Bourne:
When I was sure nobody was watching me, I put a hand to my head, feeling the beginnings of a headache coming on.
*You know, you seem to call Ty an idiot a lot, but I haven't seen him disobey a direct order from-*
)Yeah, after he rushed on ahead and took on a few dozen Geth solo, he straight up told Shepard not to give him shit for that again, so he's done more than that. Also, will you turn off the bloody Psy Song?! I get it, alright?(
*You had to know that daring her to hit you was a bad idea.*
)Yeah, except I knew I could block it, then she'd swing again, and I'd block that too... I figured she'd go for a headbut or a kick to the crotch next, so I was prepared for those. I didn't take into account the bloody tazer everyone seems to have around here.(
I glanced down at my own arms. )And now I've got zero chance of getting an omni-blade or two from Ty.(
*I don't think he'd hold it against you. Give it about a week. Also, you're welcome.*
)For what?(
*If I hadn't taken over and saved you from saying something else that was stupid Cecelia would probably have taken that sniper rifle and castrated you with it.*
^Could you quiet down? I can hear you.^
)Hmm, well Cecelia can't, so let me just say I hate you now and forever, and if you try to pull rank on me, I'll slit your throat when you're asleep.(
*He's joking. I think.*
^One, take a chill pill... scratch that. Take the whole bottle. Two, I would be happy to hook you up with an omni-blade. Not like it's a big deal.^
I blocked them both out and went over to my locker, gearing up in record time. Mostly because I was trying not to say how much I hadn't been joking...and I was also trying not to go fanboy asking for the flaming version of the omni-blade.
"Bourne, get your ass in here!" Cecillia yelled at me, and I bit back a response as I got in, seeing that Ty, Tali, and Ashley were already seated and ready to go.
*What was it Raptor said? You'd make a great soldier if you could learn to shut your damn mouth? Maybe go with that advice with her.*
^He's like deadpool. The Merc with a Mouth.^
)Hero, if you could block Iron out, please see if you can do that to him. It's bad enough having to ignore his real voice. If I have to start ignoring it in my head...also, how the fuck did you end up with this weird link anyway?(
^I don't know. I was just sitting there across from you and I could hear you in the back of my skull. I tried putting an entire metal floor in the way but it didn't work. And if you could block it both ways I would be very happy. It hurts my feelings you are talking about me behind my back but at least I can pretend it's not happening if I can't hear it... or think it... fuck I don't know. Just block it both ways please^
I put a hand to my forehead, my start of a headache having bloomed into a full blown one. )And quickly.(
*Hang on... Also, Bourne, shouldn't you get those restraints-*
"Dropping in 5, 4, 3, 2,-"
)Oh fuck my life.( I put up a barrier as we started falling, but ended up eagle spread on the ceiling.
After what felt like ages, the gravity shifted and I slammed face first onto the floor. )Argh, I hate this fucking Tank! I thought I was done doing that after it shot through the conduit and embedded itself in the bloody Citadel!(
*Alright, hang on, let me see if I can block him out. No promises.*
I slowly got back to my feet. "I'll take the guns."
Ty was already in the seat and staring at the console, "Uh, yeah, I don't want to just hit random buttons. I only drove this thing."
*Uh oh.*
)What do you mean, 'Uh oh''?(
"Alright, Bourne, you get guns- and make sure you actually have your seatbelt on this time." Cecelia said, a bit amused.
I forced a smile. "It's way more fun dropping without them." Ty slid out of the seat, and I took over, strapping myself in before taking a look at the controls. It looked the exact same.
*When I was blocking Iron out for you, it was because of...I won't bore you with the details, but basically it only worked because it was in the same body.*
)Shit.(
^God, your universe has some weird rules.^
)This coming from the man who can literally turn himself into Master Chief, who had a friend who could turn a water gun into a bazooka, and a third guy who used the Mako like a giant transformer!(
*Oh, wait, I get how to do it now.*
Ty only got out half a sentence before it was cut off. *There. Weak, but it means unless we both want him in here, and he does too, he can't hear us.*
)...and you couldn't have done that before making me think I'd be sharing a brain with him for the next several weeks and almost giving me a heart attack!?(
I saw motion on the display for the guns, and turned them to face the gunship currently moving overhead. Well, at least these guys give me someone to take it out on.
