Okay, this last virus? What the hell, man? I mean, sometimes these things have a totally crazy sort of logic, but this time it was so...random.

Well, anyway, back to normal, I guess? At least I don't have those stupid ears, and the tail anymore. What a weird way to fight, too. Guess it was some kind of magic? Or maybe just magic words.

Inoue? Are you back home, now?

And, while I'm at it; how about the rest of you guys? Oh, and sorry for giving you the third degree, Tommy.

[ Friend's Locked ]

...So, has anybody talked to Rock, recently? I saw that post the other day, and...yeah. Didn't look good.

((OOC: If you're not sure if you're a "Friend" just ask~. Annnd, bear with me on slow-ish tags, please? Some day I'll get caught up, again, I swear o999!!! ))

Affirmative. My systems are back to normal.

Um...right.

So, is that lady - what's her name, oh Catherine-san - is she okay?

Affirmative. The Duchess is unharmed- I was the one who took damage. Recovery is at 100%.

Edited 2010-07-23 17:35 (UTC)

...So, you do always talk like a computer.

Affirmative. I am not human, I am a machine.

...wait, really? But, you like Catherine-san, don't you? I thought machines didn't feel that kind of stuff.

It is not within my programming to feel emotion- however I was... human during the virus.

You look completely human, though. Hell, apart from talking like a computer, you even sound completely human.

...You sure the virus didn't just bring out stuff that was in you already?

I'm fine- I was with Kasumi for a few days. I think... I was Kite's uncle. It was weird.

[Locked]

Yeah, I saw it. Haven't heard much from him, but I'm worried.

Uhhh....okay.

How's Kasumi-san doing? I don't think she meant to end up in Soul Society, y'know, since she isn't dead, and everything.

[Locked]

Me too. He says it's about the old man screwing with him pretty hard.
Tidus...this really sounds bad. I know Rock is strong enough to handle this, but I'm wondering if he knows it.

She's fine, last I've seen. And yeah, I have no idea what's going on with that.

[Locked]

He should. If there's anything he needs to know right now, is that he can take him, and that we're right behind him the whole way.

I'm home now, Kurosaki-kun! What about you? Are you um... fully healed?

I liked your ears and tail, they were cuter than mine!

Oh, yeah, yeah, I'm fine.

...Wait, cute? Aw, come on, Inoue! That tail was always in the way, and...and...and it made me look stupid.

That's good.

And it was! I really, really liked it, and I think I would... well, it wasn't stupid. I bet all the other guys were jealous!

It...no. Just no.

I kept knocking stuff over with that tail, though. I think you're just saying that because you liked brushing it.

So you remember that...

It's funny, I would think this was a dream but I remember everything so clearly, like it really happened. This isn't the first time you've experienced something like this?

You...no one explained the viruses to you?

No, I don't think so. Someone mentioned them to me so I made sure I got virus protection! But that's not what you mean, right?

Oh shit! Oh, man, I'm sorry, Inoue, I thought you knew!

The viruses, uh the ones the community causes, can make all sorts of trouble. Sometimes, like earlier? It makes people think they're someone else, or turn them into animals, or girls, or even make them think they're married.

Usually they only last a couple days, but most people around here have just learned to think of them like the weather. You know, sometimes the weather is bad, but there's not much you can do about it, so you deal as best you can.

Um...so...yeah. That stuff with you, and me having animal's ears, and tails was a virus. I don't get what it was about, or anything, though.

So that's what it was... It was kind of amazing, though! Like we were living completely different lives, and had different powers, and...

[And you got hurt because of me.]

But it was strange, huh? Who would have thought words could hold so much power.

Yeah, think so.

Actually, I think you got the best end of that deal.

It was weird being like that, though. Especially considerin' I was forced to tell the truth no matter what I was asked.

Aw! I wish I'd known the second part. Would have made interesting Truth or Dare.

No offense, but there are some things about me you're better off not knowin', Ichigo.

I kind of doubt the skeletons in your closet would scare me, man.

[ REALLY, NATE? THIS AGAIN? 8| ]

[Old habits die hard, man. 8|]

Dude you have no idea. I'd pop over there and give you an idea, but I really don't feel like gettin' kicked out of your head again.

