[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?]

[choushindou]

Huh?

[obsidianmotion]

Smiling when you do not feel the emotion behind it.

[choushindou]

............

[obsidianmotion]

Being betrayed is a painful thing.

[choushindou]

It's what I deserve.

[obsidianmotion]

If you have resigned yourself to that, then yes, it is.

[choushindou]

...

...

[derp, now he's going to kind of collapse, hugging himself]

[obsidianmotion]

[ Picks up the wig, dropping it on Luke's head as he walks by. ]

[choushindou]

[hugs himself tighter] He really wanted me dead...

[obsidianmotion]

You are lucky your original saved you.

[choushindou]

Why? I...

[obsidianmotion]

Your death would solve nothing and help no one. Talk to the others here, you will see that they were able to make something of their life.

[choushindou]

[shakes his head slightly, curling up tighter] Even if my dying would make a lot of people happy...?

[obsidianmotion]

Their happiness would be short-lived, as it always is. There are many here that would smack some sense into if they heard your words.

[choushindou]

[looks up at him blankly at that, surprised...

...and then slowly closes his eyes, nodding slightly] S-sorry... I'm usually... I'm usually better about this. About not dwelling on it. I don't even know why I'm thinking about it... Asch told me it'd be better if I don't.

[obsidianmotion]

[ What the hell. He's not sure what to make of a replica apologizing to him. The ones he's encountered are usually more interested in telling him how wrong his views are. ] I moped about for far too long before realizing it would get me nowhere. After that revelation, it was then I managed to learn of Van's plans and escape.

[choushindou]

Hm... [starts to get up, only to slip and land on his ass, which makes him wince]

[obsidianmotion]

[ Grabs him roughly by the arms, pulling him to his feet. ] Incompetent fool.

[choushindou]

[winces again, before looking down, a little embarrassed] Sorry...

[obsidianmotion]

Hmph. [ Takes the wig and starts absently brushing it out. ]

[choushindou]

[bites his lip for a moment before taking a step forward, kind of grabbing onto Asch's arm lightly and leaning forward, resting his forehead on his shoulder, shaking very slightly]

[obsidianmotion]

[ The first part involving Luke moving closer had him on guard, but that feeling went straight to bewildered, and possibly enraged at the replica latching onto him without permission. Though he rests a hand on his head for some reason unknown to even him. ]

[choushindou]

[gives a breathless, soundless laugh] You smell different from him... [and then he's silent again for a minute]

...You're... the one who won against Van, aren't you...?

[obsidianmotion]

I should think so. [ Purses his lips at the replica. ]

...I am, if you can call it as much.

[choushindou]

... [frowns, taking a moment to consider how to ask this] Do Asch and I stand a chance, stopping his plans and defeating him? If it comes down to it... if something happens and it ends up being just the two of us... or even if he doesn't lose their trust, just seven of us...

Do we have a chance, or...
