i am vibrating at the speed of sound at this, i know you said youre struggling to word your 3rd life impulse thoughts but this specific tag is EXACTLY it. This is someone who is competitive and knows playing sides in a way to keep himself from being a target is the best option for survial, and it was working perfectly! but accidentally being the one to kill tango is throwing such a wrench in that and im not sure how well hes gonna be able to pull that back, but oh boy is he trying- He absolutely knows what hes been doing and its gone very well so far,, just, yes absolutely the villianpulse options are so very there its very good

You get it!! His plan was to play everyone against each other, but never against himself. If his name hadn't been the one to show up in the chat, it would have been "it's too bad that had to happen, but you did the right thing!" to Bdubs' group and "I'm so sorry, they didn't tell me what they were going to do!" to Tango, and Impulse would have one less life competing against him and absolutely no blame on him whatsoever. He might have even gotten away with a strengthened alliance with both parties, if he'd played it right. But he screwed up. He let his need to get the upper hand outstrip his caution for exactly one second, all that it took for everything to go downhill.

Each person was supposed to shoot four arrows. Impulse killed Tango with his fifth.

Oh yes, Impulse wanted Tango to die. He just really, really regrets the amount of work he's now going to have to do to make sure that nobody else knows that about him.

#the other thing is that Tango is PUBLICLY known as a chaotic wild card at this point #he's the one who built the lava death box! he's the one who keeps being dramatic about things; like his line about 'i will be back'#because that's Tango's vibe. and it's such an easy road now for Impulse to use that against him and paint himself as the regretful victim #he can play innocent and sad just as well as Tango can play intimidating; and so few people were actually *there* to see how it went down #if Tango does decide to go for revenge at this point it will actually make it easier for Impulse to salvage his plan #because the narrative then will be; he's the poor guy who got forced to kill his friend by Bdubs and now the friend is after him! oh no!#what. a. tragedy. :)#... notice how the first thing he told Skizz (a person he knew would spread the story around)after it happened was that it was Bdubs' fault #the very first thing #yeah; he knows what he's doing #the only regret we'll see out of Impulse is regret that his actions have consequences he didn't forsee #Villainpulse INDEED #nothing personal; of course. :) it's just that he has to win. :)#I'm loving this interpretation so much and I'm really surprised that most people seem to be taking the nice act as a genuine thing #ask
