Taking AU Jin out for a ride

[wasjustascratch]

No, mundane. I don't want any part of this. I don't want to see Shion or Margulis or anyone. It's better that my presence not upset any of my family or friends from the 'canon' universe. The choices that lead me here are already made, nothing can be changed about it.

[He pauses and sighs.]

And that username is completely unnecessary. I had thought I'd survive the injury.

[wasjustascratch]

I am most certainly not.

[facedthetruth]

*Then how come you don't realize you're still important to him.*

It's a shame you only seem aware of trivial matters.

[wasjustascratch]

[That's how denial works, buddy.]

I only seem to be encountering trivial matters here.

And this is the part I love about these two.

[facedthetruth]

That's because you're blind to everything that truly matters.

Saaaame.

[wasjustascratch]

That's different for everyone, Colonel. What truly matters to you?

Their banter is beautiful. And something Margulis actually enjoys.

[facedthetruth]

In my case, it's convincing my version of yourself and Pellegri of the manipulations of the powers behind U-TIC before you discover the truth the hard way.

I love it.

[wasjustascratch]

That's not something you have to convince me of, thankfully.

Even if it does make people want to shout at them to stop flirting XD

[facedthetruth]

For that, at least, I am relieved. But I'm hardly pleased with the group you're affiliated with instead, either.

XXD Ahahaha!

[wasjustascratch]

I'm not entirely pleased myself but it was a choice I had to make.

And then Margulis tries to deny the subtext...

[facedthetruth]

You realize that that's not enough to prevent us from being at odds.

Oh come on Margy darling~

[wasjustascratch]

I doubt that there's anything in the universe that would be enough to prevent that.

He denies everything. With varying reasons depending on the version.

[facedthetruth]

Our rivalry isn't something I would even consider wanting to see ended. Your foolish decisions are another matter.

/chinhands

[wasjustascratch]

Unfortunately, there isn't much rivalry to be had these days.

This particular one claims the idea that he'd have feelings for the enemy is patently absurd.

[facedthetruth]

Because of your rash decision to ignore your wounds.

Jin agrees, truthfully. So absurd.

[wasjustascratch]

I realize that. I hadn't thought they would fatal.

...Which probably prompts Jr. to ask if that's the oooooonly reason, honestly.

[facedthetruth]

You should have known better than to underestimate your world's version of me.

*It's both insulting and painful.*

Shush Jr. you know not of what you speak.

[wasjustascratch]

I would say that it's not a mistake I would make again but...

[Ha, yeah. He won't be able to.]

He's just saying. If one of Margulis' goals is for Jin to not be his enemy...

[facedthetruth]

Your rash ignorance of your own limits divided you from myself and Pellegri far more than any simple matter of political or moral differences.

*He's doing a good job of hiding it, but there's something about his posture and tone that suggests that this is something that honestly bothers him.*

It never works out that way though so stop thinking about it. :p

[wasjustascratch]

I'm perfectly aware of that. And it isn't something that I'm proud of.

[And Jin has known him long enough to realize that. He says nothing though and just raises one brow in question as if to say 'You're keeping something from me.']

Dodging the subject is pretty suspicious too...

[facedthetruth]

Are you aware of the full effects of your death?

*Since he can't imagine that his alternate was too happy once he calmed down and it hit him that Jin was dead.*

Is nooot!

[wasjustascratch]

Not entirely. I've avoided most people I knew from when I was alive.

[Visiting the man that killed him was not high on his list. He did check in on him once in awhile though, in disguise.]

Yeah, this is the point where Margulis usually just walks away or begins with the violence XD

[facedthetruth]

Afraid to face the situation brought about by your carelessness?

Jin would just walk away... And throw something at Jr.

[wasjustascratch]

I'm not afraid. It's better this way, not having to answer countless ridiculous questions as to how I can be somewhere when I'm known to be dead.

Margulis would throw Jr. XD

[facedthetruth]

Selfish as ever, eh, Uzuki?

In this case, Jin would support it!

[wasjustascratch]

It's not out of selfishness. If it were allowed, I would have continued on and tried to hide the fact that I had died.
