Voice testing this grouchy clone

[darkened]

Oh, ha ha. You must think you're real funny. You really think that this'll work? Don't try and hide it, mun. I know who your favorite is. Why don't you save us both some trouble and go back to throwing the Real Thing around? Let him hog all the limelight like he always does. Not like it'd be anything new.

Besides, a "Chosen Child"? In case you forgot, I'm the imitation. And what makes you think I want to let some monster do all the fighting while I stand around like an idiot? If I'm gonna fight, I'm gonna do it the way I always have. No monsters, no magic crests or whatever. I'll stick with darkness, thanks.

What's that? You mean to tell me I'd lose that, too? Well, great. I'm sold. Go ahead and take away the one thing I had going for me besides my promise to Naminé. If you're gonna place me somewhere, can't you at least let me see her again? It'd be... nice, you know? At least then I could apologize for what I did before.

[And protect her... if she'd let him. Would she? For a short moment, the Replica closes his eyes before he shakes his head and sighs. On the upside, there's Sora, even if he's forgotten...]

Guess it's not like I've got a way out of this. Just don't think I'm gonna take this sitting down.

excellent. also, pardon any slowness on my end-- trying to finish up his icons

[darkened]

[...Okay, this is weird. So weird that the Replica has to rub his eyes just to make sure he isn't seeing things.

And then a smirk crosses his lips, and he dismissively waves his hand.]

Hey, who says I won't survive? It's just annoying. I don't want to be some kind of battery for a cutesy pet monster.

[And, okay, maybe it's upsetting because, darn it, at least he actually puts his darkness to good use, unlike Riku.

...and maybe he doesn't want to feel weak. Way to rub salt in an open wound, especially after his defeat.]

Is fine, is fine

[darkyang]

You were the one griping about it. Why would you end up being a battery?

[He is GENUINELY INTERESTED in his younger self's plight. Especially if it involves cute monsters.]

[darkened]

Because all I'm supposed to do is sit around, make the monster evolve, and try not to get killed.

[And, okay, having a giant, rampaging monster could be cool, but he's too frustrated to admit that.]

[darkyang]

...That sounds really boring.

[Great minds think alike, he thinks that sounds cool too.]

Can you spar with the monsters? Or make them fight other monsters, at least? Or do they do anything at all?

[darkened]

I think the whole idea's to sic them on bigger, stronger monsters in order to save the world. Honestly, it sounds more like Sora's kind of thing.

[He shrugs.]

Can't really call myself a hero.
