XX7: The Dissatisfying Ending [Video - Accidental]
[The communicator switches on from the vantage of someone's belt. It has a view of a white jacket, interspersed with glimpses of someone's dark tabard and white apartment walls.
The first voice is weary but light in tone.] I can't believe we sailed that far just to end up where we started... [Luke sighs heavily and drops his luggage to the floor.] Florian! We're back! ... Huh. Maybe he's at the restaurant.
Yeah. [He says it all quick and terse, and then there's a loud thud as Asch dumps his packs on the floor as well. Then, there are the shuffling sounds of unpacking as he silently fumes. It's a short while before he finally speaks again.] After going through all that… here we are again.
I can't believe it. [His voice is filled with bitterness.]
Asch... [Luke stands there with his backpack in his hands, feeling incredibly useless. This is not a new thing for him. His fingers tighten, and then he tries to summon up some optimism.] ... I'm sorry. But we have an idea of what's out there now, and we all made it back in one piece. It could have been a lot worse.
I know that! [Asch snaps as he rises to his feet.] You easily could've died for absolutely no good reason. The party would've been left without the leader who coordinated this, and then we still wouldn't have found a way back home!
[Luke faces his original, frowning in return. Haha, it probably sounds like Luke is arguing with himself.] So we didn't find a way home. What's important is that we know that we can escape. If something really bad happened to the City, we wouldn't have to be trapped here along with it. It doesn't have to end here... and neither do we.
Escape to where!? We sailed across an ocean and found 'land' that was actually someplace back in the City! How is that an escape!?
[Suddenly, the device slides from its holster and crashes to the floor. This is when Asch kneels to check it and discovers it posting.]
Dammit!

Yeah, we're back.
[He sounds a tad disappointed.]
[video]
From the sound of it, it was a dangerous trip… is everyone alright?
[video]
[video]
How did you manage to get back? I didn’t see the boat.

[He is curious about that, naturally. ]
video;
[He thinks this explanation is very straightforward.]

Hyperresonance? Is... that some kind of magic?

Replica?
[Eagle smiles. ]
That must be how you were able to get past the barrier? If you were able to make the barrier resonate it would have been easier to push through.
[A theory he had once tested, with different results. ]

[He pauses, looking incredibly worn out and... sad.]
... Yeah. I'm Asch's replica.
video;
[Replica puts an entirely different spin on it… though Eagle isn’t exactly sure what to make of it. ]
You aren’t brothers then? You seemed to get along so well I could have sworn you were brothers.
video;
[That... almost sounds like a compliment, and it gets Luke to blush.]
Brothers? Hahah... you think so?
[So many mixed feelings.]
video;
video;
[A pause.]
You don't... think it's weird?
video;
[Nah, he is more curious than anything. ]
video;
There's a lot of reasons to fear and hate replicas. I'm... prepared for it. I don't agree with it, but I understand why.
video;
[Unaware of the politics and biases behind being a replica Eagle is immune to them. ]
I have always found you to be a trustworthy person.

... Thanks.
