[spoiler]Looks like I won... Good fight! Go check Pants' post to see how Sketch finished Xavier.[/spoiler]

"So you still have the AI?"
-
"Yes, I do. Artificial or not I can't let him just stop existing. It's my worst fear and I don't think anyone who isn't evil should be forced to... Not even exist."
-
"Hm." [i]Xavier then starts to think about something.[/i] "You know... Do you have other fears?"
-
"Losing the ones I love... Rabies... Losing control of my instincts... Being unwanted or unneeded...... Why?"

Edited by Tamedfrog: 11/20/2016 4:23:17 AM"Well, since we're here, I'll also tell you." [i]He pauses for a few seconds.[/i] "It's... A fear of wandering a endless Void."
-
"So... What people imagine as death, as opposed to what it really is if there isn't an afterlife?"
-
"Yeah, you could say that..." [i]He had a expressionless gaze for a few seconds.[/i] "You know... I used to fear the things you did. Losing someone, being alone... But all that changed when I left my own dimension. Now I'm... How should I say this... Broken. From the inside." [i]He pointed to his chest, which represented either his heart or soul. Or maybe both.[/i]
-
"I didn't leave mine... I was thrown out by a d@&$ed malfunctioning wormhole generator..." *He rests his hand on Xavier's shoulder, looking up at him.* "It gets better... Especially if you can find someone, like I did with Leyla... I still sometimes have breakdowns... Okay, about four times a week... But Leyla and my kids are what have really helped me to push passed it. The breakdowns aren't about losing my old universe anymore, but rather what happened to me after..."
-
"Well... You didn't have it much worse than me. I watched my whole dimension collapse when I was standing in it. Everything was destroyed within a matter of seconds. And worse thing is, is that I haven't found someone suitable to love, since I never get the chance." [i]He sighed.[/i] "Just how unlucky am I?"
-
"I'd say you're still luckier than me. When you have my appearance and you can't speak English, it is not good when you meet hunters... Multiple times."
-
"Hey, my soul was literally broken when I was injured back there. I was basically living in hell, trying to find the basic necessities, fighting off Anomalies and Corrupted who didn't have room for talking, I was basically alone until I found a group of people from the other dimension that crashed into mine."
-
"Well, lets just say that we both had it equally bad. I'm sure you were probably set on fire too a few times during that... But back to talking about recovering... It really does get better, trust me. You just need to find someone you care a whole lot about, and let them help you get over it. Wether your relationship with them is romantic or not, it will still help."
-
"Well, because of the fact that I haven't found someone to love yet, I'm one unlucky guy."
-
"Don't say that... You'll find someone eventually."
-
"Seriously. It's been a few years for me."
-
"And? It was a few years for me before I found Leyla."
-
"Well... Maybe you are right."
-
*He pats Xavier on the back.* "I'm sure I am... And I don't mean that in a cocky way, I mean it in a reassuring way."
-
"Well, if you say so..."
-
"Well, this is a change of subject, but what do you think I should do with the simulation?"