*There is one other minor thing.*
)Which is?(
A siege pulse impacted nearby, and I opened fire.
*It can wait. Just focus on killing things.*
)That, I can do.(
I didn't really focus on where we were driving, more just paying attention to the Geth and making sure they died.
As I was mowing down a pair of rocket troopers, it occurred to me that I hadn't been really jostled around in my restraints even once this entire trip, and I glanced up at the driver's compartment.
Wait, so Cecelia is actually a good driver?...I think that may actually be the oddest thing that's happened to me in the past few weeks...)No offense Hero.(
She didn't deign to reply to that.
Shepard hit a few button and looked ahead, "Five-hundred meters to target."
I swiveled the guns forward and saw the site, along with the three turrets Tali had let at me last time. I opened fire, trying to take at least one of them down, but Shepard swerved into the side passage before I could. I made do taking down the solitary one that was there and then the multitude of geth waiting for us.
"You know, I hate this tank, but I really love the rockets." I commented as I took down a group of them. "And-" I mowed down another two, and checked the radar. "I think that should be all of them. Unless there's any in the buildings."
I glanced back at Ty who had a crazy look in his eye, "God, did anyone else feel that wave?"
*You know what he's talking about?*
)No clue.(
"Ty, Bourne, you stay here and guard our flanks." Cecelia said, getting up from her seat. "Corporal, you're in charge. Don't screw it up."
A smile crossed Ty's face but it wasn't his usual one. It was like something was changing right in front of him and he loved it. He even stayed quiet, which was a bit worrying.
I took it as a bad sign that my headache suddenly got a little worse.
I waited until Shepard, Tali, and Ashley were gone, then I double checked to make sure the comm channel wasn't open. "Okay, what are you talking about?"
Ty stood up and dropped into the driver's seat, "I don't know, but it feels great. It's like I just had an energy drink with no crash."
"Yeah, good for you. Meanwhile, I'm now officially the lowest ranking person here, I've got the knowledge that my least favorite person is about to make a reappearance, and my head feels ready to split open like a ripe watermelon!"
*Then you're really not going to like what I have to tell you.*
I put a hand up to forestall Ty's response, my other hand going to my forehead. )What?(
*Back when I took over your body, something felt off about the biotics.*
I looked at Ty. "Back at Chora's den, didn't Danny say something about how sometimes it'd be more like your world, and other times more like mine?"
*You think it has something to do with-*
)Well there's also the fact I got electrocuted, but it could be either thing.(
"I think it's the universal sway. It's leaning toward me."
"Yeah, I think so...also, since there's no witness right now-" I activated my omni-tool, and held my arm out towards him. "Any chance you give me that incendiary blade?"
He reached over and without looking flicked my omni-tool. It lit up and changed to red, then fire began to circle the ring until it got bigger and several fiery blades shot out the side. They began to spin, rather than remaining stationary, and I had to admit it was cooler than anything in the game. More for slashing than stabbing- but I already had more than enough knives for that anyway.
"How about a badass flaming buzzsaw?",He asked rhetorically, sounding more insane than before.
I looked at him, the buzzsaw not quiiiite lined up with his neck, but in that general area if my hand shot forward quickly enough. "Are you feeling alright? Because you're kinda talking like you're the one that got tazed."
Ty looked over and smiled, "I can feel all the data in this entire map Jason. Even Liara. I could teleport us their right now and have the mission over with. Can't do it though, Shepard would ask how nanites could do that. But, I know how to have fun with the battlemaster at the top of the elevator."
I gestured to my new favorite omnitool app. "Oh, I can think of a few ways myself. And I already called dibs on killing him."
His ear moved a little and then something in his look changed, "You wouldn't stand a chance. You can't use biotic charge or singularity."
*...I think he's right. I was going to tell you before, but I figured you were busy with the Geth.*
I grimaced. "Some sort of balancing system? Like how my reality warping shorts out your armor more quickly?"
He nodded but stayed silent.
*Let him back you up on that one.*
)I handled myself quite well long before I could charge.(
*Last time, a singularity was the only reason he didn't blow your head off- and you still ended up in a coma!*
)I was an idiot and didn't know quite what he could heal from. This time-(
*This time, you're going to have backup, and you're going to stay on your feet...or would you rather listen to Justin Beiber until we get there?*
"So, your plan for the Krogan?"
