Further Questions

[thelightontheedgeofsleep]

 *A man, or at least a humanoid shape in a robe, is people-watching from a dark corner. That only holds its interest for a few minutes even here, however, so before long it comes up with a few questions.*

What do you hunger for most, and what is the most hungry you have ever been? What are the best and worst things you have eaten, be it in morals or simply taste?

"I don't want to say this place has any kind of pattern - it's too weird for that - but I've noticed a lot of the people who end up here have at least that in common, for one reason or another."

Hopefully none are quite like me.

"Even with alternates, no two people are ever exactly alike. I wanted to beat the crap out of enough of my alts to be sure of that..."

Well, then, close enough to me.

"I never even met one that was really that close," Zero says. "Though that's probably because my family was coming here before I was made. This place can change things."

The closest he'd met was a young Zero who didn't consider Wily's other creations to be his siblings - which for this Zero is still a huge difference. And most of the rest had been Maverick Hunters or complete amnesiacs wearing armor that looked like a thong... Zero makes a face at the memories. "It definitely changed things for the better, for us."

May it do the same for me. At least for what little time I stay here. *He gives one of his cracked-iron laughs.* I have promises to keep, after all. Vake-The-Betrayer has lingered long, but I will see to him before I'm through.

Zero just nods to that. He knows some things about having... problems that need dealt with. "If nothing else, this place can be a tactical advantage, if your enemies don't know about it too."

[thelightontheedgeofsleep]

A place to recover, if nothing else. Not that I have any way of recovering left to me, truly.

I am Mr. Eaten for a reason.
