Ten years.

None of this shit's changed in ten years. None of it ever will: you can count on that. There'll be other Masters and other Syndicates, more Smiths and more Sumio Mondos-- and those wars are gonna go on even when I'm out of the picture altogether.

What do you think that Christel woman was doing all that time, huh?

May the Lord smile, mundane.

Hey, at least you didn't get a gritty dubstep reboot.

[dissociative]

[pls]

Ain't like I was expecting to. We have a bit of a difference in genre.

[weaselshot]

I'm just saying, do you want to be remembered for greatness or get mired in that shit?

[dissociative]

Frankly, I doubt I'm very high on the list of Suda-san's priorities in the first place. That kind of arrangement hasn't ever crossed my mind.

[furere]

Ever age needs its killers. So what if things don't change? It's all about the moment, Garcie.

[dissociative]

I should've expected you to say something like that. I almost miss having you in my head. [yeah, no he doesn't.]

[furere]

No, you don't. I don't fucking miss being there. You don't drink enough.

[dissociative]

'Least I let you out more than the Master does.

[furere]

That's true. You ever gonna stop calling him that? Like you said, there's always gonna be others. Nothing makes him special.

[RUDE tbh.

garcian doesn't flinch, per se, but there's a tightening of his features and a distinct furrow of his brow.] Harman, then.

It might've been ten years for the ones playing the game, but by my own count it's been half that long since I stopped being a Smith.

Besides, old habits and old dogs die hard. You might know that one, too.

[furere]

[rude is dan's middle name] True. Not everything's as easy to kill as a Smile.

For me, though? 10 years, 10 seconds, doesn't matter. Harman's always just been a steeping stone. But I guess a loyal dog like you needs a lot of time to adjust.

[killerisdead]

You must be fun to hang out with in the bar.

[dissociative]

I don't drink much.

[oh he's a total riot.]

I take it you're the latest model?

[killerisdead]

Even down to the Sumio Mondo soundalike name.

[hypersonics]

Hell yeah! Word to that shit!