Ty laughed, "Hahahehehe, You will see when we get there. But just to be sure, you might want to turn your mag boots on once we get on the elevator."
"Great. And here I thought I might have a mission for once where I didn't want to puke from machinery shaking me around."
^Hero, want out of Bourne's head?^
)I thought you just said we both had to want him in here?(
*Must have to do with the biotics being messed with.*
^Nope, somebody wanted me in here. That, or she tried to get into my head.^
*What exactly did you mean by-*
Cecelia's voice cut off Hero's. "Alright, the gates are open. Moving to secure the other building."
I glanced at the monitor, and saw gates lowering as the group moved into the other building. "Tali, I want to see your skills in action. Think you can get this one open?"
I looked over at Ty. "Uh, isn't that the gate that-" It slid open a moment later. "The turrets are behind?" )Oh come on, that's the second time Tali's done that!(
Ty slapped his hand on my console and green electronic veins crossed over it. "Fire now!"
I took him at his word and launched a rocket at the middle turret. It fired off and split into three rockets that targeted each of the turrets respectively. Ty pulled his hand away and sat back in his chair.
"That was close."
"...yeah, last time this happened, the Mako was literally on fire, and I was about 20 seconds from getting blown the hell up. That wasn't even midrange."
Cecelia's voice came over the com. "Nice work with those turrets Bourne."
"Uh...thanks?"
"...It was actually Ty, wasn't it?"
Ty pulled up his comm, "I just changed the missile, Bourne targeted the turrets."
"It looked more like they had heat seeking." She said as she walked out of the building back towards us.
I looked at Ty and shrugged, hoping he'd know what to say.
*We both did it Commander.*
"We both did it Commander." I echoed Hero.
"God, you sound like such a total pussy when you put it like that." She said as she climbed in and up to the driver's seat.
)...you know, it's really scary that Iron probably could have suggested something that would have worked.(
*Do you really believe that?*
)I have no idea. That's the even scarier part.(
The mako started moving again, and I turned my attention back to the guns. We hit a bump at the first tunnel gate when the colossus and three armatures caught us right in the open.
"Ty, are the missiles still-"
"Nope, too much concentration to keep them that way. Need to focus on other things. Can't be distracted with petty things such as ammunition."
"Yeah, I figured as much." I said, firing a missile while letting the machine gun cool down. It caused the Colossus to stumble slightly, and I took the advantage to fire at its head. I saw the shields holding, but its inability to see hindered it, and its next pulse was nowhere near us. My rocket, on the other hand, blew its head clean off.
^Let's see, her file is just trapped inside of his so I could... is this still on? Shit-^
I responded by blasting the sound of nails on a chalkboard directly into his brain, and blasting away an amature with another rocket. In response, he began blaring the Hamster Dance back at me.
)Touche(
Cecelia was definitely making it easier for me to aim than Raptor. She'd stay stationary until they launched their pulses at us, then hit the jets and let them go under us. Whereas Raptor tended to just swerve all over the place and I had to rely more on luck.
*Will you idiots stop it?*
^But I like this song. It has a synthesizer play scheme that matches a lot of the code here.^
)...( *...*
^It's a User thing.^
)Tell you what. If we somehow manage to avoid being stabbed, shot, or burnt to a crisp during this mission, I"ll gladly let you do all that all day afterwards. Until then, this is making it really hard to aim, and I'd rather not get blown up before I make them blow up!(
^Okay, it just will take me longer to exchange data and transf... forget it. I was just thinking on how to extract files and... shutting up.^
I imagined the last rocket trooper had Ty's face as I filled it full of holes.
Ty:
I was running countless possibilities through my mind. Even in my universe, I never had this kind of power. Some things I could never have done in my universe came easy now. Like, the rockets that I transformed. Anything was possible, and that meant I was in full control of the ground.
Still, it was hard to decide what I could do and couldn't. Sure I showed Shepard that I could manipulate living tissue and machines but that was it. If I did anything else, she might say that there was no way nanites could do that.
