...

What happened to you?

[fortuneforyourdisaster]

From what I understand there is only one way to get here.

[unmaskedlizard]

[flatly]

And what happened? Who killed you? How did you live until now?

[fortuneforyourdisaster]

I died. Someone from the Order is my best guess. And as I've wanted to.

Mind answering the same yourself?

[unmaskedlizard]

If you want specifics you'll have to give them in return, Tyki.

[fortuneforyourdisaster]

There is a conflict going on. One side, played by you and your friends, and the other, the Boss and his horde, try to kill each other. Sometimes they succeed. This was one of those times.

As for who exactly I can't say for certain. I didn't get a good look. But if makes you feel better, it wasn't you. I haven't seen you in years, boy.

[unmaskedlizard]

...

[mrrg...]

Years... Really?...

[fortuneforyourdisaster]

Yes. Looks like both sides started putting their all into it.

But this isn't what you remember, is it?

[unmaskedlizard]

No. My world played out very differently. Gods appeared to us and offered us a wish in exchange for our memories and effort, and both you and I were among those who accepted.

[fortuneforyourdisaster]

[Wait. This sound familiar!]

[fortuneforyourdisaster]

So you are with him.

And the Order killed you?

[unmaskedlizard]

Yes. Because of this. Among other things, I'm sure.

[AND THEN allen walker shifted to Black Mode on purpose.]

[fortuneforyourdisaster]

[There is confusion because as he remembers Allen and the Fourteenth didn't play together nicely. When they played together at all that is. Since when would Allen...]

[fortuneforyourdisaster]

Who or what exactly are you?

Or did you make the same wish? Power without nagging in your brain.

[unmaskedlizard]

My name is Allen Walker, thank you very much. I've never been anyone or anything else.

This is thanks to a goddess from that place, who splintered myself and my Noah together. And there was too much chaos when I stole my wish from those damn Gods - it wasn't granted like Slick's was. I meant to sever the Noah family from their hosts and break the cycle. Nea has no hold over me. ... But he is still alive in me too.

[fortuneforyourdisaster]

You're still soft, boy. Spending your time finding ways out like that. You really are something.

Ah, but here you are blatantly showing yourself as part of the family. Should I be proud you were able to overcome with the help of a goddess? Or should I be unhappy that you've tucked the Fourteenth deep within your mind?

[unmaskedlizard]

Please, feel free to think it was a "soft" option.

[changes back to white mode]

Should you be hanging onto something like sides after you're dead?

[fortuneforyourdisaster]

For family dinners but nothing more than that.

[Honestly, though. No clue what he's going to do.]

I suppose that only leaves you and me unless someone hasn't decided to show themselves. And I suppose he can come, too, as a former member of this little club.

[unmaskedlizard]

Brilliant.



We became friends, you know. Able to meet in different circumstances, with no war. We played a lot of poker together.

[fortuneforyourdisaster]

Memories gotten out of order, was it? And I am glad for you. Both of you.

... Did you ever let him win?

[unmaskedlizard]

Just a little. We even got our Noah back around the same time. They're a "memory" too after all.

Why the hell would I do that?

[fortuneforyourdisaster]

That's like saying Innocence is merely a 'weapon'. But what happened when you got them back?

My, just seeing if some things don't change.
