...So I'm here. I don't understand why I need to be here, but here I am. It's weird anyway. This place is stupid and my senpai are all younger than before and I don't really need to be here anyway. I know what I'm doing

...You're the illusionist they picked to replace me later?

[whinymist]

You're the reason I have to wear this stupid hat?

Maa. I expected something more significant.

[needsmo_money]

I expected something much more...dignified. Couldn't they find someone who didn't act like a child? No wonder Bel tormented you so.

[whinymist]

Well, I was kidnapped by insane psychopaths in my early teens and forced to do their bidding. One would think that's not good for a child's development. Besides, I think Bel-senpai is contagious.

So, why does he like you so much?

[needsmo_money]

Normally, it probably wouldn't be. But if you were chosen by the Varia, you were a lost cause to begin with. And I was able to resist him.

...Do I really need to say why?

[whinymist]

They chose me because I'm good with illusions, not because I was good at killing. That part they had to teach me.

It's not like I know. I've never met you before.

[needsmo_money]

That's not quite I meant by lost cause.

No, you haven't. But you do know Bel quite well it seems. You should be able to figure it out if you have even an ounce of intelligence in that large head of yours.

[whinymist]

Ohh? You know, you really should be clearer. Being all mysterious and hard to understand doesn't make you all that ominous.

Well, he always was quite obsessed with you. Which was weird since he never seemed to care if someone else died. Bel-senpai is weird like that.

Are you jealous?

[needsmo_money]

Anyone with half a brain cell that was in the Varia would be able to understand what I meant.

In Bel's case, what do you think that means?

...Why would I be jealous of a child like you? You may have replaced me in my duties as the Varia's illusionist, but you'll never be able to replace me in the ways that matter.

[whinymist]

It's not my fault all my senpai are psychopathic idiots. I didn't choose to work here.

I think he's an idiot, but then that's his default setting. I think he liked you, though. Too bad you were a baby until you died. Bel-senpai's not that weird. I think. Not like I know what goes on in his head.

Yeah, well, I'm pretty sure Bel-senpai never had dreams about me, so you're right. Not that I know if that matters to you, it's not like it brings you money. I heard that's what you care about the most. Or if you mean as an Arcobaleno, I don't really care. I wouldn't want to be a baby. I don't even want to be a Varia illusionist, though.

Grandpa.

[needsmo_money]

Perhaps not, but they wouldn't have chosen you if you weren't capable of becoming a psychopathic idiot.

Well, I'm certainly not dead right now, and I am most definitely not a baby. So really, do you think that he stayed away when he had the chance?

If it didn't matter to me, I wouldn't have taken him into my bed and wouldn't be living with him currently. And while money is very important to me, there are other forms of payment, as you will one day learn. As for being an Arcobaleno, well...I will always be cursed.

And really, do you think my age bothers me?

[whinymist]

Does that mean you are a psychopathic idiot, too, since they picked me to replace you?

You know, you could have just said you're dating him, it'd have been much simpler. Though I guess it's good to know Bel-senpai is neither a paedophile nor a necrophile. That'd be just too gross. Ew.

Hey, I'm not that ignorant. However, all I know about you is what I've heard, and the Mammon I've heard about only cared about money, gold, gems, valuable items, and other things easily traded for currency. I never heard you put price to sex. Curious. Then, I guess my senpai wouldn't have found out when you were a baby.

You're the one who called me a child, so obviously you do put some weight to age.

[needsmo_money]

Of course not. You may be a replacement, but that doesn't mean that you're better than me.

I despise simple. Simple if for someone with a small mind. Although I shouldn't be surprised that you need it.

I wasn't speaking of putting a price to sex, though I have used it in the past for gain. And I don't use it like that with Bel. I'm speaking of information, actually.

Perhaps, but not to my own age.

[whinymist]

Well, they sure did their best to find the closest replacement to you they could find... Also, you were in Varia, so I have to assume you also fit your own definition of "psychopathic idiot", however to define it.

As I said, trying to talk all complicated won't make you any more impressive. It does take some intelligence to put things in concise form.

You were talking about sex and then immediately about how money is not the only form of payment. If you think information equals sex, I'm sorry for Bel-senpai. Though then, I did hear you have a thing for tentacles.

Hm. Double standards are annoying.

[needsmo_money]

Then they failed miserably in that endeavor. And in all truth, I am the sanest one in the Varia.

You truly have no idea what it means to be a Mist user then. Or perhaps your master just hasn't taught you the full value of it.

You truly are an idiot or exceedingly perverse if you thought that I was speaking of such a thing. I was saying that there are other forms of payment, such as information. I would not take a sexual favor as a payment.

Which only makes me more inclined to use them with you.