I was pulled from my calculations as the Mako came to a stop and Shepard turned to us. "Okay, we need to walk from here. Looks like the dig site is about a quarter-click up the ridge."
"And chances are, the Geth are going to be waiting for us." Ashley added.
I placed my hand on the hatch and opened it without typing a code. Now I was in a hurry; if the sway moved from my favor before the end of this mission, I might not be able to let Bourne in on the news about Hero.
"Williams, you and are going to hang back with our sniper rifles. Ty, do you have any armor for mid or short range?"
The same feeling I had after I climbed out of Saren was coming over me. "Why would I do that? It would take too much concentration."
"Didn't seem to bother you back on Eden Prime." Ashley commented.
"How would you even know?" Jason commented, assault rifle cradled in his arms. "Did he undo that memory thing when I wasn't around?"
I noticed what Bourne just said, "Yes, how?"
"Can you morph your armor, or am I sending Bourne out in front?" Cecilia interrupted impatiently.
I snapped and put the Inferno armor on from Mass Effect 2, "This will burn enemies that get too close."
Bourne's voice was suddenly buzzing at the back of my skull. )Doesn't that thing just increase running speed and power damage?(
^Not with the adjustments I made.^
"Then he better go ahead of me." He said aloud. "My biotics are a little...off at the moment. Probably from getting shocked earlier."
Cecelia laughed, "Yeah, right."
"No, I'm serious. The...nanites that enhance my abilities got a little...it boils down to me losing a couple techniques- mainly the one I use to get in close, and singularity."
I decided to get out and start ahead without them. So many things were buzzing in my mind that I was almost too distracted to feel something in the back of my skull again. It was strange but then I knew it was Hero.
*Didn't she say not to go ahead without her?*
^Too many variables and I don't know how much longer I will be able to ascertain with this level of control.^ I walked through the crevice and started up the hill.
)Do you even know what the word ascertain means? Because I think you're using it wrong. Also, I have to agree with Hero on not rushing in without the rest of- Okay, she's having me and Tali go in behind you now anyway.(
A sniper shot flew by my head and I jumped into cover ^Ascertain: To find out definitely. And I am trying to find out how far this level of control can go.^
)Why? Because unless you can turn that Armature into a drone or something-(
I made sure that I wasn't in sight of the crew and jammed my hand into the rock face. I quickly manipulated it to a glitch and pulled myself in. I quickly formed another one under the Geth that had the sniper tower and popped up underneath it. After that, it only took a quick yank to its central wire to put it out of commission.
^I just found out that I can create the teleporting glitches with my own free will when in this state.^
)Okay, then- ah shit( His 'voice' cut off suddenly and I heard the sounds of gunfire from back the way I'd come
I grabbed the Lancer III off my back and aimed it in the direction of the Mako. The Geth were coming upon the team from the small valley that was between us.
I aimed carefully and took the Geth shields down just enough that they wouldn't know that I was hiding in their sniper post and Shepard and Ashley could one-shot them at any time.
)Sorry, one of them got a little too close- but I have to say, this omni-buzzsaw kicks all kinds of ass. Hah, no more legs for this one.(
*Maybe you should both focus on the fighting? Because if one of you gets killed because you couldn't tune out the conversation-*
)No complaints from me.(
^Hero, I am right now in a state of higher thinking. I can divert focus to multiple tasks. Exactly, thirty-three percent of my brain is focused on shooting. Two percent on this talk we are having, fifty-five percent on making sure that everything is going correctly, and the last ten percent is running trial and errors for if I was to remove you from Bourne's head.^
I pulled out my omni-tazers and pulled an Assassin's Creed on a geth Destroyer.
*What was that last one?*
)Not everyone here is as good as multitasking!( A few distinct shotgun blasts followed his words. )Especially at close quarters while his brain feels like it's about to explode!(
I looked over at the team and then ran the code for the primary geth in this level. ^Relax, that was the last of them. Now, we just hike up to the armature and take it down with extreme prejudice.^
)You're kidding, right? These little ones for some reason are taking at least 4 shots to take down their bloody shields, let alone the units themselves. And you think a big one is going to be easy?(
^Only if I get inside it and rip it apart from the inside out.^ I finished it at that and met up with Shepard as she began walking up the hill.
"You okay Ty? You seem kind of... on."
