[manufactured]

I'm assuming the others you've seen were at least slightly better than yours, given that this is what you're falling back on as an example of "something worse."

[scythegun]

Well, some of them were about the same as mine! But otherwise yes, most of them were better...

[He hates his outfit so much, oh my god.]

[manufactured]

I'm almost sorry for you.

[...i mean wesker's kind of judging everyone's life choices here tbh

apparently you and some prostitute were trying to start a war??

what the hell did the union do to you

...what the hell did the union do to this hooker]

[scythegun]

[that is a very good question, honestly]

My life truly is suffering, Albert.

[it's so Difficult]

[manufactured]

Between everything you've told me and this person's outfit, I'm not sure which of you is having the larger crisis, honestly.

[scythegun]

I want to say he is because of the outfit, but honestly I have no idea! I don't remember very much about him, fortunately.

[That's probably going to change at some point, but for now he doesn't have to suffer with that knowledge!!]

[manufactured]

The less you know, the better, most likely.

[...look at him.]

[scythegun]

Precisely what I was thinking! He's probably a bad influence on me!

[Or maybe it's the other way around...]

[manufactured]

[...You know, he'd say that not even your influence could possibly be this bad, but first of all look at you, and second of all he is entirely willing to believe that someone dressed this person up like the world's worst Barbie.]

...I'll take your word for it.

[scythegun]

Don't look at me like that, it's possible...

[Not likely, but definitely possible...!!]

[manufactured]

I don't recall saying that it wasn't.

[...keep lying to yourself, buddy]

[scythegun]

[HE TOTALLY WILL!!

Anyway, he'll sigh and pull the paper back to doodle some more.]

His outfit is the worst I've seen, but I wouldn't be surprised if there's someone wearing something just as bad. I have no idea what could be just as bad as that, but I'm sure this world could come up with something.

[manufactured]

It seems interesting, at any rate.

[Just judging by the people who crawl out of it, anyway.]

You'll have to tell me more about it once you've remembered, you know. The world in general.

[scythegun]

I'd certainly like to. It does seem interesting, if a little... bizarre, at times. I'm still not sure why that dog has a pipe in its mouth.

[of all things to get stuck on...]

[manufactured]

As much as I'd like to provide even a possible explanation for that one, I've no idea either.

[...Outside of "maybe he just likes it", but that's dumb??]

[scythegun]

[That's so dumb??? Oh my god.]

Oh well. I'm sure I'll learn more about it in time. Maybe someday I'll even figure out what I was trying to do! Besides starting a war and posing as someone else for some reason.

[manufactured]

Perhaps you just haven't managed to remember the right combination of things yet. I'm sure it'll make sense in time.

[Hopefully it won't be in the same way his goddamn memories suddenly started making sense.]

[scythegun]

Ja, I'm sure it will.

[...]

Speaking of that, have you remembered anything else lately?

[manufactured]

Not since I told you about Birkin, no.

[The answer is easy enough, though he seems to be tensing up a bit; this...doesn't sound like it's going in a direction he's going to care for, but at the very least that reaction tends to imply that you'll get him to talk, he just won't like it very much.]

[scythegun]

[He didn't think Wesker was keeping anything from him, so that's good to hear. But even so...]

I suppose there really isn't any ignoring it, as much as I'm sure we'd both like to. We both had terrible dreams and we probably should talk about them.

[He shifts a little where he's sitting. Jaeger's not exactly fond of this either, but he's trying to be more open with Wesker. It's difficult to open himself up like this, but he'll attempt.]

So! Do you want to start with my dream or yours?

[manufactured]

Yours.

[He has his reasons for wanting to start there, though he doesn't seem particularly interested in voicing them; he doesn't imagine Jaeger will do it for malicious reasons, but at the same time the man likes to ignore his problems - and it's decidedly easier to do that and not work back around to them if they start with something else.]

We can discuss mine after the fact, and I'll ensure that we do. But we aren't starting there.

[scythegun]

Okay.

[Yeah, that is absolutely fair. He hates addressing his problems and judging from his expression, he's already regretting all of this. But he's going to press on anyway, because he said he'd talk about it.]

...I don't really know where to start. It's not as common a nightmare as yours, apparently. But it does happen sometimes.

[manufactured]

What does it usually say to you...?

[That seems as good a place to start as any; is it just a lot of what he saw himself, or...?]

[scythegun]

The same sort of thing, usually. We usually fight for awhile and he kills me. He's always better than I am and he taunts me the whole time we fight. He really doesn't know when to shut up.

[Sort of like Jaeger himself. And while he sounds like he's trying to keep it light, it's obviously not working.]

[manufactured]

...It sounds difficult to deal with.

[He hasn't dealt with that exact thing, not so explicitly, but similar themes surface in his dreams from time to time; it's...unpleasant, to say the least.]

Do you believe the things he tells you?
