[Aah... closes his eyes and sighs, a slight smile on his face too.]

You can tell him whatever you want, the me of the past is way too hardheaded and stubborn to understand these things. Sure... I want some things to change, but not everything.

[He's going to get started on that letter to his past self as soon as she leaves, yep.]

No, but I can treat him differently. That's what's going to change things, whether he believes anything I say or not.

[ Is fully intent on changing the future now. ]

You'll still end up with your psychotic love of a woman who ruined your life and you'll probably still blame yourself, I can change that. But if you hadn't gotten access to the community during this virus, you'd still be screaming at people and acting like a beetle crawled up your ass, got stuck, and died. You've only had access for a few days and it already changed everything. You may be similar, but you'll never be the same person. Ever.

[Looking up at her now, still having that amused smirk on his face.]

Yeah, the community helped calm me down a bit. But when you were off having that virus, my game was progressing a bit. I... realized that Beato's not going to come back as she was, so it's almost like this one is like her daughter. If I think of it like that, I can talk with her without being so angry now at least.

True true... I'll never be the same... are you saying you don't like the current me?

I don't dislike the current you, but you're not really more than a stranger I know some things about.

A stranger with a really cool cape right?

The coolest cape you could find on the discount rack at JUSCO, I'm sure.

Gaahh.... figured as much.

[Okay okay, Battler moves to sit up, and then looks back at her.]

...How are you feeling now?

Roughly the same as before, you? Still sore or should I throw you again for good measure?

If it'll make you feel better, you can throw me around all you like.

...

...That's something that will never change with me, you know. I guarantee that no matter which version of me you're talking to, all of them will just want to cheer you up. Pretty annoying, huh?

I don't think annoying is the right word, but you seem allergic to using the right one now that you're acting all grown up.

I wouldn't say I'm grown up, still the same age and everything... just a bit more mature.

And what would the right word be?

You're mentally at least 55. I think you already know what word you used to be so familiar with, though. [ Yuri stands up and goes to sit on her bed, crossing one leg over the other and leaning back to support herself with her palms. She'd been in her room when Battler had popped over. ]

Aah... you couldn't be referring to 'useless' now, could you?

[Lala Battler just stands up, and when he turns to look at her he crosses his arms. Big bad gamemaster and all.]

Aha, he finally guessed it!

[ Yuri laughs a little bit, then flops back down on her bed, staring up at the ceiling. ]

[Sighs.]

Right right, well nothing as been useless for me for a while here.

....I don't think I've mentioned that phrase since the fourth game, actually.

Guess you're back to that square then!

Heh- guess so.

[SILENCE.... NOT REALLY KNOWING WHAT ELSE TO TALK ABOUT... 8|]

[ She sits up, eying him. ]

Anyway, you've probably got a lot of things to do back in your world right?

[Shrugs.]

Nothing too important. [ALL LIES.] I'll stay if you want me to though.

I've been trying to get rid of you since you got here, I'm not going to change my mind. Trust me, there's nothing to do here. Nothing you can be involved in at least.

Is that so....

[Smiles sadly... baww...] I'm going to miss these little talks, you know. Since I know the me you're talking to right now won't be around again.

In other words, you're telling me I should be nicer to you since you don't have long to exist?

Shit, you always did have a way with words.

I guess...you could say that.... aahh... but I won't remember it anyways.

Maybe you can help me decide something then.

I want to destroy the community for screwing with me the way that it did. I know a lot of people have good things coming from it, but I... agree with Scratch, a little. Or at least, what he apparently wants to use me for according to his virus-initiated counterpart.

[ Yuri crosses her arms, standing up and wandering over to the desk and leaning against it now, facing Battler. ] At the same time, I would've been pretty damn bored for a while if I didn't have access and I don't regret meeting some of the people on here.

And to top it all off, I want to help make sure that the Battler I have to deal with regularly doesn't end up a grumpy, butthurt, friend-hurting jerk who spontaneously worldhops everywhere because he's a spoiled brat who figures the world revolves around him and it's okay to do it without permission. Even if it means figuring out how to save Beatrice in order to do that, but I'm pretty sure that would mean doing the exact opposite of what Scratch wants, since that would screw with the way things are supposed to be and he's trying to stick to being omniscient.

You've got five minutes to give me advice that I may or may not choose to follow.

Destroy the community....huh?

[Heh, Battler smiles at that, obviously amused by that kind of thing.]

I understand that you're rebelling against God for what happened to you during your lifetime... [He places one of his hands in his pockets.] But don't be stupid, Yuri. You can't destroy the community, it's merely existing, it doesn't have a definite way to be killed if you will. Who knows how it even came about, but if it's powerful enough to control freewill, you're not capable of destroying it. However, I believe that you'll be able to indeed rebel against it. I don't doubt your abilities, nor the abilities of anyone else on the community...

Perhaps using red is cheating, but it's definitely a way to show you that ruining it completely is a wasted effort. But like I said.... maybe there's a way to not follow what it wants us to do.

[Aah... he shrugs.] I don't have a grudge against it though, I'm glad I met the people I have there. ....And come on, those insults are a little harsh. I've gotten a bit better, haven't I?
