[It's Atsushi! Without his glasses, and with his hair pushed back, and looking 95% more grumpy than anyone has seen the 'usual' Atsushi, but it's definitely him.]

My other half told me that I need to make more friends. [Speech patterns are definitely Inner's, but it may come as a shock to anyone who hasn't met him yet.] I don't care, but if it'll satisfy him I'll ask.

People willing to be sparring partners preferred. No one too noisy or annoying. If the other Atsushis don't like you then I hate you already, so don't bother replying.

[This is how you friendship, right?]

Comments

[So close and yet so far.]

Split personality.

[terribletwos]

what does that mean/ how can your personality be split/

[tigerpoet]

We're different people who share a body. Look it up.

[Inner is a lot less patient with questions than Outer is.]

[terribletwos]

i never heard it called that before.

[ Because yes, he has experience with this... ]

does that mean atsushi is asleep right now/

[ Since that's how it usually worked for him and Sora. ]

[tigerpoet]

I can wake him up if you'd rather talk to him.

[terribletwos]

i thought you said you wanted to make friends.

[tigerpoet]

He wants me to make friends. I don't think I need them, I just want to appease him so he won't try to make them for me.

[terribletwos]

what do you want to be called/

[tigerpoet]

If you have to call me something besides 'Atsushi', I don't hate 'Tiger'.

[terribletwos]

i thought you wanted to be called something different. you're not the same, right/

[tigerpoet]

We're different people, but he doesn't have any more claim to the name 'Atsushi' than I do.

[terribletwos]

which name do you like better/

[ This is becoming too confusing, and he should be used to this sort of thing by now. ]

[tigerpoet]

[Cannot believe we confused the Kingdom Hearts.]

Atsushi.

[terribletwos]

[ Hey, we all have our own names at least. Even if people like to call us by each other's names... ]

uh, okay, atsushi.

i've never seen your other fight so i don't know how you usually do it. do you have weapons/

[tigerpoet]

I'm a swordsman. And a good one.

[terribletwos]

i can spar with you then. i also fight with weapons.

[tigerpoet]

Prepare to lose.

[terribletwos]

don't count on it.

[tigerpoet]

Bold words from a pipsqueak.

[terribletwos]

you won't say that after we spar.

[tigerpoet]

We'll see. Come over to [address.]

[terribletwos]

[ Well, Roxas is showing up at said location, looking as unassuming and probably small as ever. It feels a little weird sparring with another version of Atsushi since he's never even fought with the other one. But the conversation got his rebellious streak pumping and he's looking forward to seeing how Atsushi does things.

Notably, he doesn't appear to have any weapons on him. ]

[tigerpoet]

It's not locked, come in.

[Atsushi, on the living room couch, doesn't seem to have any weapons on him either, although he is holding a book. If books are weapons in Kingdom Hearts I would not even be surprised.]

[terribletwos]

[ There are indeed. That is Zexion's weapon of choice since he's a sorcerer. Though Roxas isn't going to immediately be on guard because of its presence.

He enters as directed. ]

You want to spar... in your apartment?

[tigerpoet]

Do you have somewhere better in mind?