)Sure, ask the one that didn't take a shotgun blast at point blank range.( He projected to me, walking up behind her.
I raised an eyebrow to Shepard, "I believe that the nanites that you destroyed or damaged in Bourne have retreated to mine for repair. Therefore, I am working at a major reaction spike."
She smacked me in the back of the head as she walked past me. "English."
"I am doing better, cause Bourne is doing worse."
"Hey, everyone has off days!" He interjected, then clutched at his forehead.
I walked on to Shepard as she came to the excavation site. Just like in the cutscenes, a geth hopper dropped down in front of us and then leaped out of the way as the armature fell. Shepard, Ashley, Tali, and Bourne all ran to the conveniently placed boxes while I dodged over behind one of the nearby pillars.
"Shepard, I got a plan, but you need to take care of the geth troops before I can do it!" I barked over the comm.
Shepard blasted one with her sniper, "Okay, just don't get yourself killed over there! I have a feeling Tweedle Dee would be crushed!"
A glowing blue stalker was pulled from the nearby wall and slammed into the ground. "Only cause he owes me money." Bourne replied, and I saw him lean out of cover long enough to throw a knife at one of the rocket troopers- the only damage inflicted was a mild scratch along the shoulder.
)Yeah, nanites or not, something's seriously affecting me right now. I should have been able to easily send that right into its head.
*It could just as easily be Iron as it is him.*
)If it was, it'd also explain why I'm more ticked about it than I'd have thought I'd be.(
Shepard blasted the geth and that just left the hoppers to deal with. My time was coming up quick so I began preparing. I grabbed two grenades from my belt and checked them for explosive damage II. They both had it so I placed them on my from pockets to make it easier to grab them. Next I snatched Shepard's spare sniper rifle off my back and held it by the barrel. God, I know she is going to kill me.
I gave a shout of joy as she bullseyed the last geth hopper and I sprang into action. I charged the Armature straight on and it locked on me immediately. With a quick roll to the side I got out of its sights so it had to reposition.
It brought its head in low and activated it's machine gun but it was too late. I smashed the sniper rifle into the side of it's head. The blow screwed up its optics so I could grab onto the neck. Taking ahold of its central neck wire I yanked it out and threw the two grenades down it.
I dodged away and turned to everyone, making sure to give my smile before hitting the detonator and blowing the armature up from the inside out. "That was for style points."
"Did I see you hit it with- I told you that if someone else carried that thing, it'd be used as a club." Bourne directed the last bit to Cecelia, standing just outside her punching range.
She began walking toward me but I shook my head, "I honestly wouldn't have thought of it unless Bourne pointed it out."
"With all due respect Corporal, that's complete bullshit." His eyes were on Shepard the whole time, and his omni-saw was active.
I decided to take the fall and walked over to Shepard with my hands up. "Fine hit me."
Bourne came in close to see the beating I would get. She raised her fist up to hit me in the face, but immediately turned and gave the shot to Bourne's face instead. He leaped back enough that it missed him by inches.
"You didn't honestly expect me to not see that-" he threw himself to the side as she threw another punch, but it was just a feint and other hand hit him square in the jaw, sending him staggering back.
"He's right. He never would have thought of it unless you pointed it out, Private Bourne."
