[ If only it were that easy. After a few seconds of shock, Yuri puts both of her hands on his chest and pushes back. ]

Get off!

[NOPE HE'S NOT MOVING! Holds her tighter even.]

It's okay Yuri... I know what it feels like, to have them there but then they're gone yet again.

Stop it, I don't want some kind of weird emotional boning thing! I was apologizing because I yelled at you and made you hurt yourself trying to prove me wrong! That's it!

[ Have a really hard punch to the gut. Not as hard as it could be since she doesn't have distance to build it up, but she's trying. ]

[EVEN THEN, STILL NOT MOVING!]

I've already forgiven you, I'm not mad at you since I knew it was the community's fault. I was just worried that you'd get hurt over this.

Aren't you supposed to be worrying about Beatrice right now?

[....Ouch, Yuri.]

...

.......Beato can wait, I'm worried about you right now.

Well don't!

[Nope nope, just going to stay quiet and keep hugging her 8) ]

[ She's going to worm her arm up to hit him in the face now. She's trying not to start crying and not to kill Battler because he's not already dead and that would be bad if she did so it's difficult to deal with him! ]

I said let go! I'm going to get a weapon out!

[Lalala takes the hit like a champ.]

Then go ahead. When my family was taken from me over and over again, I felt like taking my anger out in a similar manner too. If you think that'll help, be my guest.

I've cried countless times since that first experience, I'm just saying you don't need to hold back. I'm here for you right now.

I can't hurt you! You're alive! [ Despite her words, she delivers a swift kick to his shin, hard enough to make a grown man limp.

She stops after that though and just looks down, though keeps her forearms against his chest, fighting the hug, then saying firmly. ]

I don't need to cry.

[Gagh...! Th..this girl...! Okay, he recovered from that- and tried to pull her against him again. Stop fighting this hug Yuri!]

....Of course you don't, you're strong- something like this shouldn't have you so upset.

But...you are upset, so it's alright to let it all out. That's what I'm here for, you know? To listen.

No, you're here because that damn community decided to screw with you in a different way that really only messes things up for me even more. You shouldn't be here and I shouldn't know you. You said it yourself right? You haven't even seen me since the third game.

[ She takes a shallow breath and tries to shove him away again. ] You're-- only as real as they were, so disappear already!

Edited 2011-11-24 04:12 (UTC)

No... that community may have screwed with me, but I worldhopped over here because I was worried about you. I'm here because I want to be.

I'm real, I may not remember this conversation later on but- for now, I'm here for you.

Having some kind of paradise like that... even if I wanted it and stayed there, I would've known something was wrong. Part of me did, that's why I got so mad at you, because I was terrified it wasn't real. That was someone else's life though. I only had one chance to live and I only ever will have one. There's no way to get rid of it or destroy it, and I have to accept this life that I have. This life is the entire reason I fight, because that's the kind of life I had to live and it's the kind of life I will always have to have lived. Taking that away from me is taking the only thing I have left, and this damn community did it like it was some kind of game!

You're just a piece of that same game. You'll disappear, and I'll be the only one who will remember this conversation because you're not the Battler that will ever exist in any world I have access to. Comfort from someone who doesn't come to exist is the same as that dream of someone else I had because of this virus. So [ She takes on a fierce tone. ] get off.

Edited 2011-11-24 04:32 (UTC)

[Ohoho... he just listens to her, understanding how angry she must be about this whole thing. Even when she tells him to get off, he doesn't move.]

There... that's what I wanted, no holding back, to get that off your chest.

[And he moves away a bit, but still has his arms around her. He's smiling down at her now.] ...I exist. The current me exists, but so does the one that you're more familiar with. In time, that Battler from the past will become what I am now. It's comfort from... someone who will eventually come to exist. So, think of it as a words that you're able to say to me, but will remain a secret for god knows how long.

[ She shakes her head then turns around, putting her hands on his arms, gently, but she's moving her fingers in, toward her so she can have a good grip on a second's notice. ]

He will never be exactly you, because of all the people he knows here. You said that you hadn't seen the community since the third game. That's the proof-- the Battler I know has a future that isn't written yet.

By the way--

[ GRIP GO. AND SHE IS TOTALLY GOING TO FLIP HIM OVER HER AND ONTO THE FLOOR NOW. Because Yuri is a lot stronger than she looks. ]

--When I say let go of me, it's not one of those "my lips say no but my eyes say yes" things. It means let the hell go of me.

[DEAR GOD- FLIPPED?! Crashes to the ground! Now he's just....laying on his back...]

E....hh......eeehhh....?!

[Oh but that was a good toss!]

Wahahaha! Aahh- I didn't think you were that strong to throw a big guy like me to the ground! Funny, no one's tried to stand up to me like that since I became the gamemaster. Yeah yeah, it's really funny! Ihihi!

[he's lost it. He just forgot what it was like to have people stand up to him.]

...Aahh...I can assure you... I've told people not to give that Battler hints, and I'm sure as hell not going to write anything down to assist him. He'll be the same, trust me.

[ She kneels down next to him, hands flattening her skirt so he doesn't get a good view or anything. ]

I think in your old age you forgot how strong I am, even if I don't always believe it myself.

[ She laughs a little bit, then gives him a somewhat cold smile. Oh, Battler. ]

You told me things that will change it. You told me somethings with the intent of having it changed. Also, I might suddenly get really bad at keeping my word not to open my mouth.

[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.]

Edited 2011-11-24 05:09 (UTC)

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?
