[Mushverse: for OOOs peoples mostly]
I think I'm becoming more human.
I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not.
Actually, I'm not even sure if that's possible.
Which is what has me sitting outside in my usual park, at the base of a tree instead of in it for once, turning my Switch over and over in my head, sometimes balancing it on it's point and seeing how long it can stand like that, and wondering...
It's been a while since I've used to last. Not since we found Joe.
I wonder if it's possible for it to stop working.

"...what do you mean, you can do plenty? I thought you all came back as regular humans."
no subject
I hesitate at his question, then try and shrug it off without putting my hand near my pocket. "You're the last person that should be saying regular humans can't do anything to help."

He would figure that out. This is my own fault. I scowl at him, and hiss a little. "I'm not about to tell a stranger."
no subject
"Fair enough. Good luck with whatever it is, though." My eyes sharpen, and I look hard at his face. "You do have a chance, here. It would break my heart to see you waste it."
no subject
"What do you care about whether I waste something that's mine?" I snarl. "Besides, I'm doing fine. I'm doing the right thing, I'm using it to help."

"I do. I'd do anything to keep Hina safe, and if that's why you're fighting, then I can't argue. Just know you're not fighting alone."
no subject
"That's why I'm on the good guys side this time. So I don't have to be alone anymore."
no subject
"That's good to hear. ...and I'm sorry. I didn't mean to upset you," I offer, looking down at the cat shedding lazily on my shirt. "I'm still adjusting to everything being changed around, too--it's not as easy as I thought I might be. My intention wasn't to insult you, or what you're trying to do. It's just a lot to process."

I pause, contemplating his words. "She's not here?" I don't think Eiji or Ankh had ever mentioned that. Then again, they'd never mentioned him either.

"You don't consider them family, then?"
no subject
no subject
Well, maybe he's wrong anyway. "The Greeed are kinda my family too. Like brothers and sister. Not like my parents and brothers who took me in. Different, but the same too."
no subject
no subject
"If I have to." I say carefully. "They're human now, like me. But they're like my family, so yeah, I'll protect them."
Oh, fuck it. He has to find out eventually. "The other Ankh came back too."
no subject
Until you drop that particular bombshell.
"Wait, what?!"
no subject
"Yeah. Before I did, actually, but like. A long time before I did. He's... grown up some."
no subject
Ankh won't be taken away again.
"Sorry. We weren't exactly on great terms the last time we met," I say, mostly steadily, pushing my hands firmly into my pockets. "How does he feel about Ankh being around?"
no subject
Sorry, Detective Shingo guy.
I blink at him for a moment. "I'm not sure. He's kinda hard to understand. Always was." I leave that hanging, no need to point out that he wasn't entirely all there in a very literal sense. "And he was alone for a long time. And he's still... young, ish. He wants to see him. But I don't think Ankh would like it." I tilt my head. "I don't think he means anyone any harm. Sometimes it's like he still wants to be one with Ankh, the rest of the time it's like he's trying really hard to be his own Ankh."