)Remember Ty, you have to sleep a lot more than I do. And there's a lot that can happen during that time.(
^You know what, I tried to take the shot for you. You came in too close. Plus, I think she likes hitting you more.^
*Will you two stop arguing like children every five minutes?! I don't even have a corporeal head and it's still somehow giving me a headache.*
^I can fix that. The corporeal head thing.^
)At this point in time, bad idea.(
*Why?*
)You just snapped at us, and I'm even more pissed off than normal. At this rate, Iron's going to be back completely by the time we get to Liara, if not sooner. And if he pulls him out instead of you-(
*If he's able to do that to an Armature, wouldn't now be the best time to go up against Iron? We might be able to put him down now.*
)Unless his own reality warping pushes things back into our court and Ty's armor turns back to normal again.(
We all began walking into the caves, with me leading the way. ^Um, he's from your universe remember? Mine is in full swing here.^
*Maybe, but how are you going to explain Bourne suddenly having an even uglier version of himself leap out of his head, accompanied by a...did you seriously call me a wet dream, or was Bourne kidding about that?*
^011010010010000001100011011000010110111000100000011010110110100101101100011011000010000001100010011101010111010000100000011110010110010101110011^
)You know, I was sorta annoyed hearing about your version, because off all the perks like being able to morph armor and guns and shit, but just now I'm not so disappointed because it means I'm not a complete nerd like you guys.(
^What?^
)You just spit out so many ones and zeros even I couldn't memorize them all. You could've just lied and said no or manned up and said yes.(
^No, I didn't. I said I will kill him and sorry but yes, I did call you his wet dream.^
*It sounded like binary on our end. And if you do let me out of here, I'll give fair warning now I may have to slap you for that.*
A few Geth popped out on our way to the elevator but Ashley and Shepard got headshots off on them before they would even make their clicking noises. ^Sorry about that, to be fair, you are more attractive than most of the other Shepard's people have made though.^
)More so than Cecelia?(
*You know I'm right here Bourne? And I could easily smack you with your own hand?*
)Anyway, she made a good point. How are nanites going to explain two whole people appearing out of nowhere?(
^If we can sneak away from the group, we can lie and say that Bourne got ahold of his squad from the ship that crashed on Eden Prime and told them to meet us here. Though, we could pull iron out during the collapse and shove him off the side of the catwalk to get buried by rocks.^
)It's not a bad suggestion, but she's going to get pissed we didn't tell her- and I can and will say that they contacted you first and you told me, so you'd have hidden it from her too...but if Iron's influencing me this much, we probably should.(
We stepped on the elevator and I felt the scratching in the back of my skull again.^Okay, Hero, are you trying to peek inside my head? Cause I will keep blocking you out.^
*That isn't me.*
^Well, whoever it is I keep sending a bunch of junk data their way when they do so they end up with stuff like that time I caught Shepard looking at Fornax.^
)Seriously?...I wonder if-(
*You cannot blackmail Raptor, or Cecelia if they happen to have subscriptions.*
^You sure countered that pretty fast. As if you were hiding something for all three of you... but in Drell edition.^
*Once! Once I bought one of those!*
)Great, there's yet another image I never needed in my perfect memory. Can we just pull them both out of my head before I go nuts? And maybe rid of this mental link too? It's really distracting, and I feel like it doesn't really add anything to what's going on.(
^You're telling me, I only had Drew in my head and he actually talked to me. Didn't have to chat inside my head like this with my eyes opened.^
*Drew?*
^Hang on, I might be able to transmit you my memories through this link... deleting that one... removing the real world and sent.^
)I...I kinda want to know what you removed, but at the same time feel certain I don't want to know.(
"Bourne, Ty, pull your heads out of your asses and get down here! We're going to see if we can find a way through that energy field down there. I want you scouting the far end of the cave, make sure we don't miss anything."
I ran to keep up with Shepard. ^I just removed what it was like inside Saren's head. You guys shouldn't have to go through what I did.^
)Oh. Then, thanks. Having the memories of one lunatic trying to conquer a mind is enough.(
^Best. Chapter. Ever.^
)It would be. If it were opposite day.(
^Dude, I got to smack an armature with a sniper rifle. Seriously, I thought Spike was joking when he said it.^
*Wasn't the sniper rifle thing your idea anyway?*
)I wasn't being serious about using it as a club!(
^Yeah, so, Trebor and Spike aren't going to be around today. Mostly because we drugged them. Well, I drugged Spike. I think Bourne just punched Trebor out.^
~You used the nyquil right?~
^Yep, mixed it in with his liquor.^
)Well...I was going to knock Trebor out, but then I considered how much abuse he's put me through as is... I just ended up asking him to not come.(
(...That worked?)
)I think I surprised him by just asking instead of using violence. He said yes, looked confused, then shrugged and went back to playing MK9…He is really have a hard time with that one fight.(
^Huh, you know. Now that I think about it we probably could have just bet Spike that he couldn't do the Raging Demon with Akuma on Hard mode. That would have kept him busy for the next week.^
~Then he wouldn't have worked on Users: Prime for a week. Lord knows we can't give him a reason to put off writing or he does.~
(Yeah, you know how many chapters of SaWoF Trebor's completed in all this time? Four- well, maybe five by the time this comes out, but whatever..)
