I wouldn't know. I don't eat such things.

Is that so? Are you worshipped here?

[cartridgerefill]

Ah, you would be right. There's very little for me to hide, after all.

My true face, I'm afraid, no longer exists as it originally did. The face under this helmet once belonged to one of my associates, but he willingly gave up his body for me. The Umbra Hands have a sense of loyalty like no other.

My identity most closely aligns with this helmet. It adapts my voice over the original body. When I am seen with this, all know it is me. For me, the mask is more my true face than the body I inhabit. Funny to say that, isn't it?

Does this alleviate some curiosity?

i am so not going to go over the war of roses wiki for meme tag.........

Alas, he wasn't the only one. Lancasters also shared a strong claim on the throne.

One such as my father's. To challenge fate and to take down a false king.

I didn't think you'd have any interest in the affairs of monarchy.

[aonibi]

I was not a child, I was-- I am a project. [ so he was extremely expensive. ]

I.. suppose.. [ probably not. it's all still so much to try to learn. ]

You seem very successful even here.

[nightwild]

"Fights crime", huh? Fuck him, then.

[wow.]

.... It's complicated. But she's the reason I was trying to destroy the world.

[traumaticus]

How I feel towards you has nothing to do with your father.

[melnik]

Precisely. You understand me. Sometimes it's the only comfort a man has when the world is in shambles.

[sinningtree]

[what.]

I'm sorry... Would you care to explain what it is, exactly, you're asking?

[nilhilistic]

What do you eat then?

Not here. But on plenty of worlds, certainly.

[melnik]

Why do you want to know that?

yes, yes you are

[conflictresolution]

So Edward the Third was a prolific sire to many similar bloodlines? Did he have a harem then?

As long as one is challenging their fate, their cause is righteous.

I don't.

[He has interest in you, Richard. Don't make him explain that.]

[mightymorphin]

I don't know who to blame for it, but I know how messed up it is.

[traumaticus]

Both body and mind will go dull and lazy if not applied properly. Just like sword will rust and lose its sharp edges if not used.

I understand you.

[skelters]

Uh ... I don't mean to be? Sorry?

[ there he goes again ... but he does mean it! he is sorry!!! ]

[southernchere]

It's just a cryin' shame that a handsome fella ain't got a lady or another fella to link their arms around with.

That's all, Sugah. Take it as a compliment.

[aonibi]

[ a long, silent pause, blank-faced unless you really know what to look for.. but the cogs are definitely whirring along behind his eyes.

at last, very carefully: ] Do you.. think that you.. [ he trails off, not really certain he should even ask. would it be better for both of them if they never address it? surely vincent would have said something by now if he thought--

he shouldn't ask. instead, he shifts gears. ] Are you.. deliberately hiding anything from me?

[conflictresolution]

You are a child and a project. You're allowed to be both.

Just wait until someone insists you choose a date to claim as your own birth. I assume that will come for you.

My survival tactics early in life were successful then.

[melnik]

It happened gradually. It was not long after Anna was born that we had to flee into the metro... I spent all of my time consumed with a plan to rebuild. People were at each others' throats. Many took advantage of the chaos to try to push their own political agendas. I wanted to protect them. To keep them safe.

She could not take the stress of raising our daughter by herself.

[aonibi]

I think that.. it's something like that, yes. I was designed for war. What else is there?

[nuraridouman]

[He can't just tell Morph what the real problem is, he just can't. They lack the cultural context to even just begin scratching on the tip of the iceberg that is understanding what being Douman Ashiya in Japan is. Hells, there isn't even any usable comparison to make from their own culture that Douman can think of!]

Spare me the platitudes. Look, I's not saying that I'm ugly -- somebody once even called me a hunk, though I had to look up what that means -- but I'm also not... Look, would any sane person of your world date that Magneto of yours??

[That's not even close to comparing well, but hell, maybe if he can wing it from them considering that idea absurd to something that could remotely relate to the him-]

[conflictresolution]

Fortunately so. I assume the bonds of brotherhood and sisterhood also work as I've read many militaries foster.

[melnik]

[ Well. He could continue to protest, but this conversation will sooner drop if he accepts it there. ]

Alright... thank you.

[conflictresolution]

I think I understand. That sounds like a significant life change with many stressors. Bonds can wear and break in such times.

When did you take over raising your daughter?

[aonibi]

I.. don't know anything about that. [ he's not supposed to be like other people, and if other people were children, then he.. wasn't?

he also doesn't understand the utility of choosing one's own birthday, but he's learned a surprising amount about birthdays generally since his arrival here, so maybe that will come with time, too. ]

Such as surrounding yourself with the correct people for specific purposes?

[nilhilistic]

I didn't ask for an apology.

I asked why.
