[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.

[ 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!

[prismshards]

[ KEEPS IT UP HIS ASS And he's never smothered Asch yet! Just wait until Luke tells everyone Asch pinned him to the wall and took his breath away. ]

Move first!

[ Otherwise he's just going to cling for dear replicated life. ]

[dissonates]

[NOOOOOO There will be some blood spilled that day, for sure. Asch adds some pressure in the meantime.]

No!

[prismshards]

[ SOMEBODY ELSE'S ASS? It'd be completely innocent on Luke's part. He coughs, most likely onto Asch's neck. ]

Off!

[dissonates]

[WHY DOES IT HAVE TO INVOLVE ASSES Ewww, gross. Asch jerks away from the wall, grabbing Luke's arms and yanking them off himself in the hopes that he'll just drop right off.]

That's disgusting!

[prismshards]

[ HE SURE IS A PAIN IN LUKE'S. AND HIS NAME IS ASS Which Luke does, falling back into the wall and still coughing from having the air pressed out of him. ]

S-sorry...

[dissonates]

[HIS NAME IS ASCH GET IT RIGHT DRECK Asch huffs quietly for a moment, then glances over his shoulder, torn between annoyance and... well, something else rather difficult to read.]

...Why didn't you just let go?

[prismshards]

[ ASCHLEY~ He makes a feeble gesture with a hand, the other acting as a support while he climbs back to his feet. It's surprising that he didn't get nailed for that stunt. ]

Couldn't. My arms were stuck...

[dissonates]

[IT WOULD BE LUKE IF SOMEONE HADN'T STOLEN IT Luke already getting hurt is enough punishment for now, so he steps back as he gets up.]

Then you should have said so.

[prismshards]

[ IT WAS GIVEN TO HIM, FOREHEAD DRECK After brushing off his clothes and straightening himself out, Luke offers him a lopsided grin. ]

Didn't think of that.

[dissonates]

[STOLEN. STOOOOOLEEEEEEEN Asch scoffs and looks away.]

I think you know my response to that.

[prismshards]

[ BY A NEWBORN. DOESN'T HE FEEL LAME Luke comes over, giving Asch a pat on the back. ]

You try to think straight with someone mashing your lungs into oblivion.

[dissonates]

[NO, JUST PISSED Asch bats his hand away.]

I thought just fine with three swords in my body. Think about that.

[prismshards]

[ LIKE USUAL That's enough to make Luke pause and frown at his original. ]

You're also a soldier who's been through more than I have.

[dissonates]

[IT'S A COMFORTABLE EMOTIONAL STATE Asch shrugs.]

Call it training, then.

[prismshards]

[ YOU DON'T LEARN ANYTHING WHEN YOU'RE COMFORTABLE, ASCH Luke will be hovering near him. Will not hug. ]

So it shouldn't surprise you that my mind doesn't work the same way yours does.

[dissonates]

[THAT'S HIS PROBLEM NOT YOURS Asch ignores him as best as he can.]

Are you expecting me to smile and nod or something? What do you want?

[prismshards]

[ YOUR PROBLEMS ARE OURS, DEAR ORIGINAL♥ Which can't be easy, now that he's trying to look him in the face. ]

I..

[ What is he after? ]

Something I'm not sure of yet.

[dissonates]

[WHATEVER HAPPENED TO "I'M NOT YOU" HUH Asch is nothing if not tenacious.]

Leave me alone until you figure it out.

[prismshards]

[ WE'RE NOT YOU BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN WE CAN'T BE CONCERNED Cockroach, meet cockroach. Luke's own tenaciousness knows no bounds. ]

Being with you will help, I just know it.

[dissonates]

[H-HE HAS NO PROBLEMS, STOP WORRYING Luke is rewarded with a glare, as usual.]

That's unbelievably stupid.

[prismshards]

[ IF THAT WAS THE CASE, YOU WOULDN'T HAVE YOUR TIGHTS IN A BUNCH ALL THE TIME He hadn't expected anything less, but it never hurts to hope. ]

Is not! How else am I suppose to figure it out unless I spend time with you?
