.. Unfortunately, Oreo is more perceptive than her other half. She was already starting to get a little skeptical.
" .. Right.
I am glad that I do not have to go through this explanation. "
.. It gets old after a while..
Why does being open and honest have to be so tiring?
Soup, not soup.
I'm taking it all.
I'm stealing everyone's food out of spite now
( .. Catching it )
...
This is a drink, how is this food?
.. I was having FOOD-!!
( .. DEPLOYING THE METAL CLAWS. )
( ... GOING FOR THE FACE!! )
.....
( Claws broke. Oh. )
.. AYE I WAS EATING THAT-
( just sorta dangling there )
( smug lil smirk on her face )
.. Ouch.
( having a bowl of soup )
.. An ear twitch.
" .. That is a strange way of putting it. Who came up with this nickname? "
Seems she bought it, at least..?
Question mark?
" No. It is not related to my semblance.
.....
It is complicated. "
Her ears flatten..
" I still do not trust this..
There must be a better way. I believe heroes could do more good if they were not bound to a company.
And in the chance that they did go rogue, better heroes than them could put a stop to it. "
" I see your point.
However.. What would happen if leadership were to change or become corrupt?
What if the person who gets to decide what these heroes do, does not have the public's best interest in mind?
.. Then we have a much different probablem. "
" .. That is disappointing... "
The heroes in her world just get free reign once they graduate..
" Why is it set up this way? Why are they not able to choose what they want to do? Surely if they were accepted into this company, they are trusted, right? "
the next time tyrian throws a yarn ball in my direction i am kiIIing him i do not care what mother says.
assuming you sense my other soul, somehow. Is this a semblance of yours? "
She wasn't aware yet that Alice just wasn't from Remnant. Hopefully she learned a few of the terms by now.
Best to be honest though. She can obviously see something is off, and lying about it could just cause problems.
Oreo glances down at herself, then back at Alice.
( 💭 .. Does she sense auras? )
( 💭 Maybe.. But we still just have one Aura, don't we? )
( 💭 Yes. But perhaps it runs deeper than simply sensing our Aura.. )
( 💭 .. Yeah, this is your weird ass territory.
You're dealing with this. )
" I'm ->
" Well, we are not going anywhere.
You are stuck with us. "
...
" Deal with it. "
She was trying to be funny.
But it was a pretty flat delivery.
... Which.. Might make it funnier?
" Whether it is instant or not depends on how it is done. If it is done at all.
If my soul were to be obliterated, then yes, it would be instant.
But this body belongs to Mel and her alone.
Same goes for all of my other lives. "
" .... Eventually. Yes.
But everybody is supposed to d!e eventually.
This is not supposed to happen. I am supposed to be mortal, like you.
.. And invading people's bodies like this?
That is not right.
Even if I did want to Iive forever, this is unethical. "
.//
MEEEEE
.. Maybe.
......
( wiping bIood from her nose )
" Thank you.
I have died so many times that it is more of an annoyance than a fear of mine. "
....
" I wish the cycle would stop one day. "
<-- Ears are flattened
" It has been out of my control for a few thousand years now. "
" Mel did.
We eventually got used to each other.
.. Most of them hate it at first, actually.
It is not something I can help, though. "
" That is how it works, yes.
Every time I d!e, my soul is thrown into a new body.
My personality eventually merges with that body's host, and then the cycle repeats. "
Laying down.
Bed acquired.
" And also my new body. "
