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.

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.*

[needtobecleaned]

No, it does not. Shion is strong though.

[And now her voice softens and eyes change.]

Just as she has always been, in each incarnation. She can live through more pain than we'd expect.

[temptestament]

Still...I hate being the cause of her pain. I wanted to make it easier for her, not harder.

[needtobecleaned]

I understand, Allen.

[Places her head on his shoulder, reassuringly.]

[temptestament]

*He rests his hand on her arm gratefully.*

Thanks, Mary.

[needtobecleaned]

You are welcome, Allen.

[temptestament]

*His mask disappears, letting her see his faint, thankful smile.*

Even if it will be kind of awkward, I'm glad you'll be around.

*He didn't know Mary for long before the Recurrence happened, but he liked her while he did.*

[needtobecleaned]

I am glad, as well.

[She smiles a bit.]

[temptestament]

Especially if my mun does manage to find someone to bring Ms. Uzuki there. Whichever Recurrence she's from, I'm sure having you already around will make things a lot easier on her.

[needtobecleaned]

I hope that your mundane can find her, I would be glad to have Shion nearby.

[temptestament]

I'd kind of like to have her around, too, once I figure out what I would say to her.

[needtobecleaned]

You are mostly the same Allen that we know, there are differences but not enough to change what she thinks of you, I'm sure.

[temptestament]

If it's your Shion, probably. Just as long as she isn't too bothered by me being a Testament.

*His Shion...is kind of unhappy with him.*

[needtobecleaned]

It did not bother her a lot that Kevin was a Testament. It should not borher her if you are, either.

[temptestament]

I hope so. It would be nice to get to talk to her without having to worry about that sort of thing. Just as people, instead of as a Testament and the Maiden, you know?

[needtobecleaned]

I understand. It may be best not to wear the cloak when you first talk to her though, if she does find us there. It's usually cause for us to be a bit wary.

[temptestament]

I prefer not wearing it anyway. It's kind of silly looking. Ah...I'll probably spend a while at first in the form I used to head the T-Elos project if I can still do that there, though. It's what I'm used to doing when I'm out in public.
