I don't belong here. There was another one here, before me. I've been right all along. I didn't want to be found, and it should have remained that way. I'm... no one.

Guess I know what it feels like now to be fake. Just another clone. Is it really all that I am?

What... what was he like? The other me?[strike-through difficult to read but totally

The emo is strong in this one.

You should write that down. They'd make for some killer lyrics if you ever go indie.

[darkshield]

Write that down... Thought I just did.

[endswithme]

I thought you typed it... nevermind.

You new here?

[darkshield]

Type, write. I got it saved either way. What the hell were you talking about anyway?

Yeah. I don't get how everyone's so quick to talk to random strangers.

"Indie," you know, independent. As in, a music band that produces its own music.

It's something you end up getting used to, here, whether you like it or not.

[darkshield]

Haven't got much time to get into that stuff. Not until now anyway, I guess.

Well, that's unexpected. I could be after your life for all you know.

[endswithme]

So what world are you from?

Been there, done that. If anyone here really wanted to kill me, they probably would've succeeded by now.

[darkshield]

Destiny Islands. Haven't seen it in... years.

Don't have much faith in your skills, do you?

[endswithme]

So you've been traveling?

That's not what I meant. My point was that there's enough crazy people in this city that if they'd wanted to kill me, then they could have by now. People have more interesting things to do, I guess. As for my skills, well... they work for me when I need them to. That's fine with me.
