You're looking to me? I preferred being forgotten.

Leave me.

[warring_triad]

Oh come now, surely the one that made my ascension to godhood possible deserves some recognition~!

[assassin_shadow]

And now you are nothing more than another ghost from my past.

[reicheru]

I think I want to rest in peace sometimes too...

[assassin_shadow]

If only there was peace and rest in being left alone.

[reicheru]

Maybe it's not time for us to rest yet?

[assassin_shadow]

I suppose there really is no rest for the wicked.

[reicheru]

[She looks a little disconcerted. Is she really wicked?] I...suppose?

[assassin_shadow]

It's merely a figure of speech, don't dwell on it too much.

[reicheru]

Oh- Oh! Right. ahaha I'm so embarrassed now.

[assassin_shadow]

Don't be. There are worse things to be embarrassed about.

[reicheru]

I suppose. [she shifts her feet awkwardly, kicking up a little cloud of dust that clings around the bottom of her dress]

[assassin_shadow]

[He just looks over at her.]

...

[reicheru]

[she shifts her gaze away uncomfortably]

[assassin_shadow]

[Not the first time that's happened to him.]

...What haunts you?

[reicheru]

Myself mostly. [she gives a small laugh] I am supposed to be dead after all. But since I'm here I feel like a lonely ghost. I don't want to intrude on the happiness of...those I left behind.

[assassin_shadow]

This may seem like a lie, but I do know exactly how you feel. Not being able to be who you once were is a fate worse than death.

[reicheru]

hm. I wonder if I've changed at all. Doesn't death simply solidify who you were at that moment?

:D

[rainbowbrush]

Why? Being forgotten is boring!

...Where's Interceptor?

Re: :O

[assassin_shadow]

...I can't say that it isn't.

[The mere mention of the name summons the vigilant guard dog to her, not him. Of course.]

I'm so sorry for her. You know how she is.

[rainbowbrush]

Yaaaaaay!

[Shadow's response gets quite ignored for a bit as Relm happily plays with the massive dog. Eventually she acknowledges the ninja again, looking up at him as she lays on Interceptor's back.]

So why do you wanna be forgotten, then?

Yeah, I do. :D

[assassin_shadow]

[Doing the only thing he can, Shadow pretends that his vicious, vehement, voracious, violent, (Ran out of V words) attack dog isn't being a total puppy.]

People do things that they regret. And some people shouldn't be remembered for it. Hmm... Rewarding bad behavior with attention.

[rainbowbrush]

[Relm idly scratches the dog's head between his ears, totally unconcerned.]

'Course they do. But you gotta just keep going. I don't wanna be forgotten, ever. You shouldn't either.

...It's too sad.

[assassin_shadow]

...Yes. Especially if the end of the world isn't enough to stop us. [Shadow eyes the smiling dog.]

He does bite. [Telling himself as much as her,]

OMG HI SHADOW

[blockedlight]

....

Who are you.

I ALWAYS WANTED TO MEET YOU SHADOW!

[assassin_shadow]

I thought you were a mirror's reflection at first.

...

That depends on how much money you have.

[blockedlight]

A mirror's reflection indeed.

..

It would mean I have as much money as you.

[assassin_shadow]

And you plan on keeping as much of it as I do.

[blockedlight]

Would I be a reflection if I didn't?

My brain gave out on that one...

[assassin_shadow]

...

So you remember everything I do.

[eatsstrangers]

[Is a dog.]

[assassin_shadow]

[Isn't.]

Hungry boy?

[eatsstrangers]

[Interceptor's ears perk up and he barks excitedly.

HELL YEAH.]

[assassin_shadow]

A special straight from the Veldt.

[Snaps a thick strip of dried meat to Interceptor. How disappointed would he be if the dog missed it and let hit the ground? A lot.]

[lockpick]

[You're such a charmer, Shadow.]

Nice to see you haven't changed.

[assassin_shadow]

[He's totally a creepy sweet guy.

You seem the same as well. Find any deep pockets with treasure?

[lockpick]

[He will give Shadow the benefit of the doubt and assume he isn't being accused of picking people's pockets right now. He huffs.]

Found myself plenty of excitement, at least. Not so much in the way of treasure.

[Unfortunately.]

:D I apologize

[ultros_boogie]

Not a problem, Chump! I can't remember your name anyway. What was it again? Tall dark and ugly?

You must NEVER apologize with Ulty! :D

[assassin_shadow]

I've always wanted to feed you to my dog.

:3

[ultros_boogie]

Woah woah hold on there now Masky. Nobody's gonna make a doggie biscuit out of me!

[assassin_shadow]

You're right, I wouldn't want him to get sick.

[ultros_boogie]

That's right! But say, if you want someone to take that dog off of your hands, I could go for a light snack!

[desertdaggers]

Do you know that that's ever worked?
