Possibly towerofanimus

[decompose]

You're not going to listen to me, are you? A tower full of horrors... What kind of sense does that make?

I'd... rather not have to fight anything, or anyone. Let alone watch others suffer. What do you get out of torture? What's so interesting about putting that much pressure on someone's mind?

If you wanted amusement, there are other ways.

You have no idea how tempted I was to use my Yuriev journal to answer this

[namedforcat]

I'm afraid you have little choice if your muns mind is made up.

hnnnnnnngh want i haven't had a chance to play against Yuriev

[decompose]

Perhaps. I was hoping for some dissuasion. Or compromise.

Well, I'll just tag with him anyways then.

[namedforcat]

If only. It's not so bad though, sometimes they will do nice things for you.

[He is trying to be reassuring. If anything, it's better then what their life is like at home most of the time.]

/;v;/ so excite!

[decompose]

[Except Nigredo has already been through the Miltian Conflict. It's better, yes. And it is a measure of reassurance. But...]

There are some things I don't want to relive. You of all people would know. [Considering they're the same person.]

[namedforcat]

[He doesn't want to tell bitty!him that things get worse.]

I know, trust me I know. But hopefully you'll make some friends that can help you.

[decompose]

[Since when has anything been easy, anyways, Gaignun?]

Maybe. If anything... [If anything:] I can protect someone, even if Rubedo can't be with me...

[namedforcat]

[Since never. Being a URTV is suffering.]

I'm glad you think that way. Keep going like that, one step in front of the other. Best way to keep yourself out of trouble.

[decompose]

...it's odd, having myself tell me that.

While it probably doesn't change anything about that tower, thanks.

[namedforcat]

No odder then having to tell yourself that out loud, and not in a mirror. And you're welcome.

[Daddy is not impressed]

Well now, I see your little rebellious streak has continued.

[decompose]

[Of course Daddy isn't. And neither is Nigredo.]

It's not rebellion. [He's not rebelling. Nigredo isn't his brothers. He's just not interested in violence.]

[lazarus_parasite]

Perhaps not outright, but once you get into the habit of back-talking you seem to never get out of it.

However, I can not be too angry, the more trouble you cause your mun, the less trouble you will be causing for me.

[decompose]

I don't have to listen to you, anymore. I'm not a bother, and my opinions aren't back-talking.

[It's still unnerving. He's not used to this, not used to going against Dmitri. Some part of him will always be afraid of the consequences, or, rather, the rejection. But this man was no father to him.]

[lazarus_parasite]

Why couldn't you have stayed the quiet one, I ask you. Ah, as to that tiny little blip you made in my plans...[He's using your older body there Nigredo, you end up listening to him a lot more closely.]

You will do what you are supposed to, never mind your opinions.

[decompose]

[You're dastardly, Dmitri.] Why are you like this?

[Nigredo has never before quite had the gall to ask, before. Now, it's as if he can't stop himself. He has to stand his ground. He can't lose this, whatever "this" is. (He almost feels like he's trying to a prove a point to himself more than anyone else.) Nigedro will not shrink away. Will. Not.]

Why are you hurtful? Does that amuse you, too?

[lazarus_parasite]

Amusement has nothing to do with it. All is done for the sake of efficient and getting what I want. If kindness gets it done better, then that is the route that I take, if not well, I flow to the occasion. You learn do this when you get to be my age.
