[Accidental Voice]

[dissonates]

[There's two voices- one is obviously Asch, and the other is too muffled to hear.]

-ing out to investigate. I told Natalia to stay inside; you should do the same.

[A pause.]

...I am not sick. I already rested enough.

[Pause.]

I'm not a kid, so stop acting like my mother.

[...]

Wh- you are not "as good as she is", shut up!

[Pause.]

Goddammit, Guy.

[dissonates]

[In very, very simple terms, yes.]

Fine then, you saw it. Now you can die happy.

[prismshards]

[ This is a very, very simple replica after all. ]

You're a bit late for that.

[dissonates]

[Simplistically complicated, then?

Also: oops.]

You're alive now, aren't you? Don't complain.

[prismshards]

[ That sounds appropriate enough for this pair of redheads. ]

Are we alive? Maybe this is some kind of weird afterlife we'll be stuck in for all eternity.

[dissonates]

[Awesome.]

This isn't an afterlife. It's just a different world.

[prismshards]

[ Forgive your replica while he spazzes. ]

That can't be possible. I died! You died! Unless people can come back to life, which would mean having to face Van and the other God-Generals all over again!

[dissonates]

[Sigh. He hates dealing with newcomers.]

There's something screwed up about this place. They can bring the dead back to life here. It probably has something to do with the wings.

[prismshards]

[ We thought Asch hated dealing with everyone. ]

And if we're dead and that would mean something happened to Guy after Eldrant and we-w-wings...? What wings?

[ Nope, he hasn't noticed them yet. ]

[dissonates]

[Well, true. But he has different levels of hate.]

We're not dead. Would you just listen for once?

[He probably hasn't noticed them because Asch keeps them hidden |Db But since Luke isn't going to get it until he sees them, Asch just goes ahead and pulls off his tabard, revealing the little silver wings he got when he arrived.]

[prismshards]

[ Only you, dear original. Only you. But Asch is such a smart cookie for keeping his adorable little wingsies covered up, as Luke lets out a surprised noise a pets one. S-soft. ]

Wow...! You really do have wings...

[dissonates]

[Considering if he loses them, he dies, it's self-preservation more than anything. The wing shivers a bit at being touched- it's unusual for someone to poke at them.]

Everyone here does, usually. What I don't understand is why you don't have any.

[prismshards]

[ Holy hell in a handbasket-- It moves too! He's being extra careful in examining his original's new appendages, smoothing the feathers down after accidentally ruffling them. ]

Maybe it's because I'm a replica and made up of seventh fonons. How in the world did you get them..?

[dissonates]

[He'd try to hover with them to show them off but that takes effort. And is kind of pointless, fff. He's watching Luke carefully; he would protest the poking but at least it isn't more hugging.]

I don't know, I woke up with them. And that's wrong- there have been replicas here before with wings.

[Not sure if he should be mentioning that this Luke is the second of his replica to arrive in Luceti.]

[prismshards]

[ The wings remind him a good deal of the birds that he'd been familiar with around the manor, and being an extension of Asch just makes petting them that much more enjoyable. ]

Oh. Well-- wait, other replicas? H-have you seen Ion? Is he here too?

[ If he's not up for a demonstration of his hovering capabilities, then trying to explain there's another Luke here would take ages. ]

[dissonates]

[If the petting didn't actually feel good Asch probably wouldn't be tolerating it at all. But it seems to have a positive effect on his mood. TAKE NOTES, LUKE.]

Not Ion. Florian was here, though. And Sync.

[Thus why he's avoiding the subject completely.]

[prismshards]

[ He will! After getting over the disappointment of hearing the other two Fon Master's replicas were here but not Ion. It's a rather harsh blow, one that he tries to hide by focusing all his attention on cradling Asch's wings in his hands. ]

No.. No, I suppose he wouldn't be here... It was a stupid question.

[dissonates]

[You're taking advantage of this situation, aren't you.]

It wasn't a stupid question. Anyone can be brought here, whether they're alive or dead. Even Guy's sister was here for a little while.

[prismshards]

[ Who? Innocent little Luke, take advantage of anything or anyone? You must be imagining things! ]

But his sister has been dead for longer than I've been alive, hasn't she? Did someone replicate her again?

[dissonates]

[Imagine Asch as a cat, because he'd be purring right now. Damn you.]

It wasn't a replica. They can take people from different times, too- Guy's from two years after Eldrant.

[prismshards]

[ Good thing Tear isn't here right now or they'd be double-teaming him for being so damn cute. Must. Not. Hug. Original. ]

So they must have taken her from before the Hod War. Man, this is confusing. Guy can't catch a break and yet he's the one who never lets me down. How messed up is that?

[dissonates]

[Yeah, hugging is a no-go. Cat's got claws.

He shifts a bit uncomfortably at that one. When does Guy ever let anyone down?]

He doesn't remember her being here, so don't mention it to him.

[prismshards]

[ Just keep in mind the replica has your wings in his hands, mister. ]

Believe me, I know better than to mention his family without him doing so first.

[ Luke blinks at the change in position; he can read his original's body language enough to see something he had said struck a chord. ]

[dissonates]

[Is that a threat. B|]

...It's not like he'd get angry.

[But still. Don't hurt Guy. It's practically ingrained in him now.]

[prismshards]

[ A friendly reminder from your neighborhood mirror image. 8> ]

No, but it's not something he likes to talk about.

[ Aw, you really are a sweetheart deep down, Asch. ]

[dissonates]

[You just wait until he escapes your manipulative petting.]

...Hm.

[Asch shakes his head, but seems reluctant to say more. The topic of Guy is awkward for him.]
