[WHY AM I HERE.

... despite his annoyance, he puts his sword away slowly]

[areplicatedhope.livejournal.com]

Luke, you came back. I've been waiting for you.

[royalaschole.livejournal.com]

Don't call me that!

[cfuw-shepherd.livejournal.com]

But that's your name.

[royalaschole.livejournal.com]

I shed that name a long time ago.

[areplicatedhope.livejournal.com]

Why not? You're the real Luke. The rest of us are all fakes.

[royalaschole.livejournal.com]

I thought you were done with that, dreck.

[areplicatedhope.livejournal.com]

Did you want to see the others? They've gotten so quiet lately.

[royalaschole.livejournal.com]

...

What others?

[areplicatedhope.livejournal.com]

The other replicas. I'm the nineteenth replica. That means that I'm much closer to being you than the others.

[royalaschole.livejournal.com]

... There was only one replica made, you idiot.

[areplicatedhope.livejournal.com]

Why would you think that? It was so important that a Luke die at Akzeriuth. If the replica had died before then, it would all go wrong. We can't have that. We all have an important job to do.

We're created from it's data. Did you want to see how good we've become at being you?

[royalaschole.livejournal.com]

... Has Akzeriuth happened?

[areplicatedhope.livejournal.com]

I don't know. Master Van says that I'm not allowed to know things like that until I'm needed. He'll need me soon.

[royalaschole.livejournal.com]

... Don't call him master.

[cfuw-shepherd.livejournal.com]

Kill him.

[royalaschole.livejournal.com]

—What?

[cfuw-shepherd.livejournal.com]

He's not the real Luke.

Kill him. Get out of here.

[royalaschole.livejournal.com]

Give me some information first.

[cfuw-shepherd.livejournal.com]

Kill him.

[areplicatedhope.livejournal.com]

[laughs]

He said you'd say that. He said that you'd come here one day. I waited so long to see you. The others want to see you too. You have to come and see them!

[royalaschole.livejournal.com]

I don't need to see anyone. There shouldn't be multiple replicas here.

[areplicatedhope.livejournal.com]

But there are. We've waited for you, Luke.

[GRABBING THE GODDAMN REPLICA]

Asch. My name is Asch!

[areplicatedhope.livejournal.com]

[no reaction other than continuing to smile at him.]

You're so silly, Luke.
