hellrisen02: (What did you think when you lost another)

[personal profile] hellrisen02 2017-11-20 12:42 am (UTC)(link)
Don't we all

[A great many things- sheesh, didn't he know it?]

But that's who you are. The things that sculpt us might have been unpleasant, but I wouldn't rather be anyone else. And there are things about me that I wouldn't ever want to forget, even if it's because of something terrible.

[Compassion, kindness, sympathy- without the pain he'd experienced, where would he be? He doesn't know, and he doesn't really want to.]

I'm me, you're you. That guy could have been you, but he's not. That's all there is to it. It's a good philosophy to have in a place where alternate versions of yourself could show up, don't you think?
hellrisen02: (Live your life)

[Voice]

[Duo sighs. He gets the sense that talking isn't really helping, here...]

[Well. Maybe that's it, isn't it? So he switches voice on.]


When I can hear you sulking over text, I know it's real bad.

Look, possibilities are great and all that, but the connections we make with others... Those wouldn't be possible if we weren't ourselves. We might be shit, but shouldn't you give the people that've chosen to stick by you for who you are a little more credit?
hellrisen02: (I used to wonder why did you bother)

[personal profile] hellrisen02 2017-11-20 01:23 am (UTC)(link)
You don't gotta.

[His voice goes just a little gentler, puffing out a quiet sigh.] If you spend all your time agonizing over what people see in ya, you're never gonna have the time to appreciate their company for what it is.

[Protecting people from yourself, from what you were- yeah, he knew plenty about that. And he knew plenty about regretting it.]

Don't get so wrapped up in yourself.
hellrisen02: (Filled with joy and wonder)

[personal profile] hellrisen02 2017-11-20 01:29 am (UTC)(link)
[There's a vaguely bitter laugh at that, mostly deflated.]

What's that supposed to mean? I give you all sorts of bullshit advice.
hellrisen02: (What did you think when you lost another)

[personal profile] hellrisen02 2017-11-20 01:44 am (UTC)(link)
I won't, but nice try!

I'm a nosy busybody. I concern myself with everyone's relationships. But 'specially my pals'. Like you.

[Duo just rolls his eyes to himself. Yeah, they'd gone over this before, but... One little chat never made those feelings just go away, Duo knew that. Reassurances were good things to have.]
hellrisen02: (Blind to the other)

[personal profile] hellrisen02 2017-11-20 02:12 am (UTC)(link)
You're a real piece of work. [Snort] Yeah, kid. You're a buddy of mine- and I always look out for my buddies.

I won't ask the same of you, if that's not your thing. Don't worry.
hellrisen02: (Would you care if you lost the other?)

[personal profile] hellrisen02 2017-11-20 02:24 am (UTC)(link)
Sheesh.

Well, now ya do. So, whatcha gonna do about it?
hellrisen02: (Blind to the other)

[personal profile] hellrisen02 2017-11-20 03:02 am (UTC)(link)
[Pause]

Yanno what, don't worry about it.

--Actually, there's one thing you could do for me: don't worry about why you're my friend.

Think you can do that?
hellrisen02: (Readying to bury your father and mother)

[personal profile] hellrisen02 2017-11-20 03:29 am (UTC)(link)
Great!

Well... if you got the uh, technical parts of the situation under control, I guess that's all that's left, yeah?

Lemme know if you need any help with that whole thing.

[Thankfully, Duo was only minimally affected by this whole shebang- well.... insofar as your own kid forgetting who you are is 'minimal'.... But nothing to clean up was good enough as any craziness in these Porter worlds.]
hellrisen02: (What did you think when you lost another)

[personal profile] hellrisen02 2017-11-20 04:39 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, I'm peachy! For once, I didn't get hit with this bullshit.

Feels kinda nice, not being the guy with his wits lost, for once.

Ahh, well, 'course plenty of others I know besides you were affected. But that's not a big deal.
hellrisen02: (Live your life)

well he only saw OTHER people's memories...

[personal profile] hellrisen02 2017-11-20 07:50 pm (UTC)(link)
I tell ya, buddy, in the City? It was a new bit of this bullshit every week.

Non-stop. This place has been loads easier on that side of things.
hellrisen02: (I always knew this altogether thunder)

[personal profile] hellrisen02 2017-11-20 08:13 pm (UTC)(link)
No. You really can't.

[There's something edging his voice, something slightly... deranged.]

When people from the City speak of complete chaos, they ain't kiddin'.
