[politehulk]

No, no it wasn't my fault. It's not - stop saying that!

[you can't hear the other half of this conversation, natch]

Stop it... There's nothing wrong with who I am. There's nothing wrong with me!

[rustle, fumbling around]

Hey! Give that back!

Teddy Altman caused the death of the woman who raised him. Hasn't taken responsibility

[not_so_smooth]

Whoa, Teddy, you okay?

Stupid question, of course you're not okay...

shadow

[politehulk]

He's not supposed to be okay. But he'll pretend.

Re: shadow

[not_so_smooth]

Who the hell are you?

shadow

[politehulk]

Just a lonely, downtrodden shadow. Unappreciated. Having to live this fool's life. Did you know he saved the life of the skrull who killed his mother?

[holymadonna]

...It isn't your responsibility. Regardless of the condition of your birth, a man creates his own future, that's what a wise old friend of mine used to say before he died and came back insane.

shadow

[politehulk]

The Skrull and the Kree have been at war for generations. He could stop it all.

[holymadonna]

He's but one person. He could help but peace is a built effort and not magically attained to burden someone with this duty.

[politehulk]

-will you just-

Sorry - sorry, Dr Lillith. I didn't mean for this to get out onto the network.

[sent_back]

Go out.

shadow

[politehulk]

Out? But we are out. Very out.

[sent_back]

....Teddy.

Away from the computer.

voice;

[politehulk]

no, I don't want to hear it, stop

That wasn't me.

[failrider]

Teddy-san?

shadow

[politehulk]

Nope! Close, though.

[failrider]

I'm sorry, I don't really...

voice;

[politehulk]

Sorry Ryoutarou, he stole the communicator from me. Just ignore whatever he said.

incoming!

[punnotintended]

[bursting in from the other room!]

Teddy?

incoming!

[politehulk]

Just give it to me you -

[In the act of snatching back his network communicator from the shadow, looking horrified and dishevelled.]

incoming!

[punnotintended]

[Crossing the room in a few strides]

Is that... your shadow?

incoming!

[politehulk]

[They both turn to face Billy at the same time in creepy synchronization, but then the shadow starts making lewd gestures and Teddy looks disgusted and turns to face it again.]

I don't.

[And turning back to Billy again, looking defeated.]

Seems like it. A lot more talkative than the ones in Kingdom Hearts, though.
