Mun has fleshed out parts of his AU that he doesn't approve of...

[tainted_dragon]

NO! Hell fucking NO! He's not dying! I don't give a crap if someone has to! Let it be Nigredo, that way I can actually get what I fucking wanted even if he does manage to break my connection with U-DO!

You're not getting away with this, I swear! I'll fucking kill you first!

Rubedo, mon amour, my dearest dragon.... What must be, must be.

[tainted_dragon]

No! You're not allowed to leave! You're immortal, remember? You're supposed to be with me forever!

[white_purity]

I've hardly been able to forget. It has, after all, preyed on my mind from the first time I discovered that you, my twin, my second heartbeat, my raison d'être, are not.

Nothing lasts forever.

[tainted_dragon]

We were supposed to! With Nigredo gone, nothing would be able to hurt us! I wouldn't ever have to leave you, and you could stay with me forever!

[white_purity]

Nothing, Rubedo? As long as your link to U-DO remains, every moment you live could be your last. Should the dragon ever bestir itself and find the enemy within, their struggle would rend you apart from the inside.

Do you believe I make my choice lightly? I do not. This is the best path. The only path I will allow. You will not be alone. Nigredo loves you, loathe as you are to accept it.

[tainted_dragon]

I've got the Red Dragon on lockdown, you know that!

And Nigredo? Love me? How the hell can he love someone he's made to destroy?

[white_purity]

Your anger management leaves something to be desired, mon petit amour.

[And oh look, here is a smug little look that would not be out of place on a cat that just had a mouse run right into its claws.] I would say you are better equipped to answer that question than myself. How are you and U-DO getting along these days?

[tainted_dragon]

I know how to keep it from activating.

*You're getting a dirty look now. And not that kind of dirty.*

That's different!

[white_purity]

Is it?

[tainted_dragon]

Of course! U-DO isn't something that even can be destroyed.

Canon vs Alternate - HEAVEN OR HELL LETS ROCK

[namedforcat]

[Damn you are a scary alternate version, still, he can't help but be a little hurt at that comment. But as he'd proved in canon, he would die to keep Rubedo alive and happy with Albedo.]

There has to be another way to break that connection.

I'm inclined to think the latter.

[tainted_dragon]

*He's just...sneering at you, baby brother.*

And why the hell would I even want to break it?

It's always hell in URTV land

[namedforcat]

Because it's bad for you and you know it. [Someone is not a shrinking violet about telling off his brother.]

Albedo has a point about the Red Dragon.

Trufax

[tainted_dragon]

And what the hell do you care?! You, the Executioner. If I lost control, I'd just be doing your job for you, wouldn't I? Or are you just worried that you won't get to fulfil your function yourself?

[namedforcat]

[Ouch...come on Gaignun, you accepted this on your death, remember?]

I don't want to see you dead. That's what the hell I care.

[tainted_dragon]

Bullshit! If that's the case, then why the hell did the you in my universe leave me to rot on Miltia?

[namedforcat]

If the me in your universe is anything like the me in mine, I didn't leave you willingly. I probably got picked up and dragged away before I could pull myself together to look again.

Not like I could find you the easy way at that point.

[tainted_dragon]

Then why didn't you tell them about us?!

[namedforcat]

I did...when I woke up a week later in the hospital. And by then Miltia had been blocked off.

If things went the way they did in your universe as they did in mine, that would be what had happened.

[tainted_dragon]

How convenient, that you passed out before you could even tell your fucking rescuers about us.

[namedforcat]

Convenient it may have been...that's what happened to me.

[tainted_dragon]

And why the hell should I believe you, you damn snake?

[white_purity]

Rubedo.

[tainted_dragon]

What?

[white_purity]

You go too far. Calm yourself.

[tainted_dragon]

Too far? What the hell do you mean by that?

[namedforcat]

Why would you ask if you didn't think you'd believe the answer Rubedo. I know the me that you know...feels guiltier then you would ever imagine about the whole thing.

Even for the parts I don't think you know.

[tainted_dragon]

On the off chance that you might say something that makes sense. I guess I should've known better with you.

[namedforcat]

If I lie, then it is by omission. Everything I've said here was true.

[tainted_dragon]

Of course. Because you've never been the sort of opportunistic bastard who would stand back and watch a target die from his own circumstances when all it would take to save him is a few words.

[namedforcat]

You're not listening to a word I'm saying, are you. [Privately he's starting to think that infected Rubedo is even worse to deal with then infected!Albedo]

[tainted_dragon]

Is any of it worth listening to?

*He is, he really is.*

[namedforcat]

You obviously thought so if you asked.

[tainted_dragon]

Maybe I was just curious what kind of crap would come out of your mouth.

[namedforcat]

So why ask me instead of the Nigredo from your universe.

[tainted_dragon]

You see him around here?

[namedforcat]

No, apparently I'm not that common in these parts.

[tainted_dragon]

Nobody's been dumb enough to take him up, so how the hell would you expect me to ask him?

[namedforcat]

I'm sure there's part of him in your mun's head considering you're from a alternate time line.

[white_purity]

Do not encourage him, Nigredo. The decision has been made and I will not see it changed. I am already going to find myself required to have this argument with you in our own universe, I am disinclined to have it twice.

[Despite his evident displeasure, there isn't any of the vitriol an early-canon Albedo would generally bring to bear on Gaignun.]

[namedforcat]

Then unmake it. I've seen what he goes through when you die, I won't have it. Not again.

[white_purity]

I cannot care for him properly, Nigredo. U-TIC has been our provider for these fourteen years, and they have only exacerbated the problem. I will not see him returned to them.

Gaignun Kukai can provide for him as I am not equipped to. And you, Nigredo, there is so much between you, so many things that need to be resolved, if my brothers are ever to find peace.

[namedforcat]

I'm trying Albedo...but, it didn't exactly go well when I tried with you and...I have a feeling the me in your universe will have a much rougher go.

I want to help him, but he needs you.

[white_purity]

And in the aftermath of the Song of Nephilim, he will need you. U-DO will no longer taint his perceptions. He will believe me gone for good. He will have no choice but to see what I have told him all along. What I have known since I saw...

[Albedo shakes his head briefly and veers away from that.] I know what I am doing, Nigredo. Trust me.

[namedforcat]

Albedo, there are some...complications that your canon point might not be aware of...

[white_purity]

I am not.... entirely constrained by my canon point at the moment. Though you may wish to consider, Nigredo, that regardless of any sway you may hold on my decisions here, it shan't carry over.

You cannot change what will occur, Nigredo, any more than you can change any of the events within your own Recurrence.

[namedforcat]

I know that, I know. I guess I just had to try, you know? Father is going to put him through the wringer again once he resurfaces.

[white_purity]

[Sigh.] Still calling that man Father....

[Albedo is disappoint, little brother.]

[namedforcat]

Not the best name for him, I know. It's...habit I suppose.
