[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.

[Replica beatdown in 3...]

Learn faster and get the hell off me!

[prismshards]

[ He's not too keen on getting decked again, and so retreats after hugging him just a liiittle tighter for a moment. The twerp seems proud of himself too. ]

Slow and steady wins the race, Asch!

[dissonates]

[Retreat doesn't necessarily make you safe.]

You might as well be going backwards if you keep doing that!

[prismshards]

[ Safer than if he was close by. ]

That's still progress though! Just in the wrong direction.

[dissonates]

[Though at that point he had Asch conveniently restrained. |D]

...That's not what people would normally call "progress".

[prismshards]

[ Asch must not have taken many defensive classes if he doesn't think to bring one of his legs up behind him. |Db ]

If I keep going backwards, I'll eventually get to where I want to be.

[dissonates]

[Oh, there were a number of moves he could have pulled. But none so satisfactory as a good fist to the face.]

Relationships aren't circles, dreck.

[prismshards]

[ Sheesh. He has to have an original that just loves to be violent, doesn't he... ]

I dunno. Sometimes it feels like they are.

[dissonates]

[Just an original who isn't all touchy-feely. :|]

What nonsense are you saying now?

[prismshards]

[ Van obviously sucked it all out of him. :/ ]

Forget it. You wouldn't understand anyways.

[dissonates]

[Daath has a tendency to suck the life out of people. D|

And Asch isn't happy with that answer.]

[prismshards]

[ Damned religious cities. XO

Serves him right for being more prickly than a bloody cactus. Luke will be off sulking now. ]

[dissonates]

[Indeed.

And Asch is just happy to be unbothered for the first time in FOREVER.]

[prismshards]

[ Enjoy it while you can, forehead dreck. Luke gets bored quickly. ]

[dissonates]

[He'd better get bored really quick, because Asch is bailing while he can.]

[prismshards]

[ Hey-- That's so mean of you, Asch! Your replica shows a little appreciation and you make like a chicken and run?! ]

[dissonates]

[Appreciation by saying something weird and then saying he wouldn't get it? B|]

[prismshards]

[ You can't blame him when the usual response to his opinion or feelings is something along the lines of "that's stupid". BP Don't make Luke tackle your sorry ass. ]

[dissonates]

[Asch can totally blame him because it's Asch and blaming the replica is what he does. :| And there's no way in hell that he's cooperating.]

[prismshards]

[ TRUE. Asch has a lifetime pass to abuse his replica. Who decides to risk life, limb, and eardrums by throwing himself onto Asch's back. Piggyback revenge! ]

[dissonates]

[Luke you are quite possibly the dumbest replica ever. Cue Asch staggering forward and smacking right into a wall. |Db]

[prismshards]

[ O-oh bother. THAT WASN'T SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN. Maybe he can just play puppeteer from his original's back and keep him from getting hurt further?? D8 ]

[dissonates]

[OW NOT IN THE FACE. Asch turns and leans back against the wall, supporting himself and squishing Luke at the same time.]

What the hell are you doing!?

[prismshards]

[ YOU DON'T USE IT. GACK! Replica sandwiches are not fun things to be. He flails about from side to side, shoving Asch's shoulders in hopes of getting free. ]

Not-- breathing--!

[dissonates]

[HE USES IT PLENTY Well, in that case, Asch just stays put and gives Luke a taste of his own medicine.]

Let go of me first!
