Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

Don't waste your time, you can't compete with a ghost.

@Threads of Fate

I'm just as much a ghost! I think I can!
*Breaks into maniacal laughter*
And on that day when I can die, the real you will hate the real me.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

Because to me, you're more a fun distraction than anything. It was fun to train you, so I did it, despite nobody really wanting me to. You were entertaining, and that's what mattered to me.

@Threads of Fate

*Stares at you with seething eyes and gritted teeth*
I will find a way. And I will make you feel it.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

*Grabs your wrists and pulls them backwards until the knives are out of my eyes*
Then you didn't learn enough, and fundamentally misunderstand me.

@Threads of Fate

*Snarls and spits in your face*
How?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

*Stands there, bleeding*
Good job, great way to waste what I did. Showing that it was a good choice.

@Threads of Fate

I will make you wish you did not choose me.
*Coughs*
I want you to hate me as much as I hate you.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

*Grins*
Good luck with that. You're way too stubborn to ever get what you're asking fr.

@Threads of Fate

I’ll prove it to you!
*Glares before ramming a pair of knives into your eyes*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

*Moves my head so that it only slices my cheek*
Why would I do that? What a waste of time and resources. I'm pretty well done with you, so holding on to me is only hurting you, not me. Which is fine if that's "what you want" to do, since you say that's all you do in life. But it's kinda pathetic.

@Threads of Fate

You made me like this!
*Grips another blade tightly enough that my hands start to bleed*
I want to win. I want to waste what you built. I want to take from you the years you took from me.
*Chunks fall from the ground into a vast nothingness, above an angry black sea*
If each beat of your heart was a whole life full of the worst pain, the hate you would feel in the end is not close to how much I hate you!

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

*Shrugs again*
Dunno. I wasn't really involved in that decision, either. Besides, I'm clearly still around, even though that's the big problem with you, so we can't really say I left you until you move on. Fitting, that. You have to learn something on your own for once, rather than having it drilled into you.

@Threads of Fate

*Flings a knife between your eyes with pinpoint precision*
Why don’t you just kill me? Then I can dance with you in death.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

*Shrugs*
I never really had a reason. I did things, things happened. The original goal was to use you to prevent something, but that was never really my goal. I just wanted to find someone who could be interesting, and you certainly were that!

@Threads of Fate

All that, and you still died. Left me. Was it worth it?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

Except telling people what you want to tell them. Though if you must know, yes, somewhat.
*Taps a finger to my head*
You turned out really well.
*Flicks my finger away from me*
My being here right now is about the only flaw, really.

@Threads of Fate

So what was the point? What did you get out of me, and what do I get out of this dead life?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

Oh, you can speak, huh?

@Threads of Fate

To you.
*Stands up and crosses my arms*
Aren't you proud? I live like you taught me. I do just what I want to do, when I want to do it.
