[He's a little curious about something, actually. This place intrigues him quite a bit, what with the monsters and even the wonderful morgue with the dead bodies-.... ah, that murderous urge of his rises every so often, but he manages to keep it down by killing monsters here and there.

In any case.]

Heehh.... How splendid it is to see all the little insects crawling around in here.... the lot of you- do you truly understand how fragile you are? Life can be taken away so easily... hehahaha....!

I wonder, I wonder.... besides the monsters that are here, has anyone taken the life of another? And by that I mean- a person, maybe someone close to you? Maybe someone in this tower you had just met....?

Don't be too shy now.

[justiceerror]

It's all there is to my life.

[mayatama]

How is that possible? You're not... killing now, are you?

[justiceerror]

...Not exactly.

The urge has subsided for now... but it'll rise again.

[mayatama]

[She feels so bad for this guy. The fact that he... was created for the sake of killing people, just like some sort of robot... it's sad.]

I'm really sorry.

[She's apologizing. It's not her fault, nor does she have to, but...]

I wish I could help...

[justiceerror]

[...

....this girl.]

Why apologize when it has nothing to do with you? Saying such words could be dangerous you know, maybe even a sign of weakness....

[mayatama]

Well, if it didn't have anything to do with me before, it has everything to do with me now!

[Sorry, Battler, but you're going to have to deal with this 19 year old idiot for now.]

If it showed a sign of weakness, I don't care!

[justiceerror]

[....HE DOESN'T UNDERSTAND

HUMANS ARE WEIRD.]

Hehh.... no no, such bold words.... you're staring into the eyes of death itself and yet you're not afraid.

What was your name again? [now he's just intrigued.]

[mayatama]

[Humans aren't weird.

Maya's just weirder.]

If I was afraid, I wouldn't be a good spirit medium, now would I...

{OH RIGHT]

Maya. Maya Fey.

[justiceerror]

[maya for weirdest.....

ah, she's right about that. Dealing with the dead a lot and whatnot.]

Maya hm...? I'll have to remember that name. As for me... [oh great, she better not cry at this too.]

...I don't really have a name, I suppose 'Battler' would do... [he's just a copy of Battler after all.]

[mayatama]

Then it's Battler!

[She won't cry. She's stronger than that. She... has to be.]

[justiceerror]

Now I'm curious... will you be able to differentiate 'me' and 'him'?

[his counterpart of course.]

[mayatama]

... Him?

[What are you talking about, fool. You have to be more specific!]

[justiceerror]

Him.... that idiot, that fool... aah....! The one that continues to deny that we.... that I killed his family.

I wonder if he's here.... his name is Battler as well. [THIS IS WHY IT'S GONNA BE HARD.]

[mayatama]

[ WOAH WAIT

Waaaaait a second. ]

That means... you're like... a doppelganger? A copy? One of those... 'shadow' things?

[ Hmmmm. Maya thinks things over a little bit. But only a little before she comes up with an idea. ]

If he has the same name as you, why don't we just give you another name? Like Relt Tab!

[justiceerror]

Heehhhh.... you got it, that's exactly it. I'm not human, and I'll never be human.

[there's a little strain in his voice at that.]

No, I don't like that name. But I agree, sharing the same name as that fool... I can't stand it.

[mayatama]

But it was a perfect name for a doppelganger!

[ She huffs a little bit, puffing her cheeks out. She knows the best names for these kinds of things. Most of the time.

I mean, come on! You can't say no to "Ayam" or "Xin Eohp"! ]

If you don't like it, though... maybe you should choose your own name! A new name! It will make you your own person!

[justiceerror]

A child doesn't get to choose their name.... their parents give it to them.

Why should I have to choose?

[ BU ]

[mayatama]

Well, people can change their names, right? So this is your chance to change yours.

[justiceerror]

[he sighs heavily.]

Maya. Pick a name for me. [he's basically.... asking her to just do it, he can't do something like this.]

[mayatama]

You're asking me...?

[Okay, let her think this through...]

How about Blacky? [She's horrible with actually picking a name.]

[justiceerror]

[...]

Do I look like a Blacky to you? [maybe having her pick was a bad idea.]

[mayatama]

I don't know, maybe!

[She's joking for the most part, especially since 'Blacky' is more of a dog name...]

But I think you're more of a 'Kuro'... or something like that.

[justiceerror]

Kuro?

[he... perks up a bit at that.]

I see.... perhaps that will work.

[mayatama]

Really?

[...]

Then we'll have to spread the word!
