Are you really doing this? I know there aren't many places that accept AUs, but what in the universe are you thinking, sending an ex-engineer somewhere that technology doesn't even work? So what if there are castmates there?! I don't even know MOMO, and Wilhelm's app isn't in yet so it's castmate anyway.

I'm not talking you out of this, am I? Fine, but don't expect me to actually help with this. If I could actually access your computer, I'd be deleting that file.

And quit thinking about how funny it would be if you got someone to bring Ms. Uzuki or Kevin from canon! Or...or my Ms. Uzuki. That wouldn't be funny. You know how awkward that would be. I'll be lucky if she doesn't hate my guts after everything I told her on Miltia. So just...give me some time to sort myself out before you start trying to make me face her again.

And no, I don't want Virgil or Albedo around, either. They're not my friends, they're jerks that think antagonizing me into snapping back is fun.

My mundane is working on enabling Mary, as well.

[temptestament]

I wouldn't mind having Mary around. Well, once the initial confusion of us remembering things differently wears off. Would she be coming in with KOS-MOS' body or her own?

*His Mary revived in T-Elos, but there's enough canon Xenosaga people in his mun's headspace that he knows that isn't the case for them.*

[oforder]

She will be in KOS-MOS' body.

[temptestament]

That's...definitely going to be strange.

[oforder]

I do not recall making you into a Testament, Allen. This is already rather strange to me, but useful none the less.

[temptestament]

That's why my mun's so happy you reserved at the game she was considering for me. She loves the idea of sticking me somewhere with castmates either me or my canon self has a connection to and watching the timeline differences make things weird for everyone.

*His lack of amusement is palpable.*

[oforder]

It makes little difference to me. My mundane has already posted his application.

[temptestament]

Mine's just got the samples now. She'll probably have the whole thing up by the end of the night.

[oforder]

I am more than patient. My mundane, however, is a different story.

[temptestament]

That's something they have in common. Mine shouldn't even be writing apps right now, she has a project due Wednesday and eleven more sketches to ink for it. But apparently she's that eager to get me in now that she's decided for sure she's sending me.

[oforder]

Oh? You were even less agreeable than Shion. Are you certain that you agree with me, Allen?

[ What? Even Wilhelm can be skeptical. ]

[temptestament]

*Yeah, he can see the canon version of him kind of...seething in the back of his mun's headspace.*

We've had different experiences, so we look at it in different ways. I can't say I agree that the Recurrence is the only way, but I think it has to be an option. It should be up to mankind to decide whether to move forward and try something else or put it off for another cycle in the hopes that something will change.

[oforder]

The Recurrence was only the least painful option for this cycle. The only other futures that are ultimately favorable will not come without great sacrifice.

[needtobecleaned]

My mundane is giggling at the potential this has.

[temptestament]

Oh great...do I even want to know what kind of potential you're talking about?

[needtobecleaned]

Mary is awakened within me, and she has a certain fondness of you in our universe. Seeing you as a Testament will be strange to us both.

[temptestament]

Seeing Mary in your body will be strange for me, so we're even. And that's kind of why my mun's so eager to play me somewhere with people from your version of things. I'm, ah, sorry in advance for any awkwardness the timeline differences might cause, though.

[needtobecleaned]

It is not necessary for you to apologize. I do not believe it was your intention to cause confusion, Allen. It will simply be more difficult to adjust to.

[She'll miss her Allen :<]

[temptestament]

*Awww, he's still Allen...just a bit more morally flexible and less prone to hiding his snarky comments. And used to working with T-Elos instead...*

It's, ah...not just confusion. You were kind of destroyed in my timeline...by T-Elos...

[needtobecleaned]

[But she doesn't like T-elos!]

I... Hope that Shion was not too disappointed.

[Taking this surprisingly well. Mary... less so.]

[temptestament]

*His T-Elos wasn't as mean?*

She was pretty upset. It was like she'd lost a friend. I'm sorry, I...I wish it didn't have to have happened that way. I wouldn't have cared if Mary had awoken in you or T-Elos, just as long as she woke up, but Wilhelm had his own plans and Kevin wasn't going to tune you up so you could ruin them.

[needtobecleaned]

[Well, she guesses that makes it a little better.]

In that condition, Shion would have been more open to the idea of Recurrence. I apologize that I was not strong enough to defeat your T-elos, it would have saved Shion some pain, and yourself if you care for Shion as much as our Allen does.

[temptestament]

*She was programmed by Allen, what do you expect?*

It's not your fault. If it's anyone's, it's mine. I was the one who built her, after all. She had to be strong enough to at least threaten you so that Ms. Uzuki's will would spark the dive into her subconscious domain to save you. I didn't want to make her suffer by watching you get destroyed.

[needtobecleaned]

[A fair point.]

You did an impressive job then, when you built T-elos. Do not take it offensively, but I am glad that I have survived in my own universe. At least you can be proud of your achievement, despite the sad outcome. You created a being more powerful than I was in a much shorter time than it took to develop me.

[She's... trying to cheer you up, really.]

[temptestament]

I know T-Elos is impressive, but that doesn't make up for making Ms. Uzuki cry.

*And now his mask goes on, mostly out of habit to hide how upset he really is.*
