[It's not all that unusual to see Asch walking around alone, mostly avoiding people. It is, however, probably unusual to see him walking around without his standard >\ expression, not to mention a red and gold jacket.

It's probably also unusual to see him looking over his shoulder so often almost like he's trying to make sure something isn't there.

Peculiar much?]

... [yeah, Luke's gonna slap you now]

[obsidianmotion]

[ The blow doesn't faze him much, and he immediately grabs Luke's wrist, pulling it above his head. ] Bad choice, replica.

[choushindou]

[shivers, but doesn't seem to react] What would it matter if you kill me?

[obsidianmotion]

It would not. That is why I won't. You would be much more fun to keep you as a toy.

[choushindou]

Like I said, you're confusing me with someone else. ['s it just your imagination, or does he sound kind of distant?]

[obsidianmotion]

[ Pushes on his chin to get him to look up. ] How do you figure that?

[choushindou]

[gives a sort of distant smile that doesn't really have any happiness to it] It's an easy mistake. Everyone does it now... but, I guess, that's because of...

[obsidianmotion]

Go on.

[choushindou]

[glances over at his wig that's still on the ground] I'm "dead," after all.

[obsidianmotion]

So now you will hide behind that?

[choushindou]

As long as he needs me to, sure. There isn't anything else. There's no more Luke fon Fabre, and everyone's happy with that. Once we're done, once everyone's safe... that'll be the end of me. That's enough. And until then, I'll be Asch's eyes, half a world away.

[obsidianmotion]

I am doubtful as to everyone being happy about Luke fon Fabre being dead. There should be one person who cares not for the mistakes you have made. You find even less worth in yourself than the other replicas that reside in this hell hole. Disgusting.

[shakes his head slightly]

[obsidianmotion]

If you make her suffer, you truly do deserve to die.

[choushindou]

Nobody wants a fake son. Some... stupid replacement. She'll have her real son back.

[obsidianmotion]

Hmph. [ Shoves him aside and steps over his wig. ] You had best hope you are correct.

[choushindou]

...

[closes his eyes] I wonder why he saved me, though. Even if being in two places at once is convenient, that still doesn't...

[obsidianmotion]

You will have to ask him that yourself. Just as you are not my replica, I am not him.

[choushindou]

I know that. It's just... it makes no sense, still. It would've been easier for him if he just let Guy kill me. [and there's that creepy, no-happiness-at-all, doesn't-come-close-to-reaching-his-eyes smile again] Killed by the only person I thought was my friend...

[obsidianmotion]

[ And this as close to pity Asch will likely ever have for a random replica. ] There is a reason for everything, even if it one we are not happy with.

[choushindou]

Hm... I guess so. [if you look, his smile kind of falters, and it's a little more obvious that he's forcing it]

[obsidianmotion]

...lying has never suited you, replica.

[choushindou]

Huh?

[obsidianmotion]

Smiling when you do not feel the emotion behind it.
