Where Are They Now?

[misheard]

Looking back on your life, there's a lot you've said and done that you wouldn't have expected when you were younger, right? If you ever got to meet your future self, what would you have to say about their changes and experiences? -Or if you met your past self, what would you think of them?

1. Post with your RPverse character talking to a different version of themselves. AU, canon, different game, whatever.
2. Other people can interject and have double the fun.
3. ???
4. Profit.

...

All right, now actually be honest with me, please.

[croibhristeoir]

Please do not accuse me of lying.

[unknownrival]

I'm not. I'm accusing this of being a fabrication.

[croibhristeoir]

I'm afraid it's not, Issei.

[unknownrival]

...But. Magic. That I have and use. To keep a man around to serve me somehow.

Are you sure that's what's going on?

[croibhristeoir]

Quite positive, yes.

[unknownrival]

What is wrong with you two?

Don't ask me.

[croibhristeoir]

There's nothing wrong with us. Is there, Ryudo-dono?

[unknownrival]

No, indeed there's not.

[croibhristeoir]

I'd certainly hoped not.

[He took Issei's hand with a smile, turning back to the younger one.]

Really, you need not be so hard on...yourself. You should listen to him.

[unknownrival]

But he's so... [Issei waved his hands in a vague gesture.] Not what I am.

[croibhristeoir]

What of it? Do people not change over time?

[unknownrival]

From what I've seen he has yet to improve.

[croibhristeoir]

I will not allow you to speak poorly of my Master, even if you are one and the same.

Why do you think that way? I realize I did not know you at your particular point in time, but the Issei Ryudo-dono I have known is a wonderful and kindhearted individual.

[unknownrival]

He's hypocritical, clinging to his notions of being a monk while indulging his every excess and paying no attention to the code of conduct a monk should have. His vices of wrath, lust, jealousy, I could go on - these would be bad enough if they were not possessed by someone with my name and face.

I can't stand you, Issei Ryudo. I refuse to accept that I might possibly end up like you.

...you're too melodramatic.

[croibhristeoir]

You're wrong!

[Dammit, you do not talk shit about his Master.]

[unknownrival]

Diarmuid, please... And you, you shut up.

I will not take back anything that's the truth. Or shut up just because you said so.

[croibhristeoir]

[Issei or not, Diarmuid looked damn near ready to punch the grumpy little teenager.]

Stop arguing, both of you.

[unknownrival]

Diarmuid-san, I'm sure you're a very nice person and it's not your fault that your master is obnoxious, a tramp, and unforgivably a pretender in the robes of a monk.

Do you even know what 'stop arguing' means?

[croibhristeoir]

Say one more word against him and I'll--!

[Deep breath, Lancer.]

[unknownrival]

Diarmuid, really, I talked to Greed, I've heard all of this before.

...despicable.

[croibhristeoir]

Ryudo-dono, please forgive me. I can not simply stand here and allow anyone to--

I heard that.

[unknownrival]

Do you think I'm frightened of you?

[croibhristeoir]

No. No I do not, and you have no reason to be. For there is neither circumstance nor reason you could ever place me into that would lead to raising a hand against my Master. That is because there is no other to whom I hold absolute loyalty.

And my reasoning for that is because the Issei Ryudo I know is the most wonderful and caring person I have ever met. I would surely be dead if not for him, and it is for those reasons I will not idly stand by and allow you to speak so coldly about someone I love.

[unknownrival]

...you really have him whipped, don't you.

Just shut up, all right?
