On a temporary memory wipe and other awful things...

[deusrexmachina]

Okay, this latest mess you decided to get me involved with? No exaggeration, worst idea you've ever had. And given you've come up with some pretty bad ones, that's really saying something.

You had just better keep your promise to let me go home again for another canon update in May so I can get rid of this stupid problem!

[pineapplesalmon]

... May?

[deusrexmachina]

Yeah, since May marks three years in Nautilus for me. Mun's saying it's supposed to be an anniversary gift to me, which is great...except that she's clearly doing everything she can right now to make that update as totally necessary as possible.

[pineapplesalmon]

But May? You're not going to be yourself for that long?

[Hold on, your bro is having a mild panic attack here.]

[deusrexmachina]

No, I'll start to get my memories back before then, after things with Pitch, but... Look, some things are gonna be kind of hazy, okay? I might not remember absolutely everything. That close call... It was really close.

[pineapplesalmon]

[Caesar relaxes a little.]

That's... good.

... ... I'm so sorry I wasn't there, mijo.

[deusrexmachina]

There wasn't anything you could do, anyway. I could barely even tell reality from what was going on in my head. Just...do like you promised with my pendents and...I'm sorry. About what's coming.

[pineapplesalmon]

I.. will. ... And it isn't your fault.

[kingofnightmares]

It's not all that bad. It's giving the city a little excitement, don't you think?

[deusrexmachina]

Yeah, because hurting the people I care about is totally worth a little excitement. Obviously I just need to have a better sense of humor about all this and so do they, right? Of course.

[kingofnightmares]

[Pshaw, Pitch waves his hand, as if to push away the subject.]

Pfft. You'll come back, sheesh.

[deusrexmachina]

Because that somehow makes it alright.

[A pause. He narrows his eyes.]

...I'm gonna make you pay for this.

[kingofnightmares]

Good luck with that.

[deusrexmachina]

Number one? You're messing with an Ashura.

Number two, you have no clue how persistent I can be. Don't believe me? Go have a chat with Xemnas.

Number three...me getting back at you? Probably won't happen like you'll expect it to.

[kingofnightmares]

I'm shaking in my boots. [He rolls his eyes.] I'll believe it when I see it.

[He does chuckle though, a thought coming to mind.]

Yes, an Ashura that was indirectly taken down by a Wakened.

[deusrexmachina]

The only thing you did was push me into something that was already in my own head, Pitch. And that something won't exist anymore after I update in May.

[kingofnightmares]

Then lucky me that I was able to push you into it now. Everyone is putting on quite the show for you.

[deusrexmachina]

I hope you realize that they're gonna be even less likely to forgive you...

[kingofnightmares]

Probably. But things will die down afterwards. Plus, I always have the shadows to take solace in for the time being.

[deusrexmachina]

Pitch, my "father" is a trained assassin. One of his associates in Nautilus? Also a trained assassin. These people hold grudges for-freaking-ever. I wouldn't take all this so lightly if I were you...

[kingofnightmares]

Would they go as far as to kill me? I'd only come back. I'll certainly learn my lesson then, now won't I?

[buffing]

Yeah, heard about what's going on from my mun. Not cool.

Least you don't have to remember it later.

[deusrexmachina]

Not immediately, no, but later? I'll remember it all. No way she'll let me forget it.

[hasnomentor]

Mundanos are twisted.

[deusrexmachina]

Yeah, and mine's twisted enough that she's not only enjoying my suffering, but all of you guys' suffering, too. All of this is just free entertainment.

[hasnomentor]

It's not fair ese. We didn't even have a chance to...save you.

[deusrexmachina]

Believe it or not, killing me was the best thing anyone could do. If Six hadn't taken me out when he did, I would have turned completely and my memory loss would have been permanent. Just...don't give up on me when I come back.

[hasnomentor]

Dude, I'm never giving up. You told me you'd stay with me even if...well when thanks to my mun, I go on-mode. I'm not giving up on you if you're losing your memories.

Like Dib said; we're family and family stays together.

[deusrexmachina]

Yeah... You're right. I'm just sorry in advance for all the problems I'm gonna end up causing you guys.

[hasnomentor]

There's no way it's going to be that bad hermano. [He puts his hand on Rex's shoulder.]

We're not giving up and neither are you.
