Really... And he presumably remembers most of his life...? Do you know if they actually grew up together?

[selfpreservationist]

They were together as children... and I know they met later, as adults, but I don't know about anything in between.

[rollplayinghouse]

Hmm.

Well, I guess being an adult with experience and skills, even if you don't remember them, is probably pretty different than being a child...

[selfpreservationist]

Naturally... so I'm left wondering what happened to split them apart so severely. Twins... aren't supposed to be like that.

[rollplayinghouse]

...What are twins supposed to be like?

[selfpreservationist]

... they're supposed to be... closer than this. I'm not sure where I'm getting that from. It's just a feeling.

[rollplayinghouse]

Well, I assume they're not generally mortal enemies...

[selfpreservationist]

No, these two are... especially stupid in that regard.

[rollplayinghouse]

They're especially stupid in a lot of regards.

[selfpreservationist]

At this point, I only have Sparda to blame.

[rollplayinghouse]

You don't think they got it from their mother? She did sleep with a demon.

[selfpreservationist]

Mother was... I remember only a little bit about her, but I don't think she was that kind of person.

[rollplayinghouse]

You remember her?

[selfpreservationist]

Just a few seconds of memory. When we were children...

[pauses]

We were playing outside in the yard, and she called us in to give us both something. Two amulets, a gift for each of us... for our birthday.

[rollplayinghouse]

Amulets...? Where they some kind of magic thing?

[selfpreservationist]

It's possible. At the time, it was just... a beautiful thing, to a pair of children. We were... happy.

[rollplayinghouse]

[her expression flickers slightly]

...It sounds nice.

[selfpreservationist]

... but that's all of her I remember.

[rollplayinghouse]

...Well, if it was like that, maybe there will be more.

[selfpreservationist]

I...

I haven't told Vergil what I am yet. I don't know... when I'm going to tell him. I keep finding excuses to put it off, but I know I'm being... cowardly at best, hypocritical at worst. What do you think I should do?

[rollplayinghouse]

[...]

You know, Nero also asked me what to do, when you got here?

[selfpreservationist]

He did?

[rollplayinghouse]

Yeah.

I told him he probably shouldn't be asking me, since I've done pretty terribly with all the people I've known who've shown up.

[selfpreservationist]

... is that your way of saying 'deal with it yourself'?

[rollplayinghouse]

No!

I'm just saying—a lot of the time I can speak from experience, but whatever advice I give here may not be good.
