[Minato frowns. In his mind, he's quickly going over all the information he heard so far and comparing them to past information from the Underworld.
Is this yet another game between the gods? Or a trick of the Apportioners? He can't rule out the possibility of other reasons for his world's destruction (assuming it's true, of course) even when Hades ( Read more... )

Okay, he can handle multiples of others.
He can handle different universes and he knows they are BOUND to happen.
... But certainly not to him. He is unsettled. This other is clearly him, but he went and outed his last name, just like that? Well, shit. He's a marked person, normally, he never would have done that. So this just leaves him with a look of confusion. ]
They revive reasonably quickly.
[ A beat. He cannot possibly want to think about this, but... what is it with this 'him' that's got him so agitated? He isn't sure why, but he just can't place the feeling he's not going to like where this goes. ]
... I suppose, considering how often the tower brings in alternates of people, I should have been expecting this.

Part of him wants SEES to know. Part of him... does not. But his willingness to be truthful will always outweigh his urge to simply say "go fuck yourself".
... At the very least, he is far kinder than Takaya. ]
You put your resources not to investigating the people who sponsor you to clean up their mess, but instead to mindlessly obeying them?
[ Tch. He's disappointed. ]
Our lives would have been far easier if your team would have just died when we locked you in that bunker. I guess I was just too soft because I dislike wasting bullets.

I don't want to assume you're the same as the Strega I'm familiar with. But why do you want the Dark Hour to continue?

... It would be difficult to do what we do without it. Impossible, really.
[ It sounds cold and calculating, even to himself. The back of his mind is ill at ease, reminded of why he loathed Takaya as much as he did. But they were different.
Murdering people for pay. Gunmen for hire. Selling Suppressors or other illegal things. These were all ways that they made ends meet, just to live, and it was not easy--he did what had to be done. The blood was on his hands, generally ( ... )

Peace and quiet, a time when no one would bother him on nights he or the seniors don't allow training at Tartarus. Or when he's not spending time with his friends.
He cares for them, but he'd like to indulge his small, selfish desire to be alone and rest. His only company would be the voices and his own thoughts.
But it's something he keep to himself.]
It does have its good points.
[He won't press on what the other Minato need the Dark Hour for. Necessary or not, he might disapprove of it.]

[ Flat out surprise. He is so used to Minami being utterly AGAINST it... but then, this IS him he's talking to. He had a tendency to see both sides to all things, after all. Usually.
Still, there is a bigger issue at hand. ]
Why did you give out my--well, our last name?
[ This is probably the confirmation he's looking for as to the differences. ]

[...]
To see who knows me or my same last name.
[That should covers SEES, from his or Minako's world, as well as anyone he interacted with in the Underworld. And knowing whether he's alone here or not.]

... If they corner someone, then it's going to be you.
[ He is intentionally vague. ]
I'm not going to go down because of your carelessness. I will never let them find me again.
[ All he had to do to be reminded of his life was feel the weight of the pistol in his shoulder holster. The gun that had taken so many lives, just for his own sake. For his 'family'. ]

[That reasoning is why he endure the hardship, both back home and in the Underworld. Torture, death, having his sanity tested, it does not matter as long as everyone isn't hurt.
(It might be difficult, with how widespread the 'games' can be--)
He would say he won't cause Minato trouble, but that's only referring to intentional ones. He have no control over unintentional trouble by others.]

Stay away from Chidori. I don't like violence, but I'm not afraid to kill if it's necessary.
[ USER HAS DISCONNECTED |
Static is all he sees after this, and he won't be getting any replies. It's mostly a warning. He doesn't trust anyone in SEES, and he never will. ]
