[ he really should be asleep by now, and it's obvious he needs it by how exhausted he sounds, but he has to get rid of this particular urge first. it's been bothering him since the adrenaline (and chaos) finally died down. ]

... Can anyone else summarize their day in two words. I'll start.

[ a meaningful pause. ]

Giant robots.

[ ivan can be seen looking at it with a disapproving stare. ]

I think so, or some kind of thing that's into... kabuki or something. I don't even know.

[disenchant]

That's easy for you to say.

[ you have a giant robot. ]

[labrador]

You shouldn't be accustomed to such a thing.

[ Suddenly his tone has gone awfully quiet. The reminder of what he'd saved Ivan from still persisted to this day. ]

[neonnerd]

Yes, I believe so. Another a unicorn, it seems.

[...and then he has to go an ask difficult questions that are harder to brush off. Benjamin scrubs a hand across his face, though the gesture can't be seen.]

I've known this might be coming for... quite some time. By the time it does occur, I hope to have echoed back feeling natural in that form.

[disenchant]

[ oops, sorry. this is something he's been thinking about lately, especially now that he's remembering more and more things. ]

But that's what you used to be in the past life. ... Why go back to it? It doesn't make sense to me.

[argents]

Not as much as you'd probably think. But I get it.

[lookulittleshit]

Well. That's one way to conceal your identity.

[dead_black_eyes]

Thank you. I'm sorry, it's just... my memory isn't at its best right now. I wanted to be sure.

[jasminebloominginshadow]

My preincarnation had only one.

[disenchant]

That doesn't matter. [ it's been a long time since something like his past encounters has ever happened, but still. ] I want to help somehow.

[ and this is the first thing he thought of. ]

[disenchant]

[ this isn't happening. ]

—Are you saying I should wear it?

[labrador]

We can find a way to do that without you being in harm's way.

[ There's no room for argument on that. ]

[disenchant]

Okay. That makes sense.

[ no, it doesn't. none of this preincarnation stuff makes sense. ]

[lookulittleshit]

If you ever decide to dabble in robbery... Until, you know, you master the shapeshifting.

[ Daniel, shut up. ]

[disenchant]

[ ... ]

Pass. The helmet looks too stupid.

[lookulittleshit]

Ah, and what would the 'other you' think to hear you say that? He might have been quite fond of it.

[disenchant]

If he likes something like this, he has bad taste.

[ ivan, no. ]

[lookulittleshit]

Now you're criticizing someone you barely know.

[disenchant]

The helmet alone is telling enough.

[lookulittleshit]

You never know... It might come in handy one day...

[disenchant]

[ he finally puts the helmet away because wow, what an eyesore, and then the feed goes back to audio. no more facetime! ]

I don't really see myself wearing it.

[disenchant]

... Are they letting you keep it?

[disenchant]

Maybe you should tell the clinic?

[disenchant]

... Fine. We'll find another way.

[dead_black_eyes]

They know. I hit my head really hard. They had to bring out the serious band-aids.
