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.]

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.

[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.

[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.

[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~

[runs a hand through his hair]

. . .

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

Re: Waking up~

[righthandsmoke.insanejournal.com]

His standards aren't the same as mine. He remembers you, so he's got a bias in your favor already.

Re: Waking up~

[topofthesky.insanejournal.com]

. . . and? I don't care what you think about me.

Re: Waking up~

[righthandsmoke.insanejournal.com]

I don't care.

What the hell makes it so hard for you to balance anyway?

Re: Waking up~

[topofthesky.insanejournal.com]

Shit keeps happening that throws the balance off.

Re: Waking up~

[righthandsmoke.insanejournal.com]

. . .

You really are an idiot. Do you think shit's gonna stop happening any time soon?

Re: Waking up~

[topofthesky.insanejournal.com]

I didn't say it was.

Are we done here? I have something I have to do for Feathers.

Re: Waking up~

[righthandsmoke.insanejournal.com]

. . .

If you walk away now, you can forget me tolerating you being anywhere near my team. I'm not gonna accept a guy like you are right now.

Re: Waking up~

[topofthesky.insanejournal.com]

You wouldn't accept me no matter what, so don't give me that bullshit. You'll just have to wait until I "get over it".