^Yeah, Spike is at 4 with Users 2. So far, I don't like it.^
(Probably because I'm not in it.)
^Dude, we have Danny. Your arguement is invalid.^
(...We need to have at least one scene with both me and him at once.)
)...Only if I'm drunk, KOe'd, or otherwise unable to actually take in that scene.(
*You could just not be there.*
)Even better.(
^Well, then it would have to be Tali, Cecelia, or me. Which one of us could it be?^
~It would be funny to see Danny and Iron chatting it up in front of Cecelia.~
(OMG yes.)
^I think that we could get the others to work it in at some point.^
)If you'll excuse me, I'm going to go make sure I have pepper spray for when all the fans go nuts over that idea.(
^Dude, he is still bragging about the fan art someone drew of him. Now, I got a feeling that there is going to be more of him and Iron.^
(...Yeah, Trebor hasn't gotten any fan art.)
T117:...Yet.
(Keep dreaming pal, keep dreaming.)
^Why don't we do a contest? You know, whoever draws the best picture of Bourne, the gang and me or just Bourne and me gets… something? What should we offer the winner? How about a $3 code for xbox live money?^
)Meh, worth a shot. Worse thing that'll happen is nobody submits anything and we keep the money we'd have spent.(
(We meaning Trebor and Spike?)
)Yep.(
^Actually, Spike has a buddy that gives him $3 codes once a week so it cost nothing for everybody.^
(Oh sure, take all the fun out of it.)
T117: We'll have details about next chapter.
^Wait, why are you here? Shouldn't you be playing MK9^
T117: I booted Bourne off the computer for a sec. Wanted to see if I could find any tips on how to beat that guy.
^Lame.^
T117: What? It's a legitimate strategy!
^Really, I thought that you would have gone with the Yu-gi-oh abridged "Ignore me!" quote.^
)He's more of an RvB guy.(
^Then, what is with the Yu-gi-oh fanfic?^
)...You mean the one he hasn't touched in ages?(
T117: I'm working on it.
(Meaning he's trying to decide if he can figure out a way to somehow give the guy a deck more like the one he actually has now, or if he just needs to start over and rewrite the whole story.)
*Again.*
T117: I've been busy lately, give me a break.
^Why not have him get his deck stolen and build a new one?^
T117:...Uh…Because it's still somewhat…I can't just...Screw it, I might just end up using that idea.
(Might? It's the only good idea you've had about it for ages.)
T117: Yeah, but the earlier chapters do kinda need some work...I'll just do a quick rewrite/update and then work on the next one. If/when I get time.
^I expect at least a shout out since you are using my idea.^
(Yeah, he's totally going to shout out to a fictional character in a story he's co-writing.)
)...You do realize the genius named one of the characters David Bourne, right?(
~The genius that also couldn't figure out a name for you and relied on someone else's.~
)Given that he was giving me a fake name to use, and I've got amnesia, it makes perfect sense.(
*Not really.* (No it doesn't.)
)Oh, like your names are any better.(
T117: I do that in real life, hence it makes perfect sense...sorta.
)...I think I liked myself better before I started actually talking to you.(
~It's okay Bourne, you still have Ashley for another week after this.~
)...What's that supposed to mean?(
^Oh, um, well then. How about them winter olympics?^
~Yeah, they sure are great.~
)...You sent Spike the first chapter of SaWoF to look over, didn't you.(
T117: First five actually.
^Can't wait to see the bobsledding.^
~Yeah, as long as one of the crew doesn't screw up.~
)I hate all of you.(
(Oh, sure, you can say it, but when I say it I'm a psycho.)
^Oh, do you remember last year when that guy missed the sled?^
~Yeah, that sure did make me laugh. But then I felt bad for the guy because he missed his only chance.~
)Yeah...kinda like Ty and the escape pods.(
(Huh? What do you...oh, yeah, that was awesome.)
^... Hehehe, what?^
~Oh, I forgot we were keeping that from you.~
^Oh, I probably just get some deadspace armor and fly through space and catch a pod right?^
~Cough.~
^Right?!^
~1473I2.~
(Sayon- oww!)
)That's my job.(
(Jackass.)
)Sayonara.(
