On considering reapplying to Tower of Animus

[denigrator]

This again? I thought we had determined our former "working relationship" was less than a success. To wit, you lack intelligence, and I lack respect for you.

You failed the last time due to mere oversight on your part. Shoddy work.

Yet as these games go, it isn't the worst one you could select. I do approve of the principles on which it is run. The experiments! Yes, yes. I can't deny there are some interesting subjects there, and I myself was able to conduct intriguing research without encountering any major obstacles. A death or two, but what is death to one such as myself? Nothing, nothing at all.

[He's such a superlative scientist, obviously. That's why he never dies and always wins.]

And another thing: I don't care for your idiotic sarcastic narration. I am fully aware of it, you realize. I'd almost prefer to work with Hollander.

YOU.

[denigrator]

I'm pleased to see you're still capable of basic facial and voice recognition.

Yes, it is me.

[iam_sephiroth]

I adbhore you and everything you have done to me and those around me. [Including Genesis.]

Hollander should pay for his crimes just as much as you. Genesis....didn't deserve what you did to him either.

[denigrator]

Yes, yes, you've made no secret of your scorn for me. And after all I've done for you. Crimes? My acts of genius are above the law.

Genesis? What of him? Another of Hollander's failures, though I suppose it wasn't an idea completely without merit. No, there was some promise there. A shame it was in Hollander's hands.

[iam_sephiroth]

Genius.....[He snarled then grabbed Hojo by the shoulder and slammed him up against the wall.]

What you have done is disgusting. Your very body is filth and your mind is evil. You had no right to take me from my biological mother and infiltrate me like some test tube subject! [He narrowed his eyes.

As for Genesis....you had no right to use him as a playtoy either. We're living beings and deserve respect. Something, you will never understand.

[taunted_angel]

You should be dead.

[denigrator]

I should? But I am not, so that seems to disprove your statement.

As I said, death doesn't stand in the way of a great scientist.

[taunted_angel]

Why are you here? [He scowled at the man he hated for ruining his life.]

[denigrator]

[He shook his head.]

I have as much right to be here as any other, if not more.

[speaks_dirty]

God dammit.

I was nice an' comfy relaxing on th' beach and now you appear.

[denigrator]

[Smile.]

Don't let me disturb you, you go on relaxing. There's no need to unsettle yourself.

[He'll just observe. He's a scientist, after all. He also likes the beach. It's so scenic. What with all the young women.]

[speaks_dirty]

Hell. No.

[Hojo was one of the creepiest people she'd ever met. Not wearing a swimsuit around him. Ever.]

[denigrator]

And why is that? The situation hasn't altered.

This is a public area.

[fallen_stage]

A shame I cannot follow you. I would enjoy a meeting of the minds.

[denigrator]

We did have a stimulating conversation. I do enjoy rational discourse, more so because I find those capable of it so rarely.

I would like to learn more about you. A unique individual, I recall...

[protect_your_honor]

Hojo.

[denigrator]

Correct. Congratulations on your ability to identify a well-known figure in the corporation.

[lucrecia]

Professor!

[That might be relief. That's frightening.]

Where are you going?

[denigrator]

Ah... yes. There you are.

[Well, that's a better reception than all these ridiculous moralizing SOLDIERs have given him.]

It's a laboratory of sorts, though unfortunately, I do not oversee it. However, there's ample opportunity for research. It's known simply as the "Tower". I was there once before.

[lucrecia]

It seems an odd name for a laboratory. But I suppose it would give you a chance to continue your research. Did you manage it, when you were there before?

[Still peppy. Still no horror. Though of course she might just be hiding it well.]

I found the last place I was abysmally depressing for conducting any experiments.

[denigrator]

The Tower is name of the habitat in which the experiment takes place. It may have another name the residents are not aware of.

There's no shortage of subjects there--I even had colleagues--and yes, I did manage to gather a great deal of data, though my analysis was still ongoing when it was unfortunately interrupted.

[For his part, Hojo doesn't mind the more positive reaction, though it is unusual from his perspective. Well, he'll see what comes of it.]

Last place? What place was this?

[rookie_turk]

[You know, typically she'd probably be absolutely sick to her stomach about the fact he exists for any period of time. But at least it's not where she is and that's what's keeping her relatively civil.]

I can't imagine any place wanting you, to be perfectly fair. But at least I don't have to worry about you.

[denigrator]

Some people, and places, appreciate scientific greatness. I have my admirers.

Are you entirely sure I won't appear?

[rookie_turk]

I guess my mun does, considering she just made the most ghastly of squealed noises. Though her tastes are... suspect when it comes to most.

[No. Nononono. She's already having a hard enough time dealing with the city and brainwashing and not wanting to leave her apartment without having to worry about him showing up.]

Absolutely sure. [Even though she won't sound it.]

[denigrator]

Proving me right. A common experience, where I'm concerned. Her tastes sound perfectly acceptable to me.

Then you don't truly understand the nature of these "games". However unlikely it is that any one person may appear, it is not impossible, considering the temperaments of these "players".

Not that I expect higher reasoning from you.
