Indecision over which game AU to toss at ![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)

I'm glad you acknowledge the how much the differences will affect me, but have you considered the possibility of overthinking the decision? There's truly no need for all of this stress you're putting us through, especially considering your current stance on your games and my voice. Frankly, I disapprove of your thinking I'm so unbearable, but it'll take more than my word to convince you otherwise, won't it? If you are to place me elsewhere against my will, I'd rather you do it with confidence than hesitation; the latter will harm you more than it'll harm me.
I'm a survivor. Regardless of which incarnation of me you choose, I'll persevere; it's what I do. Review your notes thoroughly and consider the possibilities before making your decision...and do take your time while you do so; confidence is one thing, but impulse is as bad as hesitation.
...And if I have to hear that "oven and microwave" metaphor one more time, I'm leaving.

[Yes, let's just keep talking and ignore the awkward over seeing Kreutzer again after so long...]
Um. Oven and microwave? What's that all about?
no subject
(The awkward gets shoved aside because of how happy she is to see him again...with his emotions, at that. That alone gets her to smile.)
It's a silly metaphor meant to describe my growth as an individual across these games. The Reaper's Game is meant to be the microwave, with my development there being "quick and easy". The former makes sense, but "easy" is highly subjective.
Mayfield and the Thor are meant to be the oven due to my development being slower, but more thorough. I spent a year across those two places as opposed to the six weeks in the Reaper's game. The same destination reached from two different paths, hence the cooking comparison.
no subject
[He offers a smile of his own... one that's completely genuine, this time. That's hopefully enough to convince her than he's back to normal this time.]
Oh, wow... that sounds really interesting. So it's not about choosing how developed you are, but the path you took to get to where you are now.
I definitely wouldn't agree with it being 'easy', though. You were put through a lot, and I don't think any of it was fair.
no subject
Precisely; my incarnations are vastly different from each other, but both are much better off than when they started. One finally found happiness and decided she would live her life to its fullest. The other...
(She pauses, shuffling a little bit.)
...well, you already know her. Things became much worse for her after you left, but...she's strong.
no subject
It could have been worse if I was still there. I'm sorry I couldn't help you, though.
[He shrugs, smile a little more forced, but still honest.]
As long as both versions of you are better off, and still will be if you get sent somewhere else.
no subject
(She is, of course, implying that she misses him, but it wouldn't be Kreutzer if she was so direct about everything.)
One's currently getting adjusted to her new life in that place, at least. The other...well, the Reaper is already planned to go elsewhere. I understand Personas are involved, but I'm not too familiar on that subject. Do they sound familiar to you?
augh sorry lost my tag
If you say so! Thanks for saying that.
[And that's certainly a surprise. Ryoji raises an eyebrow, but smirks at the question. Do Personas sound familiar to him? They're more familiar to him than almost anything else.]
Funny you should ask something like that... In my world, Personae were facets of your inner strength, used to fight beings called Shadows, which fed on human desires and fears.
Actually, back when I rescued the Reaper you as Thanatos? That was a Persona. Minato's, in fact, from when I was trapped inside of him.
No worries! Happens all the time
(After all, we're talking about inner manifestations becoming their own entities. It's kinda surreal.)
Re: No worries! Happens all the time
So in a sense, I am his Persona, but I am also a Shadow. Does that... make sense at all?
no subject
no subject
But why do you find it questionable?
no subject
...perhaps the imagery is what has me thinking so.
no subject
[... oh god she doesn't think-]
I-It really wasn't like that! It wasn't like I was... it wasn't physical!
no subject
(She doesn't really want to know, but at the same time, she does.)

More chaos to spread to multiple worlds out here~
no subject
Besides, I'm rather fond of your kind of chaos; it's charming.
no subject
I'm fond of it too, but charming is a word that never crossed my mind.
no subject
(Don't mind her as she twirls your beard around her finger.)
