Why -did- you find it necessary to kill Lysaras? Were you really just that pissed off? Don't you think that was a little harsh?

Donnie: You know, I'd never killed anyone before all of that mess. I don't really like killing. If I had done it just because I was pissed off, yeah, that would be more than a little harsh - it would be outright insane. I would deserve to be locked up if I'd done it just because I was angry.
No... I killed her for what she'd done to our Suit. I'm not just saying that lightly. She bungled just about everything. She couldn't manage, she couldn't assert herself, and she let everyone walk all over the institution she was charged to guard and protect. She did a piss-poor job of all of it and she knew it. That much was obvious.
She took on the stewardship of an entire suit and she failed it miserably. In doing so, she failed every single person under her care, every Spade in every region. We've become a laughingstock among the other Courts, and saying you're a Spade carries no special pride. Sure, you could take pride in yourself, but if you looked to any sort of example, the pinnacle of your suit... all you had to look at was her and the horrific mess she made of the Court.
I had no idea it was that bad before I got here. The smirks and jibes from those more in tune with the inner workings of the Court hadn't made as much sense. I thought them exaggeration. But no...
That woman nearly single-handedly killed the Court of Spades. She'd never fought for anything successfully in her life, from what I could tell, and in the end... not even her life. That was why. If she wouldn't fight for her Court, then she would fight for herself.

Yeah... that makes sense. For a while there, Club pride was on the rise over the spades XD
Which brings me to another question. What do you think about the other Suits? Is there a weird sense of pride and competition?

Donnie: You know, I don't have anything against the other suits as a whole. I've met a whole spectrum of people who've been real nasty pieces of work, and real sweethearts, from both. Hearts tend to be bitchier than some, from my experience, but a lot of that might come from their powers. I mean, how many of those things are militant? I don't know all of them, or the scope of some of them, but geez. The whole "pick up something and beat you over the head with it" is pretty well known, whether it's a sword or a pool noodle.

Karrock: ... Do you trust the fashion sense of a man?

Donnie: I would hesitate, and hem and haw... but if they were talking sense, I think I'd listen.

So.. from what I understand, your instrument came to an untimely end, yes? When a Villa loses their instrument.. what kind of affect does that have? Can you ever find one that can replace it?

Donnie: I... well, I... it was painful. Really, really painful. It wasn't bonded to me magically or anything like that, but... I /made/ the stupid thing. It may as well have been a part of me, except it wasn't. It just felt like a little death inside. It was certainly the immediate death of any semblance of relationship, in that instance. As for replacing it, I'd have to make one in order to truly replace it. I'd made that thing by hand. I'd need to make a different one.

Did you ever think that.. possibly making another one would be the symbol of starting a new life? It might be good for you. I think you should do it <3 Why haven't you done it yet? It obviously sounds important to you.

Donnie: I guess the wound was too fresh at first. It took me /so/ long to make it, and I had been so /proud/, and there it was, smashed to bits at my feet. I needed something to focus on, something to /do/, so I decided to pursue my long-standing ambitions towards the Court before making that decision.
I'm going to do it someday, I know that much. I just don't know when. Things need to calm down a little first, I think.
