[b]he turns towards her, the cube in his left hand. his right mechanical arm crosses over his left one to offer a handshake. (ive never gone into THAT much detail to describe a simple type of handshake.... wow.)[/b]
"Hi. The name is Professor Arnold Hallow, but you can call me The Professor."
English
-
[b]Kira stares at Arnold for a few seconds, then walks out of the room.[/b]
-
[spoiler]ill do something i dont normally do.[/spoiler] [b]he runs after her.[/b] "hold on there, what was that about? You introduce yourself, and I introduce myself, and you just walk away."
-
[b]Kira's eyes widen, then narrow. After a moment of hesitation, she speaks.[/b] "I'm Kira. My ship is out of fuel, so I'm stuck here. There you go. Happy?"
-
"Well, my friends-" [b]he twitches at "friends", then continues[/b] "called me Ace, and I'm stuck here because the trans-dimensional portal i used to GET here is destroyed. At least YOUR family is somewhere in this reality!"
-
[b]Kira crosses her arms.[/b] "Family? And what makes you think I still have that?"
-
[b]He stops, then realizes his mistake.[/b] "Well, i guess technically NEITHER of us have families.... Considering i cant contact mine and yours is dead... unless they ARENT dead..."
-
[b]Kira frowns.[/b] "What does it matter to you?"
-
[b]He frowns.[/b] "To be honest.... I have no idea.. why did you just walk away when i introduced myself, rather than accept my handshake?"
-
"Did you have a problem with my walking away?"
-
"Kind of abrupt don't ya think?"
-
[b]Kira remains silent.[/b]
-
[b]he sighs[/b] "Just...Theres no point holding onto the past when its nothing but dirt slipping through your fingers."
-
[b]Kira also sighs.[/b] "I guess you're right."
-
"Not your fault. Its in our nature to want to forget the truths that keep us awake at night."
-
[b]Kira looks down in guilt.[/b] [spoiler]Congratulations, you just officially hit every trigger lol[/spoiler]
-
[spoiler]DAMMIT![/spoiler] "Listen, its not your fault. You're playing the hand you've been dealt. there isnt anything wrong with that." [spoiler]I have quoted, in this conversation alone, 3 times.[/spoiler]
-
"And if it was my fault?"
-
"Then there isn't anything wrong with that. There's a saying where i come from-Old World Blues. It refers to those so obsessed with the past, they can't see the present, much less the future, for what it is. They stare into the what-was, eyes like pilot lights, guttering and spent, as the realities of their worlds continue on around them. You're not one of those people. So you should do what the rest of us do." [b]he begins to walk back to the workshop[/b]
-
[b]Kira walks away, now in deep contemplation.[/b]
-
[spoiler]you were supposed to ask what we do... i was gonna drop a load of poetry on you, saying "play the hands we've been dealt".... shit![/spoiler]
-
*watches you walk by* You alright?
-
[b]Kira looks at Lethal's chest.[/b] "Speak for yourself."
-
Well I heard what you two were talking about
-
"It was nothing." [b]Kira walks away.[/b]
-
You make it seem like nothing but it feels like it's killing you from the inside
