Ah, if you went for the peg you'd match one of my other selves, y'know? There's a mirror world out there where I ended up with a pirate Syndicate. Hook for a hand and everything.
[ oh. well. that's... nice. he looks down at that and shifts his hand to place one over it. yeah. ]
A mirror world where you were a pirate. [ his voice trails off, but he chuckles a bit. ] ... well. I don't mind the current Gregor... I am actually quite fond. But I am curioius about the others if you'd speak about them?
[he leaves his hand where it is, when io covers it with his own.]
They vary an awful lot. I've got a couple who're decently high-ranking in Syndicates, a couple who are in Fixer Associations... then there's the one who's a butcher. Genuinely a butcher. Not a fan of him.
A butcher, huh. You... have a lot of interesting yous... that are out there in the universe, hm?
[ interesting. he seems to mull this over and just bumps shoulders quietly with him. the stage lights go out dimly, and somewhere from behind, backlighting. someone is running lines.

Each one of mine is all the same - if not weaker than the last for their predecessor's mistakes.
Yeah. It's... different from what you've mentioned before, I mean he actually... butchers people as food. Sometimes the memories stick a while after using an Identity. Makes me feel a little sick, after I've been him.
[he shakes his head, trying not to linger on that, and just rests his head on his shoulder.]
Think yours must be stronger in a way, too, for the experience. They've all come back from more and more.
Depends. Usually it's because the manager feels like we need his experience more than my other selves-- different tactics for different fights, y'know? His experience isn't usually necessary, but everything has its applications.
[dante's not the type who'd make them use identities they dislike unless they're genuinely useful. at least r.b. gregor isn't as strong as n corp sinclair... poor sinclair.]
It's going to be a rough week for everyone. I'll be in great company.
[ looking at him head on now. ]
Metis will be taking care of me. I think Adra would rip my own leg off and beat me with it before she allowed me to take care of it myself somehow... haha.

Why would you have to... be him in the first place?
[ hate that. ]
What kind of circumstance requires that?

Making choices you can live with - it's not easy.

[he's quiet a few moments, before-]
Hey. I know it's gonna be a rough week for you, but... give me some sign when you're done, all right? I wanna come see you after.

[love that catboy.]
You know how it is, though. Sometimes you'd rather check in yourself.
... some things I'd rather hear from you, too.
[not from the profile updates.]
no subject
Hey now...
[ a laugh. ]
Well, I'll see about getting what rest I can so you can have that.

[ELBOWS HIM.]
... but if that's what it takes to talk you into getting any sleep, then I'll use it.

I'm going to be running about quite a bit this week between my regular duties and the extra procedures.
So. Just... don't be nervous if it takes a while, alright?
no subject
[sighing, as he shifts to lean against him a little more heavily.]
Let people pick things up for you, if they can. Everyone's gonna want to help where they're able.
no subject
[ lets him lean heavily, leans back so they are just counterbalancing each other's lean comfortably. ]
... I will dole out what I can, but some of it must remain my job. Alright?
no subject
[he gets it, and some things really can't be shared, but--
divide the rest of it. at least some of it. that's all he asks.]
