As so many people ask questions, advertise, or whatever on this thing I figure I have nothing to lose doing the same.

You see I have a particular problem. A pest problem. I'm looking for creative ways to rid myself of this little bug that seems super intent on sticking around. Normally I wouldn't bother with something like this but my usual methods of getting rid of unwanted things?

Well. It's not working.

[ Hmmm. Van actually thinks that he gets it. ]

Same person. Different paths. Both pulled from your respected timelines?

I suppose killing Ventus here wouldn't do me any good. We likely wouldn't be able to merge completely with the limitations on our own magic.

yes. we were summoned to the same place by the same master.

and if i had killed caster, i wouldn't be where i am now. fight and struggle so you're forced to see what could happen. get to a point of desperation...it took me finally caring for someone else to make a truce possible. that would have be impossible before coming here.

a fight is what sparked an understanding about "our" existence...it might do the same for you.

[ Celts are good at fighting, not so good at talking. ]

Are you about to give me the "power of friendship" speech? That's kind of what it sounds like you're getting at.
"Someone to protect?" Really?

[curruid_coinchenn]

no, don't be ridiculous. i told you a fight is what led to our understanding.

[darkcharge]

[ But then what's with all this other nonsense!!! ]

Yet you decided to just get along with each other anyway? No more bad blood between you?

[curruid_coinchenn]

[ It's so complicated. It's so fucking complicated. Berserker almost regrets saying anything about this because of how complicated it is. So he decides to just leave out anything about his Bonded making him feel emotions again and his friendship with his lighter side making him seek out a truce. It's simpler if he boils it down what started it, even if it's not entirely what ended their animosity. ]

the best way to understand someone is by fighting them. a wise woman told me that and it's never been wrong.

[darkcharge]

[ Yeah probably for the best not to say anything like that. Feeling emotions - someone else's emotions - isn't really high on Van's list of things that he wants to be able to do again. ]

I'll give it a shot. If anything giving him a deserved beating will put me in a better mood.

[curruid_coinchenn]

[ It wasn't high on Berserker's list, either, but it sure happened and there's nothing he can do to reverse it. Oh well!! ]

good. i'm curious to see how it turns out for you.

[darkcharge]

Tell me who you are and I'll let you know.

[ Also this hasn't been a horrible conversation. A touch confusing, but not horrible! ]

[curruid_coinchenn]

berserker ciarán cú. and you are?

[darkcharge]

It's Vanitas.

[curruid_coinchenn]

well, vanitas, i'll be waiting to hear how it goes.
