003 [Voice]

[fabrecation]

How do you get someone to stop following you everywhere you go?

Comments

[trueknight]

So what? If he's being annoying and telling him to stop doesn't work, then that's what he gets. [... Wait. Why does this voice seem familiar. Maybe he should actually look at the book and see who he's talking to at some point ...]

[fabrecation]

Maybe... It's so weird, though. He's never been this... you know, like this back at home!

[trueknight]

I guess it's because of the different setting, or something. [Looking at the journal now.

...

Giving the journal a blank look now. ... He must be seeing things. The voice isn't as gruff, the way of speaking is different, and his hair isn't as long, but he definitely looks like-- ... weird. After that, he's going to try a quick topic railroading in the hopes that Luke won't notice the "wait a sec--" look.] Who is this guy, anyway?

[fabrecation]

Maybe... [And he did notice that, and he frowns a little as if to ask what's wrong, but then drops it at that question. He'd probably just tell him he met him before, or something, and Luke's found that he hates that.]

My best friend, Guy. So don't tell me to kill him. [Like those other guys up there.]

[trueknight]

Oh, it's Guy? [/smirk] Nah, I wouldn't tell you to kill him. Maybe knock him out, but that's about it.

[fabrecation]

His head's too hard to do that.

... You know him?

[trueknight]

Yeah. I can't say I know him all that well, but we do talk from time to time.

[fabrecation]

Well... It's nice to see Guy have friends other than our little group. I'm Luke!

[trueknight]

Luke, huh ... [... Hrrrrm. He's definitely heard that name before around Luceti. Doesn't really remember ever meeting the guy, but--] I'm Yuri. Nice meeting you, even if you already seem a little familiar to me.

[fabrecation]

Familiar?

[trueknight]

Yeah. It's probably just my mind playing tricks on me or something, but you look almost exactly like some guy I know. [ ... ] ... Not as grumpy-looking as he is, though.

[fabrecation]

[... Oh you've got to be kidding.]

Asch, huh?

[trueknight]

Hm? ... Yeah, him. [... Then maybe he isn't going crazy. Well, that's nice to know.]

[fabrecation]

I-It's not your mind playing tricks, I'm... [ffff, how to say this. He's never actually said what he was to anyone who didn't already know in Luceti before...]

[trueknight]

What? You're his twin or something, right? [God, dude, how hard is it to just say that? ... Unless this has something to do with that ... thing Asch once mentioned. Hm.]

[fabrecation]

Not... really. I'm his replica.

[There. He said it. Now Yuri can shun him or something.]

[trueknight]

Oh. [Oh yeah, that's what it was. Replicas. Okay. So, like, twins that aren't actually twins. Same same.] Well, that explains that, I guess.

[fabrecation]

[... Wait, what?]

... You don't mind?

[trueknight]

I don't see any reason why I should.

[fabrecation]

But I'm a replica... [THIS DOESN'T MAKE ANY SEEENSE]

[trueknight]

So what? [YOUR POINT, LUKE. HE'S NOT SEEING IT.]

[fabrecation]

So... [HOW TO EXPLAIN THIS.]

... ehhhh, actually-- /edits

[trueknight]

[... Might as well mention one tidbit. Luke seems a bit stuck there, after all.] ... Asch already told me about replicas a while ago. So it's not like I don't understand what they are, or anything like that.

[fabrecation]

[... Wait, so Asch told Yuri what replicas are? And Yuri still isn't batting an eye over this? This is so... different.]

And you're still... okay with it?

[trueknight]

Well, yeah ... I've got no reason not to be.
