late father's day.

[argents]

To my only desire...

I know. I know that! I thought he was just being selfish, but that doesn't mean I didn't...

I didn't even know anything until then.

Links, what're you talkin' about?

[He knows you cos' mun plays Dynasty Warrior Gundam.]

[argents]

[ mun also plays dynasty warriors gundam! ]

Duo Maxwell, right?

...I'm talking about my father. I was thinking that it feels like such a long time ago that I was wondering where he was. Myself, too.

[stillshinigami]

Heh. You got it.

Far as where you are, even I don't have an answer for that. Been asking myself the same question for a while now.

Got any idea about your dad at all?

[argents]

You have? [ being a teenager is hard. being a gundam pilot is hard. ] Mm. He died on the day I first decided to pilot the Unicorn.

[stillshinigami]

[being an au is hard too. Rocks fall and shit happens, man.]

Well, sorta. I don't really understand what you mean either.

Hnn. My condolences. That's not easy.

[argents]

[ just the idea of rocks falling makes him fussy, that's for sure. enough to get up in full frontal's face about it. ]

Oh, sorry. It's just... did it ever feel like nothing in your life ever matched up? Like no matter what you were doing, things just refused to fall into place?

It was like that for me, for as long as I could remember.

[stillshinigami]

[Ooof. All of the sympathy, Links. To have to deal with that lunatic.]

Actually, that's pretty much been my life for the last three years. So yeah. I get that.

[argents]

[ just a bonus of being the next UC gundam pilot. dealing with char aznable reincarnate. ]

I didn't know what to do about it, so I just went along with it. Like I'd been looking in at my own life the whole time as if it was somebody else.

That all changed suddenly when I met Audrey. The same day I found out about my father. Where he was, and why.

[stillshinigami]

[Everyone has to deal with those. Zechs counts.]

Hm. Sounds rough, man. Especially with all that uncertainty. I didn't even know my father. I don't know either of my parents. [So what's to celebrate? Although he does know his mun has OC's for both his parents, he just doesn't get to acknowledge them.]

[argents]

[ true this. masked blond nutjobs in overpowered MS. though the likelihood of frontal actually being char is high. ]

Like I said, I just thought he was being selfish.

...Do you want to meet them? Your parents.

[stillshinigami]

[Are you serious? Would Char really take that name or wear his hair in that way? Oh man.]

Coulda been.

...Maybe? I guess if they were alive I'd wanna know.

[argents]

[ his answer to ARE YOU CHAR was just bs enough for him to seriously consider it. ...but that hair. ]

I see. Um, I'm sorry. If that was a weird question.

For me, it was because I didn't think he was giving me a choice, to pilot the Unicorn or not. At the time I thought it was just a weapon. Something that would keep causing people to kill or be killed.

[stillshinigami]

[I just keep having these creeper feels with him.]

Kinda, but no worries.

That's kinda the choice us gundam pilot have to make. In the best case scenario we can inspire people to fight for the right things, in the worst we just get more people killed.

[argents]

[ a well-mannered creeper, but a creeper all the same. CHAR'S LEGACY. ]

I didn't want to just accept it like that! I don't think like a soldier because I'm not a soldier. A soldier isn't what the Unicorn needs, either. It's just a responsibility I have to the people who don't think they get a choice.

But with every Gundam pilot I meet, I get that it's different.

[stillshinigami]

You know? It's probably for the best that you're not a soldier. Either way, you sound like you're a good man for the job, though.

Yeah? That's because our histories are so different from one another.

Have you met Scirocco? Or Setsuna? The Dylandys? Hell, Amuro Ray. Everyon's got a different story.

[argents]

[ He does look a little more spirited at that. ]

I didn't have the resolve to choose to be a soldier. I don't care about people calling themselves my friends or my enemies, I just wanted to help Audrey. The Unicorn has been showing me the rest of the way.

Amuro Ray... The White Devil. I know about him, the Federation's ace pilot. But I've never met him, he was supposedly KIA in 0093.

It's amazing. I wonder if I'll get to here. Along with the rest of the pilots Captain Bright was talking about.

[stillshinigami]

I can't argue with that motivation. [Plus the unicorn is fuckin' awesome.] You and Audrey real close then?

Heh. I've never met him but just heard about him through my mun. As for the rest of the pilots I've only heard rumors about.

I met a guy named Domon a while back though.
