Who: Hydra, Ikki, Allen, ANY
Where: The Arena
When: Day 98, evening
What: When we last left our intrepid heroes...

[In the arena, there's some decent quality meat burning as a gift to two particular Judges, a comatose member of Hydra and a few guards with torches... and not a whole lot else to explain what's going on.

Well the real interesting part is going on a little deeper anyway.]

And? My name was Raven before I learned what my real name was.

Re: Waking up~

[righthandsmoke.insanejournal.com]

So why are you letting her use it? I thought you'd taken your real name by now.

Re: Waking up~

[topofthesky.insanejournal.com]

I have. But I don't mind if she wants to keep using that. It fits sometimes.

[. . . :|a actually relaxes a little]

So you're not avoiding who you were?

Re: Waking up~

[topofthesky.insanejournal.com]

[eyes that curiously :|a . . . and tenses up a little]

That would depend on what you mean.

Re: Waking up~

[righthandsmoke.insanejournal.com]

What do you think I mean?

Re: Waking up~

[topofthesky.insanejournal.com]

There's "avoiding" and then there's "not being ready".

Re: Waking up~

[frowns again >/]

How many memories have you had?

Re: Waking up~

[topofthesky.insanejournal.com]

Eight.

Re: Waking up~

[righthandsmoke.insanejournal.com]

That's more than enough already.

[shrugs] It's not up to you.

Re: Waking up~

[righthandsmoke.insanejournal.com]

No, but it is my business. If you're supposed to be someone important to Fang and Sparta, you fucking better be good enough. And that means getting fucking ready to be that person.

Re: Waking up~

[just. sighs, looking even more exhausted than he already did]

. . . you wouldn't understand it at all.

Don't tell me what I don't understand.

Re: Waking up~

[topofthesky.insanejournal.com]

[lowering his voice some]

Would you understand? Do you know what it's like being unbalanced between the person you are here and the one you remember? Or what it's like to try to fix the balance when it keeps getting broken?

Re: Waking up~

[righthandsmoke.insanejournal.com]

. . .

I know you're all fucking idiots trying to balance it. Forget that. There's no use in thinking of yourself then and yourself now as different people. They're both you.

Re: Waking up~

[topofthesky.insanejournal.com]

I know that.

Re: Waking up~

[righthandsmoke.insanejournal.com]

Then what the fuck's this whining bullshit about having to balance it?

Re: Waking up~

[topofthesky.insanejournal.com]

Because I don't want to be unbalanced.

Re: Waking up~

[righthandsmoke.insanejournal.com]

Get over it.

Re: Waking up~

[topofthesky.insanejournal.com]

[twitches. Times I Wanted to Punch Scowl: 10]

Haah?

Re: Waking up~

[righthandsmoke.insanejournal.com]

I said: Get. Over. It.

Re: Waking up~

[topofthesky.insanejournal.com]

. . . if it were that easy, I'd get over it a while ago.

Re: Waking up~

[righthandsmoke.insanejournal.com]

I don't give a shit how easy you think it is.

Re: Waking up~

[topofthesky.insanejournal.com]

[runs a hand through his hair]

. . .

Look. If I wasn't good enough or whatever, do you really think Fang would bother with me?
