understand you hate her with every cell in your body, but this will be important to know, understood?
Alpha nodded, and left the room.
...
Arbiter sighed to herself, leaning back in her seat.
Arbiter: I need to relax
She snapped her fingers and had a small siren drone hover a bottle of whisky with a shot glass to her.
Arbiter: Ah! Lagavulin!
She reached out with both hands while the drone put the objects in either hand.
Arbiter: This is my favorite type! You're so kind~
The drone flew off as she poured a shot for herself, she downed it and staggered a bit as the liquor settled.
Arbiter: Mhmm~...strong stuff
She poured another shot before turning on a camera that showed her a hologram of Kurfürst's body, rigging and all.
Arbiter: How long will you deny the truth? When will you finally see underneath the underneath? Ohh I'm dying to find out Mathilde!
*sip*
Arbiter: ACK! That went down the wrong pipe!
