Muse somehow came back. Voice-testing and homeless forever.

So, mun! It's good to be back!

... yeah, I know it's been a while, but you'll be fine, won't you? You can canon-review if you need to, I don't mind.

[He nods earnestly in emphasis.]

Sure, it's been years, but that can't be-- hey, wait, it's really been several years already?

[He yelps, panicking as that sets in.]

Wait, no--! I can't be an old man already?! That can't be right--! Help! What year is it, mun?!

[NO DON'T PANIC NOW YOU'RE GONNA MAKE ME PANIC]

HOW LONG HAS IT BEEN ALREADY!? MUUUUUN--!!!

[Sheena chuckles before answering.]

Calm down, I doubt you're a old man.

Sheena!

[He calms down a little, looking at her.]

Are you sure? I don't have grey hair or anything, do I?

Nope! We don't age unless our muns want us too.

... oh, good, I was worried.

[Lloyd relaxes, letting out a sigh he didn't know he'd been holding in.]</small. ... anyway, how are you, Sheena? You been okay?

I've been well, bit bored but it hasn't been bad.

That's good... at least your mun lets you out here every so often?

My mun's not sure what to do with me yet...

Very so often, if she or I feel like it.

Most muns aren't sure what they'll do with us, maybe she'll decide soon.

Hopefully she does? And mine, too.

I just hope I go somewhere that's, well... not horrible.

[Yes Lloyd your skills of describing games are special too...]

Please calm down! I'm sure your mun hasn't aged you at all. They do have control over those sort of things...

... really? So I'm not be an old man, then?

[Yeah, he hopes not. That would just suck.]

Right! You're probably still seventeen.

...I just turned seventeen in the game I'm in, though, because my mun has to age me when my birthday passes there. I guess we're the same age now! [Smile.]

Really? Wow... nice! Happy birthday, then!

[A pause as he looks at his mun.]

... though since my mun's trying to decide if I'm from the original or our sequel, I don't know how old I am. It feels weird...

Well, it's almost been a couple of months, but that's still pretty recent... thank you, either way!

Oh, I hope he figures it out soon!

You're welcome! Ah... do I know you?

[Lloyd sighs, shrugging as he places a hand to his forehead.]

Hope so, too. It's not fun sitting here trying to figure out how old I am, for goodness' sake...

Ah, no. I've met other yous, though. [Despite this, he smiles.] But we can know each other. I'm Jeb Parmalee! It's nice to meet you.

Jeb... nice to meet you! I'm Lloyd Irving.

... as you already know.

[He can't help but laugh as he holds out a hand.]

Pleasure to meet you! ... for the first time. Again. I think.

[SO CONFUSED.]

[Shakes it with a small laugh of his own.]

A pleasure to meet you too, for whatever number time it is!

[ALL OF THE GRINNING EVER.]

So, just out of curiosity. How many me's have you met already?

Well, if it isn't the son of Kratos. I was hoping I wouldn't see you here. But I guess I can't have everything.

Mithos...

[Well, at least he knows about what happened to him, at least.]

... sorry to disappoint you. I'm not going away anytime soon, though.

Oh really? Well, we'll see about that, Lloyd. You know wherever you're taken from, you'll never win.

It doesn't mean we'll stop fighting for what I believe, Mithos. You know that, don't you...?

[Does this Mithos know that he's kind of dead by the time the sequel rolls around, because Lloyd does...]

[Sequel? What sequel. That never happened.]

What 'I believe?' As arrogant as ever I see. You know, you're not much different than I am Lloyd. We both want the same thing, why not just work with me instead of against me.

... the methods you use hurt far too many people, Mithos. Do you even realize just how much suffering you've caused in your pursuit of that ideal world we believe in?

So it's we now?

It's a means to an end, that's all. Revolution requires sacrifice. Those lives will bear fruit to a world without discrimination. Isn't that a good thing?

... a world without discrimination is a good thing, Mithos. I won't deny it.

But to say that revolution and sacrifice are the only ways to achieve peace... I don't believe it. Even with noble intentions, all it does is bring sadness and suffering to those that the sacrificed left behind.

All that pain and suffering... all that will lead to is resentment. Hatred. And all that will cause is an endless cycle of revolutions, sacrifices and pain. It won't end.

Then how is it supposed to end?! Are we half elves just supposed to lie down and take what you humans do to us!? No! The only way to end all of this hate is to make everyone the same! For everyone to become lifeless beings!

And sacrifice free will to do so? I refuse to think that's the only way!

Besides, both our races are equally guilty of doing horrible things to each other. Even if we both want to think otherwise.

Isn't that necessary though? To get rid of discrimination we all must become the same.

And no, the half elves are guilty of nothing. It's you humans that caused all the problems. From our kind being hated and feared to killing the giant Kharlan tree.

And again, I won't disagree with you there... you're right. We've done terrible things in the past.

But even if you do succeed, what would it accomplish? Even if everyone were the same discrimination would still exist. It's people's hearts that cause discrimination... not their race.

It doesn't matter what you think, you're doomed to fail.

[Wow good job bro way to miss the whole point of that.]

Even so, I'm not gonna stop fighting for my ideals. You know that.

[Even though he still beats Mithos in the end. With regret, sadly.]

Man, I really can't see how the "canon" me ends up believing in you so much.

Zelos-- wait, canon you?

[Lloyd blinks a few times, frowning as he looks at Zelos closely.]

... what happened?

Let's just say I'm not the one you know, just not the wonderful Chosen I used to be. And I wasn't when we met, either.

But don't you worry your little bumpkin head over me! I'm still my amazing self, even without the title!

Oh... my mun mentioned that. AU, I think it's called?

[Lloyd can't help but stare a bit in exasperation.]

Yeah, you still sound like Zelos all right.

That's right! AU. The title belongs to Seles where I'm from. I'm just amazing, but still very humble mercenary!

[Laughs.]

Oh, do I? I've love to meet the other me sometime, then. Beautiful people need to stick together!

... yeah, you two definitely sound the same. It's kinda comforting, in a way!

[Because a non-womanizing non-laid-back Zelos is just too out there, even for him.]

And I can see you're as loud as ever.

Seles!

... well, yeah, I have to be. Otherwise my mun won't notice that I'm here.

[Yes, Lloyd, I know you're here, plz to be shutting up now...]

It's a bit annoying.

I like the quiet better.

... sorry. I can turn it down?

That's better.

...Although, I did say you didn't have to. I simply said that I would like it if you didn't scream all the time. [Yes this is Seles being nice here]

... thanks.

I'm not like this usually. Really, I'm not.

[Sweatdrop. Oh, Seles...]

[Eyebrow raise]

Really now? Perhaps it would be better to keep it that way.

I know. Dwarven Vow #72: "There's a time to speak, and a time to be silent."

[Because you didn't really expect to converse with him without ONE of these popping up somewhere, did you?]
