Nothing but that we are not cats.

[He shrugs. Actually, if this is how cats are, then sign him up for it, it's better than humans.]

It isn't made up, exactly, the name of a colleague. The point was to avoid the obvious questions of 'Berserker', but fear of a true name being recognised. But hiding the true name is the point of the title. Frankly it's hardly better, as that man was used in the novel, it would be simple to see through.

More's the pity.

[ IT'S OKAY BERSERKER, she knows you wish you were a cat, everyone should. just kidding though. ]

Huh. Won't it come out if she tries to contact him by that name? Or do these things accept false names?

[Who doesn't want to be a cat.]

I would imagine they do not. It's all around incredibly misguided. People like that will always be liars through and through.

But it should be fun to watch fall apart, shouldn't it?

[ She assumes he will get a kick out of that if it happens, anyway.

...Shjima actually would, too. Sorry, Jekyll. ]

It will be more amusing if I am not put in jeopardy in the process.

[One of the many drawbacks to sharing a body.]

Still, it will serve him right. I hope to see it happen very soon. And with others besides.

Do you think this woman likely to attack him for the lie with more than words? She must be an interesting woman, if so.

[ Jekyll, wtf are you getting yourself into...Shijima would be annoyed if either of them got their body killed, she likes talking to Berserker. ]

At least you can handle yourself, no?

No, not at all. I only wish such a thing would come to pass, that I am able to handle, as you say. Would welcome it, even. My concern would be only for the spread of the truth beyond my own means. Multiple identities and names can be useful, in some ways.

[He just didn't want a fellow doctor to think badly of him for being a mad scientist, okay. ...Even if she's Frankenstein and he figured that was just a name, whatever.]

Well, let me know how it turns out if it turns out interesting. I've been getting a bit bored.

[ Thus agreeing to go on a quest at all... ]

That Dorian fellow. He was going to push me into the fire that once, you know.

I will, of course.

[And then he grins. Distorting the innocence Jekyll's face normally carries in its youth and kindness. It's far from the other's soft smile.]

Was he now? I had thought something more must have been going on. I've heard something interesting about him myself. [Well, it was told to Jekyll, but same thing.] Apparently there is something 'dark' to him, which he may not yet have realised fully.

Well, he was going to try. I wouldn't have let him.

[ Calmly factual. ]

He had that look, until Jekyll interrupted. I haven't spoken to him since, but I probably will later.

[ just to bother...him............................she's so nice ]

What did you hear, though?

It would make little difference. Still, who would want to allow it. If it comes to it, though, please allow me, as I have been made to suffer through his company so often.

[Good on you, Shijima.]

What I was told, however, was quite basic. The woman did not know the details of it herself, only what she has seen of another version of him, from her world. Essentially Jekyll was warned I might be drawn to him for sex as she was.

[He waves a hand flippantly. As it is, he still doesn't like Dorian, but he's getting more interesting, at least. But he's still too annoying to sleep with.]

Apparently there is something malign 'in him' which he revels in. At least, in the future, he would.

I didn't notice anything like that about him, but I doubt it would effect me even if it's simply something that hasn't taken place yet.

[ She ain't a human, after all. GOOD LUCK WITH THAT, HUMANS. ]

But if it's a case of "in my world" then it might not be something to rely upon, I suppose. Still, I think there's probably more to him that there seems to be. I wasn't even trying to rile him up, not really.

I doubt it was meant as some inherent ability. More a guess at my preferences, which of course my other half would disapprove of, and that I might influence the boy poorly.

There is certainly something even now, no matter the differences between this one, and another. He has been holding something back. All the more clearly if he meant to attack you in such a way. What caused it?

He was wondering if spontaneous combustion was possible, so I offered to spontaneously set him on fire.

[ SAID LIKE THIS IS...A NORMAL...THING...TO SAY............... ]

There was freaking out on his part, and he asked how I'd like it if he did that to me, to which I pointed out he couldn't, and that's the point when he would've tried.

[ basically she was being herself at him. ]

[Okay but that's hilarious. He has to laugh.]

A fine response on both your parts. Would you have done it? I would wonder after a reason for such an absurd question, if not for expecting such utter stupidity from that boy.

Don't be ridiculous. If I were going to kill him, I would have simply ripped out his throat. He wouldn't die from being set aflame; there were far too many people there to put it out.

[ #sane answers ]

[Totally sane answers. One he likes very much. There's another laugh of approval.]

If only it had come to pass. But then it is better you did not, if only for witnesses being quite the trouble.

[Like that time one stupid maid saw him beat someone to death, didn't even know who he was, and still managed to set the whole city after him?? Or having to sit through an entire evening with exasperating men to pay them off when the bank opened. Don't have witnesses.]

Yes. I probably would not have been invited back there if I'd done anything, and that would have been a pity. It wasn't a bad place to nap.

[ truly the main concern ]
