81. Reality

[corrinesbell]

Uh...I think I'm back...hard to tell though, I guess. Maybe this time someone will be there to read it? I wonder how long I've been gone...

[[ooc: Boy, is it good to be back~ I was nice to Sheena here and she's not almost dead for once :) ]]

Yeah, but anyways, when he gets all mad and bitchy? That's Ratatosk's real personality. For the most part.

You'd think so, but the Vanguard had to level it in order to stir up conflict with the Church of Martel. Damn, I still don't know how a war didn't break out.

Do you always have to be so vulgar? [small mocking punch to the shoulder]

...Wait. If Emil's a summon spirit, how can he even be here?

[action]

[pimpinwings.livejournal.com]

Only when it it's fun.

You know, I'm not sure, other than in the end, Emil and Ratatosk became virtually two different people, though they were in the same body. Though, if Tenebrae can be here, too, then who knows, really.

[action]

[corrinesbell]

Tenebrae's different. So's Corrine.

...If Emil comes from a time before he was separate though...

[action]

[pimpinwings.livejournal.com]

Technically, he is from that time. If Emil managed to get hurt badly enough or killed, he might just turn into his core form.

[action]

[corrinesbell]

Then I don't get how he can be here.

[action]

[pimpinwings.livejournal.com]

I don't either. Ratatosk is a special case for a summon spirit, however.

[action]

[corrinesbell]

I guess...

No point trying to figure it out. There aren't really rules that make sense here anyway.

[another of those pale-and-trembling moments]

[action]

[pimpinwings.livejournal.com]

Mmm. Yeah, none of this makes sense-- hey, you sure you're all right?

[action]

[corrinesbell]

I'm fine! It just comes and goes every once in a while.

[action]

[pimpinwings.livejournal.com]

For the love of... would you quit it?

[action]

[corrinesbell]

Quit what? I don't expect to feel like a million gald after being kidnapped, but this is sure as hell better than every other time.

[action]

[pimpinwings.livejournal.com]

The whole "I'm okay when I'm not really actually" deal. It's getting old.

[action]

[corrinesbell]

What d'you want me to do instead, Zelos?

[action]

[pimpinwings.livejournal.com]

Admit you're not okay? It's not hard.

[action]

[corrinesbell]

Fine. I'm not okay every so often.

[action]

[pimpinwings.livejournal.com]

Well, that makes two of us. Thanks for being a good sport, though.

[action]

[corrinesbell]

Yeah, yeah, now stop bugging me about it. No one comes back from the Malnosso feeling perfect.

[action]

[pimpinwings.livejournal.com]

Well, no. But we're all in this together, right?

[action]

[corrinesbell]

I still don't get what you're trying to get me to say.

[action]

[pimpinwings.livejournal.com]

Just tryin' to get you to smile. It ain't working.

[action]

[corrinesbell]

You should've just said that. [another friendly punch] Idiot.

[action]

[pimpinwings.livejournal.com]

Well, I try to be subtle sometimes. I should just quit while I'm ahead.

[action]

[corrinesbell]

When's that?

[action]

[pimpinwings.livejournal.com]

When you're not smacking me. You tend to be in a good mood if you aren't smacking me.
