So what are you gonna do when they outlaw all that superheroin' nonsense you all lowe so damn much?

[to his credit, he's trying to sound grave. (it isn't working.)]

We take this - and we're goin' to, since we got such big pushers for mustard-bellied diplomacy in charge around here - they ain't gonna be satisfied 'til they got us all on leashes. And at the first signs a dissent, they're gonna hang us by 'em. I sure hope you lot can handle the usage a our powers bein' a criminal offense, since that's the next thing to go. A Wulcanus gun in ewery Natiwe hand and a trackin' chip in ewery filthy imPort, right?

[a theatrical pause. contrary to his usual habit of getting worked up in his tirades, eridan's been very calm (albeit smug in his "my unreasonable paranoia was entirely justified" kind of way) but no less intense throughout.]

We start goin quietly into that good fuckin' nocturnal phase and we aint newer gonna stop.

Her name's Ruka. You can ask her about it yourself.

[wild_roar]

Ruka. Okay, I will.

I'm not about to be the one to start a fight, though. I only want to help people, not perpetuate some sort of prejudice against superpowers.

[if this were video, ruka would've seen him visibly start at that.]

Wh - what?

private;

[dragony]

You're not supposed to tell people about that!

private;

[amoray]

I thought you already told people!

private;

[dragony]

Why would I tell people that?! I kinda like, you know, people not worrying that I'm going to get jumped any time I go anywhere by myself.

private;

[amoray]

Why the fuck would they do that? You're perfectly capable.

[because obviously leaving your loved ones to fend for themselves is how to relationship!!]

[dragony]

Because if dangerous things happen to me so often, then clearly I need someone around to protect me. Or to act like a parent, and tell me what I can or can't do, or where I can or can't go.

private;

[amoray]

...Huh, good point. Ewerybody likes micromanagin' somebody else's affairs and such.

You had many folk pull that routine with you?

private;

[dragony]

A few.

... That's right, you arrived after he left.

private;

[amoray]

"He"?

private;

[dragony]

Miles Edgeworth. He was... the person who took me in, when I was in danger, and was my guardian for... a really long time. We even went through with the whole adoption process.

It... got rough at the end. [understatement!!] And then he ported out, and he hasn't ever been back since. Or been replaced. Not that it'd matter.

[amoray]

Wish me and Ed's story could of ended like that.

[wow eridan wake to make the entire conversation about you some more]

private;

[dragony]

Really? Because I'd much rather have arguments and still see him around, than have how important I am wiped from his heart. The fact I exist wiped from his memory.

You'd prefer not mattering, Eridan? You'd prefer everything you've done, every sacrifice you've made, completely forgotten?