Oi! Don't you try to pull that shit out on me, because you offered!

[ ...He's kind of insulted, actually. Good job, Nate. >8| ]

Yeah, well, I offered to help you get your memories back, and I get threatened to have my face peeled off by a black-n-white version of you!

...Wait, what? You actually, like, saw him?

Kinda? Could at least feel him. When I'm in someone's mind, I don't see things like I normally would, s'hard to explain.

Though I actually caught a glimpse of the guy the first time I tried reading you, I didn't figure out it was the same dude until recently, then put two and two together.

Not gonna ask, but... yeah. I've got enough things to worry about than to add that to the list.

...Oh. So, you basically tried to read my mind a long time ago, and couldn't.

'Tch. Well, if you don't want to know about other people's shit, maybe you shouldn't offer to look into their heads.
It's like inserting yourself into someone's life, then saying you don't want anything to do with them because you didn't like what you saw.

Hypocrite.

Yeah, at least I admit it, though. You try living in the world I did and not get at least somewhat paranoid about everyone that gets friendly with you.

No you don't! You admit that you come from a sucky world, and act like that gives you some sort of right to invade people's thoughts!

What the fuck, man?! When have I ever, ever, lied to you?! You can't go around acting like everyone ever is going to screw you over!

It did, and it still does, in a sense! I only did it once before, and that was a long time ago, when I first got here and was paranoid to the core.

What am I supposed to think - people get wind of what I can do and either try comin' to me like I'm some sort of goddamn messiah or want to use my powers for their own stupid ideas half the time. I'm no miracle worker and I sure as hell don't want to be someone's tool.

...Yeah, I call bullshit on that one. Being powerful doesn't give you the right to decide what people can think.

And, anyway, what does it matter if someone wants to use you as some messed up tool? You just don't do it if that's the case.

[ Oh, Ichigo. If only you were far enough along in your canon. YOU MAY BE SINGING A DIFFERENT TUNE, LATER L-LOL. ]

I don't try to, Ichigo. That's something I've sworn off doing since I left New York - I'm not gonna force people to think what I want them to. It's bad enough dealing with fallout in one sense.

And it's not that simple, you know that! For all my power, I'm only human, and a teenager, at that. I'm still tryin' to figure out what the hell I'm gonna do -

[He cuts off suddenly. Tell him about that or not.]

...

No, it is that simple. It might suck, and might be hard to deal with, but it's that simple.

...If you don't want to talk about stuff, you don't have to. Just don't try to pull that "my world sucks, so that's my excuse for treating everyone like they're all out to get me."

Whatever you say.

I'm not trying to, but that's the best explanation I can give for why I'm the way I am right now.

Than and I don't exactly have a whole hell of a lot of time left.

[ Wary about you, now, Mr. Cryptic-speak. ]

The hell are you talking about "not much time"?

[Well, cat's out of the bag now. Joy. 8|]

I'm dying, Ichigo. Been dying since the day I was "born". This power that I've got? It'll kill me before I turn 21. My body can't contain all of it.

...How...how can you know that for sure? It's your power. How can it be killing you?

Because no human should be able to harness the power I can. My original purpose? Was to be used as a living weapon against the tyrant that ruled my homeworld.

I wasn't expected to have a long shelf life.

That's why I'm so paranoid, not just because of the circumstances I grew up in, but also because I'm worried that I might end up not only killing myself, but a lot of innocent people along the way.

[ There's a long pause while Ichigo thinks this over. On one hand, he gets what you're saying, Nate. But, on the other, that sounds like a little slice of hell. ]

...Going through any life, no matter how long or short it is, all alone is no way to be.

I mean...what's the point of your existence if you don't leave behind some good stuff? People who knew you, who you helped out. Memories of great things. Knowing you don't have much time should mean you live every day you've got to the fullest.

Live well. Smile as much as you can, and when you do die, do it with a smile.

[ A wise man once said the same to Ichigo, and he thinks it sounds like good advice. ]

Believe me, I'm tryin' to help as much as I can. But sometimes my "help" does nothing but hurt. I've seen that happen the hard way.
