Chris educating Claire

CLP: What does that mean?
CVV: you're not good but you're not bad.
CVV: you're average at "fucking souls up".
CVV: you're like every other prince of heart.
CVV: that's your one, single trump card that will fail 50% of the time.
CVV: always did, still probably does.
CLP: Then if you think I could be a better Prince, then speak up.
CVV: i think you could.
CLP: Then tell me how I can improve, Chris.
CVV: remember andy?
CVV: actual andy. our andy.
CVV: the one that wasn't a genocidal maniac.
CVV: he had /no/ powers.
CLP: Really?
CVV: he was a 13 year old kid who had his prince of heart potential stolen from him, never to be able to become a full fledged prince of heart.
CVV: all he had was a bigass sword.
CVV: and he kicked.
CVV: my.
CVV: ass.
CLP: What even has to happen to do that?
CVV: he /tried/.
CLP: No, I mean to have his potential stolen.
CVV: himself.
CVV: literally, himself. not him at the moment, but he was pitted against some other iteration of him.
CVV: he lost, bad, and he took his god tier.
CVV: but the literal child that lost his god tier powers and only had a sword kicked my ass, because he practiced his powers every single free second he got.
CVV: sure. they never evolved into anything.
CVV: but he shouldn't have even had them in the first place.
CVV: you, on the other hand?
CVV: you have fancy pink electricity.
CVV: you never worked to get where you are.
CLP: I can also grip souls.
CVV: wow. so can every other heart player.
CVV: you are a toddler with a gun.
CLP: Well, I had a teacher, but she was a Thief.
CLP: Lady Ursula offered, but I didn't and still don't know how to contact her.
CVV: i doubt she'd waste her time on you now.
CLP: Because I'm in the military?
CVV: because you're an incompetent asshole.
CLP: Incompetent?
CVV: incompetent.
CLP: Then tell me how I can improve.
CVV: did you not listen to a word i said?
CVV: andy /worked/.
CVV: that's all you need to do.
CVV: and you've never done it in your entire god life.
CLP: So I need to practice my powers. How? Pick fights with people?
CVV: no, moron.
CVV: you can do that without fighting people.
CLP: You're suggesting I practice on myself?
CVV: on the things around you.
CVV: andy figured out how to physically manipulate shit.
CVV: i don't know how.
CVV: but he did it.
CVV: try /everything/. don't think it would work? think it would be useless? try it.
CVV: i'm not going to baby your ass.
CLP: Alright.
